Subject: MLG in Reach is actually pretty damn good

People who actually hate this game stopped playing a long time before they put any time into the game.

You're just frustrated with it.

And getting myself destroyed in MLG will make me enjoy Reach?

I have four choices in Reach.

Play alone in normal matchmaking beating randoms and being frustrated by it's -blam!-.

Play in a party in normal matchmaking beating random and being frustrated by it's -blam!-

Play alone in MLG getting myself destroyed by players that outclass me

or

play in a party in MLG getting destroyed by players that outclass me.

Which of those sounds like fun?

1. You're taking it a little too seriously.

2. Not everyone in MLG will outclass you.

1. Beating randoms isn't fun.

2. Everyone I've played in MLG so far has severely outclassed me. I guess having one game eventually being against people as bad as me will make up for the many more times I will definitely face people much better than me.

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.

There are ups and downs to Reach vs 3 MLG. Individual skill emphasis was more entertaining to watch, but Reach MLG takes so much team coordination that it's more of the team game it should be for a prize-money competition setting. It's also entertaining in its own right. I started watching MLG during Reach and so it's all kind of new to me.

Then get better - MLG will give you more skill.

Play Arena. At least with it's fixed settings, it's less bad and will offer you less 'bad randoms' to beat on.

You sound like me a few months ago.

In what way though? I can't get better. I'm trash at this game and MLG only magnifies that.

Ask someone better than you to help you.

Getting down on yourself won't help anything.

but bookshelf, there only so much RC Clone can do until he hits that ceiling of individual skill where teamwork comes into a huge play.

No matter what 'ceiling' he thinks he has hit, he can still improve drastically - but if he mentally blocks himself then he'll never get over the hump.

Team work and positioning can be taught and are a huge part of being a good player. I can't make anyone a good individual player - that's something that practice is needed for. However I can and have taught several people team work, map movements etc - and they're much better players now because of it.

The commercial that inspired my name:

Wizards Never Die

Clone, send me a F/R. Yes, you may do bad in customs, but I'm pretty sure there's a saying "you have to fail to succeed." No one instantly does good when they first start.

Plus, if you're on my team, I'll try and give you advice. Keep in mind, though, that it's limited to my skill level. As in, you'd be better off listening to whale or sanuel than me, but it's better than nothing.

  • 01.18.2012 12:47 PM PDT

Wizard's right. I pass on a lot of what I've learned from San, Whale, and especially Viper. Viper helped me more than anyone I've ever played with.

Meh, I've tried MLG a few times on Reach, doesn't seem all that interesting.

I realize now that going in solo was asking for suicide, I aren't doing that again.

Your opinion is invalid.

Positioning and movement can always be improved. Even I still have a long way to go in that aspect before I consider myself "good".

At least you got people willing to help you no matter what it takes.

If it was me, I'll get a "F**k off" message instead. Take these chances while they are still available, you'll regret it otherwise.

You can ask the kind posters here for help also you know.


Also fine guys. I'll try to get better in Reach,




-blam!-. 9 days. 9 mother -blam!- days.

You act like improving on Reach is a bad thing.

You can take most things from Halo game to game.

It's not improving in Reach. It's playing Reach.

I can't wait for Sanuel to be on me for playing again after the thread I made earlier.

Nah, I aren't going to bother, I don't fit well with full parties. Never did, never will. Besides, you know most of these posters better than I do.

If I tagged alone, I am more of an liability than a help. I really can't afford to take that chance and piss people off. I prefer to go solo.

Look at the brightside, you'll be in full swing before you know it and these kind folk will make sure of that. Anyway good luck Clone.

Most of the people posting don't care how bad you are as long as you are okay to talk with while they are playing.

If that's one of your reasons for regretting coming back, then lol.

I did the same as you but for longer, and nothing happened. You're thinking too far into it.

Reach is a good game now - and in the non stupid playlists, a lot of fun.
