Remember when MLG Halo was Exciting?

[@desert_boong]

wow, this e-sports shit is a joke compared to the old days of halo MLG

[@lorden95]

***** well no halo really works on mcc and the only comp halo they play is h2A on 3 maps in total

[@uPenguin]

+FBtres if only this actually happened! haha

[@lorden95]

***** mcc esport is already over. And there was like no halo2 tournaments at all. Maybe like 2-3 small ones. It was all on the halo2 anniversary game that really is not like halo2 classic. Plays different in so many ways its not even halo2 anymore. Its still fun but watching them play on only 3 maps was boring.

[@uPenguin]

***** Yeah that was H2A not classic, honestly I think MCC would have been a lot better if they just didn't remake the H2C maps at all and left everything vanilla

[@lorden95]

Shaun The Penguin yup just a reskin just like they did with the campaign. And then if they just skipped all the other halos in it to not mess it up. And also split all the players.

[@chrisp4138]

Halo 2 was the pinnacle of MLG

[@SuperFlight]

Basically the start of MLG

[@SuperFlight]

Josh Andreacchio Halo Reach was not great because of the sprints (Season 1 did not had this) and the annoying bloom which was later fixed. Halo 4 was just incredibly bad and not suited for competitive play. What's worse is that Halo is no longer in the circuit and that COD replaced it. Why? Because of Halo 4 and probably Reach if you really hated sprint.

[@KadrickNinness]

Yeah, ahh, you need to watch HALO 5 HCS. There's a clue in it for you. HALO 5 is the most competitive HALO game. Ever.

[@KadrickNinness]

HALO CE was the start of MLG. Whether it boomed with HALO 2, is irrelevant to the word STARTED.

[@KadrickNinness]

What you've effectively just said is that it's less competitive because it's more professional. Rightio. Sponsors allow the players to be more committed. Besides, if that's your benchmark, HALO:CE was even earlier, and even less established. AND more competitive. You wanna talk about people walking away? A slew of the best players in the HALO:CE MLG took a giant shit on HALO 2, for decidedly good reason. Zyos? Strangepurple? Saiyan? Clockwork? Halo 2 was hated for its easiness of play, the rashambo weapon design and game breaking glitches (got physics? They're broken off-host). It improved as it got to 1.1, but it was still and always is a dodgy game. HALO 5 is drastically superior to HALO 2. And the HCS Competitions have the new dynamics in full flight. Snipedown was right about REACH sucking with the Blooming idiocy. Snipedown tears it up in the fantastically refined HALO 5.

[@TheFallenSHDW]

The oddball guardian clip is still one of my favorite Halo clips of all time. So epic.

[@Skeptic_Tank]

The only thing that matters now is money. Not content, not gameplay. Just money! How to get the most people to purchase your game. Take skill out of it so everyone feels like a good player. Instantly please everyone.

[@TheLudified]

Like developpers didn't care about money then..

[@Skeptic_Tank]

Sorrow In A Can They cared about it, but it wasn't their main focus. Creating a complete and fun game was. Now you don't get complete games anymore, you have pieces missing, those pieces get released further on as DLC and they charge you for that. Only reason 343 didn't charge us for Halo 5 DLC is cause they fucked up so bad on MCC and had to make sure Halo players didn't completely hate them

[@theobserver4214]

Go Revive Yourself It was Game first, money second back then mostly

[@otallono]

When you realize you've grown up. The world has ALWAYS worked this way. Nothing has changed. Once in awhile you get something you enjoy on a small time scale, this is never permanent.

[@joem5148]

Yeah its funny that you say this now infinite being out and all... It was fate

[@h0minid25]

What I loved about Halo 2 is that highlights included sniper kills, BR kills with the doubleshot, and CQC with BxR and BXB. Halo 2 rocked!

[@BloxxCartoons]

After halo 3 mlg was over, it just wasn't as exciting anymore :/

[@MrHav1k]

BloxxCartoons True. I didn't even like Halo 3 all that much, but the game just didn't feel the same. The addition of sprint and a bunch of other extraneous bullshit into Reach killed it.

[@Go_Coup]

***** I agree. The only reasons that I watched H3 were: the production quality was so much higher, and to see if Walshy could form another 'god squad.' Without button glitches, Halo's skill gap is too small. And, without the large amounts of trash talk, it wasn't as entertaining.

