My 2v2 was scheduled for 3:00 EST, but due to my teammate having to go the hospital or something, it'll be later tonight. Probably like 8:00 pm EST... we'll be on all night, though.

Wow I'm so lazy to even read this. Not to consider the math this person wentt into doing this. Oh there is a .05 second lag in the game thats important. This form is just a way for people like me just to waste time

There's a noticable difference between a screen with 5ms delay, and a screen with say 20ms delay.

I realize it doesn't seem like much, but it is annoyingly noticeable. You'll notice it when your crosshairs are not matched up with how you move your thumbstick.

On a side note, at Meadowlands this year, people were in an uproar because the hotel's TV's had terrible delay. Like 30ms. You dont want to be in a closed building of competitive gamers who have to deal with screens with bad delay. It instantly became the talk of the lobby, and what everyone was complaining about at breakfast.

Why do you have all the MLG equipment, but don't play MLG?

Why do you have all the MLG equipment, but don't play MLG?


When I played MLG a lot, I played GameBattles mostly. Less lag, tougher competition, and I can see my position on the ladder. Over the summer, though, one of my teammates moved a few states away for college reasons. My team's main advantage was that we all lived relatively close to eachother, so sometimes we'd all meet up on the weekend, and simulate the MLG Event experience, by hooking up 2 screens side by side, with 2 people per screen (standard Open Bracket setup), and we'd all hook our mixamps up and play. It gave us good practice before events.

Now that our teammate has left, we cannot make it to Dallas. But I hope to have recruited a new member soon to start practicing for the next event.

So that's why I am fully prepared for MLG gaming sessions, but just dont. Sure, I'll go into the playlist every so often with just a couple teammates, but the experience just isn't the same. There is nothing quite like pitting a team who knows eachother and has had months of experience playing together to know the ups and downs of every map, and how and when to setup against another team of equal skill. That's where competitive gaming takes place. That's where I love to be, and hope that I get there again someday soon.

funny because when im in the far reaches of the freakin cold north i have only one teamate with me every now and then and since him and i stopped playin we have gotten rusty(which we discovered 4 hours ago) we stopped playin because our two other freinds had left the state amd crossed over canada into new york so yeah. we had the same thing goin 4 T.V.s all online and we were beast. until two over peaple moved till they comeback nextweek so when they return after warming back up and break our rusty selves we will be back online, ready to kick ass like we used too. damn i cant wait for swat and team snipers we were unstopable. :P

Pls stop inviting me for your groups I don't want to join any group!

Nice thread and some nice tips. I think I will start playing LW again after I have my 1200exp and see how far I can get.

I know that he will definitely not sell his account w/ Recon, that is also a 50 General, to you. I'm Pretty sure that SHADOWSTRIKE1 is his main account.

That's a great example of the MLG experience. I've never been to an event but hopefully they will have an MLG Charlotte so i can drive down. I watched your youtube stuff and the video with all of your messages I think it was a glitch. It happened to me, where every message I had ever received came up on the notifications. BTW not tryin to be a stalker but your voice sounds familiar to me.

On a note more specific to the thread, I hate being a brig. I'm so close to a 50 in so many playlists but I'm never lucky and any good teammates I have don't last or can't connect due to my NAT :(

Doctor Per

What would you say is the MLG level where you would think a person could get to 50 in another playlist? I'm trying to determine some kind of equivalency. My friend says 40, and if you get to 45 you're definitely able to get a 50.

i Was A brigadier general about 6-7 weeks ago and i still managed to get two 50s, in doubles and slayer, even though i lost my slayer one. =[

We aren't here to ruin your experience (Well Qbix is).

One question, say you get a 50 in any playlist, do you keep that 50 forever or will it eventually go down as you lose games?

SHADOWSTRIKE1 is indeed my main account, which I have had since the day Xbox LIVE was released. I will not ever sell any of my accounts. I've been offered thousands of MS points, tons of up front paypal payments, and someone has even offered me $600 of up front money. I've not responded to any message as I will accept no offer.

Did you read the thread Opening Your NAT For Dummies? It's helped a good bit of people.

Your "Highest Skill" will always remain a 50, but you can still go down in the playlist.

For example, you get a 50 in Team Slayer. Now, on your service record, it says "Highest Skill: 50". Now, if you were to play another game of Team Slayer, and lose, your level may drop back to a 49. However, your Service Record will say your highest skill is still a 50, and you will still retain your General status.

On a side note, I'll be playing a little bit of doubles tonight with my teammate, and we're both pretty tired from a LAN party last night, and we'll most likely not be in the mood for too many ranked games, so if anyone is in the mood for some 2v2 MLG customs, send a message over to SHADOWSTRIKE1 saying your up for it.
