Worldwide Halo 2 Tourney In the Works 17

Posted by Zonk from the fragging-for-fun-and-profit dept.
Gamespot has word that a Worldwide Halo 2 Tourney is in the works, because fragging the Covenant is something we can share as a species. From the article: "The tournament will be played in the Rumble Pit matchmaking playlist over Xbox Live beginning sometime around May 2. Gamers who register and compete in Rumble Pit optimatch sessions will have their statistics recorded for the duration of the competition. At the end of the tournament, on May 30, a winner will be announced based on the highest ranking."

  • Hopefully the contest will require everyone to d/l the new update. Otherwise you know there are kids who are going to try and pull the standby crapola. Even though Bungie would kick there ass, it would still be a major inconvience to those who play fairly.

      The update is mandatory if your going to play on live.
    • Yeah, one problem with running tournaments like this through Xbox Live is that you can't tell what the other people are doing. Luckily Halo 2 v1.1 is required to play on Live, but I there are still tricks and cheap tactics about that can be exploited.

      The Team Preview playlist that they're adding (basically a 4v4 list on the premium maps, with some old ones as well) is supposed to have prizes at the end as well. I bet there are going to be some bastards who'll cheat because of it.
      • If the prize was a million dollars, I'd be upset about it. In this case, I'm going to be possibly rewarded for having a good time. All other problems involved are really not worth the time worrying over.
      • I hope the prospect of prizes draws the cheaters out of the woodwork. Then we can just give them the feedback they deserve and have a much nicer environment after the dust settles.
  • I want to sign up for this, but I'm not quite up to snuff on my foreign languages. Does anyone know how to say "n00b" in Japanese?

    But not as friends, apparently. The lack of Co-op play over XBox Live really sucks.