[@7gamex]

Noremac Halo Are they waiting for Halo 5 or are they using the current MCC?

[@MrHav1k]

***** Button glitches added depth to the game and further differentiated it from other shooters. They'd be even better now that every game is trying to become Call of Dookie.

[@SeeiingStars]

halo reach was good but after that it sucked ass

[@XxDevl1666xX]

Halo 4 makes Reach look like a fantastic Halo game, and makes H2 and H3 look impossibly brilliant.

[@honestmovietalk]

Seeing this in 2024 at 31 just feels different.

[@Dochartach]

same age here dude... I agree... kinda makes me sad

[@ColByte]

Then they added sprint. Rip halo (anything after 3)

[@NoblinGoblin]

Adapt

[@matt7988]

Christopher Morales The point is it's not worth adapting to. All these people saying Halo 3-4 and Reach were good only say that because of two things. Either they never played CE or H2, or they played a few times in 2007 right before Halo 3 came out and never got the hang of it. Most of those that played since 04 or before recognize this game was a masterpiece. I remember when all the MLG pros were crying about how inaccurate Halo 2 could be at times, and that the hit detection would be better in Halo 3. Then everyone ate their words when they saw how bad it really could be.

[@ColByte]

Someone give this man a award ^

[@NoblinGoblin]

[@TheHairyDuck]

These clips send chills down my back. I went to Columbus 2009 and 2010 and those were two of the best weekends of my life. Halo 3 pro circuit was so exciting.

[@trentmoe]

The game was fun when it was just a bare bones game. Then they added a bunch of gay stuff that every good players can't avoid

[@user-ui8sp5th4g]

When games actually had skill gaps. So many hours dumped into that game. Hours just practicing button combos in hops to get that edge in a compatible moment. This will always be the greatest halo.

[@nbrigdan]

Back when halo games took skill.

[@slothfromthegoonies8201]

Bloom was cancer.

[@stormbringer7773]

Get good scrub.

[@LondonLock]

@@stormbringer7773 Thats the issue though the bloom in reach was broken as shit and did not reward skill

[@TheJimLahey]

@@LondonLock How so? WIth bloom you have to pace your shots which means you have to be more calculating. All the while dodging shots. So that takes skill. With zero bloom you just have to press the trigger.

[@LondonLock]

@@TheJimLahey the old halo games already had bloom reach just did it worse replacing the more consistent spread patterns with random bullshit

[@heheshabutie33]

As much as a would really love a Halo 2 remake, it's sad to think that it might be the only thing that could save competitive Halo.

[@alexk1682]

well aren't you in luck.

[@jesusbanuelos3373]

I remember like it was yesterday. Best rank system and experience.

[@H2KillDecline]

[@Virtute]

I love the Halo Reach complaint at the end. I mean, Snipedown is unquestionably a better Halo player than I - but one paced headshot at the end would have done it rather than a rushed unpaced stream of DMR shots. I think Bungie did the right thing with the DMR bloom.

[@SniperRed0092]

Games change over time. I personally love when Halo changes, it makes things more interesting. You don't have to play new installments. If you like the older games fine, but don't talk down to anyone who likes a little something new.

[@bradmenz4092]

A 'little' something new...they added a lotta something new, which made the game not fun for anybody...

[@mwill3324]

[@anstytroll11]

+Person. true but cod never changed the gameplay alot like halo reach h4 and h5 did...when i play cod advance warfare i kno im still playing cod when i play reach h4 and h5 i literally feel like im playing a new fps Altogether an i personally hate that....i wanna play h3 mlg but cant cause it takes forever to find a match and thats the problem..people say if u hate the new halos just go play the old ones..well thats alil hard to do when it takes almost 2 hours to find a damn game lol that sucks....h4 and h5 i dont think would be that bad anymore of they just had better maps...the maps r god awful in both games...between the 2 games theres prob about 5 maybe 6 maps worth playing maybe fot mlg/competitive settings imo

[@mike64411]

+Andrew Fackenthall halo 5 just needs to make the motion sensor a real MS and not whatever that sorry excuse is and make the maps bigger. Like give me a reason to zoom in with my sniper instead of just so scoping. Outside of war zone none of the maps are really big. Halo 2 and 3 had like 3 maps each that you needed a vehicle for just to get from one end to the other in 10-15 seconds. H5 you can do that with sprint.

