Subject: Why I dislike MLG..

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?

*sigh..* There should be a more competitive BTB playlist. Maybe one featured by BTB.net.

I enjoy MLG, but I really only play when my friend plays with me (or maybe I get pissed after a few games of AL lol). I usually do somewhat alright unless a full party comes. Wish it had the full party vs full party matching like in squad.

Reach makes me want to gargle gasoline whiling jerking myself off with sandpaper.

Theres only ~7 weapons because those are the only needed ones. everything else is either useless or random

I find the whole concept of Mlg halirious

I'd try it but I rage in gametypes with no motion tracker. Rely on it too much.

I had no idea what you played.

All I remembered about you was that you were the first Force Colonel I ever saw posting on these forums.

Its so stripped down because Default Reach was so freaking terrible "out of the box".


As for diverse?

There is such a thing as too much....


Halo is a sandbox game, weapons have their own niche and need to perform in these niches.

Halo CEs sandbox is sought of as the best in the series, because it was the most balanced. There were only a small number of weapons, it made balancing them easier. They ALL had their own use, in their own ranges or "niche".

The more an more weapons that get added (for "variety" or to try to please everybody or whatever silly reason) simply make it harder to balance every weapon, thus there are "useless" weapons that no one bothers to use.

You know that saying "less is more"? Apply it to Halo's Weapon Sandbox.


That ^ doesn't necessarily tie into this specifically but in general.

Ahem, I don't boost in BTB. I just prefer it because of the diversity.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

MLG is actually really fun. I bet if it wasn't associated with try-hards you will all love playing it.

That's really the thing I use to remember who you are besides your name.

This thread is the first time I found out some of your matchmaking preferences.

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.

MLG is by far the best playlist.

  • 03.15.2012 8:02 AM PDT

That's why I just stick to Arena and Snipers. I tried out the TU beta playlist for a while and I've dabbled in MLG but that's about it.

  • 03.15.2012 8:15 AM PDT

Happiness is a warm gun

MLG is the only playlist worth playing nowadays. Everything else is just....derp.

BTB can be fun if you have a full party, but otherwise nope.
Team slayer is just hogwash
Super Slayer is just TU Slayer with all the derp
FFA is too much ARs on Swordbase
Invasion = 2 maps
Infection = Oh god no
Grifball = WTH?
Swat is just not deep enough

So yah, MLG is it for me. Maybe mix in a round of FFA

I'm quite aware, but I play BTB all the time, and people only boost with full parties. I search solo, so I usually get boosted on :/
