Anyone else watching Major League Gaming on G4 TV? Its the Halo 2 tournament. Final Boss is still on top, but last week they where beat by Carbon, again. This week Final Boss redemmed themselves. Its incredible watching them. Some sniper shots they do are truly amazing.

I actually catch it from time to time late at night. They seriously have some sick skills. I can't wait to see them on Halo 3. I wish someone would teach me to snipe better!

Yeah I watched it the other day and some of the snipes the guy pulled off where insane.

Makes me wonder what these kids are going to do when they grow up and their skills/reflexes begin to change. Their whole life is playing the game.

Is this actually on TV or are referring to the G4tv website?

Or, both? :)

Lots of those amazing snipes aren't going to happen for them, at least for a while. Those guys play on such a high sensitivity that they get major amounts of aim assist, especially when sniping. Halo 3 thankfully offers much less assistance.

Just a tangent, since you posted about G4TV.

Actually most of them run between 3 (default) and 5 (a bit more sensitive, going any higher and not even the auto aim will be of much help) but they do abuse the auto aim and BXR a lot. Halo 3 does have a lot of auto aim as well but no where near as much as Halo 2. It should be very interesting next year when Halo 3 comes into the mix.

All of you should head over to haloforever.com and check out some of the videos (I think the best one is under the map section, The Pit). There is MLG video of o Killer N o and he uses a sensitivity of 10, and rarely misses with his sniper. I was amazed at his aim. Auto-aim or not, the MLG kids are flat out amazing aimers.

Yeah, MLG encourages the use of the glitches. When they do double shots, the announcer freaks out and mentions it.

No. :) I still use tape as a generic term, never got out of the habit.

Seriously? We should play sometime, not against each other of course, I don't like losing;) Seriously though, I have opportunities all the time to take kids money and just need one more guy to help me do it.

I would love to run some games with you but I dont have Halo 2 anymore.
If you have an account on mlgpro.com you can go here (http://www.mlgpro.com/?q=node/162191) and watch a gameplay of me. This was in Chicago I think and I was super nervous because it was on the main stage and everyone was watching and stuff so I kind of choked. The other kids in that game though were some of the best FFA players there are. If you watch the show they probably mention iGotUrPistola he got 1st twice over the season and hes 14 years old and crazy good.

Got Halo 3?

I have had two copies of Halo 3. The first one went in the blender and the second I used as target practice for my shotgun:). I'm currently playing CoD4 and Unreal Tournament for the Ps3 if you play either of those.

:) I know Its just that H1 > H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3 I mean it is just...I cant explain it....Bungie screwed up bigtime and they know it. Just wait for the inevitable patch that fixes everything (Halo 2 anyone?) then I will probably play it again. On a slightly unrelated note if anyone played H2 and know your stuff watch this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=jbXI8MtCruc) and die a little on the inside.

Thats weird, I though Halo 3 fixed all the problems with Halo 2. The overpowered grenades, the insane amount of aim assist, the massive lunges on the melee attacks, etc.

EDIT: Double shot FTL!!!!!
