Admittedly, it would be a nightmare switching between MCC and H5. But I think that variety could be interesting. It might introduce more competition between the young guns, and the “old” guys. Different strategies for different games. Even same game types from the different games have different mechanics and strategy. Actually, I’ll stand by that. I want a mix.  BrianMakesGames  This might steer us further from the topic but I think there's something there in terms of an"ultimate master chief tournament" inside of just MCC. I'd watch the hell out of it. But it would have to be a one time kind of tournament. And NightFoxx is right--it's off-putting for anyone that hasn't been closely following Halo for 10+ years. I don't believe that the issue with HCS is the game. Halo 5 is a great competitive shooter with good eSports infrastructure (observer mode). Not having an observer mode greatly increases production costs while simultaneously making the broadcast worse. Moving backward to any game other than Halo 5 as the primary focus, would be a mistake to me.  With that being said though, I think it would be a great idea to run a smaller, parallel Halo 3 doubles or 4v4 league. I look at the competitive fighting game scene and their competitions have a whole lineup of games where people compete in multiple titles with no issues--so why not Halo? And this possibly could be what they're testing with the $10k doubles Halo 3 tourney at DreamHack.  I think by continuing to support the Halo 5 competitive scene with new maps and gametypes entering the rotation, the scene can sustain itself well enough until Halo Infinite. The game as it stands right now, is the most interesting its been since launch with new maps, oddball, and no spartan abilities. It's what the scene essentially wanted at launch, so why switch away now that we have what we asked for?  NightFox  Agrees with BrianMakesGames  GoalieSniper  I think the future season of HCS all hinges on how well this halo 3 2v2 tournament goes. I think as long as they broadcast it properly. And give it equal attention at dreamhack it’s going to bring in tons of people. So. I think if it does better than the h5 tournament. Next season will be a “throwback” season to halo 3. For a few reasons. 1. It’s what the pro scene wants. 2. With MCC getting that update. They’ll want to try and bring as many people back as they can. And having the pro scene playing on that tittle will bring people back. I know it’s the people who will already be watching regardless that want h3. But I do think it will bring in a lot of curious people to watch the stream. Because EVERYONE has either played or knows about halo 3. So you’ll have tons of curious people coming to check it out. Hearing about an h3 pro league going. Oh cool. Let’s check that out. Then maybe saying “oh man I’m going to go play some MCC.” I think it would just be a waste to have spent all that time fixing MCC to not have it be in the spotlight again. It’s what 343 wants. And what the pros want. So why not make it happen.  Stephen  What about Halo 2 Classic?????  Tobi  Id like to See a cross-halo tourney. With every game tbh  Jacob Harper  Not sure if it would be possible but Halo 2 &amp; 3 4v4 events. Both most popular on MCC and would get the most players possible competing before hopefully a release of a new classic Halo game.  LLCoolJua  I would LOVE for it to be H2A or H3, but I can't imagine them straying from H5. HCS needs to continue to move forward, if it continually looks backward there won't be any growth.  Mark Francis  Stay with Halo 5 and for god sakes, bring the HCS league play back, with casting. Keep switching out maps and game types every season to keep it interesting. I love H5!  Search  They are more then likely gonna run h5. But I agree. A fixed h2a has all the makings of a good pre infinite season.  LexiXen  I think H2A is by far the best choice in terms of satisfying players/audiences with something 'new' without it being too old. H2A could still have new maps, gamemodes, cosmetics, etc added onto it since it is such a small offering at the moment, while still having the feel of classic Halo that so many want. It also LOOKS much better to a new audience than as old a game as Halo 3 when you're putting it at the forefront of Halo Esports for a good year or two. While Halo 3 is definitely the OG, you won't bring in new spectators with it imo  Cesar  H2A or H3 would be awesome but there's no way they are leaving H5  Moses FPS  They might as well save their money and not run tourneys if they go with h2a/h5. Those games have zero hype  Mahmood  Would love to see an h2c throw back tourney. Even if it's ffa. I will literally come in 8th in an h2c ffa and still have so much damn fun playing.  Dizzel  H2A could work if they add new maps and fix it for 2 shot beat down  Logics  Halo 3 would be a foolish move IMO. A lot of us arent onboard with it. What should've happened was year 3 of H5 should've done like no sprint no abilities nerfed h2br starts or SOMETHING. And then the end of year 3 should be a new Halo game. I would play H2C but not H3 or h2a  Tagernako  Disagree moses, h2a is good enough but h2 and h3 would be best. Agree h5 wouldnt generate much   Our Thoughts  Shoutouts  Everyone who took the time to vote and comment on the most recent poll.

