I was going to sit on this, but then I thought about it for awhile and realized that I want some real competition.

About Halolympics:
Every week at the Alamo Drafthouse Village in Austin, Texas, we're inviting the most frag-fueled Halo fans to come out and show their stuff on the big screen. Well, big screens, actually, because we're going to have two theaters worth of mayhem going on linked over our very own hi-def LAN-united Xboxes. If you've never played Halo 2 on a movie screen before, you have no idea what you've been missing. Not only does your Master Chief or Covenant character look immensely larger than life, but there'll be a crowd of fellow Halo fans in the theater with you, watching and cheering along with every kill you score (or laughing at your feeble skills as you get bonked on the head over and over).

Each week's tournament will be a round-robin event focusing on Free For All matches of Halo 2 with none of that pussy radar shit helping you figure out where your opponents are. You'll be all alone against 7 other players, all trying to get the most kills in a 10 frag game of Slayer. The best players will move on to Round 2, where we'll switch the levels around and see who's got what it takes to get to the semi-finals. If you can hold your own against the best of the best then you'll have your shot at the final round: one on one Slayer with you fighting against the other best player, each on your own movie screen.
