MLG Halo 2 Action! | mrsmiley { August 24, 2004 }

Last weekend, Gruntsbane and I were invited to hang out at MLGPro's "Downpour" event. A write-up of the event from our end is coming soon, but until then, Dolbex just posted a 20 minute, hi-res video of me playing Halo 2 with the rest of the event "staff".

UPDATE: For those that are interested in details about the video, I just made a lenghty Q&A post at the HBO Forum!

You can find info on getting the video here. But before you do that, let me set a few things straight about the movie.

1. The teams were: The MLG Crew vs. Me, Gruntsbane, Miguel, Randall Glass, and my "tagalong friend," Jordan Davis.

2. Every time you see me with the plasma sword, I die. Why? I got mixed up with the controls, and kept thinking that the right trigger was the primary attack. In reality, the melee button does this task, and I was actually doing the lunge attack over and over! So I pretty much get creamed with the sword. Ouch.

3. My character in the game was "Ralfia", while Gruntsbane's was "Guest".

Other than those clarifications, be sure to go check out the video for yourself!

That video was fantastic! Thank you so much for getting that out there =) ... Noticed you used the Dual-wield alot, seem better than using the Battle Rifle?

I can't believe you got to play for that long. It is a great video, really lets us get a feel for how multiplayer is going to be. I like being able to see some of the things people have been talking about like the Sniper Rifle recoil and the dual weilding. I am so jealous!

Actually Frankie and Sketch gave up their spots for Miguel and one of the MLG guys. I think they've played enough anyway ;)