Hello and welcome to episode 36 of HCS Pro Talk! This week, we bring you the latest rosters, news, scrims, and tournament recaps per usual. We also go over the results of our most recent poll of what you would like to see for upcoming HCS seasons up to Halo Infinite's release. The big topic of this weeks show is that of the Pro Battle League. What originally appeared as some fishy views and follows within a stream, turned into something far worse.

Therefore, we have gotten support from our friends at LindaX to make sure that the prize pool will be no less than $25K. That means that if Battle7oken goes up in value, the prize pool could be more. However, it can’t dip below $25K. North American Champion - 50,000 Battle7oken/ minimum =$12,500 North American 2nd Place - 14,000 Battle7oken/ minimum =$3,500 North American 3rd Place - 7,000 Battle7oken/ minimum =$1,750 Conference Champion - 6,000 Battle7oken/ minimum =$ 1,500 Conference 2nd Place - 1,250 Battle7oken/ minimum =$313    Scrim Recap  Monday, August 13th  Radiant Esports VS MockIt Esports  Series Score - 12-3 - Radiant Stats - http://halodatahive.com/Scrim/Summary/10891  TOX VS Reciprocity  Series Score - 8-6 - TOX Stats - http://halodatahive.com/Scrim/Summary/10892  Reciprocity had 45 more kills Reciprocity had 74 more assists Reciprocity had 39 less deaths Reciprocity had 7 more power kills Reciprocity had 66 more precision kills Reciprocity had 46 more magnum kills    Tuesday, August 14th  Lucid VS Radiant Esports  Series Score - 5-1 - Lucid Stats - http://halodatahive.com/Scrim/Summary/10893   Wednesday, August 15th  Elevate VS Trifecta  Series Score - 8-7 - Elevate Stats - http://halodatahive.com/Scrim/Summary/10894  Renegades VS Trifecta  Series Score - 9-5 - Renegades Stats - http://halodatahive.com/Scrim/Summary/10895  Reciprocity VS Elevate  Series Score - 9-3 - Reciprocity Stats - http://halodatahive.com/Scrim/Summary/10896   Thursday, August 16th  MKAC VS Radiant Esports  Series Score - 7-4 - MKAC Stats - http://halodatahive.com/Scrim/Summary/10898   Friday, August 17th  TOX VS Reciprocity  Series Score - 10-5 - TOX Stats - http://halodatahive.com/Scrim/Summary/10897  Reciprocity had 3 more kills Reciprocity had 26 more assists TOX had 7 less deaths TOX had 9 more power kills Reciprocity had 43 more precision kills Reciprocity had 25 more magnum kills   TOX VS Elevate  Series Score - 11-4 - TOX Stats - http://halodatahive.com/Scrim/Summary/10899    Tournament Recap  Next Level Expo/Midwest Esports Tournament Results  1st Place  Final Shot  Legion Bloodshot   2nd Place  Tragedy  Cerebral Nemesis   3rd Place  T&amp;T  4th Place  W&amp;F  Bracket - https://challonge.com/NLXhalo32v2  Pro Battle League Pre-Season  New York Titans Challenge Match - Qvesos VS RobTheTurtle  4-1 - RobTheTurtle   Pro Battle League Season 3 Week 1 Results  Nashville Outlaws VS Kansas City Lightning  Game 1 - Slayer on The Rig  Will have this information for next week  Game 2 - CTF on Truth  Will have this information for next week  Game 3 - Strongholds on Empire  Will have this information for next week   Atlanta Zenith VS DMV Outlaws  Game 1 - Slayer on The Rig  50-44 - Atlanta  Game 2 - CTF on Truth  3-0 - Atlanta  Game 3 - Strongholds on Empire  100-34 - Atlanta   Detroit Overdrive VS Chicago United  Game 1 - Slayer on The Rig  50-31 - Detroit  Game 2 - CTF on Truth  3-0 - Detroit  Game 3 - Strongholds on Empire  100-15 - Chicago  Game 4 - Oddball on Eden  150-60 - Chicago  Tails with 0 kills and 114 Oddball Time   Game 5 - Slayer on Coliseum  50-32 - Detroit   Los Angeles Legion VS Anaheim Pirates  Game 1 - Slayer on The Rig  50-35 - LA  Game 2 - CTF on Truth  3-2 - LA  Game 3 - Strongholds on Empire  100-66 - LA    Halo Wars 2 Breaking The Clutch 1v1 Tournament Results  1st Place  Mike Beaston  2nd Place  Admiration  3rd Place  LargoPancake40  4th Place  Yodesla  Bracket - https://hwcl-season-2-btc.challonge.com/HWCL_August_Open  LATAM Gamebattles 2K Tournament Recap  1st Place  Mini Team  $350 2000 Points   2nd Place  Tecnology  $150 1200 Points   3rd/4th  Tu Mama Fue Mia Spoectral Gaming  800 Points   5th/6th/7th/8th  Nexus?

