The Future?

Hopefully we can confirm the grand finals for this weekend, after LAN there will be a new way we run tournaments that will be a lot more interesting and promoted differently. We will no longer run leagues and cups will be an entire new format.
These will include events more towards show matches and EU Amateur power rankings and title fights.
I did lie a little, there will be a FFA EU league ( 32 player's ) to be planed in a crazy fun format that will get rid of the reliance on teams and team related drama.
Part of new things for going forward. We will be looking to finally open up and expand EuropaHalo as a network of EU Halo players + contributors. We require Streamer/Casting talent, Graphics contributors, Admins, Video content producers, Blog/Article writers. DM if interested
This will include weekly podcasts and won't be run by me but by the network. A second EuropaHalo twitch/YouTube channel will be made for our new casting teams to stream games. This is open to all EU to join and create a proper central hub for EU Halo

ADS In Halo? - The Results

Poll - https://www.strawpoll.me/16151586

Jordan Wharton

Halo 5 style aiming is a great mix of ADS and zoom. Smart scope works well and certainly should continue into the future of Halo. Going backwards to something like Halo 3 would be awful.

Halo Infinite News

I left my vote but here is my thoughts. Some weapons like the AR change the game so much from Classic Halo when you add Aim Down Sights. I wouldn't mind a ADS style animation on things like the BR and Snipe scopes just so it looks cooler. Idk how others would feel
