In Response To: Re: REACH MM Playlist Popularity Study (Hoovaloov) : Even if MLG doesn't use Reach in their next season, it's doesn't need to be : removed unless it stops being a healthy playlist. : Living Dead's popularity distresses me. While I enjoy a game or two every : once in a while, I'm pretty sure every can agree that it's not a good sign : for Reach that this is it's most popular gametype (by a big margin). This : either tells me Reach's real multiplayer was so unbearable that most of : the population runs away to Living Dead to avoid it. Or there is a large : incentive to be playing Living Dead. I tend to think it's more of the : latter, with the incentive being an almost guaranteed positive K/D spread. I'd like to see MLG stay as well. While I haven't played it in a while (because I hate that I get mute banned from playing it), it is a highly competitive playlist with a great mix of fun/competitive gametypes. It's quite unique, and if Halo doesn't make it into MLG this season, I think there will still be plenty of players who enjoy that style of gameplay. I think Living Dead's popularity is less of an indication of the quality of Reach, and more of an indication of the type of player that has moved on from Halo. We have your "fun" or "casual" players (I hate these labels but they must be used for communication purposes) that love to use the framework of Halo to mess around. We also still have plenty of players who are competitive for the sake of competition, who love the thrill of a back and forth close match. What we are missing are the players who played only to thrust their number (that's higher than yours) into your face, who need something clearly visible to give them a sense of accomplishment. Those are the players who moved onto other games.
