You are the biggest exclusive FPS on the planet on consoles, your competition hates you, but human psychology knows they just want you on their team. Or you can realize the only team to be on is your own. Play and enjoy games by anyone on anything.

Eddie-Vedder

"The Halo community, players and fans alike, came out in force at the Winter Championship to support MLG?s longest-running franchise. Your loyalty and enthusiasm did not go unnoticed, and we know you?ve been waiting to find out what Spring has in store. We?re happy to announce that Halo will be a part of the Season through a new online Halo: Reach Spring League; however, the game will not be played live at the Spring Championship.

We are continuing to work with the game publishers in order to potentially feature the Halo franchise at a future Pro Circuit Championship event, and will provide updates as soon as they are available. In the meantime, there?s plenty of Halo to be played.

Sign Up for the Halo: Reach Spring League Now

The Halo: Reach Spring competition will be played on GameBattles.Registration is now openand will remain open until May 23.The registration fee is 25 GB Credits per player, and anyone living in North America may enter.

After registration closes, teams will be split into divisions, and League play will begin.The League will run for two months, with teams playing every Tuesday and Thursday night at 9pm ET. At the end of League play, the top teams will be seeded into a double elimination bracket that will run for several weeks. We will be covering League and Bracket play on a regular basis, and tracking the progress of teams throughout the Season.

The Spring Ladder gives you the opportunity to stay in the game and keep your skills polished, while winning prize money in the process. How much prize money? It?s up to you. 100% of registration fees will go towards prizing, so the more teams that register, the higher the prize purse gets. Sign up nowand be a part of Spring Halo: Reach!"

Where does it saying anything you posted in the TC and OP?

Yeah, the franchise is becoming more and more irrelevant by the day. I still remember when the announcement of a new Halo made people go nuts and now I dont see that much hype for Halo 4. Halo had its MP has a selling point but now with CoD taking away alot of its MP fanbase Halo series are not that interesting anymore. Just my take on the matter. I highly doubt a Halo 5 for the nextbox would make people buy their console just because of it like Halo 3 did with the 360

They destroyed 'pro' Halo. But heck, even then - not really. All the 'pros' (aka virgins) could play the game exactly as they liked in the pro playlist which got rid of armor lock and armor abilities and all the rest of it. They still had Team SWAT and the MLG play list. And with the title update they even completely got rid of bloom. Sadly though virgins don't like the virgin playlist. They like to take their virginity and share it with non-virgins because that's the only way that they can feel good about their lives. In that regard, Bungie indeed did destroy Halo. Virgins simply couldn't show the world how pro they are while you're jetpacking and blooming and acting all crazy up in the place.

Wow. Well, I wonder if Tribes Ascend will get into MLG. Fighting games would be a welcome addition. Maybe Halo 4 will be the "return" of skillful Halo for many fans.

Popularity can only carry slow/auto-aim/huge-hitbox games for so long. MLG officials eventually wisen up and notice how much "skill" these kind of games require.

MLG has never gone with what game takes the most skill to be good at, it's allways gone with the most popular titles. That's why you see Call of Duty, Battlefield 3, Halo and many other console games, which all have auto aim, and arguably don't take anywhere near as skill as Counterstrike, Blazblue, Quake, ARMA 2, Starcraft and etc... etc... The demise of Halo from MLG was inevitable, it has been slowly dieing in popularity after the bitter reception of Reach by the community, and the way Halo 4 is shaping up many fans are being turned off with the return of things such as armor abilitys & new things such as instant spawns which have made the community think that 343 possibly isn't up to handling Halo 4.

Don't mind him. He suffers from brain damage and can't really control what he says. Just show him pictures of jelly and he calms down.

Halo Reach was just awful on the competitive side. The halo games just got slower and more awkward every release. I hope that Halo 4 will be great but from whats been released, it sounds pretty rough.

So? It doesnt make it less stupid calling themselves "pros" for being good at videogames. If you tell to an average personthat you are talented at playing videogames they'll laught in your face. Hell, even if someone told me something like that I would still laugh, and I'm a long time gamer

Halo being dropped in favor of more popular PC titles?

Think about that for a moment. Halo Reach sold around 10 million copies didn't it? Surely it has quite the following.....

Pfft, and consolites on this forum tell PC gamers their games will never be as popular :lol:
