Will Halo Reach be able to support MLG games? Do you think it will have a forge mode?

Hopefully MLG will at least slightly die off before then. Sadly it will more than likely only grow, and continue to poison Halo.

Yes, otherwise all the MLG wannabees wouldn't buy it. (no offense to ACTUAL MLG players)

MLG does not "poison halo it just makes it more competitive. If you do not like the competitive side of Halo that is ok. I understand, some people would rather have more fun than seriousness.

MLG is not poison. I don't play MLG but I recognize they are the last thing keeping Halo from becoming Halo Kart or Super Smash Bros Halo. Get over yourself. If Bungie balanced everything and made it less casual they probably wouldn't make such outlandish game requests.

I don't know, but it won't have the Battle Rifle, if it's taking from Halo CE which didn't so no BxR'ing.

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

What? There is a BR in H3 and you can't BXR people. Although there are multiple easy button glitches in CE o.O

But on a serious note, chances are if Reach is popular, which it will be no matter what, MLG will support it. MLG doesn't really support competitive games, they support popular games because that's really all they can afford to do. If it has forge, which I'm assuming it would because taking away features is just wrong, it will be MLG's new headlining game.

I kind of wish that wasn't the way MLG operated. To be perfectly honest I would be much more happy if MLG dropped H3 as a game and picked up Shadowrun again or they could somehow bring back H:CE, I'd even settle for H2. But money makes the world go round so that's not about to happen.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I wouldn't mind more options for both single and multiplayer.

Most MLG haters don't hate MLG cause it's competitive it's because you try to justify that it's pure competition, but the truth is there is no fair fight and if you can't use exploits it's not a competition it's a who can use the BR better fight.

Regardless if MLG supports Halo, I don't think they have any influence over why Halo hasn't become Halo Kart. Your criticism = fail.

I thought bringing back the AR poisoned halo, but I wouldn't just go out and SAY that. That would would be unprofessional.

So shut the -blam!- up.

The criticism was ok, but the flame was really unnecessary.

actually, I changed my mind your criticism is unfound because you naturally assumed that BOB570 is pro-AR simply because he is anti-MLG. Nowhere does he clearly state a preference for the AR or BR. So why don't you just cool it for a second or 10 before you decide to be a d1ck just because someone made an unsupported comment that you disagree with.

There is a distinct difference between elitist and serious. If you have ever met someone doing ANYTHING related to MLG you can usually smell the "I think I'm better than you" all over them, and it smells bad. However, if people want to turn a fun activity into a job and feel important for excelling at something that doesn't matter then by all means let them. This is not a hit at you either, I just hate MLG because in my opinion it ruins the spirit of gaming.

Hopefully if MLG becomes interested with Reach, they will at least use basic logic and reason when designing their game types instead of random whims so that people might actually take them seriously.

I mean, if you look at their arguement for why the AR is not in MLG, I can take each one of their points and completely counter every one. They could have just said "we want the skill be be obvious for our viewers so we chose weapons that even an idiot can see the skill gap between weak players and strong players instead of using weapons where the skill gap is subtle but just as dramatic."

Honestly.

They made a lot of stupid decisions with H3 MLG. I really couldn't care less if the AR is in there or not, I still wouldn't use it because there are better close range weapons on every MLG map then the AR and more important power weapons to pick up.

I think they didn't put the AR into MLG because it was more about entertainment and the way you have to use the AR isn't really entertaining to watch. Not to mention its a selfish gun and you can't team shoot with it unless your right up on someone.

That, and I don't like the 110% damage. The only reason that was put into MLG settings is because its harder to 4 shot on XBL than LAN because... well its XBL and not LAN.

Elitists aren't only competitive players. Take a look in the mirror.
