RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

I love MLG, it used to be my life. :p That was like 3 years ago though, I didn't think this controversy was still in existence.

If you're against eSports, I don't understand how you can call yourself a gamer.

A little competition never hurt anyone, MLG wants to bring Halo to the next level. By not supporting them, you're holding Halo back.
Or in other words:Posted by: nickyfour92
BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!- BULL-blam!-


Why is what I am saying BS?

To be honest, MLG gamers like Halo a lot more than all of you do. Why? Because they love Halo so much they enjoy watching other people play it.

Don't take the things I say out of context, obviously I'm not trying to make this into a contest of "who likes Halo more", but what I'm saying is true.

Sundance DiGiovanni is trying to get Halo and Starcraft onto ESPN for God's sake. If you love Halo, how isn't that idea so exciting to you?
First off, a whole group/community such as MLG do not love Halo anymore than regular/casual players. Frankly people who play MLG spend way too much time playing the same game over and over and don't spend any time playing other games, and as a result, casual gamers (such as myself) don't have as much fun playing a game of team slayer when they constantly run into clans full of low lifes who spend too much time playing Halo and try to dominate everyone they play to make casual gamer's play time less enjoyable. There's a reason for an MLG playlist. Personally I think MLG gamers should mind their own business and play in a playlist where they belong, rather than destroying noobs in team slayer in order to prove that their better than people who don't play as much Halo. You see, I can prove I'm good without having to change my status to MLG or join a group of strangers who don't have any real life friends and sadley sit in their base all day cursing in lobbies and making themselves seem like blam!holes!

That is my argument!


Where is your evidence to support that MLG players don't play other games? Back when I played gamebattles a lot, in between matches I would play Jenga Tower on Standoff. A lot of people have the misconception that MLG players and pros ONLY play MLG, which could not be farther from the truth. That is what they play the most, but they still play other gametypes.

You're view on the MLG community is very ignorant and I'm sorry you have it, but you're wrong.

Dude that was so 3 years ago.
Yeah... The annoying MLG fanboys pretty much died off when Reach came out.
Well there's nickyfour.

Who considers anyone who doesn't 100% support MLG not to be a "real" gamer.


Already said that I was wrong in saying that, but you can keep ignoring the actual point of my argument and continue focusing on the one hyperbole I used.

Ok, maybe that one statement was a bit harsh, but how is anything else I said wrong?

The fact is that the MLG community loves Halo. They travel the country just to watch it and take time out of their weekend to watch the streams.

Disliking the goal of MLG or MLG community for that is childish. Be more tolerant of the things that people enjoy.
The MLG community doesn't love Halo, MLG is simply an enviroment created to house competitions, it has no real perference to Halo it just chose it due to it's popularity.

Similar to how it chose CoD and StarCraft.
At the core these are not competitive games, they weren't really made around that purpose, but then it ignores games like Shadowrun, that are made for that purpose.


MLG just saw a niche, then filled it.
As for MLG loving Halo, I find that hard to believe given that whenever any new Halo is released commonly the -blam!-storm of "THIS GAME SUCKS" always seems to originate from the MLG crowd.
(The biggest ones anyway)


MLGs goal is simply to get money from people watching people play video games, the goal of the MLG community is to convert anyone who doesn't love MLG, that's hardly tolerant now is it?

To be fair, you used many.



I'm sorry man it's just, you justified all my reasoning to hate MLG in just two posts.
That's really dreadful.

And be quick about it!

This thread brings back memories of my early days on Bungie.net, I haven't seen an MLG related thread in years!

Yeah, once I was being trashed by one of them "xXMLGPR0zXx" and he challenged me to a 1v1 and went to that BS BR dome and he wrecked me there. I said, 'okay now lets go to a real map with regular weapons and gametype' to him and he agreed. I wasted him there, so hard he quit the game.

It shows that he was only skilled in one area, BR spamming.

There really is nothing to say to this other than you're wrong. You don't know the mindset of those who watch and play MLG. You really think that members of the community would fly around the country for a game they didn't love?

