For those of you playing Halo 4, why don't you play MLG settings? Let's be frank, default Halo 4 is terrible. Between the presence of broken AAs, the boltshot, broken ordinance drops, and the lack of predictable weapon drops vanilla H4 doesn't really offer much as a fair and balanced game. Under MLG settings, everyone is given the same, balanced loadout without AAs, and both ordinance and weapon drops are predictable and balanced. The better team is going to win under MLG settings, but with vanilla settings it is a toss-up.

Vanilla Halo 4 is so unpredictable and random it really is simply a chore to play. Between the terrible settings and the bad matchmaking setup with JiP and poor host selection, there is no redeeming factor to playing these settings.

With that in mind, what's stopping you from playing the MLG settings? They're clearly better and more fun, so there must be some logical explanation for why you're not playing them. My current thoughts are in the poll attached to the thread, but if you have others I'd love to hear them.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

Because I have already beaten MLG. I moved onto other pro settings.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

Becasue I don't play Halo 4.

To be honest I feel as though Halo 3 is superior in every way aside from graphics and Halo: Reach has even better custom games.

You must be an MLG pro.

Can I get an autograph?

My troll sense is tingling.

I find MLG settings too restrictive. Too static, too dull and boring.

  • 01.04.2013 5:46 PM PDT

The human element always mucks things up.

Mlg rules are booooooring.

"You get what you put into it."

When Legendary is too mainstream, you have Heroic. When you're the leader of the church of MLGeezus, have Epic in your username, and can't write 'About Me's' to save your life, what do you get?

This guy. And now, an side note: Most things I post contain lethal doses of sarcasm, so be warned, and try not to take me seriously.

Finally, a message to Bungie trolls everywhere.

I'm not pro enough with no-scoping.

It includes all of the features in Halo 4, without the randomness.

What's not to love?

Because MLG dropped the ball with their settings. They're not much better than default. BR starts is a joke, should've been DMR starts.

I agree DMR starts are better, but the MLG settings are still significantly better than anything else widely played at this point.

The conic spread is very tight. It's not really "random", its kill time is just too long.

Final Destination 3 Stock no items Fox only.

Thats why.

This thread reeks of "I only play mature gametypes for mature gamers such as myself".

It's disgusting.

  • 01.04.2013 5:54 PM PDT

Get the hell off my planet!

I would like to try out an MLG Playlist on Halo 4, but there isn't one out yet.

Unless you're more than ten feet away from your opponent, that is.

You can play customs with friends or find them on gamebattles.

  • 01.04.2013 5:58 PM PDT

Just going to throw this out there. lolMLG. MLG thinks H4 is a joke and it is. I love MLG but we all know, Halo is not Halo anymore. Starcraft is what MLG cares about.

Sincerely, the voice inside your head for whenever you read things.
