If you have ever complained about MLG players, you should read this. Some common issues that Matchmaking Kids have with MLG...
1.) "People take Halo way too seriously!" You would take it seriously also if you got paid to do so.
Um, even if you get paid for something, and YOU DON'T, you can still take it too seriously. Most people refer to it as "workaholic". Anytime you let something such as a job, or in your case a hobby, become destructive to other aspects of their life, sociological or psychological, it is being taken too seriously. Nice try though.
2.) "If you go to MLG tournaments, you have no life." You really can't say this if you have never been to an event. They are not nerd conventions, there are a lot of cool people and its a lot of fun.
I've been to an MLG event, actually one of the first events in Washington D.C. a couple years ago. Guess what, the vast majority of the people there were immature ass-clowns. The people actually participating in the events (with the except of one) were egotistical immature ass-clowns. Why would I believe that it has changed any in a couple years when more ass-clowns have entered the MLG community. Nice try though
3.) "Button glitches are not fair!" Button glitches are part of the game, so you can either use them to your advantage, or you can fall behind players who do use them. Your choice.
Modding is also part of the game. It is exploiting things that are already in the game in a fashion they are not suppose to be. Button glitches exploit them by pressing a series of button, modding changes the base files for characters or weaponry. They both ideally deal with things that are natively in the game. Both are cheating! I'd rather lose a fair game then win by cheating. Grow a brain, if you had any self-respect, you would realize that modding and exploiting glitches are not that far apart. Nice try though.
4.) "MLG is boring becuase all you use is BR." This is so far from true. Carbines, Snipers, Rocket Launchers, and other weapons are found in MLG gametypes.
MLG takes out weapons that they see as being less skillful. However, if you were truly a skilled player, I would imagine that you would be able to compete against a wide variety of weaponry without requiring them to be removed. Don't want to get 'sprayed and prayed'? Don't go near someone with a dual. Not that hard of a concept. Don't want to get sword-whored? Don't go near him. It's not exactly difficult. However, MLG feels that the reduction of variety increases the "depth" of the game. Yeah, that makes sense... MLG believes that the drastic destruction of weapons balance adds balance to the game. Yeah, that makes sense....Nice try though
5.) "It's not fair when everyone starts out with a BR." Wrong. What's not fair is when you spawn with a worthless SMG and have no way of defending yourself against an enemy that has a power weapon.
Don't die and allow the other team to control all the power weapons. I thought you kids were suppose to be skilled. If you lack the amount of skill required of keeping the other team from controlling all the "power weapons" I'm pretty sure you should lose. As with spawning with a SMG. You do realize that if you kill the other team...that...they...will...spawn...with...a...SMG!! Holy hell, sounds fair to me. If you kill them, they spawn with an SMG, if they kill you, you should spawn with a SMG. Not a difficult concept. Nice try though
6.) "MLG people are jerks, they think they are better than everyone else." That's becuase we are better than everyone else. Nice try though.
No, no you're not. You are not better than every other Halo 2 player. Now, if you were the Ogres or such, maybe I might say that you have some room to brag, and then me pity you since you're wasting your life on a video game. Oh, and the VAST and I mean VAST majority of MLG kids are ass-clowns. No other community in the over-all Halo community is nearly as hated as MLG. Not even KSI. No other community in the overall Halo community has lead to an increase in cheating in MM as much as MLG has. No other community promotes the use of glitches/cheats in MM as MLG does. Should I continue? Nice try though[/i]
7.) "People who play MLG don't have any skill, they just use cheap weapons and glitches." Take a look at these stats...

Notice my kills compared to other people's? It's called skill. I know, I know, it's only 2 games. But my OVERALL Kill/Death ratio (+1.6169) is probably higher than most of the people who are reading this.
And here I thought that MLG kids weren't suppose to brag about their stats and especially not their K/D ratio because it shows how truly bad they are. I mean, I've seen that exact line posted countless times on this forum and others. I think my K/D ratio is around 1.25; and I'm a casual player, so your K/D ratio is nothing even close to spectacular.
I'm not trying to show off, I'm not trying to flame, and I'm not trying to be a jerk by making this thread. I'm trying to say that people who complain about button glitches really need to shut up, people who think MLG is unfair need a reality check, and people who think that MLG players are jerks need to grow some balls.
The people that complain about button glitches have a legitimate complaint. Bungie and XBL say its cheating. If you use them in MM, you are cheating. You have NOTHING valid or even remotely intelligent to try to counter that. Now, if MLG wants to allow rampant glitch exploitation in their tournaments, good for friggin' them, I couldn't care less. Just don't try to pass off your retarded version of the gameplay as the "superior, more skillful" approach. Now, i don't think MLG is unfair, I think it is a ridiculous dumb way to approach a game and it's gameplay. And I know for a fact that MLG players are jerks. No other community in the over-all Halo community contains nearly as many ass-clowns as the MLG community does. It's ironic because some of the moderators at MLG's own forum dislike the VAST majority of the kids that come there. As soon as HBO or RCG start promoting cheating or say that *THEY* know what is better for Halo than Bungie does, I'll believe that MLG kids aren't ass-clown. Nice try though
One more thing... people on these Bungie.net forums seem to lump "Button Glitchers," "Superbouncers," "Standby'ers," and "Boosters" all into one category of "cheaters." To even compare using button glitches to superbouncing or standbying is a complete joke. Honestly, duel-wielding is more unfair that button glitches.
That's all,
Pulser
See, thing is...they are all forms of cheating. And they all prove that you cannot play the game the way it was intended. If your teamwork or strategy is truly superior than the other teams, you wouldn't need glitches/exploits to win, now would you? The problem with you MLG kids is your attitude. And you all seem to have it. I've seen people who were once humble people on these forums become corrupted by the MLG attitude. So much so that I would never associate myself with them. I'd LOVE to hear your premises for your argument that dual-wielding is more unfair that animation glitches. Go ahead kid, try...I'd love to laugh at you more than I currently am.
Before you post, "that's all" maybe you should post something substantive first...
~B.BFirst of all, thank you for being the first person to compose a remotely readable and intelligent post. While I have to say that all of your arguments are completely hollow in my opinion, I would at least like to give you credit for posting something well-written and intelligently thought out.
As for "button glitching" being considered "cheating" by Bungie, I have two responses for that.
1.) Honestly, I don't give a damn what Bungie consideres "cheating." I play by the MLG rulebook, and that's it. I consider Superbouncing cheating, but many people do not. However, according to MLG it is.
2.) I don't need "button glitches" to be good. I use button glitches frequently, but if they didn't exist, I would still be able to out-skill and out-think the majority of casual players who play Matchmaking.
