I don't care about the list. I'm just enjoying these somewhat small documentaries of these players
Same here
Yep. The numbers are all out of order, but the vids are very well done.
Facts I’m just enjoying something Halo and not cod for once
Facts
I just discovered these documentaries, and it’s honestly the perfect way to find some closure after they pulled the Xbox 360 Halo servers. I’m 27 years old now and Competitive Halo was my entire childhood.
I’m 26 now bro and halo competition was all I knew as a kid aswell
@@zyzz_reborn944 fake Halo fans. Been a fan since 2004. Still watching til this day. Trend followers.
Really hope Pistola gets picked up again soon, as a coach at least.. The man has way too much veteran halo knowledge to let go by the wayside.
Would be a waste to have him as a coach especially when he's better then most players. I feel he only got dropped cause Trippey him and APG were filling in that support role and they just had to get another damage dealer in formal.
@@PorkRyan they need to drop apg for pistola
Sad day rewatching and this is the day pistola retired 🥺 gonna miss him. Shed a tear today.
lol this comment aged like milk
@@angel429 LOL formal an Apg just snapped on worlds
It's insanity that pistola is not second. Snakebite and Lethul are amazing and deserve to be super high, but not above ola. It's not like he fell off after H3
This whole list was thrown out the door when walshy was at 8 lmao
@@mitchconner2021 Roy at 7 is also blasphemy
Lethul has a higher average placing and more tourny wins by double digits. Ola is the mf wizard, but downplaying Lethul is just ignoring reality.
@@FPSBloodlust I'm not downplaying lethal at all. I think context is important. Pistola was the best player when the standard of halo was the highest it's ever been. It's fair to say Lethals success has come after H3 when the standard and competition has dropped. Nothing against lethal, but that stat you mention doesn't hold much weight for me
@@hazzaw12 lmao, the standard according to who? You? A dude who is not professional, never was or will be professional? 🤣 Halo 5 is pretty widely accepted as the most difficult Halo game, unless you're a starry-eyed dingus
Watched this after Optics comeback against C9 in Infinites first tourney. ‘Twas epic
A thing of beauty, I was grinning the entire time. So happy to see Halo back
You know that friend who is always in the right place at the right time, he almost seems lucky and it's effortless? That was Pistola in halo, and I'm not saying he was lucky.. He had insane skill, but he would always be in the right place at the right time. He manifested those moments.
Does anyone else remember Ola getting a perfection on Champ Sunday at an H5 event? Coliseum Slayer on his birthday, I don't remember who the other team was.
This placement is egregious
Most of these have been. Wayyyy to much put on crap H5 there's a reason no one watched that shit.
@@mitchconner2021 lmao had higher numbers of viewers than any H3 MLG event, actually.
Boo hoo, he placed 4th ALL TIME instead of 3rd, cry about it.
The thing is halo 5 probably took the most skill so… I know you slow pokes are salty though
Golf is pretty skillful but no one I know cares about it. H5 is the same
Bruh. Pistola deserves 2. If ogre 2 isn’t 1 this list is literally chalked beyond redemption
I was thinking 3. Hate him, but Lxthul deserves 2. Ogre 2 has to be number 1. Snakebite does not deserve to be above Ola….
I’m 100% with you this list is a sham for many players.
@@Robohunter2144 did you continue spectating past halo 4? H2a and h5 snakebite was the more valuable player.
@@morky3352 absolutely not. H5, maybe: H2A, you are completely wrong. If Ola doesn’t break his hand, snakebite is nothing even to this day…
@@morky3352 Also, even if you believe that, that is two games vs three games. Ola 100% deserves to be higher. This is complete recency bias.
Imagine if Ola would have won that 1v1 National in 07, or the 4v4 National in 09, or the 1v1 Global H4 event in 2013; this man came very close to having an argument for #1
I remember the Global Halo 4 1v1. I was rooting for Pistola. I was upset when he lost.
he has an argument, should be #2 or #1
@@jaygarcia6094 same :(
@@jaygarcia6094 i swear he was bs'ing that game. felt like he didn't really feel like going full sweatmode on ace
Ola is better than Ogre 2, but Ogre 2 was part of the early MLG era final boss dynasty so it is what it is.
