When Formal talks about Halo 2 online being a special time he’s not lying. If you lived through that period, you know. If you were online back then you felt like a pioneer, it was insane to be in your room playing with up to 15 other random people. I can’t put it into words that do it justice, I’m just glad I got to experience it.
It honestly made me sad when he was talking about it. I played mcc few months ago on CTF Zanzibar and it brought me back to when I was a teenager playing with my classmates. Greed has ruined video games
Xbox party and online multiplayer took gaming to another level. I remember getting the xbox one and everyone went ps4 my friends list never recovered 😂
"Greed has ruined video games" It's actually disgusting how money, some made up shit that our lives depend on, ruins everything when people get too much of it@@FatJesus123456789
You didn’t get banned in 2004 for trash talking in lobbies. Nowadays u go to prison.
I loved infection lobbies. Manually swapping teams was the best
This was very well made, what an honor to get FormaL on this series!
It’s a little to serious for a video game lol
@@Filthyheartzi feel you but they're pretty passionate about it
Random FormaL story:
During the Halo Reach days I played with a lot of pros pretty regularly. One night, around 2AM, my buddy and I are in an XBL party enjoying some matchmaking. Out of nowhere, FormaL joins the chat (he was on my friends list, but I haven't played too much with him). He proceeded to just stay in our party chat, uninvited, for hours while he watched Blade II. Looking back, I have no idea why any of this happened but it indeed did lol met him later that year in Raleigh at an MLG event. Solid dude for sure, happy to see his success.
Absolutely based Formal
This reads like a copypasta, but I feel like if you were to ask him if he remembers watching Blade II on his Xbox and he probably would LMFAO
@-.-6900 no copypasta my friend haha this is a true story, 100%. Feels like a lifetime ago at this point...
That's a W community moment. Console gaming was amazing for this back in the day. Could just join up with anyone and just chill and have a great time without even giving it a 2nd thought
He wants friends and to feel apart of something. You can tell from the story of him messaging apg to get to know him.
Formal is an esports god.
This was so damn good. Formal is definitely on the Mount Rushmore of FPS pros
Bro what crimsix is way better!!!
Cod specifically sure. Multi fps champ. Formal
I would say ogre2 is the greatest fps console player. But yeah Formal is right there too. 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
The Deon Sanders, the Bo Jackson.... a multi sport champion.
@davidcano8158 not even
Out of all the times in history I could have been alive, I am so happy i get to watch Formal play video games.
still haven't found an online experience like playing halo 2 for the first time
Infinite could be that.
But instead, they focus on trying to recreate Reach & 4 because the non-competitive community thinks Halo wasn't popular until Reach came out and removed ranked playlists.
Lol dude you're 30 not 13, that's the issue.
Rainbow six 3 cleared, but halo 2 was top 2
@@guillermoazuara8088`you're not wrong 😶
Formal is goated. He found his passion and calling and just ran with it with full confidence and without hesitation. He is certified and cemented already
facts
The way he articulated being around for the Halo 2 days is so well put and concise, also it's exactly how everyone feels about that game who experienced it.
When Halo 2 was out, it was a phenomenon, literally. It was the biggest FPS game at the time and everyone I knew played it. It was near the beginning of Xbox Live and the game itself revolutionized online gaming in terms of party chat, messaging, friends lists and severs other features. I would play it from 3pm until bedtime every single day. Playing with people from all over the world who were also addicted to the game. It was the peak of FPS gaming. If you played it when it was out, you know exactly what I’m talking about
I honestly think formal could’ve gone pro in overwatch as well. After worlds last year he was grinding on stream and hit top grandmaster in ranked with soujourn. Honestly his adaptability makes him fps goat
10:40 mark and on got my emotional. I think anyone who was able to experience gaming from the early 2000's through the early 2010's has a shared experience with how much Halo means to us
Could you imagine how many more tournament wins FormaL would have if he didn’t hit a security guard with a milkshake?
Halo in the early 2000’s was just amazing. Midnight premier for Halo 2 at GameStop. LAN tournaments. Good times
Matt is so sick. He’s chill and funny. Not cringe and awkward like most “gamers”
If Formal wins another world championship this weekend he's without a doubt arguably in contention for the conversation of the BEST esports player in history, not just on console, in FPS and in Halo, but in general.🙏
He’s been fps goat tho
Formal isn't the GOAT in halo
Formal isn't even in the top 15
Formal only has 12 halo event wins 1 of them being a halo world championship
Ogre 2 has 40 halo events wins with 5 of them being halo world championships

@@joerowland2625 he was playing plumbers 🤦🏽
And cod you are ill informed
Predicting a Quadrant Vs Optic Grand final for World's 2023 and FormaL is gonna be on his demon shit and bring it home.
Nah SSG will win it all
@@underground5682must not know who Champs Formal is then
Man this deserves so many more views
The clips at the beginning with the soundtrack gave me chills
Very good video. Formal truly is one of the greats! 🐐
the was very well produced and edited 💕
Formal, Ogre 1 and 2, Lucid, Snipedown... these are legendary
Formal and Lucid aren't even top 15 halo players
Lucid isn't even top 25 best halo players
I would say Ogre2, pistola, ogre1, lethul and Roy with his best BR in the game.
FormaL is the definition of a competitive FPS veteran and will for sure go down in the esports hall of fame.
Formal is the best pov in FPS period.
Matthew Piper is truly the FPS goat
I'm with FormaL 100% about Halo 2. It's the fkn GOAT. The MJ of FPS. Not just because of the game. But the population and community it created. The competitiveness that was there, even on the social level. Everyone talked. LIke he said, if you were there to experience it you understand. NO GAME has reached that level since.
Another banger, great job team. This continues to be the kind of content HCS needs to fuel those storylines that make events so enjoyable.
