As the banshee whore I am I usually get alot of hate and rage telling me to play MLG. (I used to get screamed at to play arena but I recently achieved a 1% in season 8 so I don't get told to play arena anymore, it's just MLG now.)
As a fan of MLG in Halo 3 I have no problem with playing MLG and competitive gameplay besides two things.
1: Bloom is still apparent in MLG which is pretty sloppy 343. Not happy. I liked MLG in Halo 3 because it promoted both teamwork and individual skill both in the same gametype. I remember watching an MLG event one day. (Not sure what teams or event was on) The match was Slayer Countdown. The problem is already evident here. Countdown is a god awefull map as everyone already knows. The commentator at one stage said that both teams were not linking up with theri teamwork as much as they had in other games in that MLG event, and that they were relying on individual skill. Here is the thing! Individual skill is almost by far impossible with bloom on Countdown. So that's solo skill down the drain. Now let's talk about the teamwork on countdown. The map doesn't specify whether you are on the blue side of the map or red side. That is a problem. The map is just generally harder to teamshot with a big fat retarded ship blocking everyones view. If bungie removed that ship it would relieve us of our claustrophobic feelings for the map and we would actually be able to see the whereabouts of our team and the enemy better, and most importantly be able to teamshot better.
TL,DR. How can we have individual skill without bloom? we can't!
2: There is absolutely no incentive to play competitively in MLG. The playlist is categorised as competitive (Social) so why would I be a nerd sweating my dick off in a social playlist? I personally would play MLG if 343 implemented some sort of ranking system for the playlist for some sort of incentive to play MLG. I don't care if it's 1-50 or arena style trueskill, just something to say "I'm a MLG tryhard yo and I'm not a social noob".
TL,DR:
MLG is a gametype for tryhards, hence why a ranking system should be implemented so us tryhards can brag about it on our service records.
That and I want to play MLG and I don't want to hurt my precious 9.6 social k/d lololol
No forum I am not trolling...
And we care because?
