: That was the same problem Bungie had with Reach, they tried to go after the

: come to you, otherwise you seem desperate for their approval, I guess.

This. MLG is definitely more of a problem than it's worth, going back all the way to Reach. MLG dropped Halo. Stop caring about what they have to say. They don't get it. They didn't get it with Bungie, and they won't get it just because 343 keeps hiring them. To avoid a "Schooly was right" you pretty much gotta do your own thing and make a coherent product that isn't trying to figure out just what it exactly it wants to be or who it wants to target (and "everyone" isn't the right answer, even if it's the ideal marketing target audience).
