And to clarify this; MLG is only asking for Bungie to throw them a bone..not the whole dog house. Compared to what Bungie has given the Bungie.net forum community, Bungie has given nothing to MLG. In fact the only thing I can think of is Forge and Foundry so we don't have to play their god-awful maps[yes, that is a hyperbole]. All MLG wanted,for example, at MINIMUM was an ACCURATE remake of lockout, but Bungie even ruined that by making it overtexted and eliminating key set up positions. Even though I know my argument will never get through the ignorance that is Bungie, it is fun seeing these people with horrible arguments crumble under my walls of text.
I love the BR in Halo 3, why? Because it is the best, most accurate, skillful weapon in Halo 3 (sniper excluded). It is the primary weapon that i use. Just as the Pistol in Halo 1 was, and the BR in Halo 2 was...
But does that mean i'm content with the Halo 3 BR? No. The inconsistency in the spread is frustrating. And imo, it would be better if there was no spread at all, but instead making a small variance in how all 3 bullets in on burst vary compared to the next burst (i.e., making it like the one bullet in the Halo 1 pistol, of which bullets has some degree of variance).
Now about the comment that Bungie hasn't given anything to the MLG, competitive community. I disagree...
Bungie has given use forge, which is a huge plus in customizing the game to how we like to play. More individual weapon customization would have been nice, but what they did give was very good.
They have also thus far given use two competitive maps back: Blackout and Cold Storage. And while some might disagree on their faithfulness of remaking these maps, Bungie still had good intent to give back to the competitive community. And in all fairness, they are not that bad.
To be completely honest, when I was creating that thread I initially put the part about Forge in there, but took it out after reading over it. And as for Blackout being a competitive map...It is ok, but it is not what we wanted. But to the part about Cold Storage, I can't say anything about it because I have not played it, and quite frankly don't even care to. But honestly, how does2-3 things given to MLG, no, not even MLG, the whole COMMUNITY, compare to what Bungie has given to their Bungie.net community. Think about it. Forge is a great tool for MLG players to get away from Bungies horrible map designs, but even then MLG hasn't got what they wanted.[I could go on forever about that detail.] And Blackout and Cold Storage? Come on..everyone wanted those remakes, and even though Bungie said they had the competative community at mind, they completely ruined it for us.
All in all though I can see your point, and as i am reading over this I can see that I got really off the topic of BR. So to jump back on-board..fix the BR!
edit: I guess I did post the bit about forge..thanks Atomic
