Some videos don't deserve to be erased from the internet.
This is the story of the greatest Halo player of all time... Ogre 2. I edited and helped produce this video in 2021 while working with Misfits Gaming. After the Florida Mutineers franchise was sold to Team Heretics, the entire Florida Mutineers RUclips channel was archived and erased from history. A lot of my work is gone, but some stories deserved to be told.

There is a select genre of people out there that got to experience Halo 1 - 3 in it's prime. If you know, you know
You just had to be there
Grateful to experience this with my buddies growing up. Halo LAN.... nothing will ever come close. Bygone era.
Honestly my buddy and I should have competed. We were so good together. Alone we are ok. Together borderline unkillable. Reach was the last great Halo.
agree but "genre of people" makes no sense

As a 41 year old life long halo player, I’ll never forget being 23 and watching mlg, and seeing all of this live. One of the true fondest times of my life.
Almost 38. Man it really was special.
Im 30 and it was special.
Same bro. 40 yrs old here. Had the honor of watching them in MLG live. The only real GOAT in my book.
true that
40 here. And yes it was
Friend on the buss introduces you to Halo, then go to his house to play, weeks later you get an xbox... same exact for me... and millions of teens back then, so awesome we all have that shared experience.
Bus has one s not two my guy
Halo nastalgia off the charts here…There will never be a Halo dynasty like there was with Team 3D/Final Boss! Hands down the greatest player of all time, I consider it an honor that I was lucky enough to watch this all unfold back in the day. Ogre 2 will always be the GOAT 🐐🎮🥇
FormaL is the console goat
@@kingandrewjoeyjohns No. I respect formal for what he has done but he will never touch what Ogre 2 has done. I don't see formal getting 51 event wins in total with 5 national/world champs under his belt. nope
@AntiGenZandY You can say the same about Ogre2, he's never done what FormaL has. FormaL not only has been very successful in COD which dwarfs Halo but he's recently come over and dominated Halo also and he's still active. Ogre2 is a legend but only a legend for Halo. FormaL is a legend in both COD and Halo. But I'm happy to agree to disagree.
@@kingandrewjoeyjohnsnu halo literally is cod💀
True
“I’d look outside and see friends with TVs” the good old days…
2003-2006 were the best years of my life. So glad to have been a part of this
Final Boss has got to be one of the best team names ever.
Definitely helped that they were so dominant.
Great pairing, lol.
Fromsoftware Boss probably is the best name now lol
Imagine? “Who y’all got in grand finals? You guys are facing .. Final Boss”. Instantly checked. Lmao
Final Boss was probably the best gaming team ever at that point. Their performances really put them into a category of their own
@@jonathondelemos4609 SKT T1 would like a word
Nothing will ever beat Halo 2.
Halo 3
@@twotimer6731Halo 2 BTB > Halo 3 BTB because of the maps. Halo 3 wins everywhere else.
Midship FFA
@@twotimer6731 halo 3 just had a horrible field of view thats all
Nah halo 3 is the best video to ever be created I take this to my grave
I can remember days just sitting in halo 3 lobbys with friends talking about MLG event results or the Ogre twins and how good they are and ya know occasionally you'd run into some pro's if you were level 50 in the MLG playlist and i was always just excited to play people of that caliber.
Searching 3s or 4s high level MLG and matching up with a team of pros was a feeling that couldn't be described, the excitement and dread at the same time was crazy.
Some old pros still play the remaster of halo 2. If run into Elamite often.
I wish I could go back to those days knowing what I know now. I always had such a negative mindset, took things way too serious. I LOVED halo 3 and the whole era of gaming surrounding it, but I could never get beyond rank 45 in team slayer, doubles, or lone wolves... all because I'd get too down on myself whenever I'd die or make a mistake. Oh well... the fun memories still remain🕊
@@fabreasy304I used to be outstanding at Halo 2 but years of unchecked ADHD autism and depression have made it almost impossible for me to perform well
Once I got to level 37 it was nothing but modders and cheaters.... I Could never get higher than that. Lost my 37 and got it back many numerous times bc of that $h!t.
Man just hearing the term “screen peek” really gave so much nostalgia, me and my childhood friends and cousins would get into literal brawls over that sh*t😂
I miss seeing Tom compete, but I'm glad I got the chance to see him compete. It truly was something special.
