Makes my 2000 Wii points for SSBB look like nothing 
But, there is a $475 entry fee.

The crowned Xbox Halo 3 World Champion (the CPL's official title for "first place") receives an instant $250,000 cash payout for his/her time -- the other $750,000 gets divvied up in various ways between the next 64 people in line. |
Not bad for a hard days work. Anyone here good enough to win?

There will no doubt be a whole army of people who exploit every little thing they can to cheaply win. -_-' |

I agree with the above post. No offense, but I'm not exactly insane about Halo. |

That's because you don't have 360s. I wouldn't enter it even if I had the money to spare, I'd never win since I play more TF2 than Halo. |

Well, I don't have a 360, but I agree that Halo 3 is a great game. The graphics are decent for a Microsoft product, (I've seen better...I'm talking about you, grass on High Ground!) but the gameplay is nearly flawless and highly addictive. It keeps a consistant amount of excitement I haven't felt since I first played Super Smash Bros Melee, and even moreso since I couldn't see everything on the screen at once, adding to the excitement when I newbed it up and got sniped while trying to kill people with a Battle Rifle (though my 6 kill record mostly came from beatdowns...yeah, I suckz)
However, I do have to agree that Halo 3, as well as Super Smash Bros Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, and every other highly-anticipated game, are overrated. That's not saying that I don't adore them, it's just that they never live up to internet hype. It's a curse that is put on all "BEST GAME EVUR NUBS! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!" games.
Back on topic, I'd be insane to put in $425 just to play a game I get pwned at every other day. Plus, I find an entry price costing more than a 360 (yet less than a PS3...hm...) just outrageous, even if the final payoff is sky high. I don't think they have to pay that much to get on Survivor...er...what season is it again? Why would I pay more? Plus, Survivor gives more people more entertainment. |

Incorrect. I have a 360. And yes, I have played Halo long enough to make that decision. To me, it's just another shooter game. |

I can tell you never played it.
it is ovverated, but it is infact a GREAT game. espiecially online. and I bet you dont got enough coins in your pocket to AFFORD online, so you cant get the true frosting from Halo 3. |

The overrating lies in Francis' post.. 1 million dollar in prize money.
Our SSBM tournament's first prize was this.
Yes, exactly what you see in that image. Nothing more. |

Maybe Halo will become the next "World Series of Poker" and we start to see it covered by ESPN? |
