Strategy and leadership were bs terms by competitive gaming to cover players on USA/SpikeTV or streams. The only true strategy I've seen a captain come up with was maybe Walshy doing the green room strat on Lockout with the ball.

Nope, he's helping test stock Halo to make sure it doesn't break down in competitive play like almost every Halo has.

My reply to Frankie's post... must resist.
Another nice photo of the Chief:
I just really wish that Visor didn't looks so much like the cat helmet, Oakley or not.. It just doesn't look 'right', IMO at least. None the less I'm so freaking pumped to see more from FUD.
Eh, I bet the weapon skins will stay on if they are dropped, but who knows.
And yeah, I hope we have a ton of choices for Visor colors.. or maybe even visor style? It would be interesting if they had more options than just color, though I'm unsure how it would work exactly.

Whenever I was watching TD SK was always the one calling the runs, talking the most, keeping everyone focused, and stuff like that. He just always seemed to be the grounded one of the team and in that role he did well I think
Im guessing thats sarcasm since all of those but Pistola were shit on by Reach.
He was probably using Promethean Vision.
The larger point I was making was that no pros recovered from Reach, because Reach killed pro Halo. But, focusing on the specifics, the guy won 5 tournaments, and TD never won without him. He's no 2gre, but that's nothing to sniff at.
Again though, the point is that Reach made everyone retire.

"Oh damn, I dropped my pop tarts"
Perfect.
Anyway, I'm gonna retire reach at the end of August, play something else in September, and go through a H3 campaign playthrough in October, just in time for 4.
I forgot; what kind of noob would want to see through walls when you could shoot a hologram in a straight line?

While statements like that do get me excited to play the game because that hints at the direction they're going in experiencing huge and mysterious alien worlds ultimately any attempt to repilcate or recapture the feeling you had when you first stepped on the Halo ring in Halo: CE will fail I believe. And there's a reason for that: It can't be replicated. That first time you had never experienced anything like a Halo before; it was all so new and fresh.
It's good to look at that feeling for inspiration, but the best one can do in "recapturing/replicating" that feeling is a unique take on the same theme. I hope 343 is going more that route, because the other will lead to disappointment.
Part of this is the fans' fault. A lot of people look forward to the next Halo game hoping it will be another Halo: CE in that it'll replicate that feeling they had when first played the game. People should realize it's a different game with its own take on the universe. You'll be more satisfied with the final product.
Oh, we're almost there.

If any HaloGAFfer has Trials Evolution and wants to win the fantastic Dust - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=41110796&postcount=1775
Those are pretty standard things though for most players, that's just me though.
A lot of older pros (h1-h2) areas couldn't get use to bloom IMO. Players that had the most damage from bloom being in the 11' season would be players like Flamesword, Snipedown, etc. NB MLG is glorious to watch

I thought about doing it and giving it to someone, but that's kind of abusing the system, feels a bit unfair to the actual competitors.

I'm only kidding, I'm not really interested in that game. Hell, I'm not interested in any game till 4 hits.

You'd think so, but I think that team in particular needed it. Like Holiday said, they never won a tournament without him, so he must have brought something to the table.
dude .. I was till now calculating how this makes sense.. I never thought just about a normal clock.

Are we going to get footage of these matches? Probably not, but felt it was still worth asking.

I told you to get Trials, I told you! Now you need to get Dust aswell
I'll get it, when you send me that 3DS you promised me.
You forget that in 2010 they were competing against Instinct and Final Boss, both of which were amazing teams that year.
u4iX wouldn't mind commentating them either

True but they were still past their prime a bit. Str8 was a great team when it was TD vs Str8 before too. They weren't nearly as dominant in 2010 as they had been from what I remember
Brett is playing, and playing, and playing, and playing, and playing, and playing, and playing, and playing, and playing, and playing.

Funny thing is the same can be said about Halo 2 and many Halo 1 pros. Difference is that Halo 2 had a HUGE fanbase because of XBL and the hype machine coming off Halo 1, so the loss of Halo 1 OG's were more than compensated by the millions of new players.
Maybe Halo needed Reach in order to refresh the series.. I mean Halo 4 is essentially what Reach should've been in many aspects of the game, not just Multiplayer. How many people were hyped about finally having many other Spartans on the battlefield once Reach was announced?
What Reach could've been:
Reach's scale was too small for what actually happened IMO

I mean when Str8 vs TD was a thing before 2010, in both those teams' primes
Anaheim finals 2009. So good.

Frankie are these matches being recorded for, perhaps, release?
Press X to bring up your roster.
I hope Ryanoob is there.
Oh gosh... With this kind of tease you better not clan up!

Exactly, it's not like TD couldn't hold their own against a good team. I honestly think Hysteria needed someone to keep him grounded and that's what SK did.

I think that is his point, though. Going into battle with a bunch of other Spartans around.
I know a nice little shop near the place where I live.
LOL I call bull shit... this would only have been thought by players with all the skill in the world and no idea they were their own problem.

But we did that in Reach too.

The Chief with other Spartans about to enter, what's safe to assume, a large battle is what Reach should've been like. Even if MC wasn't in Reach, the scale of the story should've been much more grand. Reach's story was too grounded and secluded for the title of Reach - Bungie should've just named it Halo: Noble Team or some shi..
Clan support would be interesting though!
