MLG sucks because"its just a game,not a sport"They rely too much on button glitches and complain about people "cheating".And most of them have poor attitudes which is not "professional"at all.Gaming is not a sport,once it gets big and "professional"it begins losing that which makes it fun in the first place.Thats why MLG sucks.
I kind of agree with what you say..why doesn't mlg ever incorporate an smg gametype? fact is bungie balanced the weapons layouts very carefully on most maps and halo is about more than just skill with a br. And besides bungie and MLG are two seperate companies and it would not be ethical business wise to promote a company THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MAKING OF THE GAME.
MLG isn't just the BR. Why don't they use SMG start you ask? Well, SMG makes games basically soley about weapon control. The power weapons suddenly become the main focus. In MLG, the focus is shifted to teamwork, communication, strategy, map positioning, etc. Once the other team gets power weapons, you can counter their power weps with a good setup, and you ahve weapons that aren't as powerful as the power weps, yet give you a chance.
There's more to MLG games in all honesty. Things like cover fire and suppressing fire work. You have an SMG on BC, the other team has snipe on red base and shotty back portal, your team's at blue. With an SMG, you can do nothing but hide at blue. You can't venture into the open, and walking through portal means death. Suddenly, its less about skill, and more about who's got the weapons. With a BR on the other hand, that snipe can suppressed. You shoot at him, knowing you won't kill him, but keeping him under long enough for another teammate to get OS, or to advance the other way, and get shotty, and either attack, or try to gain control red portal with it. There's so many more little things in MLG that make it fun. getting killed because your SMG ahs no chance against a power weapon setup, will never be fun.
