GT = HC Superstar BR Aka Me

2

YES and YES .

As much as i would love to get Halo 4 for free i don’t even think i still know people that are into Halo enough to win a tournament they’ve all converted to CoD and Battlefield

Why have a competitive 4v4 tourney for Halo with bloom? As far as im concerned, 4v4 Halo settings work best with NBNS that is what most competitive Reach players play nowadays. I probably would enter the tourney, but I dont want to play with bad Reach settings. GL on getting teams though.

5

Hmm…assemble God squad and practice that map until the tourney and walk away with Halo 4 for free?

Nah, not with bloom and AA’s.

I gotta say, no word of a lie, I was gonna do this, until I read about 100% bloom and AA’s. No free game is worth having to play those terrible settings again.

We will be using the TU settings, not 100% bloom.

Superstar is correct. The tournament gametype will have 85% bloom, and the only AA is Sprint. Sorry this isn’t an MLG tournament, we can’t appease everyone :slight_smile:

Truth is, most players prefer TU settings. Sure, there is certainly a crowd for NBNS (MLG style), and there certainly is a crowd for 100% bloom (vanilla Reach). Please understand that just because it may not be your preferred gametype does not make it a bad gametype (or tournament, for the matter.)

On that note, all players (MLG, TU, or Vanilla) are welcomed to participate in the TU tournament. After all, it is for fun!

May I also re-iterate that this is not a signup thread, all of the signups are handled on our site, and requires you to actually signup. This thread was created to raise awareness… and no, we can’t simply give you the prizes, no matter how nicely you ask :slight_smile:
