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

The million dollar payout is not actually a "winner-take-all" award, but rather represents the combined total prize money of the Halo 3 portion of the games. 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?

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?