[@PINGPONGROCKSBRAH]

it really was. One of the best events i've seen in a long time.

[@GETxS0ME]

Hmph, doubtful. I got bored a little bit of watching the halo 3 clips tbh. Then when it jumped to the Reach clip, yeah, an mlg pro said it himself, the game fucking sucks. Period. I thought halo 3 was garbage. Halo 2, greatest FPS game ever made, fucking period. How do you go from 60fps to 30fps? Wtf? There better be a 10 yr anniversary for halo 2.

[@BossPlayerGaming]

[@DontYouLookAtMe.]

Lol and then halo 4 was even more far away from the winning formula of halo than reach

[@adamgiardina3139]

+Kyle Thomas And we all thought it couldn't get worse than Reach

[@GruntyGunner]

+Adam Giardina Right? Like I actually went back and played the hell out of Reach because I didn't know what I had until it was gone.

[@sdog1234]

+Person. Honestly, I'd rather play No Bloom No Sprint Reach than Halo 4 any day. Halo 4 might have brought back the BR but it also took away a lot of awesome features. In game ranks(which even Reach had), military ranking rather than number ranking, being able to view party details (reach's was 10x better), also Halo Reach even had MLG events for 1 year. I'd say Reach was the Halo that did all of the small things the best, but obviously Halo 1 - 3 were the most competitive. I think Reach would've been the best Halo (competitively) if it had no bloom at the start, better competitive maps (grey forged maps are dull) and a 1-50 ranking system rather than the Arena.

[@GruntyGunner]

***** Halo 4's 1-130 ranks are not the competitive ranks everyone is talking about. It's just an arbitrary number you get after playing matches and getting XP. It doesn't even rank you based on your SR rank. The old Halo ranks could be gained or lost, and were difficult to increase. The game then matched people based on their skill rank. You can't even compare the 1-130 ranks to the 1-50 ranks because they aren't the same thing. Also you say that Reach did all the little things wrong, arguing against the other guy but you don't even say what was done wrong. As for Reach, I don't think you understand what arena is. Everyone has equal starts and equal opportunity to win while playing on symmetrical maps or asymmetrical maps that don't favor a single side. Halo 4 was not an arena game. Reach definitely is an arena game. And for that comment that Halo 1 is not competitive, that's just your opinion man. The pistol was the utility weapon, much like the BR was in 2-3. Everything was set on a timer, camo, overshield, weapons, etc and there was skill and strategy in the game. You are in the minority when you say Halo 1 isn't competitive.

[@sdog1234]

***** "Halo 4 had in-game ranking are you stupid? 1-130 ranks." Me? You think I'm stupid for not giving a fuck about the 1-130 ranks we finished after 3 months of playing the game? I was talking about ranks that matter, competitive ranks dipshit. That's why people called the CSR, "Can't see ranks", because you couldn't see it in game. "When you say "military ranking" you do realize the ranks in Halo Reach haven't been used since World War I right?" Why the fuck does that matter? I'd rather see a symbol and a name for my "exp" rank rather than a number, especially since the grind to top rank takes a while. Woohoo when I get to 152 in Halo 5 I'LL BE 152 HOLY SHIT. Inheritor/5 star General sounds 10x better. "Halo 1 wasn't competitive in the slightest unless you think having only 1 weapon to use is the most competitive." And this is how I know you do not know what the fuck you're talking about. Ask any pro, I need not say more. "Halo Reach's map's weren't even Arena based in the slightest" Did you never play MLG? Zealot and Countdown are pretty good, but like I've said before. Reach needed better maps. No one is disputing that fact. I'm actually surprised I've found someone who thinks Halo 1 wasn't competitive and that Halo 4 was better than Reach. Lol.

[@xMadaraxUchiha1]

Because back then it all came down to who had better aim, not who can spray their assault rifle with aim assist and get an incarceration cannon with a score streak

[@Novastar6]

Halo 1 was actually the best Halo but suffered because it didn't have Xbox Live. Halo 2 was a dumbed down version......ruined the best FPS of all-time and nobody even realizes it except for the best players.

[@dwildhockey24b]

Halo 2 revolutionized FPSs... It was the #1 most played online-multiplayer game on Xbox live from the time it came out in 2004 to the time Halo 3 was released in 2007. No disrespect to Halo CE, but to say Halo 2 ruined Halo is absolutely ignorant.