But admittedly, I only played H3 and H5 online. In that case, you asked for a why. H3 brings with it all the feelings and nostalgia of my first online experience that had a competitive scene with it in MLG. I never play H2 online so this was the first time for me that there seemed a real possibility to play for money. Whether or not I ever reached that level of play, the fact that there was an opportunity was a big deal. I would still like to play H3. I wouldn’t say 99% nostalgia for me. But it did play a big part in my life for a couple years. I sort of had a “relationship” with H3 if you want to call it that. Maybe like 60%-80% nostalgia for me.  Goalie Sniper  H3 for me. It was my first online game. (First game I ever played online I got MVP!!!). It was the game that I convinced all my friends to get xbox360’s for. The amount of custom games I played with friends was insane. It was a routine with my friend group. Get home from school. Play halo 3 all night. Laugh our asses off have a great time. Go to school the next day and laugh about the stuff that happened the night before. It was easy for anybody to pick up and have fun. But hard to become really good at it. So it’s 99% nostalgia why I love that game so much.  Jonathan (DaddyTrax)  Halo 2. Fast paced and the best maps.  Sander  Halo 3, remember that I liked it more then going to a bar on a friday night, so addictive and fun.  Salty1  H2 365 24/7  Halo Infinite News  Halo 3 for me. I am sure there are some people out there who legitimately think Halo 2 is better. However I feel like some people say that because they want to seem cool/different/ old school, or maybe don't remember the game as it really was.  Mark Francis &amp; Alex Sauer  My favorite Halo of all time is Halo 5 because of the new Spartan Abilities, and Overall Online experience. I feel like this is the most competitive Halo yet. Due to the abilities, I feel like you can be more skillful at Halo 5. They give the game more depth. Halo CE is my # 2.  Alex Sauer - Agreed   Just Simon  Who doesn't agree about H2 ? all the H3 kids ... everybody knows that H2 was the best Halo . all the glitches combos ( BXR , BXB, RRXYYRRX, Supernades , double nades , etc ) name them. Even for the casual players with their hyper bounces. *Sid was here* Mc donald emblem , writing  TJ Campbell Grunt 4500  I loved H4’s MP, it includes some of my most fond memories and I always have a fun time playing it. So yea, you could say I said Halo 4, even Halo 5.  Joshua Gutierrez  Waay too many fucking memories with Halo 3. It was my first game that I beat in one night, I played countless matches of Rumble Pit and FFA, not to mention the endless hours spent with my siblings in custom games. Halo 3 is the best game ever.  Dust Storm  I'd have to say H2 only because there are some critical things missing from H5. HE had something for everyone and still fostered that LAN party environment, which you just can't get most of the time these days. Weapons feel great, BTB maps are awesome, and the genesis of customs.  JJCoolJua  I picked Halo 2, 100% for the nostalgia factor. Halo 2 was the game I played with my dorm mates in college. Spending hours doing custom games, or learning how to super jump, or escaping maps.

