I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

Well I did.

First round I went -1... not TOO bad I thought.

After that...

I was roflstomped. HARD.

Although I will say, I've never been more challenged OR had so much fun in Reach before. I saw a lot of great tactics that I don't see in regular playlists (such as crouching mid DMR fight).

My biggest issue was the maps. I've never played them before, I don't know where AA or weapon spawns are, and I was teamed up against much more experienced players.

So, not that I wannabe a try-hard or anything, but what are some good tips for getting better at MLG? I had more fun in MLG than regular Team Slayer.

Also, is there a MLG FFA playlist?

Nope.

But, basic strategies for MLG differ depending on the map/game type. And you really can't expect to do well without a team backing you.

I thought everybody said MLG was the one list you could do well in without a team because everybody supposedly knows what they're doing?

there was an MLG ffa playlist in halo 3 but not in reach.

anyways its impossible to get better at MLG in reach unless you go in with atleast one other person(recommended: go in with a full party)

you'll get stomped as a random because people go in as a po4 pretty often, and you probably wont learn anything if your raging at your randies.

Only if you search for like a thousand games to increase your hidden true skill. I've played a lot of games in the playlist and the randoms are just as bad as the other playlists. Though unlike the other ones you will occasionally get a good random.

You've never played those maps before? How many games did you play? Because once you play one gray map, you've played them all.

No but seriously,

This+ just go into customs (even by yourself) and learn the basics about the maps.

Where can I download the maps to my fileshare?

Well you can just go to recent gametypes or w/e or search either "MLG Gametypes" and/or "Killa KC" fireshare.

Pretty sure MLG Gametypes has the maps but only Bloom settings (as that was the last "official" version) and Killa KC will have the ZBNS gametypes.

MLG is for bad players who can't compete in the regular playlists.

My existence pretty much kills that argument.

>Be an Arena warrior who is better than 99% of Arena players
>Realize jet pack is obnoxious
>Be an MLG warrior who is able to compete with pros when they don't super tryhard.

Also, Trav, Costa, and Smily.

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

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

Play MLG. Good gametypes, good maps, good competition, zero bloom, and minimal AAs.

Perfect playlist

Whoops.
