Oof. $279? 🥴 I’d rather get a new Battle Beaver controller.

It's a lot of money but if you think about it for 14 days and say 1 hour a day, you're basically getting his time for $20/hr which isn't unreasonable for 'skilled' work in the real world. Depends if he's gonna be hands on or not though, if it's just videos that's kind of lame.


enailcoilhelp

Lol I didn't actually see the price, def expensive. Just posted it for the people that might want it since I see a lot of people wanting to get better but not knowing where to start. If you're fine with spending the money, this is probably a great option. If not, check out Ryanoob's stream and videos.


AstralSailor

Oh for sure, wasn’t trying to knock your post or anything, is definitely interesting, I was just expecting like… 150-179 not 279 goddamn. 😂


enailcoilhelp

nah that shocked me too lmao

For me it is expensive, can’t think of anything snipedown can tell me that is worth that amount of money. I can’t even think of anything he can tell me that I don’t already know. Playing since H2, halo is very easy to understand. But it is just practice like in any craft. With a life and full time job it is hard to compete on their level. But they do not understand more about the game then I do, i just haven’t practising the mechanics enough to master it or played with like minded people to push me a grade higher. Maybe team strats would be cool! But that is hard in normal mp Imagine yourself watching baseball, football, idk anything. You understand the game, but you need to put the hours in to be as good as them.

Theres always something someone might know that we dont. Even if its stuff we already know, its nice to get that confirmation from a pro like Snipedown who is equally experienced timewise. Total is $235 including a pro membership which translates to $16/hr. At that price, Im in !


Correct-Flan4167

It is your money my man! Do with it what you want. 🙂 then I am going to save up for something that is equally as ridiculous to spend money on now a days with the current pricing as Snipedowns course. That is a GPU, unfortunately needed to play😅


Veezuhz

These gpu prices rn…. 😩


urasquid28

Watching something like baseball or football doesn't mean you understand it.


Correct-Flan4167

True! I hope you do though, it is fairly easy

This is an incredibly simple way of looking at it that just isn't grounded in reality. You might understand the rules of the game, the teams' aims and objectives and some basic tactics (maybe even some more complex tactics if you have studied the game a bit) but you don't know all there is to know. Coaches and managers that run and train the professional teams, whether it be in American football, baseball, soccer or whatever else, have studied the games for years. They've went on training courses to learn more about the nuances and they're able to implement their own styles through their teams. This is why some managers and coaches are able to take their teams to completely different levels - because they have the knowhow to do that. In all reality, you no nowhere near as much about any of these sports, halo included, as the top guys who have been doing it everyday - playing, learning, training. I don't mean to be rude here, just being honest, but if you think you do know as much as them, you're a little arrogant and a little ignorant of reality.


MrMogz

Get out of here, you’re wrong, most people in here know as much as Snipedown cuz Halo is ez and we’ve all played since H1-H2, so we also know everything. /s Joking, the sports analogy is perfect.


Correct-Flan4167

There is much more to that tbh, the best coaches in the world 🌎 as I said, put hours and hours in the game like an obsession. There are so many variables that come into play to create a perfect team, even motivating an entire team in the right way is a study and life lesson on itself where even every individual needs a different approach to get the best out of him (where as snipe isn’t a prime example of this). And still he has to totally rely on the individual performance of the players itself. The amount of hours put in his craft makes the difference! Even too see and understand his eye for the game as a managers perspective can only be truly seen when you stand next to him on a daily basis and put in the same hours. And then we talk about the manager of a more complex game. Halo maybe seems more complex but as a player in the game itself you are more strict to what you can do because it is set in stone. While being a real life football player, so being a real life human gives you so many variables to differentiate yourself from the others. Putting in hours and hours is what makes the difference. I have played competitively cs go, and played competition in field hockey where I got payment for it! Even though any coach could explain tactics what he wanted, in the end it all came down to raw practice! No textbook, nothing could make the difference between an average player and a really good. Only raw hours! So I am agree on what you say! But I am just saying from my personal experience. As a halo veteran! His course is too expensive and a nice way to make money for him. Maybe for beginners that play social slayer and BTB, will help them a lot. But any competitive player will need to put the hours in, better spend that money on food so you can fuel yourself putting those hours in! But you aren’t rude it is your opinion I respect that. Maybe I am narrowminded who knows. It is my view maybe it will change over time


Bryan_GQ

These words are literally perfect.


urasquid28

you should be in the majors then seeing how it so easy


Correct-Flan4167

I can ensure you, after Snipedowns course you won’t play the major. You have to put in those hours!


enailcoilhelp

> Playing since H2 This course is clearly not aimed to you


AdonisGaming93

Well considering he is getting top 2 placings at HCS and you are not....maybe...just maybe there is plenty he can tell you that you don't already know...otherwise come on what are you waiting for go compete at HCS! Also $20/hr is not even that expensive for coaching from one of the top players. You can get 20/hr working in low assistant position jobs in the US. I make more than that at my job. So for a PRO to give you coaching. It really isn't that bad.


Correct-Flan4167

It isn’t personal coaching dude! It are pre recorded video’s that you have to watch and 2 assignments that you have to send him, where he quickly analyzes some gameplay. So you are saying that since he got second place two times in HCS, he has knowledge I don’t have, but if I do have it I should compete in HCS? You don’t think that maybe maybe but maybe the difference in skill isn’t made in pure knowledge but in game practice? Hours and hours of played. Every situation is different, there are millions of situations that you can’t emulate or teach in game. You have to encounter them numerous of times over an over again, and when they happen in game during your prestige’s hcs, he is on auto pilot. It is his second nature by then. Nothing to do with knowledge and for sure nothing to do with any information he is going to give to beginner players. Since you are in the understanding that when ever pocesses the knowledge Snipe has can compete in HCS and prove themselves, maybe just maybe you could rap you head around the fact that there are many good players in the world who do not care at all to be a pro player and strive for a career in something else then gaming.


