It's actually unreal that some classic Halo guys are still hating on Ninja at this point. The man just oil baron juiced the tourney by 100k and gifted every player 100 subs. Yeah, he wasn't known during H2 but he looked up to these guys. Stop the negativity ffs

It's crazy how much I see the newer generation undermine how difficult Halo tournaments were during the MLG era. Halo was THE esport back then, attendance was 4 or 5x what it is today. We played on 78 FOV, 30 FPS, in 480p, on tube TVs (actually with less input delay though) 1/?

How awesome would it be if they brought back the Halo 2 clan system for Halo Infinite? Up to 100 people in a clan with a hierarchy and shared rank for minor (4v4) and major (8v8) clan matches. Was such a cool concept back then and nowadays orgs could have official clans in-game.

Just learned that on @Splitgate 's custom map builder, creators have remade nearly every Halo CE and Halo 2 arena map (no surprise)... It got me thinking. Maybe we should do a 4v4 customs night on Splitgate and try them out. Would be a lot of fun for sure. Anyone down??

Cheating has obviously become a serious issue in Halo Infinite. But when it comes to openly accusing people of cheating in an HCS tournament, you better have undeniable evidence. Accusations can ruin someone's career, and if you accuse and are wrong, there should be consequences.

When is a game developer going to make a game with gunplay as deep as Halo 2 on purpose? An FPS with intentional button combos that you could master to outplay your opponents. Almost like an FPS/fighting game hybrid. If done right, could be pretty sick.