It was fun seeing him during the Walshy vs Goldenboy BTB tournament. Him, walshy, snipedown, lunchbox and a few more. Just wish the whole team was stacked with the OGs.
ill never forget watching him compete on TV on dishtv. damn lol mustve been between 2006-2009
My dad used to run an internet gaming cafe in Ohio an hour or so from where the Ogres lived during their Halo competition days. They actually organized a small Halo 2 MLG tournament at our store that had 64 competitors in attendance, and they were super nice guys. After the tournament was over, (They won unsurprisingly) they went back on the Xbox live kiosks we had at the back of the store and jumped on our store accounts to play some online matches on a team with one of the store employees playing Oddball. They told Ryan, the employee, to just hold on to the Ball on Lockout and watch, and he pulled up the score screen and just watched as the entire opponents' icons were constantly red Xing out from being killed literally the entire game without pause. xD
The veil has been lifted. Nice to get some insight on the Ogres.
Incredible story
Honestly props to their parents for being super supportive, especially during a time when Esports in North America was in its infancy. I still remember my parents letting me go to a CSS local tournie. I won 100 bucks from 2nd place and I wish I had pursued it, but 2004 was a different time.
This was such a great time in gaming. Watching them on G3 network and then trying to take what I learned into the Xbox live was a different. A lot of good memories watching these tournaments.
Maaaaannnnn this made me emotional. The editing and music really did me in. Hadn’t seen this before but I absolutely loved it
Same. There was just nothing like it back then. Memories to be saved forever
I was only 9 when halo 3 came out and was more into sports and going outside than gaming, so it's always bittersweet watching these types of videos and hearing people's stories of the "good ol days" because just a few years sooner and I would have experienced them. I got to play prime halo 3 and mw2, early league, pubg, overwatch, cs, etc..., but if given the chance I would probably trade them for early wow days, halo 1/2, cod 4, etc...
competed at the same tournaments with these guys, ogre 1 and 2s team work is unmatched.
Some of the best parts of my life were spent on Halo with family and friends who still game with today, the LAN parties along with Ogre 2 were truly GOAT. Solid video.
We need more people making documentary type stuff like this for competitive Halo. Its a story that really deserves to be told. I wish Ghandi completed his Halo history before he took off elsewhere.
I was also on Xboxconnect back in the day. I ran into the Ogres a few times. When Halo 2 released, I ran into them again and this time we had mics and what not. They were always cool dudes, even though they smoked us. The golden age of FPS. Thanks for the memories Ogres!
What was your screen name on XB connect?

This whole video was my childhood while growing up, so nostalgic. So many good years, thank you for all the memories Tom!
so cool hearing the parents POV, hearing about a video game tournament was probably mind blowing to them
Thank you for sharing this. Halo was such a huge part of growing up. And the ogre’s were always one of my favorite to watch growing up!
I never saw this video so thanks for reuploading, this was awesome! We need more documentaries on the Halo legends!
You earned a subscribe my man, this was insanely well produced.
i was trying to find this video a few weeks ago and thought i was crazy and imagined the whole thing lol. Thank you putting this back up The Goat should never be erased
Those early years of Halo MLG felt special, glad I was keeping up with the scene back then and able to watch those early Team 3D, STK and Final Boss moments.
Great Video!
Thanks for posting this super cool vid! I still remember watching Final Boss in the Halo 2 + 3 glory days 😥
this is beautiful, please continue making these types of videos!
So much memories! I'm 35 now and these guys and so many others from that period represent such an amazing youth, such an amazing time to be a gamer and some of the best gaming moments for myself also, meeting some of my best friends from all over the world that I still know to this day! Awesome video man, thanks for posting I haven't seen this before and it's very cool to reflect on.💥💥💥H2 also, just in itself GOATED. What I'd give to go back to that time and start over...
Wow what a great mini documentary. Thank you for re-uploading it. Bringing back so many memories. I still have my signed MLG Toronto booklet from all Final Boss and Carbon players.
I always loved the Ryan brothers since the MLG days, they are twins like me and my brother, we both love halo, we had friends we would land with in high school and we graduated high school around the same time, the ultimate role models. I’m happy to hear how their parents supported them playing video games, back then that was pretty uncommon. Great video! Glad to see they’re doing well.
