Re: MLG and Halo: Is this the end of the road?

In Response To: Re: MLG and Halo: Is this the end of the road? (Schooly D)


: And the disconnect was made even worse by the fact that
: "default" Reach had/has very noncompetitive settings
: (wacky/inappropriate Armor Abilities, slow movement speed, bloom on the
: basic weapon(s) of the game ), making it necessary for competitive players
: to alter many fundamental aspects of the game.

"Default" Reach was playtested, and lauded, by MLG players long before it ever shipped, marking it as the first and only Halo title that was exposed to professional players and their feedback prior to launch. I distinctly recall players like Hysteria and Elamite Warrior noting that systems like bloom would be an incredible boon to skilled players. It's sort of en vogue now to trash it as a non-competitive, "casualized" game, even though it was vetted and influenced more significantly by MLG players than any other Halo title, ever. Part of me thinks that's sort of funny and ironic. Another part of me reads these posts and realizes that it's mostly sad. Live and learn.