Optic took the cake on the first Halo Infinite tournament. This dude is STILL on fire.
Maaaaan not even gonna mention his 2nd place in the Halo 4 FFA world championships? Incredible player.
Congrats to Pistola and OpTic for winning the first HCS in Infinite
And the second
aged poorly lol
@@dinomightx3 They won the first two........
@@williamstanley9048 Was Raleigh not the first tournament?
@@dinomightx3 nah, it was the first major... The first two tournaments were NA Online Open 1 and Online Open 2. The original comment here was after Open 1, and I followed up after Open 2 with what I said. The major definitely holds WAYYYY more weight and ultimately will be remembered as the first real tournament. But the first and second HCS tournaments in infinite were won by Optic.
the wizard
The nostalgia that these videos bring me is something else! Thanks for the content!
The actual GOAT. Favorite halo player of all time without a doubt
Wait so Ola destroys everyone in every game he played in other then 5. And even in 5 he is always top 4. Like WHAT IS THIS PLACEMENT. TOP 3 ATLEAST
Waiting patiently on Ogre 2 in 1st place 😎
yea he better be
Don't hold your breath at this point they might not even put him on the list with how bad they botched it.
I think now that Ola probably is going to end his career, the halo scene will not be the same anymore. He’s just a part of it, or at least for people that watched him since the H3 and Reach days, we lost one of the best and he will be missed for sure.
I hope that he becomes a caster or something like that. We need him still involved with halo honestly.
Hope to see more of these videos of the old pros!
Lethul over Ola, Roy, Snipedown…absolutely mind blown.
I absolutely love this channel, and it has me so hype for halo infinite e sports.
Goose bumps I’m loving these docs
Pistola is the archetype of big plays big shots.
Sad to see he’s finally done
4th? 4th……..he’s not even on the Halo podium? No way.
Have played many Guardian FFA matches this dude , he is one of the GOATS
He's no 1 for me. thers never been a player as unique in style so sneaky and smart and so annoying to play against, always pulling clutch moments.
Pistola only being in 4th is a joke. Top 3 ATLEAST, could make an argument for Top 2. The voters must have just thrown darts at a wall to pick. Crazy. Love the video though! Ola is my favorite player of all time.
We miss you Ola
ola where are you? i hope you come back in someway or other.
Wait wait wait wait… hold up. Cmon now guys… clear cut #2 here
used to match halo 2 rumble pit with this guy in the early days. We used to trade 1st and 2nd all night long after 1am. -Darkshy
OLA is the man.
ALSO: Huge props to Gandhi for his efforts and ability to keep the scene alive with his Gandhi's thoughts series and his own extensive "best of" of list
here: ua-cam.com/video/jjdS-YaaIkg/v-deo.html.
I also feel like he did not get the respect or acknowledgement for what he was saying and sharing. Props bro, I watched you in the "Olden times", you are a halo Legend.
As he continues to destroy with optic on infinite 💪🏻💪🏻
That double noscope clip against Instinct in 2010 to this day is still my fav event clip. That and 08 Dallas Snipedown are hard to pass up as the best h3 event moments
Dude and he’s such a badass 😂
Pistola has to be #2
damn, wanted Ola in that 1 or 2 spot
The caliber of these Top 10 videos has hands down saved this whole ranking debacle.
Ola is Top 3 without a doubt and Top 2 easy.
sup broski
@@DarthMasiah Greetings Earthling! Browsing UA-cam for Halo nostalgia goodness?