I joined a friends custom match once with Walshy, Ogre 1, Ogre 2, and other really good players. It was standard BRs on midship but I was getting killed so quickly it was like swat. I don’t know who all remembers quad shots and bxrs but it was like a whole other game
Same thing happened to me but with Saiyan as well. Maybe we played each other lol. Same map and same thing, I would spawn and die within 3 seconds. I think I got 1-2 bursts from my be on saiyan, but he was taking my shots to get kills
Thanks for sharing!
So awesome, what nostalgia! Thanks for putting this together. Smiled the whole way through!
Man, I love this vid so much. Really takes me back to the glory days of Halo! Competing in college with the homies and all that. So good
Quality on this is crazy. Very well done.
Great video! One of my fondest memories in gaming is getting the chance to scrim Final Boss. Of course, we got absolutely stomped but it's something I will never forget.
What a wholesome documentary. Good job keeping this one alive for the fans
The Twins and synchronization with their quantum entangled like sensory perception was unmatched.
Rip to the golden era, it will forever unmatched also.
Thanks for saving this story for the depths of internet purgatory. I had never taken an interest in professional Halo but this has definitely peaked my interest. This was an awesome watch!
It's great you managed to save and reupload. Thank you for preserving this
This is so awesome! Thanks for making this.
I played Nintendo then Halo came out and from there I really turned into a gamer. OG Halo will always be my favorite. This is such a cool insight. I used to watch Ogres gameplay and try to emulate it. GOOD TIMES.
Incredible documentary! Made me so happy seeing everyone doing so well
Man seeing halo montages from this era was the best montages to this day. Something about halo 1, 2 and 3, always special but also montages. Now it's called "classic" editing. Greatest childhood
This is such as "what if" story for myself. Almost the exact same first 6 minutes. I was the halo house, always had 15+ people showing up to 4-box in freshman year of highschool. Dominated on Xbox Connect and Xlink Kai, won several tournaments around Florida. The difference was that our group didn't make the journey to Atlanta for the Halo 50k. Another team that we knew personally did go and got 2nd or 3rd, and we had beaten them regularly. Great video, thank you!
This video is awesome. Such a blast of nostalgia ❤
production level is amazing here, good stuff
Much respect for this. This was peak gaming, The release of shook Wons montage, constant Lan Parties and final boss slaying. MANNNN if i could go back for a day. Thank you for the video
Wow, that's a big part of my childhood, thanks! Awesome to watch!
I need this to be longer .. . It is so good. 👏👏
This is a fantastic documentary, great work!
Its really heartwarming to see supportive parents, at a time when being a pro gamer wasn't really a thing.
Wow great video! Thank you so much for this 😭😭😭
Will never forget playing these guys at 50k. Some of the most tense gaming experiences of my life. Great vid!
How'd you do?
This is a lesson to new parents as much as it is to aspiring young gamers. These people raised their kids in a way that when they asked them to support them in something unorthodox, Mom and Dad knew that these kids were doing what made them happy and were very good at it. Middle of nowhere, Texas dad of two young daughters here; these are parents that I seek to learn from. Bless them for their parenting, and man were they blessed by the happiness and achievements of their children. Insane story.
This the most nostalgic thing ever. Didn’t know I needed this. Thank you. Idk if he’s the best ever but maybe the most influential gamer ever. He pioneered alot of FPS culture. From the ogre twitch to strafe patterns and everything in between. Ahead of their time. They would burn twitch to the ground
The memories :* Thank you for the upload.
Thanks for reuploading this is so cool.
Thank you for preserving history!
great video and definitely well deserved to be more recognized
bro this is rad!!
this story is so nostalgic to me, because this was me when I was in high school, the story of carrying tv's to friends to play halo, lan parties, video game weekends. this was my childhood. the best years of my life
I remember hearing about these dudes all the time when I was a teen getting into Halo 3 online. These guys, bonfire and zios, i think it was, the best of the best. Cool to see an update and see him doing well
Bonfire and zios? Pistola, snipedown, Elamite, T2, lunchbox, fearitself, Roy, Walshy, Legit, neighbor, naded, bestman….