If they can give it the narrative and character flair of Halo 4 while retaining the set piece moments they want to draw from the original trilogy, it'll easily be the best Halo game  TheOnlyN33b - @TheOnlyN33b  I haven't actually played H5 yet, but I think it's very important they are confident in their story.  Sometimes I feel like companies can have a very hard time with taking control and doing what they want. TLJ isn't my favorite, but it is clearly the movie they wanted to make.  Halo Infinite NEws - @HaloInfiniteOrg  Go back to basics. A game without sprint, abilities, aim down sights and advanced movement. BR starts in competitive. A good selection of small maps, a couple remakes too. A ranking system that works. Strong support for eSports including big prizes and frequent events  Mark “CattyMusician” - @MLGMark  Would love an open world story. Would love military ranks with an exp based progression system. Also a 1-50 true skill ranking system. Plus a halo reach credit system to buy armor. Also have unlockable armor that doesn’t look like a potato  Sander - @Sander_vs  New (and good) MP maps until the next Halo game after Infinite. Playable on PC. Both classic and advanced MP game modes + maps designed for both types.  Str8 Nirvana - @Str8Nirvana  Halo 3 clone but with Firefight, updated Forge and PvP Ai practice bots (Like Gears/CoD has). Would also be nice if those /Well liked and unintrusive/ Req packs went away for an actual progression system.  Abe - @GTy_R4wk_One  NO sprint, NO hit markers. More than 9 maps in competitive.  Christian - @Stadlerchris17  No spartan abilities, at all. Classic art style and music, halo 1 esc. Campaign, different viewpoints in the story(arbiter, sgt johnson pre-death, random marine or spartan 4), that’s about it tbh. Just make it like bungie used to and it’ll be amazing.  Jonathan (DaddyTrax) - @jpskoczalek  I’d really like to see the Spartan Company feature expanded. Here are some ideas: 1. Matchmaking within the Spartan Company HUB.  Ranks can be given for a 4v4 Spartan Company Playlist and an 8v8 Playlist. Each Spartan member in the company shares the same rank as everyone else in the Spartan Company.  I’m going for the Halo 2 clan system here for reference. 2. This might be a little hard to follow but if I managed to explain it correctly I think you’ll see the tremendous value this could bring to Halo multiplayer.

@LexiXen</li> <ul> <li>343 having the confidence to tell the story they want to tell. If they can give it the narrative and character flair of Halo 4 while retaining the set piece moments they want to draw from the original trilogy, it'll easily be the best Halo game</li> </ul> <li>TheOnlyN33b - @TheOnlyN33b</li> <ul> <li>I haven't actually played H5 yet, but I think it's very important they are confident in their story.  Sometimes I feel like companies can have a very hard time with taking control and doing what they want. TLJ isn't my favorite, but it is clearly the movie they wanted to make.</li> </ul> <li>Halo Infinite NEws - @HaloInfiniteOrg</li> <ul> <li>Go back to basics. A game without sprint, abilities, aim down sights and advanced movement. BR starts in competitive. A good selection of small maps, a couple remakes too. A ranking system that works. Strong support for eSports including big prizes and frequent events</li> </ul> <li>Mark “CattyMusician” - @MLGMark</li> <ul> <li>Would love an open world story. Would love military ranks with an exp based progression system. Also a 1-50 true skill ranking system. Plus a halo reach credit system to buy armor. Also have unlockable armor that doesn’t look like a potato</li> </ul> <li>Sander - @Sander_vs</li> <ul> <li>New (and good) MP maps until the next Halo game after Infinite. Playable on PC. Both classic and advanced MP game modes + maps designed for both types.</li> </ul> <li>Str8 Nirvana - @Str8Nirvana</li> <ul> <li>Halo 3 clone but with Firefight, updated Forge and PvP Ai practice bots (Like Gears/CoD has). Would also be nice if those /Well liked and unintrusive/ Req packs went away for an actual progression system.</li> </ul> <li>Abe - @GTy_R4wk_One</li> <ul> <li>NO sprint, NO hit markers. More than 9 maps in competitive.</li> </ul> <li>Christian - @Stadlerchris17</li> <ul> <li>No spartan abilities, at all. Classic art style and music, halo 1 esc. Campaign, different viewpoints in the story(arbiter, sgt johnson pre-death, random marine or spartan 4), that’s about it tbh. Just make it like bungie used to and it’ll be amazing.</li> </ul> <li>Jonathan (DaddyTrax) - @jpskoczalek</li> <ul> <li>I’d really like to see the Spartan Company feature expanded. Here are some ideas:</li> <li>1. Matchmaking within the Spartan Company HUB.  Ranks can be given for a 4v4 Spartan Company Playlist and an 8v8 Playlist. Each Spartan member in the company shares the same rank as everyone else in the Spartan Company.  I’m going for the Halo 2 clan system here for reference.</li> <li>2. This might be a little hard to follow but if I managed to explain it correctly I think you’ll see the tremendous value this could bring to Halo multiplayer. (For reference, see NHL 16 EASCHL playoffs <a href="https://youtu.be/5gSy088JEkA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/5gSy088JEkA</a></li></ul></ul></ul>
