    As a 37 year old who still games, I’m forever thankful for being alive during the H2/H3 MLG days. Local LANs at friend’s houses, road trips across the country to MLG events, staying up all night playing ranked matches online….it’s something that younger people have no idea what they missed. H2/H3 are still the most memorable years I’ve ever had of gaming. This video takes me way back to those glory days!

      That sounds like an amazing experience I was too young at the time but I grew up watching mlg halo and even just watching it was a great time. Being a halo pro would be like a dream come true I can’t even begin to imagine how crazy it was to be going on road trips with ur dudes to a Lan event 🔥🔥

    One of the best to ever do it. Halo 3 at MLG was the golden age of Halo competitive gaming. The main stage, MLG broadcast and casting, sponsorships, Dr Pepper Ultimate Gaming House. I was rooting for Str8 Rippin 08-09. I spent countless hours playing Halo 3 online. Thanks for the entertainment and the memories. Best of luck on your future, wherever that takes you.

  • @cuppajoe101

    Hey Snipe you're a legend. Hearing you talk about MLG in 2008ish brought back a ton of memories for me since I remember watching all those clips with you and Str8 Rippin in college. I didn't play H2 online but H3 ranked with friends was definitely my favorite online gaming experience. I actually never thought I would get hard addicted to another game like I did in Halo 3, but then Apex came out and once I realized you could outplay people with positioning like in Halo I got hooked to this day. Seeing some of the OG Halo names in the Apex scene like you and Ghostayame and T2 helped a lot too. You were one of the reasons I became a TSM fan as well. Thanks for all the memories, looking forward to more through whatever new door you open ;)

    I wanna say how shocked I am to see this, but at the same time, I could definitely see it coming with where Halo has been going. I can only imagine the feelings he has with saying goodbye, especially if it’s your childhood. Seeing how much he was smiling though, it seems he feels great comfort and confidence in his decision to leave Halo. That’s telling…
    An absolute legend in Halo, but we have to learn to move on when our love isn’t reciprocated. I hope his passion & competitive spirit live on elsewhere, his personality & talent glow.

      This is not 343s fault as Snipedown said he absolutely hated halo Reach Bloom settings and that halo Reach bloom settings was the worst halo to date and pretty much all pros prefer halo Infinite to Halo 4.
      Bungie killed the competitive scene with halo Reach. 343 didn't
      Multiple halo pros like Snipedown have stated halo 5 was a good game and the best since halo 3
      Ogre 1, Ghandi and Shockwave retired during the halo 3 days so does that mean halo 3 is the worst game ever

    I was 15 when snip3down hit the scene, and I was a massive Str8 fan at the time. I'm 29, and can say it was a pleasure watching your career. Onto a new chapter!

    Bro this is how I know I'm getting old. I remember the Str8 Rippin' announcement video where it ended with him joking about calling Triggers Down back. Absolutely legendary career.

    So sad to see you go man. I've been following your Halo career since I found out about you in Halo 3. You were the first pro I knew about and have always been the one I aspire to play/be like. You've always been who I look up to when I grind and try to go pro. I could tell that your heart wasn't in it in Halo:Infinite so I understand if you've lost the passion. Whatever your next path/ journey is I support you. You will be sincerely missed and have inspired so many with your personality and performances on Halo. I wish you the best, much love ❤

    All things change over time, in with the new out with the old. People including kids and adults quit when things are no longer fun, been in management all my life and seen it go from fun work to work and then I’m out, seen it with friends and family too, friends kid doesn’t want to play the drums at 14 he’s a beast! Amazing drummer nope done, why? Because it’s a chore now. Nephew run’s further then any I have ever known quits running why? It’s a job not a sport. I get it, it was always a job but when the job is no longer fun you have people who leave. Been there done that, my parents always told me you only live once, be happy and do what makes you happy.
