MLG Columbus 2012 - Halo: Reach Grand Final: Instinct vs Status Quo (Final match) 

I don't think I've ever felt more nostalgia than I do for Reach. It was the first real online game I ever played, and I just instantly loved it. The memories from Infection, Shotty Snipers, custom maps ... I miss Halo.

This event saved halo.... Halo 4 killed it. Columbus 2012 will go down as one of the best Halo events ever. Crowd was insane!!!

Had to come back to this video...it's just so intense!

2023 anyone?

I'm sad they didn't do more of ogre 2's POV, he's such a good player.

😢I miss this game so bad

One hell of a match, I could have sworn Instinct was gonna walk off with the win the way Pistola was going off. But Status Quo was pretty impressive. Nice game from both teams.

Coming back to cherish this moment

Thanks for uploading this, huge final match!

2024 checking in

oh man. always come back to this every now and then and holy shit its still awesome

Here for flamesword

I wanted Instinct to win this so badly.... they had it in the bag with two snipers but they were a little too aggressive and it cost them the match :/

No problem. The match was so epic. Everyone has to see it

Dang Pistola went to finals to years in a row...

happy for SQ. originally i thought flamesword wasnt too high caliber a player/captain, but he shined a lot in this tourney to me. props to them.

holy shit...easily, the best halo finals series i've seen

damn, such a good match.

walshy literally is the worst commentator of all time..he interrupts scott every single time haha

LOL snakebite's camera angle on his head makes him look like sheldon cooper.

Thanks for the upload!

Anyone looking to compete on halo reach now that it's on MCC?

should have seen it in person it was so crazy :D

had to watch again because it was such a great tournament! sQ all the way!

Bring Halo back into MLG!

hindsight is 20/20 dude. The game was so close that you could blame their loss on multiple choices by every member at different points throughout the game. In fact you could even blame decisions made in earlier games because if they had won a game that they lost then countdown slayer wouldn't have even been played.

i don't understand why lunchbox pushed street instead of taking his sniper to the other vent when pistola was at one vent. they could've had 2 snipers, 1 in each vent and secured rockets with that setup.

My point of view is that instinct deserved to win

2024 anyone ?

says the guy watching an MLG video.

Still get goose bumps watching this

Enable: Red haired ginger type Pokemon. Known for not letting Snake Bite even touch the Winter Championship trophy as Walshy stands directly in front of Snake Bite as to cut his camera time. Get's carried all Series long against Instinct, and celebrates as if he deserved to win. Enable.

Halo, thank you 4 that amaizin' time :') :D Halo FTW !!

I'll try and get the whole final tomorrow. Stay tuned

LOL every ones like "OLA, OLA, OLA, OLA and when he hits the body shot Crowd Goes WOOOOOHOOOOO

anybody else having trouble with audio on this video?

2 snipers and a 45-42 lead? instict fail

Absolute insanity

I have been watching MLG from 2005 up until they introduced sprint and for the first time in years I stopped caring and I stopped watching. I heard they dropped sprint and all that non halo b.s. and I must say this is the first halo match in a long long time that I was excited to watch.

1. They only dropped reach for one event. They said its supposed to be making a return. 2. Ive played competitive halo and cod. When you are playing cod with top tier players, its much harder than running around in public matches. CoD is more about gun skill,and faking out your opponents. Its more about setting up in certain positions, you cant base competitive cod off of regular public games. Its much harder, and since its 4v4 things like spawns work correctly.

It's crazy how we didn't really like Reach (It was awful until No bloom/No Sprint), but Halo 4 is so bad that I find myself watching this and actually missing it :/

Yes they shouldve. they put just as much hard work and time...actually..they practiced more both before and after the Red Bull Lan, Instinct practiced no where near as much, But this was a damn well fought tournament and match,to see the god squad taking out at the 1st event.

halo reach went out with bang. we can all agree on that

me either i havnt played in like a year im sad to see instint lose tho

i agree, it should have stayed on the circuit for a few more months.

walshy has earned his right to talk.

Why the hell would mlg drop halo?

that makes sense ogre 2 never wins in his home town for some reason

2019?

one of the4 best tdm games ive seen

Kicked him off Final Boss after 4 or so years. It was a longg time ago, lol.

One game doesn't prove that they're the best team there like the announcer said. God Squad is overall a way better team.

who got that final kill for them? and on who?

it seems that enable doesntlike Royal 2 very much

how can they pull halo after a game/series/event like this?! even if its only for one event!

Nobody would get a look in with that nub combo. Nobody.

Pistol was shitting on everyone

Wow who would have thought that a team with four of the best players currently in MLG Halo would be beaten by a bunch of newbies?? Roy, Lunchbox, Ogre 2 and Pistola all in one team is almost cheating!

SQ just had better teamwork

yeah man. when reach came out, i thought it was nothing like halo 3. then after playing H4...reach doesnt seem that bad lol

Do they like tour?

RIP MLG Halo

lbx u lost it for instinct! WHY DID YOU DROP DOWN WITH CAMO AND SNIPER?

1:52 "spots a wild enable down low..."

Volume is kinda low btw.

@1:55 spots a wild enable lmao pokemon? Match was good though real good :}

Royal 2 looks like Ted Mosby:)

i was thinking the same thing when watching this

Its weird roy kinda looks like lunchbox

Yes.

No matter how much i hate enable, i still hate every up themselves person from instinct

Jesus, that was close.

For sure.

walshy never shuts up..he is just annoying to listen to..scott was lead announcer and walshy just interrupts him all the time

please say soiler alert next time

damn what a choke

god dam its so quiet lol

That is too damn close haha

I recorded the last match only =/

Sheldon is a mlg pro his brrain !!! :D

i agree

There were alot of rookie mistakes, but i think thats because of the pressure from, well you know lol. But really it was an amazing match nonetheless.

igoturpistols on halo 4 championship. who wouldve known?

I miss the crowd

They played like bots

we all know that the symphatic team wons and have the most fans so lost no thoughts on Status Quo (what a shit name :o)

Perhaps you should coach them :)

Its Gandhi and Walshy

Instinct should win not stadus quo! Stadus quo was just LUCKY !!!

i like competitive gaming therefore i am a virgin

OH MY GAWD that was fucking intense!!! (that's what she said)

i was like GOGOGOGGOGOOGOGOGOGOG INSTINCT!!

whole*

Any team pistola plays for does that much better.

haha my bad dude

that was insane

LOL me too..he looks like a chipmunk

thank you for being awesome and uploading this. Piece of shit stream went out on me

Hate this game, instinct had that

Siiiickk
