Can't keep a good man down.

I personally like learning from better players.

But if you don't like MLG, that's fine. That's the great thing about the Halo series. There isn't a single perfect way to play the game, and it's possible to make everyone happy.

But to those of you who like it traditionally, how do you like MLG in Reach?

I personally am not a very naturally skilled player, it would seem. Nonetheless, I love watching pros play, and particularly love listening to good commentaries on good gameplay. It has helped me learn a lot about teamwork, map control, and overall gameplay strategy.

That said, I didn't particularly dig the gameplay/commentary you linked. IMHO, a commentary shouldn't simply describe the events going on in the video. I can see that stuff with my own two eyes (i.e. "now he's running around the corner... he puts some shots on that guy... he puts two grenades down that hall..." derp). I'd rather the commentator talk about what's going on in world news than narrate the video for me.

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.

It is now.

Reach in general is boring to watch.

Its not fun but can be:
1) very entertaining and
2) a very good learning experience.

I would highly advise watching either FearItself (or Fear as sometimes known) or IGotUrPistola. In my opinion they are the most untouchable players in MLG Halo history

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Posted by: Sentox6
Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

This guy does great commentary, all of his work is awesome. He does a very good job of explaining what the player is doing, and why, rather than just pointing out what's happening as it's seen.

  • 12.17.2011 9:25 PM PDT

I enjoy it.

  • 12.17.2011 9:25 PM PDT

Flash Kicks beat Armor Lock.

TheLab.

I never found any Halo MLG fun to watch.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

I'd rather be playing than watching.

New Zealand is pretty much the best place in the world.

I used to watch and even attended events in the past. BUT since Reach launched, they lack HOLY-blam!-! moments and I stopped watching them. The gameplay just doesn't make watching it fun
