Halo 2 World Tourney Finals - Aussie Champ's View

Posted by timothy on from the wear-it-proudly dept.

Remorhaz writes "Some of you may be aware that the finals of the Worldwide Halo 2 tourney over Xbox Live was held on Friday night (10th June) with the 24 Xbox Live Region winners duking it out for ultimate glory. I was there with Cabel (the Australian representative), his brother and Pidge from Microsoft Australia to play the finals - Cabel made it to the grand final round - but didn't take first place unfortunately (congrats to King Tuur from the Netherlands) - but he's done us Aussies extremely proud :) Here's Remorhaz' "writeup of an insider's view of Australia's Halo 2 representative - Cabel's progress to the finals and the night's events at Australian Microsoft HQ."

    Not cool at all. You are posting to slashdot after all.

  3. Can you use your own controller? by Dancin_Santa · · Score: 4, Funny

    I had this great idea for a glove-type of controller. It would allow for quicker movement (especially with caffeine).

    It's so bad.

    Playing a first person shooter with a joystick is analogous to driving a car with your buttcheeks.

    I've played PC games for over half my life and I still can't grasp controlling a FPS on a console. I'm sure any awards that were given out were well deserved.

      ...driving a car with your buttcheeks.

      I've tried that... Not as hard as you thing. I just feel sorry for the next guy that drives.

    Yeah, but you would end up bunny hopping around like a maniac, and everyone would know what you were doing, you sick puppy!

    I don't see how any of you play games like that. It's not very intuitive at all. I use the following.
    J: Jump
    U: Up
    D: Down
    L: Left
    R: Right
    F: Forward
    B: Backward
    C: Crouch
    Left Alt + S: Strafe Seft