@@JesseVanWagner oh yeah
End of an era :-(
I cri
i wish pistola was more public
i love him more than any player in halo
hes the reason i even play games at such a high level
I practiced claw religiously thanks to players like Ola & Walshy. I always tried my best to replicate their agile, multi faceted style.
cmonnnn man how could they do such a good job on the production value and forget to add in pistolas snipe though the crack on pit in H3? thats arguably one of the most "only pistola" plays out there
Any OG that watches this will agree with me. sorry, yall f'd up with his clips. Also he should be #2 if the recency bias didn't hit so hard
His 1st win MLG Meadowlands 2007. Its only fitting to see Ogre2 in that same game+ MLG Chicago 2007 1st
tD run in 2009 3wins
3 event wins in a row FB 2010
Back2Back Halo 3+Halo Reach Champs
H4GC 2nd
HCS Pro Fall H5 2016 Champs
HCS 2019 H3 Champs
Where can I get a list of bgm of this video？Awesome content btw.
The wizard, the magician of halo. True legend
Joke of a placement. Nobody who understands competitive Halo puts Pistola at anything below #2. He was by far, by FAR the best Halo 3 player. He was also the lynchpin to the best Halo 3 and Halo Reach teams of all time.
Yeah TD, FB, and Instinct all needed Ola. And those were 3 extremely successful teams. TD being the first to repeat in H3 history, FB 3-peat and national championship, and then instinct obviously in reach. It's insane.
The judges were all former pros or commentators you dingleberry. Pretty sure they understand the game more than you do
@@FPSBloodlust You're clearly not plugged into the community. This list is widely considered to be trash. Ogre 2 made an hour long video on the topic and put Pistola at 2. I guess he doesn't know the game either?
@@CDX7 if by "widely" you mean like a hundred casuals whining about it, then sure 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh and Fearitself
@@CDX7 he wasn't a judge, and Tom is well known for being pretty subjective. That's like asking Michael Jordan if he was better than Lebron. You think he's gonna say LeBron? 🤣🤣🤣 Your arguments are nonsense. Again, I didn't make the list, former pros did
Man just realized none of these videos have h4 clips and thank god
It was a very dark Era of halo
“But I guess it’s not yet.” - he just flexed on the world right there.
Im going to start competing. I think im good nuff. These guys are legendary.
That's the attitude to have. Good luck!!
I highly disagree with the list placements. Seems the only one they got right was Ogre 2 at #1. Pistola, Walshy, and Snip3down should have all places much higher.
And the fact that Orge 1 is no where on this list is just ridiculous and absurd.
Orge 1 was the original GOAT in Halo CE until his bro caught up and then surpassed him.
Ogre 1 needs to be in every Halo Top Ten list
What ever happened to zyos
Is there a full version of the first song somewhere?
Damn, haven't seen Scott since he was casting smite. Miss that personality
I'm 30 and this shit is getting me emotional lol God do I miss these days
Pistola really busted a Kanye “ people wanna know what would’ve happened if I didn’t win…. I guess we’ll never know” 😂
My man
this guy is inspiring...should be top 3
Personal hero
Thank you 2021 for releasing infinite. So much nostalgia and its starting to feel like the good old days
Easily my favorite Halo pro, I hope he comes back :/
I would have put Ola at 2-3. Can’t wait to see what #1 is
same here.
it’ll be interesting to see who everyone picks.
@@jacobthejuuler if I were making the list and could include any well known player. 1 would be Tylenul, 2 Pistola, 3 Snipedown, 4 Neighbor, and 5 Snakebite
@@iFknLoveSwat Tylenul is no where near those other 4 nor should he even be in the top 25
@@NickTemperistic you sir are completely high
@@iFknLoveSwat Nope just realistic.
Tripppey and Pistola are teaming in infinite. :O
Pistola kind of reminds me of M2K from Melee... reads people like a book and instantly know there mistakes and punish them.
Pistola should be 1st or 2nd. Only player that has an argument to out rank him is Ogre 2. This is outrageous.
Remove snakebite and royal 2 from top 5. Snipedown should be in top 5 not even close.
