whens the bad boy out and what did halo get ????

[Firsty]

Who cares what it "got."
It's a great game and you know it.

This tournament sounds fun. But I'm shafted from the get go because
1) I can't get to it
2) I suck at halo mp...

[kamaran]

Weightgain - I have no idea mate sorry

aside though -

The EGC II prize fund has now been increased even further - more details up at http://www.the-egc.com This will allow for more prizes and mini tournaments/awards such as best/fastest goal of the day. There will of course also be additional Halo 2 prizes.

How about adding 3rd Strike\VF4evo to the Tourney I would love to play some hardcore SF'ers at a tourney ...prolly to late eh?

Seems like a good event, looking at the pevious ones pictures it was organised well with enough screens and enough room for people to chill about and play. Unlike that Absolution 2004...heard it was an Absolute mess :S We need a proper organised beat em tourney I would travel for that...i suck at Halo

[Tom Salter]

Aye jassi, we definately need more SF3/VF4 at tournaments. I know Halo and PES4 are great, but you'd attract a far larger fanbase if you could get a few PS2's, tellies and let people bring their sticks. That'd rock

[kamaran]

Thanks for the suggestions guys, well keep them in mind for EGC III. At the first tournament there was a big demand for Pes4 hence its now on the menu..

[kamaran]

Some more prizes have been added - 10 days of the promotion remain (20% off a free A3 poster)
