Re: MLG Gametypes v2 released!

In Response To: Re: MLG Gametypes v2 released! (Major Silva)


: So apparently MLG absolutely despises the Sword now? I guess the shorter
: range, whip-out time (the sword has to fully turn on now before being
: used), and battery make it "unbalanced" for them? And apparently
: the Mauler is the new Sword for them. Incredibly fast kills in one shot
: (+melee), with no whip-out time, and an insanely fast melee.

: Oh, but according to them the Mauler's not "overpowered". Oh, no.
: The SHOTGUN is. Ok.. that makes sense MLG.

: I just don't see how that can be considered "balanced". To me at
: least, the Mauler+melee is the new "noob combo" or
: "Sword" of Halo 3. You shoot relatively close to them.. and hit
: B. The worst they can do is lower your shields. I've gotten so many
: killing sprees with that little combo that it's insane. There's very
: little defense against it at short or even short-medium range. I'll
: respect their right to play their games how they want them, but some of
: their "changes" just don't make sense to me personally.

: ~MS
as for the mauler, you pretty much need the melee to kill someone. 2 mauler bursts usually don't result in a kill, but 2 shotgun bursts do. this is my assumption for the removal.

as for the sword, not sure their exact reasoning, but i assume it had to do with the general flaws of itt in a competitive atmosphere. there are several flaws with that weapon and anyone of these could be the reason. simply making the sword have "charges" doesnt fix the weapon, perhaps the weapon is underpowered now.

the v2 gametypes already have a ton of feedback already, and now that MLG is in the offseason, the v3 gametypes will see a much quicker turnaround than the v2 ones did. I would expect new ones before the holidays.
