MLG is a good playlist, don't get me wrong. It is definitely the most stripped down, competitive, skill based area of this game. However, I also hate playing in the MLG playlist. Why? For one, it is too stripped down IMO. There are only.. 7 different weapons? It's been awhile, but you see what I mean. It's too limited, not diverse enough. But my most prominent issue is this:
I find it very difficult to switch back and forth between the movement speeds of both gametypes. Most of you probably know me as a BTB player (6+ days). So I love BTB. A lot. I think I would play MLG (or even arena) if there was a BTB side to their respective communities. At least a more competitive BTB playlist.
Perhaps a community slot for a BTB.net playlist?
Its not too stripped down. The weapons that arent in it are useless. Besides, theyve got every range pinned down. Theres no point in having "more weapons for variety when a lot of them do the same thing".
Pistol pickup- Close range
DMR- All ranges
Needle Rifle pickup- All ranges
Sniper pickup- Long Range
Rockets
Grenade Launcher
Shotgun pickup- Close range
99% of the population wouldnt bother picking up ARs, Repeaters, PRs, Plasma Launchers, etc. Besides, why have 4 weapons that do practically the same thing? Aka Spiker, AR, PRs, and Plasma Repeaters. Its just stupid. Theres no reason to have 4 weapons that do practically the same thing.
MLG can barely sustain events with Reach as it is. The next one might very well be the last. They arent getting the attendance they did in H3 so they might scrap it until Halo 4. Besides, majority of BTB players dont take it serious at all. Hell, BTB.net teams are hardly any amount of the BTB playlist. Theres what? 20 teams or so? Thats only like 320 people and only like 4 teams would probably be able to get a sponsor to pay for them to get to the event. It would be a waste of time for MLG.