Top 5
Ogre 2
Pistola
Snipedown
Walshy
Ogre 1
Top 3 are wholly undeniable though. How snipe is outside of top 5 let alone top 3 is crazy. Recency bias is great.
And they wonder why both halo 4 and 5 sold less than 3. People learned 343 is trash pretty fast.
@@mikejaoude5496 imagine thinking you know better than actual former pros 🤣 including Walsh and Elamite. Y'all are a gag with this "recency" bias shit like you aren't being biased towards Halo 2-3 specifically
Did not age well here
@@mousecop0761 Snakebite and Royal 2 still aren’t above snipe down lol. Wtf are you eating
My favorite player ever!!! ❤
Top 3 are gonna be Lethul, Snakebite, and Ogre2.
Loved watching h3 days
I'll never forget out DMRing pistola during the reach beta. Ola is a god and I am honored to lose to him.
Here again cause optic took another W ! Lets go ola!!
Love that Ghandi is a ATLUTD supporter.
chris pucket really looks like Dazed from cgo
To me the GOAT
Been waiting for Optic to fall off the top since they dropped Ola.
Stop hating on purpose
Pistola got dropped from Evil Geniuses in halo 2 Anniversary by Roy, Lunchbox , Snipedown
Pistola got dropped by Snipedown and Mikwen in 2018
So he's been dropped from multiple teams like every other pro player
@@joerowland2625 he broke his hand when he rage punched the ground in H2A i thought. I feel like if APG got dropped and they kept Ola theyd of been equally as good if not better.
@@jonsalvador6988 You have a feeling
That's just you're opinion
Lunchbox and crew fired Pistola
Lunchbox
Lunchbox is one of the smartest halo players
So that clearly shows dropping Ola was definitely better them APG
They won a world championship
Pistola hands down #2.
Welcome to OG baby lfg 🔥🔥
he's #1 in my opinion... best individual player is what really matters, best positioning and fundamentals (next to Ogre2)... #1 concussion damage (#1 with rockets and Top 5 with grenades) and probably the best defensive player as well, he usually finds a way to cheat death... he is the best Halo 3 player... and his best trait is he is totally unpredictable
Does anyone know, does Shotzzy have a big contract, is that why he's not coming back to halo?
Should have been number 2.
I just wonder if the Achilles heel for Optic is APG
❤️👑
Seeing pucket takes me back. They really need to hire him to commentate halo again. As iconic as the announcer
Played pistola on mcc, we prevented the steak at least
2:30 lmao ahahahah
el mago
I think it should be ogre 2, walshy/snipedown, pistola
Pistola just got dropped😬🤦♀️🤦♀️
Ayo ghandi looking realllllll good in these.
bro is Pistola's running riot in pro league on here?
They somehow had Royal 2 right behind this man above Roy and Snipedown. Listen to the recap "Pistola has won over 20 major events across 5 Halo titles" now go listen to the Royal 2 recap.
Royal 2 has won in 5 halos
Royal 2 has won 18 LAN events and 3 of those are World Championships
Pistola isn’t 2nd? What? Lol where is ogre1? Why is Walsh 8?
Bunk list, but cool documenting these players.
Pistola is the best player from Halo 3 and onwards.
I met Pistola and we talked about why LOTR are our favorite movies. He will forever be my favorite Halo player
formal coming for a spot on this list after this season. especially if shotzzy takes apg''s place after shotzzy leaves cod. this list will look different after infinite
nah
I miss the days when teams would actually stick together...It seems the majority of eSports teams now change out players or completely disband after like a single event...Back in H2 days when Final Boss would be together for an entire season, Carbon, Str8 Rippin...Maybe after a few events there may be 1 player change but for the most part teams stuck together.
If you go to the esports fandom page and check any pro player, there is going to be like 30-40 teams they've been in on the last 10 years..
We all know OLA is actually number 2 on the list. No real Halo fan would deny that But whatever. These videos are sick regardless.
Pistola is the CLayster of COD lol
Pistola will always be 2nd on my list
scot ghandi is hilarious
