major league gamers?

[DmonSlyr]

my friend plays halo3 and is hooked up to the major league gamers circuit. he told me that he and his team (squad) could join a tournament sponsered by MLG and could win up to 40 grand a piece. they have these tournaments for a bunch of different games.

i was wondering why aceshigh is not in it. it might be a better way to promote the game. but that would be cool for a online game like this for a person to be able to win some money based on your flying skills as a team.

i dont really know much about it. but my friend told me that people make a living winning tournaments playing this game.

just a thought it would be cool if your squad could join a tournament and that squad wins some money.

what do yall think?

Love the idea..

[Captfish]

Anything is better when your winning money

Would never work... the attitude of Aces High players is completely different from those who play FPS's.

[texasmom]

Effort due to a love of money seems a far stretch from effort due to a love of the game.

I have a better idea.  Everyone just send me 5 bucks.....thank you

Instead of money they should be awarded life membership at http://www.funbrain.com/spell/

Won't ever work with AH as they don't have enough subscribers (at the moment) to facilitate the Global interest to offer that kind of prizemoney...

also AH2 is not as "fast paced" as these FPS Games.

[weazely]

I am apart of MLG....or atleast their online cercuit "Game Battles" and most of the games at MLG events are very fast paced AH2 isnt that fast pace....unless its FFA then it is.

The people you hear screaming is the communication between the team mates.....

enjoy

Anyone that has played FPS's competively at LANs or in online leagues knows this is very true.  The mentality of the community isn't the type.  I played FPS games in online leagues for years and was a CAL admin for a few (www.caleague.com).

sounds cool, but in the long run it would serve no other purpose than to take the fun out of the game

[Ack-Ack]

Don't mean to sound harsh but it's a rather stupid idea.  You haven't been around long enough to remember how the game was 5+ years ago, when the game play was actually really good.  You could find good fights, squadrons would regularly rotate to help even out the sides and the skies were full of good sticks.

The day this appeared on the AH main page is the day the game play started to go down the tubes.

I do not care if they ever offer cash prizes.  I am a late comer to this game but I am so glad I found it.  I think if they do offer cash prizes people will get really excited about HO's and the like.  It will take all the fun out of the game.  IMHO.