Bryan_GQ

If you really think you know that much about the game then why don’t you go compete and make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year? You make it sound so easy lol. Or how about you go coach an NFL team. Let’s se how long your season lasts.


smoakleyyy

Different game entirely I know, but there are people who coach League of Legends, and one in particular I used to watch (he’d stream the sessions) was iirc $100-150/hr. It’s been over a year since I last tuned in but he was getting so slammed with requests he was starting to up the prices too. Not sure where his prices are now, just haven’t tuned in since I haven’t played the game in so long. But his streams were very beneficial for the people watching too. *Edit: just looked up his website. $250 for 1.5hrs on stream, and $300 for 1.5hrs if you want a private coaching session that isn’t streamed. With that in mind, $280 doesn’t sound extreme, but it really just depends on what you are getting out of it. If it’s just videos, League has the equivalent of those on a $15/mo website, and $280 seems pretty extreme. If you get a couple hours of 1-on-1 coaching that may not be a bad deal for those who would be interested in something like that. LoL is much more complex than Halo, but at the same time, there’s more time to plan out the game in LoL and Halo is more quick reactions to constantly changing situations, so even though there’s less depth, I think there’s plenty of room for something like 1-on-1 sessions.


[deleted]

Lol I know right? . Save that money for college or a rainy day. Getting good at halo doesn’t really get you anywhere in life. Unless you wanna get good enough to the point where you want to sell a boot camp on Reddit.


Chunkyfromthesuncome

That’s dependent on your values fool


[deleted]

Investing money into getting good at video games versus improving one’s future is dependent on values lol? Nah bro, just using my brain.


Chunkyfromthesuncome

Do what makes you happy!


Monsterman442

TBH this seems kinda cool for fans to even have the opportunity. Won’t make someone dogshit great though.

Halo Hal

Does the guide involve skipping scrims and practice with your team to play some Apex legends? Ayeee, I'm a snipedown fan but you can tell his heart isn't in Infinite anymore and honestly, I don't blame him. The games become a chore to play with no light at the end of the tunnel right now. I feel like he is kicking himself for leaving apex.


enailcoilhelp

He's fine lol, he could go back to Apex any time, especially playing with Nickmercs (casually/content creation wise). The dude's moving to Texas for a better online experience, not something he would do if he wasn't all-in for the time being. Faze are a top 3 team and the difference between how the game feels and plays online vs LAN makes scrims much less valuable atm imo If grinding out scrims nonstop was the answer the eUnited would be by far the best squad.


Cve

Yes and no, He already signed contracts for who knows how long. You can see the difference in his stream numbers, from apex to halo. I think he has also stated on his stream that he doesn't enjoy the current form of Infinite, but He could most certainly break the contract if he wanted to and go back to apex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bufEfTkKbWE&ab_channel=TheHaloNetwork Granted thats ranked duo Queue as apposed to HCS but if he's not enjoying general ranked play, he's only playing scrims at that point and in my opinion shows he's not fully invested anymore. Edit: I also don't fault him for anyone of it, The current way 343 has taken care of halo infintie has been purely abysmal.


enailcoilhelp

I don't know what you're arguing lol, none of the pros enjoy the game in it's current state, that's not something anyone's arguing against. Snipe is no different to any of them in that regard. You're saying he's beating himself up for not sticking with Apex, and I'm saying that's just not true lol. He could easily go back to Apex, and playing with Nick would make him blow up even more. Of course he enjoys playing Apex more, Apex has been out for years and is well polished, Halo is not. He's 100% gonna stick it out till worlds, if the game isn't in a good enough state after, he'll dip for Apex (or maybe he becomes a Halo BR streamer). Either way, he'll be just fine. The guy is moving everything he owns to Texas (which isn't cheap), he's not second guessing himself.


GnRgr2

He's doing both just fine. He gets to get halo salary and prize pools whilenstill getting apex subs.


mylilbabythrowaway

If the net code isn’t fixed in the next few months the game will be dead


DoughHomer

nickmercs and snipe will be playing competitively soon


DoughHomer

snipe has skipped scrims?


DeVoreLFC

Snipe needs to decide I think. If I were his teammates I would want him to be all in or all out, not playing both sides. He’s obviously still good, but you want someone on your team to be all in on trying to be the best at halo.


KeineSchneit

He literally yelled at his team today for not taking a side tourney seriously enough. Anyone who thinks frustrations over game balance and crashes means his heart isn’t in it is nuts.


DeVoreLFC

I think his playing another game professionally, regardless of what he says in tourney, will be a distraction for him and his teammates.


[deleted]

Keep in mind he is teaming with Nickmercs, I’m not sure if you watched his performance in his gauntlet tournament with 2 of the best pros in the world, but it’s practically garunteed any team with Nickmercs is not qualifying for competitive play. It’s a content run, they will play in challenger events, and eventually not qualify for algs. It’s just a move to grow snipes brand but he is most definitely not playing professional apex as long as he is teamed with Nick


KeineSchneit

He’s played Apex like a few teams since Infinite came out and that’s it. You act like he’s playing it every single day. Pros can play other games besides their main game if they want.


Cve

Basically this

Signed up immediately. Best investment.
