In Response To: Re: Halo Nationals... (Elan Sleazbagano)

: I don't think thats true at all. If a team has half way decent combat skill
: AND good communication (strategy) they should win it. Killing doesnt
: matter in CTF, knowing when to kill someone, who to kill, and so on, is
: what wins it.

Well, from the synopsis of the Bungie vs Finalists match, it didn't sound like the Finalists were using much in the way of tactics. Besides, tactics aren't worth shit if you can't accomplish the goal. You can know when and who to kill, but you have to be able to kill them or it doesn't really matter. To me, the Finalists sound like Halo zombies. I'm not saying that's bad, it obviously works. The fact that it works so well is what bothers me. Even in the early rounds it was evident that that type of player would win the tournament. Especially because of the chosen gametypes. That kind of play is boring to me. Innovative tactics and taking advantage of the traits of a map make it much more interesting.

Tactics are actually more important in single player (at least on higher difficulties). The reason is that you actually have to worry about dying.
