Subject: why do people bash MLG?

Do people hate it because they always get beat? I'm probably one of those MLG Clowns people speak of, but i love it. the maps and gametypes are probably the best on reach, and it's a fun competetive thing to do with friends (went on with a full party of 8 and had a blast!, but i was lucky just to get that many people to play mlg at all, most of my friends are infection noobs, ex: my brother.) Do you like or dislike mlg and why? I'm curious to see why people don't like it....

Real account.

Join me as we make new friends from different communities!

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

I dislike the trolls.

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.

You answered your own question.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

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

People don't like MLG because of an extremely small portion of its community that is disrespectful and rude to casual players.

That being said, MLG is by far the most competitive matchmaking experience Reach has to offer.

Not just trolling, but many of them will talk down to players who they don't believe are at their skill level. Again, they're a vocal minority, but I've seen many casual Reach players on these forums dismiss MLG because they got flamed by one of those people.

However, many MLG players are friendly, helpful, and intelligent.

MLG is many steps above derpfault, so unless you have a good team to play with you are kind of just thrown out there against good enemies without a clue what to do. This makes it hard to get better at MLG if you have no experience (like me).

True, ive had one memorable moment when a player gave me some friendly "pro" tips. Just goes to show, not all of the Reach communtiy is bad.

Just search as a random. If you go positive, great. If you go negative, think about what you weren't doing right and what you could improve upon.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

The playlist isn't my cup of tea, but MLG knows how to host an event. Anyone who gives me free Doritos and Dr. Pepper is alright in my book.

  • 01.18.2012 4:51 PM PDT

speaking of mlg, anyone here know any tips/stratgeies on nexus? that just isn't my map.

  • 01.18.2012 4:55 PM PDT

People develop a kind of "guilt by association" mindset whenever they have a bad encounter with an "MLG player."

The thing is, anyone who repeatedly tries to trash talk his own teammates, betray for power weapons, or have xxxxxxMLGxxxx in his gamertag isn't really a professional MLG player.

Many people just automatically associate Major League Gaming with those types of poor sports.

It's a bit like judging the entire Human race based on what Hitler did.

When my team can barely get 10 kills all together and I have no communication, I'm doing everything wrong. Also, MLG is more unforgiving. I can make a small mistake like miss the head once or twice and get raped over and over.

I've done a few customs with you a while back. All I remember is that you got an exterm on Pit CTF.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

I'm probably one of those MLG Clowns people speak of, but i love it. the maps and gametypes are probably the best on reach, and it's a fun competetive thing to do with friends (went on with a full party of 8 and had a blast!, but i was lucky just to get that many people to play mlg at all, most of my friends are infection noobs, ex: my brother.) Do you like or dislike mlg and why? I'm curious to see why people don't like it....

With all due respect, you can't spell "warrior" correctly.

With all due respect, it's an inside joke that is none of your business.

One game of Reach MLG, and basing your opinion of an entire community on a parody video. Good call.

i know, but it definantly gave me a laugh.
