Ok good job, you know walshy. He was on the most dominant team of all time (Final Boss). Now when Halo 3 came out. Final Boss won the first tournament, they got like 7th in the second tournament, and 4th in the third. You know what happens, they kick walshy out. How can you kick someone out after 4 years of dominance and only two bad tourneys? In Halo 2, only three teams won an MLG event (STR8 Rippin) (CARBON) and (FINAL BOSS). So let me get this right… because neither STR8 Rippin, Carbon or Final Boss have ever won a tournament within Halo 3, this somehow justifies the inconsistency of such a game? An inconsistency that could only be explained by the BR having a disadvantage to allow balance within a mixed set up of weaponry? I love how you just pulled that golden nugget out of your ass.
Now, I ask you this. Do you play for Final Boss? And have any knowledge as to the reasons for Walshys departure from Final Boss? No, you haven’t the slightest clue. (yes, I answer for you because I already knew it. )
Couldn’t there somehow be different logical reasons as to why walshy left? Maybe personal reasons perhaps? Family reasons? Health reasons? Maybe he decided to get a “real” job?
Only in your mind could you relate his departure (if anyone really cares) to a meager spread issue that relieves the BR from its dominance over all other weapons.
For the record, I don’t know if walshy really left, nor do I care, I’m just going by what this marsupial has said.
Halo 2 was out for 3 years before Halo 3 came out. There has only been 3 events and 3 different teams have won it. Doesn't that show how inconsistent the game is, and that all starts with the BR.The unthinkable has happened! I can no longer use the same halo 2 strategies within halo 3! Oh miy gowds! Nice golden nugget you have there…
Three different teams won it… hmm. Maybe they are just better teams, I see no inconsistently with that.
I still see no logic as to why the BR spread has screwed up some of the top teams within the MLG.
Its so much harder to hold setups in Halo 3, the winner is basically who is more aggressive.So skill is not associated toward aggressiveness? Such a subjective understanding.
Holding setups isn’t the only strategy in Halo 3 and as to why you believe this is beyond me.
Like I said, why cant they just tweak the BR, just for the MLG playlist and leave everything else alone? and everybody would be happy. Shakespeare, how are you gonna say anything when you haven't even played halo 3.Because only 5000 people at the most each day ever play MLG. Out of the thousands that play ranked slayer and social slayer.
3 years of Halo 2=3 teams won MLG tournaments
3 tournaments of Halo 3=3 teams won MLG tournaments
How does that not equate to inconsistency to you? Seems pretty damn random to me. The problem there is the focus on the team and teamwork rather than individual skill. In Halo 2 one player could decide a match. Walshy wasn't called "captain clutch" for nothing. The kid was insane when it came to individual achievement. Halo 3 doesn't focus so strongly on individualism, and in order to win the game you MUST work with your teammates. This is why Walshy is no longer the best in the world, and is also why Final Boss decided to drop him.
The problems with the BR are real, but they did not cause the demise of Final Boss.
Skill is not based solely on how aggressive or passive you play. There are many factors that paint a picture of one's true skill. Teamwork IS the only way to win when you get up to the higher levels of competition. Setups are a part of teamwork, and the ability to hold these setups is what separates the men from the boys.
Tweaking anything in MM is a rediculous idea. The BR in the MLG playlist is not MLG's BR. It's Bungie's. Leave it alone. What would be nice, however, is if they put customizeable weapons into forge for custom games. Let the players tweak ALL the weapons how they see fit.
