I'm getting wrecked in MLG, no biggie but I am having trouble controlling the dmr. I'm playing a 4 sens so it's not that fast. Any tips?

Well first of all, you need to buy Astro A40's and some Gunnars. Do you have those?

  • 12.12.2011 9:19 PM PDT

I'm not gonna buy that crap, I can hear just fine. I just want some tips on how to control the dmr

You'll never be good at MLG unless you buy some Astro A40's and some Gunnars.

Also: Searching alone and lone wolfing it won't help you get better. Your aim will most likely improve, and your baiting tactics will probably be amazing, but you will never be considered good or even halfway decent if you search alone almost exclusively. Get a group of friends together and try to search as a full party whenever you can. Try to get used to playing as a team. Disregard your k/d and play for the win.

No, that's why I'm not good at MLG.

I play on a 30" monitor with little itty bitty speakers on the side and I do fairly well in MLG. Sound really isn't all that important when you can barely hear footsteps in Reach anyways.

Don't lie. All the pros wear Astro A40's and Gunnars. Coincidence? I think not.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

They also use 22-24" monitors, too. I think that's enough evidence to conclude that Sanuel is bad at MLG.

Oh -blam!- yeah, I have a 22" monitor. I'm gonna be so good at MLG after this Christmas.

  • 12.12.2011 9:29 PM PDT

I can hear everything fine. I know going in alone is bad but I still want to learn how to aim. These guys strafe like monkeys and its hard to land a head shot.

All you can really do is play more. Only real "trick" I can think of for developing aim is to play on 10 sens for a while. When you can control that, return to 3-4 and you'll find you're probably better.

Thing is, I have a decent shot (despite what my stats might indicate), but I get utterly raped in MLG. Teamwork and mental game is where it's at.

Haven't heard about or seen the update for MLG. Are all the playlists now ZB?

Thanks, I played on The Pit 5 times in a row and the custom powerup didn't work not even once. I'd get it and and get no OS. I would die like I normally would.

Custom powerup gives you extra tougness. not shields.

That's a load of crap. What were they thinking?

It gives you reduced damage. You can take a ton of bullets.

You should never put yourself in a position where you can get teamshot. If you realize you're about to get teamshot, dip out and take an alternate route unless you have a teammate nearby. Otherwise, you'll just get melted.

As silly as I'm sure this sounds to better players, my biggest issue in MLG is I really just don't know what to do. I'm not being facetious, I understand the objectives of the gametypes, but in terms of optimal map positioning and knowing when and where to push, I struggle a lot. I generally end up just mindlessly wandering into engagements.

That's one time where I wish I had sprint.

Exactly the same. I know call-outs but I almost always end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

hoesntly i was really bad at MLG when i first started playing. I think when i fierst started playing MLG i choke a lot beacuse it has a different feeling to it like it puts more stress i guess you could say. But after a while you get used to it and just play like you normallywould. Play some octagon as well it will warm u up so u are ready for some hardcore gaming. also going in with friends that are good and know what they are doing will help as well. I hope this helped but i was crap at it as well but just start playing it more and youll get better. i was lucky if i got a double in a game but know i get 1 every game and a triple or overkill if im lucky. i got my second extermination today pretty cool lol
