Subject: Why do I suck so much at MLG?!

Serious question for a serious forum.

I joke.

But I am ready to deal with the waves of trolls and hope someone can give some pointers for MLG, or at least care to explain why exactly it plays SO differently from other playlists.

I know i'm not pR0 and not one of Halo Reaches best players, but based on my k/d and rating after the majority of slayer games, weather it be Team Slayer, Big Team Battle,
TU Beta, Double Team etc, I seem to be better than the average Halo Reach player. I say majority because I obviously do have bad matches.

However as soon as I jump on MLG I feel like a powerless vegetable being controlled by a retarded 4 year old. I spawn and I get killed in seconds, even when I stick with my team. DMR battles go horrendously and they take me out at the speed of light, even though my DMR is completely fine and accurate in other playlists? I literally feel like I don't stand a chance.

Play with a team. Learn the weapons and spawns on the map.

There is no problem that cannot be solved with a shotgun, or a flamethrower, or a spartan laser, or a... you know what? Never mind.

Well, in all honesty, some of the people that play mlg literally spend hours honing their skill with the DMR. On certain maps whoever gets the most kills usually depends on who starts shooting first.

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

No, it's probably just because you suck.

Thats interesting, why the difference then to other playlists? Would it have to do with the change in settings? Most of the time in Team Slayer I manage to out DMR a player even if they've started shooting me first.

I forgot to mention strafing. You need to do it and learn to counter other players' strafe.

  • 10.30.2011 6:25 PM PDT

Do it already, but I am trying to learn to be more adaptive at strafing and mix it up rather than pattern it.

DerpRoids: It's what happened to 90% of the Reach forums.

My stats yo.

Your DMR will be off at first as the movement speeds are higher in MLG, also you will do worse because MLG does not allow for noob tactics to be used, it's raw skill all the way kiddo.

  • 10.30.2011 6:30 PM PDT

You are probably matching 50 5 stars in Halo 3's MLG.

  • 10.30.2011 6:30 PM PDT

Go watch some MLG matches. You can learn a lot by just watching how the pros play. Listen to how they communicate as well.

Edit: Also pay attention to what the commentators are saying.

Default and MLG are 2 diffrent animals

MLG you run faster, take more damage, and jump higher.

There is also cheap tactics or second chances like camo or AL AA

From my experience, I can jump around top mid on any map in default like TS or squad and poop all over them.

MLG you actually have to think of where to go and having a good shot helps.

Overall I would say stick to playing MLG for like a week or something and depending on how much you play you play you will see improvement in you shot and definitively you awareness (no radar in MLG) whenever you go back to default (full of bs IMO)you will wonder how the other team has thumbs

So how about playing a playlist that doesn't have them?

Oh wait, this is B.net, where the logical solution just doesn't cut it, I guess.

B.net, where the best solution to a problem is to ignore it.

Don't bother playing the playlist until a team can only match another team, or until bloom is removed.

  • 10.30.2011 8:42 PM PDT

Aim for the head.

  • 10.30.2011 8:48 PM PDT

i dont really play it, but i learned its the only playist i wouldnt search alone. team is key. also learn the spawns and weapons on the map.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Welcome to my world, OP.

I don't think I've had a positive MLG game yet, although I have won a few.

inb4 ur bad

You don't have to tell me; I know.

Which would make him... *gasp!* a human who contributes to the outside world!

Burn the witch!

Do you want a chance? Are you eager to spend hours of energy memorizing layouts, timetables, and scenarios that will become obsolete within the next year? Are you dissatisfied being a solid gamer who can be a strong asset to a team instead of an MLG player who considers teamwork and social interaction "quaint?"

If you do, good luck. But I hope you count your blessings before throwing away time.

Put a Slayer game and a CTF 3-5 game in your file share.

I`ll PM you and let you know.

You do realize MLG revolves around teamwork, right?

He`s a retard. Don`t worry.

1. needle rifle killing enemies with body shots and accurate 2. try and stay on higher floors so you can maintain accuracy and get the first shot
3. downloaqd the map to local files and study the heavy weapons and possible camping spots. hopefully this helps you out.neddles rifles FTW
