| What about maps for the rest of us? | |

In Response To: Top 5 Maps That Should Be Remade (evildoctorwill) The MLG community, while the most publically organized and visible of all Halo players does not represent the majority of Halo fandom by any stretch. Just peeking at the number of unique players on Bungie.Net reveals that over 1,055,000 players logged into matchmaking, just in the last 24 hours. I have always wondered how many "MLG" amateur, semi pro and pro players there really are out there. What would a highball number be? 100,000?