This was dope. Halo2- halo3 era WAS magical
Happy to see him back, what a legend. Does make me sad that his return retired Pistola. Feel like he still has so much gas in the tank too
Halo 2 was always my fav, esp since it had XBOX live at the time.
5:34 That vibe switch is crazy
Great too see goofy been missing him on the casts
8:24 He got it right there.
This episode should have taken at least an hour, really nice
Halo 2 was insane. I'll never forget being a kid at riding the escalator in 42nd street and seeing that huge master chief poster. CHILLS
This was amazing! Halo 2 will always be my favorite game. Go win another one Formal
Best "Unlocked" so far, great work.
The episode we been waiting for - the goat
I've been watching him what feels like my whole life now. New generation's won't understand what Halo was to us.
So happy I grew up in the Halo 2 era. Videos Games have changed my life to be amazing and still playing in LANs and having a blast and still making new friends
Finally some HEAT for UNLOCKED!!!!
The MLG days was the best time for halo I miss them days
Anyone from the xbconnect/skype era? Remember staying up late to the wee hours grinding against people from around the world. Best memories ever!
Formal and optic have done a lot for infinite. Glad he’s back
The GOAT FormaL🐐 Unlocked always coming in with the banger content! 🔥🔥🔥
In FPS as a whole but not in halo
Ogre 2 is the GOAT of halo
Gracias FromaL siempre es un deleite ver tu POV ,sin duda el mejor jugador con control de todos los tiempos
I haven’t followed halo since reach. Seeing these old faces brings on nostalgia. Formal is without a doubt one of the best FPS players ever
That was epic! Hyped for worlds too
Halo really changed my life ❤
Daaamn almost got tears of joy
7:58 is fucking iconic, world champs
Halo made me so many friends as a kid because i was goated and the older kids wanted me to carry them
I cried watching this
I like what Hitch said, when Formal plays what he likes and wants to play he is truly the best!
Formal isn't the best halo player
Ogre 2 is
@@joerowland2625bro he’s saying overall FPS to do it @ highest lvl in 2 top titles
@@joerowland2625 can you read?
One of the goats so glad formal is back in halo
THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND THE ABSOLUTE GOAT!!!! H4F!!!! ALL TIME FAVORITE FPS PLAYER!!!
amazing vid!
I low key forgot how amazing halo was as a kid and how the day I saw my friend on the back of my other friend's warthog with the machine gun I begged my mom so hard to get me an Xbox just for halo and she got me it the next day. Gosh good times with friends even when they screen cheated 😂 Great video and production
Goosebumps
All the str8 rippin’ days, t squared, legit , Elamite, snipedown, etc etc game battles, halo 2/3 cod 4 mw1, mw2, mw3, bo2. Them days were the best… start of UA-cam optic being the biggest at the time, faze came, (can name 100+ teams both for YT montage and comp)
After they win Worlds this weekend, he can retire happy.
🔥 episode. Form your awesome
wow. amazing video, FormaL is the FPS goat
Thank you FORMAL 💚
Whoever did the music editing for this, i tip my hat to you
I had the same experience as him as a kid but with cod and halo 3. Waking up at 5 am to sneak in the basement to grind before my brother woke up. Good times
I miss halo 2/3 best time of our lives
Wow man that was so fuckin inspiring. Thanks Matt for being an amazing guy!
The goat of goats!
The best to ever do it. Can't wait to see if he can shut up all who doubt it, by going b2b... Omg, if he does it... How crazy whould that be?! For me he's already there. He's already the greatest fps player of all time, but just imagine... This is gonna one heck of WC
Why I'm crying?
Great production, let's get that championship
Nothing will ever compare to the Halo 2 days ..... Such a sick video guys
Now this is the real ep episode 3
damn i had goosebumps
GREEEEEEEN WAAAAAAAAALLL. Let's get it this weekend!
My all time favorite fps player
EPIC
What a Legend…
H4F…
This guy's reaction time is f'ing ridiculous a pro most definitely
I love u formal
31 year old here - halo 2 was the best era of gaming of all time. I have countless nights of eating pizza/mountain dew playing all game types under the sun (tremors on coag, foundation zombies, superbouncing every bounce possible, sword cancelling up headlongs tallest building... the list goes on) I specifically remember getting my 35 on slayer, I couldn't believe it. I was so pumped to show all my friends the next day when they got on and tell all my boys at school lol. I also remember hitting my first double shot and killing a kid on top of the ring at sanctuary - what a time to be alive.
Sorry Optic didn't play well in the grand finals. Hope formal returns.
My boy matured so much since I first started watching him play in Halo Reach.
Formal is our big brother that we look up to and wish we could be as cold as him
Formal is a living legend
What a fookin’ legend!!!
damn this was a good one
Og halo trilogy was beyond anything
When he talks about Halo -- you can clearly feel the passion for the game -- whenever he retires "Microsoft and 343i" better hire him as a consultant or a designer because he's extremely passionate about the game and he will add so much to Halo
H4F!!! Such a rare talent
halo 2 will live forever in our memories.
I among soooo many am glad he came back home. I never get tired of watching Matt being absolutely disgusting in HALO.
Now make an extended cut like hours more 😂 love matt.
Anybody else bawl like a baby when he left cod? Lol my wife thought he died by the way I was crying😂😂😂
Formal belongs to Halo. Glad he is back.
Thank you, FormaL.
H4F for life ❤
Thank you Formal.
"You sniped Lunchbox" way to get the coach
Matt’s the goat man. Funny character, great team mate, unreal player
Not in halo
Ogre 2 is the halo GOAT 🐐
@@joerowland2625 ogre is the GOAT of halo. I was just saying Matt is super cool basically. One of the best characters in esports. I know he isn’t a big fan of content, but his personality kills it.