[@Novastar6]

touche fish.....Funny how people said the pistol was overpowered. The pistol actually took more skill. The reason people thought it was overpowered is because if you weren't good with it, you died. Everyone can run around with two machine guns in your hand and "spray and pray". How hard was it to use the plasma pistol/BR combo? That only took two shots. Halo 2 was DUMBED down for the majority of players.

[@Novastar6]

dwildhockey24b ........The melee sucked. The rockets sucked. The shotgun sucked. The powerups were almost useless. The sniper was easier to use and taking out the pistol was the final nail in the coffin. I had the privilege of playing large Halo CE LAN games in college. We got very competitive and played some of the best people in the state. Having someone who could just jump on Xbox live and play Halo 2 is not a fair comparison. We realized how good of a game it was. All the old professional players will tell you that Halo CE was the best of the series. Every weapon in Halo CE (besides the needler) was valuable in certain situations. It's simple business.......Halo 2 was dumbed down for the majority of players. Just because it was probably overall more popular doesn't make it a better game. Just means it was more user friendly. I played for the challenge and that same challenge was gone after Halo 1.

[@dwildhockey24b]

Novastar6 Oh boy, here we go... Novel incoming... My argument wasn't to take anything away from Halo CE, my argument was that Halo 2 did not ruin Halo. It actually did the complete opposite. In comparison to the mechanics of Halo CE, the mechanical flaws of Halo 2 were minimal. Halo CE's mechanics were much more choppy than Halo 2's. But, again, I'm not going to go there because trashing Halo CE is not my objective. Nor do I want to because I love Halo CE. 1) The melee in H2 did not suck. If you wanted to be considered good, you had to master BXB. BXB created a skill gap between good players and bad/average players. 2) The rockets did not suck unless you were playing in maps with vehicles. The lock-on ability did in some ways hurt game types with vehicles, but this didn't matter to better players because better players didn't play competitive Halo on maps with vehicles. 3) I'll give you that one. The shotgun sucked ass and I never used it because it was so shitty. It was bugged and didn't do any damage from point-blank range... which was comical. 4) The powerups were just fine. The overshield didn't last nearly as long as the OS in Halo CE, but wasn't weak by any means. Had OS lasted any longer in H2 it would have been way too OP in competitive game types. Invis wasn't nearly as strong as Halo CE's either, in that it was a lot easier to see players with invis in Halo 2 than Halo CE, but it still got the job done. The whole purpose of invis in H2, to competitive players, was to rid themselves of auto-lock. This ensured they'd land the first shot or two on opponents before their opponents were able to land any shots on them. 5) The sniper was easier to use, but still balanced well in competitive game types. 6) I was sad to see the Pistol leave too, but the BR ended up being a lot more balanced than the original pistol was. It also took a lot more skill, in my opinion, than the pistol did. RRX was another glitch that separated better players from worse players. Not to mention, you could just hold down right trigger and your pistol would shoot for you repeatedly in Halo CE, whereas you had to have a consistent trigger-smashing rhythm in H2. So I was okay with losing the pistol over time. No, it is not fair to compare H2's multiplayer with H1's multiplayer. I understand that and that's why I never compared the two in the first place. Again, I'm not trying to compare the two games. I'm trying to say H2 elevated the franchise and did not ruin Halo, like you had originally said. When I said, "It was the #1 most played online-multiplayer game on Xbox live from the time it came out in 2004 to the time Halo 3 was released in 2007." I meant just that and nothing more. The purpose of saying what I said was to inform you that H2 was the king of all FPS's from the time it came out to the time is was succeeded by Halo's next title in 2007. H2 also had a larger MLG following than any other FPS for those three years, which shows you that players loved the game and found the experience to be extremely competitive. Those two statistics alone prove that H2 did not "ruin Halo". I'm not convinced all the old professional players would say Halo CE is the best of the series. To be honest, I don't even know if they would all say H2 was their favorite game of the franchise because H3 was just as successful, if not more successful, than H2 and Halo CE. From an MLG standpoint and overall player-base standpoint. Dumbed down? How so? I could very easily argue it wasn't, what with H2 having BXR, BXB, RRX and so on... but that's a whole other argument (and I'm getting tired of typing ha). If you didn't get a challenge out of H2 I can only assume one of the following, 1) Your gamertag at the time was Walshy. Or, 2) You just didn't play competitively (enough, or against legitimately good players).

