Competitive Halo - MLG, PGL, UGC

Synyster

I searched and didn't see a thread about competitive Halo.

 

Major League Gaming, Pro Gaming League, Ultimate Gaming Championship,  - these are all leagues that hosted Halo tournaments.

European Gaming League, Electronic Sports League

With the Master Chief Collection releasing soon and UGC doing a 10k Halo 2 Anniversey tournament, the competitive Halo scene could be rising from the dead. Hopefully MLG will pick Halo back up, if not, I assume PGL or UGC will attempt to get something going for Halo tournaments.

 

Currently, the best place to get information on competitive Halo and Halo in gernal is www.TeamBeyond.net.

 

 

If you know nothing about competitive Halo, I suggest watching these video's.

The elitism was pretty horrednous on the forums and the playlists. I hear LoL and Dota are very similar.

They are worse but I don't play Moba's and they aren't close to my heart, Halo was and the behavior of the MLG type's ruined it.

Don't worry man, you're not alone at all. It took me a long time to find other MLG fans that weren't complete ass holes.

I left that platform completely a few years ago, my only interaction with Halo now is through the books.

Have you been keeping track of MCC at all? Becuase it's amazing!

I know of it's existence yes, however I have no interest in getting it as I will not buy an Xbone to play it. If I can't have it on my PC then I won't have it.

I believe it's coming out for PC, don't quote me though.

 

I do know that Halo 1 is getting 8 PC maps though.

They've not come out and said it it will be on PC, at this point I'm just going to assume that it won't.

I doubt 343 is going to focus on PC at all, they're more likely to put there effots into Halo 5 beta and fixing any issues.

Hopefully with this Halo gets back to a decent level in Esports. Such nostalgia especially back in the 2008 days.

 

P.S Optic's Halo lineup looks pretty insane.

What?

Competitive Halo was literally the thing that launched my Addiction to comp halo. To me it was the best E-Sport and will always be the best one.

I loved competitive Halo and still watch people rumble the MLG playlist on Twitch.

You didn't mention EGL as well as ESL, both of which are big tournament communities and are active outside of the US (that's what I hated about MLG).

I'll grind the Team Hardcore and Esports playlists of the Master Chief Collection really hard.

 

By the way, I like that Carbon profile picture, Naded would be proud of you ;)

2008 - 2010; the best!

I'd argue that Halo is the reason Esports even has the big presence it does in North America; it's no LoL or Dota though.

I was trying to remember all of the competitive Halo tournaments and I couldn't remember anymore than MLG, PGL and UGC. Let's be honest though, other than MLG, all of them weren't really relevant, ha. I'll edit my post though!

 

I think Naded would be proud for repping Storm Ventures, not Carbon :)

Halo is a game that you play with your friends when you're s**tfaced and can't really see straight. 

I can't see how it's an interesting spectator game.

Sadly, they weren't.

 

Maybe we can get around to play some customs? I'm slowly starting to get the hang of Halo again which makes me happy.

You could watch some of the vidoes in the OP. If none of those are interesting to you, I can find some more.

Yeah dude, I'm currently only playing Halo 3, and not much lately due to school, but I'm not sure when I'm going to get an Xbone and MCC, I think I'm gonna wait a couple weeks and see the reviews and more gameplay.

I come form an arena shooter background from unreal tournament. I have way more respect for Halo now than I do COD.

Did you not know about the Competitive Halo scene?? It's no Unreal Tournament in terms on game but the competitive Halo scene used to be amazing and littered with talent.

 

Let's be honest, Anything > CoD

Oh man, those aren't Halo.

 

A lot of people claim that No Bloom No Sprint on Reach is some of the best Halo you can play, but I disagree. 1, 2, or 3 are the only options if you want a true Halo experience.

 

 

All MLG does is play COD And do retarded trickshots and shit like that.

Yeah, MLG has gone quite down hill since dropping Halo; it's a shame.

I never cared, and probably never will care about the competitive scene of Halo. Halo to me has always been about the single player. It's a shame the MLG scene is now just full of CoD kids thinking that trick shots are what makes a pro game. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

"Well that's what I always said I wanted to be remembered for, for being honest. Nothing else is worth a damn"
