  • 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


    • Our thoughts




    • Yes - 9 Votes - 47%

    • No - 2 Votes - 11%

    • Certain Weapons (Which Ones) - 0 Votes - 0%

    • Normal Weapon Zoom Only (Sniper Rifle, etc) - 8 Votes - 42%
