@@iPayneswrld gears is a great game but I don’t think it cements itself as fundamental of competitive online arena shooters as Halo does. Halo 3 is just super polished with tons more strategy, map control, teamwork, weapon balance, etc.
I've realized that this era was just a special time man. Games Like MW2, Halo 3, & Gears of War 2 were just the literal peak of gaming. Games will never be this good again.
@jake23211. Yes it was Heinz and just recently they made another switch. Heinz is aso no longer with str8. Its tsquared, chig, soldier187, and ghostayame. Be sure to check out the newest mlg tournament. Mlg raleigh
I don't really care to get on and play it, as long as i got some friends to play it with. But there is a lot of things about the game that frustrate a lot of people. I'm not even a MLG player, but I can totally see why they hate on the game.
fair enough, although as a side note i didnt find the graphics in reach to be much of an improvement. biggest difference for me that i didn't like was the speed of the game; yes there's sprinting but i felt like it added a whole new mechanic to the game that really wasnt needed (for example knowing when not to sprint if theres an enemy nearby cuz it fucks up your aim, not to mention people hear you breathing for miles) also a big neg for me was the aiming feel, particularly with the sniper
MLG has definitely come a long way from the halo 2 days. Used to play for several hours a day, now just have fun occasionally with halo 3, but can still appreciate the subtleties of halo's game strategy. Really great.
@MiiLegendary final boss when they were legends - Walshy, Strongside, Ogre 1, Ogre 2. Walshy got dropped by a team vote, Strongside left, and Ogre 1 lives with his girl in Australia
@BLUE5294 actually Str8 Rippin Got signed to a 1 million dollar contract, which means each one of them got about 200,000 k. The other 200,000 k probaly goes to the maneger, traveling fees, etc.
I cant wait to go on my first tourny, me and my team beat Flamesword sQ and totz in halo3 mlg playlist, cant wait to meet some of the pros :) Instinct and FB good game.
@dark87415 True, MW2 was overrated with the kill streaks, which is why CoD 4 wasn't bad. No bad balancing in that, at least not nearly as bad as MW2. I was kind of questioning your comment before but then I realized there's more involved with total skill than the learning curve of the controls.
I Wish i was old enough to attend more lans and events when this game started. My older bros would play with pros but I didn't even make vids. Legendary Game. I'll still out br a scrub.
@UltimateGuy2000 basically in halo its your ability to out maneuver, map knowledge, your ability to work with a team, and your ability put shots where they count (CoD 2+4 were the only good CoDs) MW2 requires no skill what so ever, the 2-3 shot kill with automatic weapons lowers the skill gap to almost nothing. also the shotguns and high kill streaks basically tempt kids to camp to get said kill streaks and with that said, anyone who can sit in a corner with a shotgun can go positive in MW2...
Yes, it is because they all are very very similar in play styles and therefore it looks like "nothing special". And the sheer fact that playing on main stage with everyone there along with live streaming on the site makes some people a lil nervous, even if they won't admit that, it has an impact. Two players that have really solid BR's and snipes are pistola and Roy. I'd watch them most if you're new to the whole competitive gaming scene (even if H3 isn't on there anymore :( )
i like how when i play i just know people movements so i can grenade spam and hold areas with the BR im surprised to see pros not really accounting for that and staying on one side of the map I always try to rotate around especially on Pit
Ohh man it's been about 2 years since I quit halo =( i used to watch this live! on the site. What happend to Hysteria, Neighbor, StrongSide, SnipeDown, Karma, Shockwave? Tsquared all those guys still play? BLUE5294 you're right guy, we'll all quit playing games someday, college and work fuck us up. Pistola doesn't play that good anymore =/ in my times he used to OWN like a boss. Best teams: BeliveDaHype, GottaLoveTheSun, TriggersDown & StatusQuo
@gamerx112 Its not like videogames are the ONLY thing they do. 80% of them go to college. The top 8 teams get payed money. I believe 8th place is $1,800 or somewhere around there. Plus theres 5 events each year. One of which is worth $100,000 for first place.
@BLUE5294 because there can only be one winner in a championship, or at least one team winner. and you have to think how many different people/ teams there are.
@PetThePossum i completely agree halo takes pure skill in cod it doesnt take much skill to sit in the corner with a shotty case and point mlg has no shotty
True. Everything in halo 3 was better except for the campaign. REACH'S campaign had way better experience over all, it was deep and the environment was great.
I'm not ignoring the fact there's a campaign but I don't, and I know a lot of people don't buy the game just for the campaign; and I'm counting the people on these videos because you commented on THIS video. Any discussion not irrelevant to THIS video (Which is multiplayer) is useless to me and I don't want to be apart of it. This is a multiplayer video so it should be strongly dominated by comments regarding this video.
@YoungOldSchoolRapper bro it is important when it depends on what contract you sign with these guys have sponsors some of them get 250,000 dollars over a period of a year because they signed a contract and walshy signed a multi year million dollar contract and Tsquared gets paid like 120 dollars and hour for just teaching people how to play halo and also running their training camp which is like 1300 dollars to go to for 1 person dont know how long
The only difference from competitive gaming to any another competitive sport, speaking on a very broad spectrum, is the physical demand of actual sports.
where can i watch Snipedown throwing the char. lol i heard he really raged. Elamite is one of my favorite players, idk why. He was on STR8 and he got top 2 with them, now instinct and another top two, this time the win.
@BLUE5294 i agree with you overall but they do WAYYYYYYYYYY more than 5 mlg tournament a year dude they are all over doing autographs and other tournaments
@Mynameiskornsblind staying back hiding and waiting for the overshield with a sniper rifle isnt camping? since when? or maybe you just have a different idea of what camping is than me...
If only we knew how lucky we were...

