Anyone think we should get some throwback games going at events? Perhaps we could corner off a section and run Halo 2 or Halo 3 games or something? Anyone up for it?

The idea is always thrown around but it never happens. I wish there was halo 2 again.

Saratoga Springs is prolly one of the nicest places I have ever been too. The houses in the town are amazing (I love the old style) I already like you :D

I thought they were doing something like that. It wouldn't be that hard either. Just set up 2 big TVs and 2 xbox and play h1/h2 on it. would take about 5 sq meters of the venue max.

it would be cool, but it would be hard to get enough equipment and space to run tournaments in more games than they have. i don't see why they can't have like 1 or 2 stations for h1 or h2 just for fun.

I think a big problem with H2 is that you cant get the XBL updates so its all pre patch and plays completely different that what we remember from the last years of H2, I know thats why MLG doesn't ever do throwback stuff for it

if that happened, then walshy would actual be on fire at events again, and ogre 2 would still be ogre 2 when it comes to reach, 3, 2, and 1, why cant that be for walshy and strongside also? if walshy and strongside were still beasts at halo 3 then the dynasty still would've continued =[

they did this in raleigh. after the event they broke out halo 1 and 2 disks

i got to play on the main stage (halo 1) and i teamed with shockwave, puckett, and shibby
it was so epic lol

it doesn't make sense that they wouldnt do something like this... maybe like a five dollar entry fee just for lol's just a small pot to compete for or no money at all that works too

Just for fun, yeah but they can't afford to use up much space on games that won't generate much revenue. So maybe like a station with a couple of xboxes playing some classic games would be ok, kind of like they do at the Dr. Pepper station.

Yeah that's what I mean. I think it'd be like packed with people if they actually did it

If people were to bring their disks, I could allow this at the LANs in my hotel room. Also, everyone is invited to those. Will be doing one every event.

It would be sweet if they did this. But like was said it couldn't be more then a handful of xbox's set up for it, either way it would be cool to mess around for a bit on some throwback games.

yeah, like when i posted, i was thinking like 4 xbox's and we could just run 2v2 games or 4v4 splitscreen...

Can we just have an arm wrestling tournament instead?

Now KRILLIN you know that an arm wrestling contest would just be unfair towards most. Not to mention damage those precious hands everyone needs. lolz.

P.S. Nice stacked team for the tournament KRILLIN. haha can't wait to go up against them.

no. i want to have use of my limbs after Dallas. You would be counter-productive towards that goal.