[@Novastar6]

dwildhockey24b.....see we both have two completely different definitions of "ruin". Your argument is completely correct. Halo 2 did wonders for the franchise (Well Mostly Xbox Live). Brittany Spears also sold a lot of records. Bungie didn't even realize what they had with Halo CE. Then they tried to "fix" it by ruining the gameplay. I never said you were comparing the two games btw. I was pointing out why Halo 2 "ruined" Halo. Although....I disagree with you saying that Halo was choppy. Halo CE's weapons system was 100x better. The melee was muuuuuuuuch smoother in Halo CE. And yes the rockets did suck. They were giant glowing fire balls that took 2 hours to hit their target. And don't get me started on incorporating dual wield. Halo 2 having a larger MLG following is rather obvious to explain. Halo 2 was on live. How much easier would it be to create more pro end talent on xbox live than sitting around with 8 other friends on LAN? That's how people got better faster....by playing better/more competition. You're not going to get better by playing the same friends over and over again. You don't think Halo CE would have been more popular on Xbox Live? You don't think people would have FINALLY realized how good of a multiplayer it actually had? Halo CE never had a chance........

[@ThumbsUpMike]

Snipedown at the end......truer words have never been spoken

[@Halo2LivesForever]

Literally the demand to play Halo 2 on Xbox Live would still be huge. The ONLY reason Halo 2 died out, is because people bought Halo 3 and thought it would be good. It wasn't, and people went back to Halo 2, until they were forced to shut the original xbox servers down. What a shame. They could make millions in profit by simply re releasing Halo 2 as a download for Xbox One Arcade and of course, supporting multi-player on Xbox Live.... (otherwise we would just use our Halo 2 discs)

[@luked1937]

lol, he was mad because those shots should have hit. The reticule was red, and over the enemies head (who was one shot). Yet he still missed because of bloom. Its ridiculous the a game that used to require quite a bit of skill added in a feature that randomized the outcome of battles. Randomness (i.e. potentially not hitting, or hitting, your shots based on what the game decides) is never good to add into a game that is meant to be played on a competitive level. Its good to mix things up, but not in a way that goes against the whole nature of the game. Reach was pretty good after V7 came out though.

[@NinteddyRose]

Bloom isn't randomness, it makes u time ur shots instead of just spamming repeatedly. Its good for competitive gameplay. Timing and aim

[@hardway4475]

Teddy Rose Bloom shouldn't be random, but it was in Reach. It was random because you weren't always punished for spamming. Sometimes your shots would still hit, which would punish the player trying to pace his shots like he's supposed to. THAT is why Reach's bloom was so bad.

im just sayin man, everyone here watching this is watching it because they are remembering how much fun we had with this game, and how for US, none of the other games can even come close to comparing. im sorry you came to the game late and im sorry you did not get to share our enjoyment and excitement we all got from halo 2. did you call me a kid? i havent been called that in an argument since.... YUP... halo 2 days! thanks again for reminding me how awesome those days were, i am now happier :)

[@TuFocused]

good to see some super old clips of halo 2 from back in the day! That was the shit!! I used to watch halo 2 MLG streams and videos on tv all the time from 2005-2007

[@pickrahn91]

Its on us to keep it alive. I love MLG and halo is the reason behind it. I will continue to show support. Reach is not H3 or 2 but its still a kick ass game and still maintains a level of competition other fps can only dream about.

[@reloadxplode3042]

1000th comment for the revive of halo. Halo will be top 5 game in the world again soon. When battle royale drops for it and new content starts to come, we will see another age

[@TheSquatchmen]

I dont know why, but it feels like this is some old tv show or reality tv show sometime in the 1990's with this EXACT camera quality, Wow time flies

[@crocodilenw7260]

I miss the old H3 days man i had literally every single event bought on my 360 and use to watch them before i would run mlg scrims and matches

[@simunator]

an average mlg session went through 2 boxes of cheerios i hear

[@alexnotevensemipro]

this is back in the days Halo2 i remember when me and my twin brother would just custom game offline then Halo3 we played online and destroyed because we got into it and we still play halo untill this very day

[@ColossalDave]

Liked just because of 4:29. I haven't seen that in 1st person since I saw it live

[@HAvOKn255andtoxic]

Love seeing these old vids.. Wish I wasn't saying OLD videos though..

