What the fuck?

What?

Combination of salt, history of difficulty for blacks/minorities getting into some tech fields and that image from a couple of years ago of an MS team that had no black people in it.

 

[Valkrai]

I like the commentary and esports but come on. They're trying WAY too hard to make this an esport.

 

[Pandy]

RIP conference
Fake shoutcasting is awful

I only joined late, missed the big three reveals. Kinda wishing I'd missed the whole thing at this point.

 

[deadman69]

DIGITAL SPOORRRRRTTTTTSSSSS

 

[IAmRandom31]

for a flagship game that " redefines multiplayer " this is the most rudimentary shit ever

 

[Dizzy-4U]

I need to buy an Xbox. I'm missing out on so many games...

 

[The Flash]

make it stop

 

[3rdamention]

I see a lot of pistol kills..... And that instant replay was hilarious...

 

[Frozenprince]

OH MAH JIMBO LADDEH

 

[Heroman]

This is dumb

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Pretty much sums up what Halo has become.

Yeah big business.

 

[Hypron]

I know Halo is popular but do they really have to spend that long on it? :/

 

[HighResTomato]

343 were okay with this? Fucking sad, stop wasting people's time.

 

[Oriel]

Someone needs to tell MS no one fucking cares, especially not for Americanised sports commentary. This is EUROPE!

 

[cripterion]

How can they show us this shit when we're a few hours away from International main event day 2?

 

[oti]

We have a German word for this. It's "Fremdschämen".

 

[jediyoshi]

So you can see enemies through walls, at all times now?


Don't like that addition at all...

No.

 

[Godan]

What the fuck in going on here. They are shoutcasting a game thats already been played lol

 

[Frog-fu]

Momentum. Gone.

 

[Newlove]

L'sigh, I'd go to twitch if I wanted to watch this. Doesn't interest me at all.

 

[nocturnalis]

I don't know what the hell this is, but I kind of like it. Still not a real sport though.

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

This seems embarrassing...

 

[dark_inferno]

Nothing is worse than watching an esport match in a game conference. We wanna see new stuff.

 

[Defect]

This is really cringeworthy.

 

[TheMAK]

Fuuuccckkkk daaatt sssshhiiieeetttttt

 

[DrEvil]

This is fucking hilarious. Why did they think this was appropriate for Gamescom, or ANY conference?

To be fair, gamescom is pretty big for live E-Sports event. LoL does their euro championships there.. so I'm sure people in the crowd are enjoying it, but goddamn if this isn't terrible to watch at home.

 

[Walshicus]

Seriously, where does the hate in this thread come from? Its not very surprising though.

I love Halo, both from Bungie and 343. But this is just annoying. I've turned the volume off.

E sports can just fuck off.

 

[Zyae]

esports commentators?
MS still don't fucking get it... nobody likes that shit.

Uhh apparently YOU dont get it

 

[Triggerhappytel]

My God; what the fuck is this e-Sports shite? This very quickly went from being a promising conference to a load of rubbish.

 

[Nibiru]

That esports commentating!

 

[lazybones18]

poonch

 

[brandonh83]

Fucking unbelievable.

 

[Mighty Bison]

As cringeworthy as this is, it's popular, especially in Europe.

 

[Tagg9]

How long is the conference? I have to head to work...

 

[Gravemind IV]

Still hoping we're going to get a glimpse of blue team and Halo 5's supposed scale.

 

[Goodacre0081]

lol @ the commentator listing new features of the game while calling the game

 

[friskykillface]

Pistols are two shot kills 0_o

 

[Asd202]

Jimbo too good.

 

[Bizzquik]

Speed-talking.
Can't even understand what they're saying.

Is this an auction? What'd I just buy?

 

[Machina]

There used to be a time where I watched Halo multiplayer footage with giddy excitement. Now, not so much.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

This is still happening.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Halo is already an ESports title?

It is a long shot dream for Microsoft for Halo to become anywhere recognized as an e-sport. They are trying to cash in on the CSGO crowd and think old Halo players will like this shoutcasting.

 

[Backfoggen]

Jeff Gerstmann losing his mind on the GB stream over this lol

Good

 

[Varjis]

I agree with everyone saying this is cringe worthy. There is a big difference between choosing to watch eSports and being forced to watch eSports...

Bad move MS, this is stupid.

 

[Duffman]

who thought that this was a good idea lmao

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Seriously, commentators in a FPS??? WTF???

Not exactly a new phenomenon on PC.

 

[pswii60]

I'm waiting for the bit where this is just one big joke?

 

[jackissocool]

this is literally scripted sports commentary

they already know what happens

there are no surprises to them

 

[SparkTR]

This is making me dislike Halo. Microsoft is like an old man trying to be 'hip' in the most hamfisted way.

 

[Skele7on]

I wish the game did have this comentary as standard. I would then know how it feels to be a ebeast.
