Seems legit.

[UNLUCKY NUM13ER]

oh it gives me a dumb idea. We should have vCash bounty system. Pay people to kill other people in battles.

j/k lol

[Jam Cliché]

That would be epic. But maybe instead of a certain player, it's a challenge to perform a certain type of kill. Like taking down an enemy Mantis in the first minute of the game without disabling it, or snipe a player out of a mancannon, or an airssassination, or flag joust...

[MedeDust]

Perfect idea forest.

[Lil Nawty Lucia]

I've sniped someone that was getting in a mantis, (As he was opening the hatch) where is my vCash?

Personally I would hate that my dad wasted money on that, but I would love the competition. lol

[Anarchy]

LOL

The game that kid is playing is Special Force, known as Soldier Front in the U.S. It's one of the most popular PC games in Asia, and the game I played competitively for 3 years before coming to Halo.

There was actually an instance where someone killed themselves for losing in the World finals of that game's tournament.

:weird:

[Silent Arbiter1]

but I dont have an underlying problem...

[MicroJupiter]

Haha. This is awesome!

On a serious note I enjoyed the quote from the specialist saying it's not the amount of time played that's a problem, but the impact it has on your life. Good food for thought.
