    Can you imagine what it would feel like to be beaten by a small boy? I mean his hands can't even be big enough to grab a full size xbox controllerand he's screaming in his pre pubescenet voice "HEAD SHOT!"

    Thats the sort of thing that makes a man go play The Sims.

    So does that mean that the rest of the world doesn't care about Pro Halo except for Canada who has a pro version of the game that has a few different rules mostly regarding player substitution and level size and is mostly ignored by fans of the US version of Halo?
