Woah…hearing the story about him replacing Ola is really surprising. I didn’t realize that’s how they went about it

@@TennisGvy Formal isn't outspoken or is going to emphasize anything to badmouth Ola. But he was given the choice and specifically said he thought the team is better with APG. I'm sure he put a lot of thought into that months before the choice.

I don’t see it as putting little thought into this move. I’m not so sure that every team change is handled this way but think about it, if you are bringing someone in and haven’t really determined who is the best option to drop I’d say the opinion of the person you are picking up should be considered heavily. I think all parties involved put more thought and consideration than what it seems on our end and in comparison to how it was communicated.

I am a firm believer that the Halo 2 montage scene set the stage for what video game content has become today. It is quite literally the forefront of gaming content and the montages were the hottest thing at the time. Then COD came out, and I also played that and watched the VERY early COD montages which obviously took the montage content to a whole new level from like 2007-2011. I still wish I had my old family computer that had every single h2f montage downloaded onto it. That era generated some of my fondest memories with my friends as an early-era online console gamer. My buddies and I would have sleepovers and try to get enough decent clips to create a one-night dualtage good enough for Z to approve (we all know how stressful that was). What a time to be alive, you had to be a part of it to understand that H2 was the peak of online gaming.

I think it's interesting hearing formal talk about halo 2. I totally agree, the ranking system used to require such work, and the numbers and symbols were really cool making it rewarding. When I think about it I feel like the clan matches and bungie leaderboards helped create the environment back then also. I don't know why they decided to remove all those awesome features and make the entire process as boring as possible. I feel like those features are what made halo 2 the type of game you could literally play every day and it never got old.

@@ElitheSensei yeah, maybe it’s just me but I feel like it made the environment really competitive and fun and it feels like that’s missing from modern halo. I feel like everybody knew the people at the top of the leaderboards back then. But you’re right, it seems to be an industry trend as a whole and I just don’t understand cause it was so many good memories for me personally.

Keep the content going this podcast is what the halo community needs. I'd like to hear from pistola as well if yall could get ahold of him

Ahh the Halo 2 ranks. Love it. Getting 50 in Halo 3 and not playing the mode anymore to keep the General was OD as well. H2 and H3 ranking was toughhhh.

I've been begging for them to just put the h3 ranks in (with h2 symbols). Also i wouldnt mind if they had a champ rank above 50.

As a casual, the sandbox is what makes halo different and exciting. Just speaking from my personal perspective of course.

Man we all miss montages don’t we, I know I’ve never had any of mine do well but I’m pretty bad so that makes sense, this was a fun episode, goats all around

Got to love it, 3 goats sitting down swapping stories. Doesn't get much better

They just need to make a dedicated HCS playlist that way ranked area can have way more variety

Doubt there's enough population for both. They can just add variety to ranked anyway. Comp can play customs.

If there was a real montage contest that had the support and backing of the pro scene, you'd probably see more Infinite montages. Also who owns the Ambush brand now?

The best of all time

did you say sHyRe was on his first team? he was one of my best friends in halo 2 and the only player that got me in pro games.

9:00 it’s surprising that even formal had to message pros to 1v1 to get noticed. Renegade talked about the hardest part of being a pro is networking and convincing people you’re good.

Separating Ranked and HCS is the go. Work with the pros to give them the balance and sandbox they want for HCS. Keep the variety in Ranked.
