Team Quicksilver is composed of players that have been playing halo every weekend since it's release. We are the ones who practice this game like a religion. We promise practices for halo 2 every week, we will improve you skills, and most of all I can promise a top 10 spot on the halo2 rankings. This is no false promise, I can back this up. We have been avid players online via the computer hookup to xbox. We win most of the time and have a hard time finding a challenging team. We have won 2 VT Halo tournaments and we have a record for beating the game on legendary (5hrs 2min, email me and I will send you video proof...yes we taped it) The only thing we lack is a large team, and we believe that being #1 requires a team effort. If you belong to another clan, maybe you should consider what side you want to be on. Our side with a sight on your head, or a clan that is breaking under pressure.If you are still unsure about it, you can talk to some of our members and ask them anything about halo, they will give you an hour explanation =) If you want proof of our skills, email me at sshippee@hotmail.com so we can arrange an online match. Remember, team quicksilver knows no bounds. *(JOIN TEAM QUICKSILVER)*

I forgot, I play under my friends account online. How about this, Im getting Halo2 at 12:00 Moday, so if your getting it, I can play you online tuesday around noon, that should give me enough time to beat the game. my Xboxlive tag is otakuman. 2v2 would be great. And yes we are godly, Halo owns us all. ^_^

if you dont already have your copy and your getting it at 12am on Tues then you wont have the game beat at noon, no matter how good you are. It's not the same game, you wont neccesarily be the best in halo 2 if you were in halo. rating your skill before you play a game does not usually prevail.

After reading some of these posts, I can't help but imagine we're in Hrothgar's meadhall making drunken boasts about who is going to kill Grendel. Otakuman, I think I shall call you Unferth. . . that seems appropriate.
Anyway, winning tournaments and playing every weekend to prepare for clan battles doesn't really impress me much. Doing those things just means you're a robot. . . a mindless automaton of Halo that has ceased to enjoy the game. Trust me, I've met enough tournament players to know that they long ago sold their soul to Xbox-Satan and are boring as hell to play with. I've never played a "pro" team that seemed to have any personality. . . (or that superb of skill [for the majority]- it's all about timing yourself, whoring powerups and memorizing spawn locations). Really, when your best taunt is saying "oops, sorry" or "lightshow" and turning your flashlight on and off, you need help. . . desperately.
I mean, listen to yourself. Beat the game in less than 12 hours? First, so what if you play the game on easy/normal and avoid half the targets of opportunity and miss out on subtle hints in the plot? So what if you blow through the game and miss the story? If you aren't going to take it at a normal pace and enjoy the experience, why are you even playing in the first place? Isn't that the point? Enjoying the game? Remember? Oh wait, I forgot. Finishing in -12 hours proves that you're "godly," and that's what really counts in the end. Whover beats the game the fastest wins, and the winner gets. . . . I dunno. . . . something we all love and want. . . . don't they? Okay, go ahead, finish the game as fast as you can to prove something that nobody really cares about and takes away any enjoyment you might have gotten from playing like a sane person. Trust me, your way is MUCH better.
Furthermore, you seem to really fail to keep things in proper perspective; you play non-stop for what? Recognition as number 1? That's laughable; you'll find plenty of people who are better than you. . . some in almost all aspects of the game. Let us not forget, either, just how trivial respect in an online community is. Stuff like that comes and goes, and I don't think you'll find much long-term satisfaction in thoughts of burning hours and hours a day into a game when you could have spent that time with people you love. "And I spent atleast 3 hours a day playing Halo2 until XboxLive servers were shut down 12 years later" . . that'd be something to put down in the memiors.
You play for enjoyment? Hardly, marathoning games to the extent you need to be the best has never given me that much enjoyment. After a point, the frequency of my playing dulls the enjoyment I get out of it. Really, how much do you enjoy a food if you eat it every single day? I suppose I play more than I should, but I always try to quit before it starts to feel more like a job than a past time.
So what do you have to look foward to? Money? Even the best tournaments don't pay enough to eek out a comfortable living. . . at least, I've never heard of ones that did. Fame? Halo will be forgotten in 10 years, so how could top players retain their former recognition? Enjoyment? Not likely, and you'll only think of it as time wasted as you grow older. Health? You might get quick reflexes from excessive gaming, but I think the carpal tunnel and possible stroke from sitting in one place too long might outweigh that small and novel benefit. Women? You wouldn't have time, and I doubt you'd catch many prizes amongst women who find sitting on a couch and staring at a TV sexy. Good hunting.

Now, I ask you, Unferth, with all this in mind, why do you continue to treadmill like a Korean in an MMORPG? You lose all the things you could look foward to with more casual gaming and keep all the cons associated with heavier gaming. Life goes by fast; if you don't stop to look around, you might miss it. -famous and very true words-

Oh yes, I almost forgot it's mead-induced boasting time. I'll end up owning you online anyway. . . why not avoid the embarrassment by just not even playing Halo 2.

-mmm. . . that was nice and scathing. Sometimes I impress myself.

ummm just one thing your missing the people in the xbox magazine said they played through the campaign in about 10hrs and that was with taking screenshots and looking at all the details so he won't have to blow through the game just to beat it to be "godly" besides you can't say your godly just by going through normal you have to go through legendary and go through every single level and find out every single detail that way when someone asks how you do this you can write a friggin essay on one monster that is my qualification for "godly" but... when your talkin about online "godly" come talk to me and i'll show you a god.