@@joshcantrell8397yeah i was like wtf
Great video, both brothers are an inspiration
I used to be on a team called FeaR and STK and the Ogres bro and Walshy were are main competitors in Halo 2. When Halo 2 came out (before the standby shenanigans), we could never beat them and we perpetually stayed 2nd behind them in the Halo rankings. Those were my favorite days of FPS, now I'm 40 and I don't have the same excitement trying to learn a new game, lol. This brought back great memories! :)
Had completely forgotten about him/final boss until this video was recommended randomly in my feed. That’s crazy. I remember playing some game battles ranked back in the day I was low key trash though
dude amazing vid, wish there was some gameplay footage
My childhood was watching these guys awesome video
I remember watching Halo 2 back on the USA network i think , it was amazing to see something i played every day after school being done in a professional level.
Man I miss playing with and against these guys. The ogre brothers are legends.
Thanks for preserving content like this, shame it gets deleted like that over corporate bs
thanks for posting this man
Halo 2 was peak Halo. Game went down hill after that.
thank you for making this
Seeing Orge 2 play in my MM game was the craziest feeling ever
Very well done and super nostalgic
Thank you for this dude.
Nostalgia at it's finest.
This video warms my Halo heart. ❤ I remember the good ol’ days.
Hands down the best documentary ever. Thank you for everything you have done for Halo. It was a time I will always cherish
the nostalgia is REAL. loved the ogres, loved final boss, loved halo. finding this video reignited something. im now playing halo again
this is phenomenal
Man, the twins were such an inspiration to me back in 03, the argument could be made whether that was a good or bad thing. However I wanted to be the OGREs, and I stopped at nothing to become one. Being able to watch the scene grow from system link to full blown global tournaments was awesome, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Tom imo will always be the goat of console gaming period.
Great documentary. We’re so lucky to have experienced H2 and H3 in their prime, there will never be a time/game like it.
These guys had a dope upbringing. Glad the parents were so chill and supportive and they really got to prosper.
Dude halo 2 was so fucking good. Man to go back.
Walshy, if you ever read this, I’m Abe. We met on Game Spy Tunnel and lived only a few miles apart in allendale. I went to your parents house and we practiced constantly. Still can’t believe you went pro man. We were all so close to glory but you’re the one who reached the mountain top.
Congrats ogre 1 and ogre 2.
Growing up in this era of gaming was amazing . I miss those feelings of getting off school to play H2 with the boys . Forever apart of my childhood ❤️
Good old days of competitive halo 2/3 with Final boss, str8 rippin, and carbon
The relationship with his twin and his other siblings just onioned my eyes. Mom and Dad have so much to be proud of, this is so cool.
As someone who had the dream to do shit like this as a kid but came a long late in my parents life (had old parents) its crazy to think if my parents were more supportive of video games at the time that I myself could have gotten to that point. But having older parents they didnt understand or much less see video games as anything other than a hobby. They supported me always but just never saw playing video games as any kind of career worth following. Which at the time is a fair point but its hard. Ill never forget the gamestop tournys we came first place in multiple times and the high school tournament we won $200 beating the best kids in our school with ease. Some of the best childhood memories I have and Ill always cherish them.
🐐 great job on this video
Watching old hall stuff is bittersweet for me. Brings some nostalgia but reminds me how old we’ve gotten 😅
I spent so many hours enjoying CE, 2 and 3 by myself online. I was never great but I have some great memories from that era. I'm 42 now and still play Infinite on the weekends and watch Halo videos. I hope the legacy continues. Halo is simply the best shooter ever made.
holy hell this video takes me back. i havent kept up with Ogre2 since Team Instinct when it was Roy, LB, Pistola, and Ogre2 and they were always a treat to watch. His whole back story tho reminds me of the good ol days, I can perfectly imagine having those friends in the burbs where you can just go chill at their place and play Halo for hours back before social media and living on your PC/phone became a normalized thing.
EDIT: I wrote the above before watching the rest of the video, glad he mentioned team instinct era :P
Not be be like, a baby but 343 needs to realize that Halo was a huge influence on not just Ogre's life but everyone's life, this was something that dug deep and its hard to dig yourself out of as a game/developer/community out of anything in between. We have continued to find this same type of love or life dedication to a game and honestly you cant find the same thing in other games or different opportunities. Realize who it is you're developing for. Realize what you're building for all these kids moving forward.
Competitive CE/Halo 2/SSB Melee were amazing times
Thanks for saving this one.
Jeez that's so sad his bro retired and left..
