Arena: Halo 1 tournament 2002
Competitive halo tournaments have come a longs way.
For all of you that think you could've won and will be calling them noobs.
It's 2002, there's no internet everywhere, nobody plays halo competitively or even knows what MLG is, there's no video for how to unlock all the skulls or tips & faqs for halo 1 are non-existent.
Gaming tourneys are non-existent and nobody could afford combat evolved for the PC & an xbox.
For being 2002 the editing, gameplay, and competitive aspect is really high.

2 RepliesFirst-person shooter tournaments have been going on since 1995. Legendary Quake player Dennis "Thresh" Fong won John Carmack's Ferrari 328 in a 1997 Quake tournament! I think it's great that console gamers have been introduced to the first-person shooter genre, but I think it's immature to play Halo or any other console first-person shooter competitively. In a game where one of the skills being demanded is to aim aim-assistance should not be tolerated in competitive play, but it is. To liken it to something more traditional: it's like allowing chess players to use computers to calculate their best move in a tournament game of chess. It's cheating, and deducts from the enjoyment that's to be had. If you want to play first-person shooters competitively it's time to move away from console gaming.