The good old days man, when Halo dominated the MLG scene. Such a great game series up until Halo Reach released.
Simple times back then . I was in 10th grade during this I used to love watch halo I lived for it 😁😁
Staying up late and grinding that level 45....everything on the line. just one more win...49-50...no level up...what a feeling
Like if your still playing halo 3 to this day this is still my main game

Remember Walshy?

it's 2017 and this is still the best multiplayer ever made
It’s 2022: still true.
2023 still true 👍
Halo 3 to me was the ultimate competitive game. It took so much skill and coordination to win.
2024 checking in. Why isn't competitive FPS like this anymore?
Halo is still like this
I've realized that this era was just a special time man. Games Like MW2, Halo 3, & Gears of War 2 were just the literal peak of gaming. Games will never be this good again.
best game ever made hands down
Halo 2 > Halo 3
Halo CE > Halo 2
Halo 3 is absolutely > all Halo
I miss this shit so much... I wish I could go back in time and relive halo 3 mlg
2021 checking in, we still out here
So many people coming back for nostalgia of gaming's true peak!
This makes me want to cry
HALO 2 AND 3 BEST HALO GAMES EVER
And CE obviously
Flippy The Pony so what's your shitty excuse to not play them nowadays on Xbox One?
how would you know if i do or do not still play them
Flippy The Pony so you do? Awesome.
yes i do still play halo 3 all the time
All these names are nostalgic. Just waiting to hear the name Walshy..
Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 1 > Halo Reach > Halo 4
Halo 1/2/3 > Every other game. haha.
Lol Very true
most accurate one ive seen yet

I miss Halo 3 :(
Good times
The pit really is one of the funnest maps for teamwork for me, timing your pushes and flanks there feels very unique
gawd these people are just amazing. four years after the match and still getting views you guys rock.
Fix the hit boxes and let's get a remake for 2017/2018!!!!!!!!!
Console FPS 2014 = AIMASSIST OUT THE ASSSSSS + SHIT THAT DONT REQUIRE SKILL

Halo 2 & 3 were the best. Reach was bearable. Halo 4 was god awful.
Lol just nostalgia. 4 is the best one, reach sucked tho
MJ99PL Halo 4 is definitely not the best one.
I don't really care to get on and play it, as long as i got some friends to play it with. But there is a lot of things about the game that frustrate a lot of people. I'm not even a MLG player, but I can totally see why they hate on the game.
MJ99PL no you guys are delusional. If Halo 4 is the best one why does it have such a low population? Please tell me why.
halo 4 was alright but 3 was the best by far
Great quality. Thanks
Like your watching this in 2015
watch this in 2016
2017
2020
Why do things have to change, I could play Halo 3 forever
fair enough, although as a side note i didnt find the graphics in reach to be much of an improvement. biggest difference for me that i didn't like was the speed of the game; yes there's sprinting but i felt like it added a whole new mechanic to the game that really wasnt needed (for example knowing when not to sprint if theres an enemy nearby cuz it fucks up your aim, not to mention people hear you breathing for miles) also a big neg for me was the aiming feel, particularly with the sniper

i wish more games had no hit markers like halo 3 it's sad that halo reach an 4 is cod with aliens and space marines
I actually don't mind the hit markers. I wouldn't really care if they got rid of them for guns, but I definitely can appreciate grenade hit markers.

learn how to look at shield flare u fucking scrub
Grow the fuck up and stop trying to act like a bad ass via a keyboard little boy.
@MiiLegendary Ogre 1 retired after 2009 Meadowlands. He left FB for the Incredibles at his last tourney, but now he's just retired.
This brings me back
im not crying there is just ninjas cutting onions
so man memories , I miss Halo: 3 so much. I bet some good buddies off that game
At the time if we only knew how blessed we were and that the next few halos would be trash :( hopefully infinite brings this feeling back
@MrMarleyx Instinct vs Infamous series was awesome. The last game was really exciting.
I cant wait to go on my first tourny, me and my team beat Flamesword sQ and totz in halo3 mlg playlist, cant wait to meet some of the pros :) Instinct and FB good game.
Pls 343 make halo 5 this good! Take some notes for gods sake!!!
if not we still have mcc

@BLUE5294 because there can only be one winner in a championship, or at least one team winner.
and you have to think how many different people/ teams there are.
@ltsjack You're learning fast! must be from my amazing grammar lessons. :)
The golden age of competitive Halo. God I miss it.
Notice how the crowd starts chanting Instinct once they won.
i dont think i could pick a team i mean some players i chose to not like and i like others but i mostly enjoy watching good game play
@MegaPie007 not to me it isnt. competing is about seeing who's the best not seeing who can find the cheapest exploit. Thats my opinion
@PetThePossum i completely agree halo takes pure skill in cod it doesnt take much skill to sit in the corner with a shotty case and point mlg has no shotty
contrary to most of these arguments...
We will never stop gaming.

Damn I didn't kno towery was that big back then
pistola did terrible this tourny and they still came close. Final boss to take raleigh but instinct a very close second.