Watch this video and see how passionate they are about Halo and how upset they are by how the MLG community is dying for Halo. Starcraft is an incredibly competitive game and MLG makes up a very, very, very small percentage of the competitive Starcraft scene. To say it isn't a competitive game is foolish. Read this and maybe even read up on how incredible Day[9] is as a person, so much so that he was added to Forbes' 30 under 30 list.

Obviously MLG wants to make money, they're a business. But the fact is that they could drop Halo now and continue to succeed with the viewers and sponsors from Starcraft, CoD, and LoL. They refuse to do that though. Why? Because they love Halo. Sundance loves Halo and would never take it off the circuit (which he said in an interview, but I can't find it).

Wouldn't it be silly if I said that Bungie doesn't love Halo they just wanted to make money?

Personally, I have nothing against MLG players. They are people just like us but they take games seriously becuase some get paid to win games competitively. So I hold no grudge against them.

Halo Reach is for noobz, no battle rifle LOL bungie what were you thinking?


This is funny, because even though you're trying to condescending in a kidding sort of way, what you said is true.

No bloom DMR = mini sniper with infinite range

Bloom DMR = frustrating weapon based way too heavily on lucky which diminishes the skill gap which is what kept people playing through Halo 2 and 3.

Careful now, you don't want to include every single MLG player under that umbrella-ella-ella, eh. Some take games a bit more serious than your average gamer simply because they love the competition. They know they'll never make any money off of it, they just like to compete against similar opponents.

Just like how all "casual" gamers don't ride mongeese around the entire game.

Have you ever actually won an argument? You just put words in people's mouths and refuse to provide a counter-argument further detailed than "lol ur wrong mlg isnt even halo".
There's a reason why you have a reputation on these forums of being incredibly close-minded and quite frankly stupid.


Lol, this.

I don't have a problem with MLG.

I have a problem with what it has done to gaming and the people involved with it. And also to the people who think their opinions are better than others strictly because they play MLG (really) or in a MLG playlist.

I don't hate MLG players. If you MLG game, more power to you.

But I HATE when people try and force the stuff down my throat. Like wanting to make games more "MLG", harassing users becuase they like playing Infection, and all that stuff. I have met some pretty one-way-track MLG players that believe the only way to have ANY fun in halo is to check your k/d every 3 seconds and play MLG snipers on Lockout all day.

I think people should people should be able to play any game any way they see fit as long as it is not hacking into the game and going into multiplayer with infinite ammo and god mode enabled.

Also the fact that many people claiming to be MLG are total posers.

Ken pretty much sums it up for me.

Wait...so the MLG community doesn't love because the MLG corporation chose halo for its popularity? How does that make any sense? Of course the community loves halo, otherwise very few in the community would play it. Despite what you may think, people in the community who play Halo generally enjoy playing it. Shocking, I know.


Similar to how it chose CoD and StarCraft.
At the core these are not competitive games, they weren't really made around that purpose, but then it ignores games like Shadowrun, that are made for that purpose.

Starcraft is not competitive? You mean one of the greatest competitive games of all time? Are you kidding? Not all games are equally suited for competition, but to say that Halo -- and especially Starcraft -- are not competitive games is insane.


As for MLG loving Halo, I find that hard to believe given that whenever any new Halo is released commonly the -blam!-storm of "THIS GAME SUCKS" always seems to originate from the MLG crowd.
(The biggest ones anyway)

Why do you think many people complain about Halo? Because they are passionate about it and don't want to see it diminish. Of course everyone's opinion of what Halo should be is different, but the point is that most people aren't complaining about (and playing) halo because they hate it, but because they care deeply about it.


MLGs goal is simply to get money from people watching people play video games, the goal of the MLG community is to convert anyone who doesn't love MLG, that's hardly tolerant now is it?

No, that wouldn't be tolerant. Good thing it's not at all true. Of course they want to become as popular as possible, but that's a far cry from trying to convert everyone to their style of play.