[@FesojNagod]

HAHAAH sniedown at the end!!!! haaahah thats insane! :D

[@ghostsniper9090]

god damn this brings back so many great memories

[@iBishopEsquire]

this is so sick. So many nasty plays done by and against the best players in the game.

[@Chchchopstickss]

i miss this so much

[@vetobrz]

I have been playing the game 10 years. The H3 BR spread at a typical close-mid range works as I stated. At a longer distance it spreads more. As a result, the H3 BR was consistently inconsistent, vs bloom which is random at any range. H2 in general had arguably the most aim magnetism of any Halo game, but it worked very well. Burst fire weapons are not categorically inferior to single shot weapons, they just require different techniques. Sweeping for 1 shots is easier as you said.

[@mauriciom5555]

When Snipedown can't accept that Halo Reach is different jajajajaj

[@Antagonlst]

i have to say the halo reach clip really hammered the point home

[@vetobrz]

Some of the best plays / audience reactions of all time were singles.

[@ThirddOracle]

Right from launch there will be the Slayer Pro playlist (much like the Team Hardcore playlist in H2) where you'll play 4v4 without armor abilities, armor mods and radar, with only three preset loadouts which are BR, DMR or AR. On top of that the skill gap in this playlist is increased even further with the use of 10-15% speed increase on certain actions like reload and movement.

[@TsDviper2]

I love the halo reach clip at the end haha.

[@KSATica]

What a great time to live in those times H2 and H3 all day ….

[@GahanRaj]

Halo 3 - Walshy vs Final Boss, Str8 vs Carbon etc. etc. was the peak of MLG Halo man. Reach just killed it for me. Hope H4 can bring back the glory days!

[@A.V.Lucero]

Aw that ending... reach is my favorite one. Just because it's different it gets the hate.

[@jgrimmier]

I watched a video that Ninja (MLGpro) linked in his stream. It was an interview of the main guy in charge of matchmaking. One of the new abilities is being able to see through walls....Also, sprinting isnt even concidered an ability anymore. Everyone will be able to sprint off spawn, and have another ability in addition to it.

[@zhbvenkhoReload]

Halo 2 is the best game ever. Halo 3 as you said was more photogenic and I believe it created more tradition that Halo 2. Halo Reach in general has gotten in general.

[@kidcudimotm]

ahh man these were the absolute best days.... :/

[@oldboychano]

those moments are just as intense in every halo.

[@TheRaptorsClaw]

Lmao that last clip, so true, Reach is where it all went downhill, damn :(

[@Chhipz]

I miss the good ole days.

[@Heartwell_]

they were mainly the Sennheiser HD 555 great headphones, still have my pair. Just upgraded to a40s but still use them from time to time

[@sergiodedios9105]

I miss this

[@zMustheMadMan]

Hmm, seems to make sense. In fact, I DID always say that the change from Halo 3 to Halo Reach was sort of like the change between Super Smash Bros Melee to Brawl respectively, I just never really knew why that was. Now I do... Thanks for that.

[@unscarred444]

0:50 PURE OWNAGE

[@PureSinaatraa]

this was the days

[@lf0153]

sigh, the good ol' days

[@leon90ify]

the ending is awesome

[@TMDEdits]

The ending... perfect and so true.

[@Alex-rn6pg]

Button combos made it more fun

[@Heartwell_]

no problem! always glad to help! :)

[@FaliggetFTW]

Liked and favorited just for the end bit

[@GETxS0ME]

yeah i actually was, i used to play with neighbor, and honestly that's about it, but i played against and with at skirmishes 2v2's 4v4's against strongside, walshy, the ogres', karma, fonzi, t2. abusedgoat, idk a whole bunch, but after halo2 i stopped and they moved on, so it was rly fun and amazing playing with those guys knowing i coulda maybe, pssibly teamed up with one of those guys but i loved playing halo 2, best game ever made

[@Mad-Slick]

He was no shields and managed to get off the rocket and the BR finish.

[@Ninjarage93]

That video was so fun to watch... Then that bit at the end... :(

[@vetobrz]

You may be right, but for me, I almost choked on my drink when that happened on stream. Mainly because I loved the '09 Carbon squad that much.

[@KingSlasma]

This video is fucking awesome, great job
