Re: MLG Gametypes v2 released!

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


It really feels
: like MLG is trying to turn H3 back into an H1-style competitive game,
: where the teams that won were the ones that were the most stacked, where
: team-shooting didn't really matter, and where individual skill level took
: extreme priority over teamwork or **SHOCK** actually thinking about the
: game instead of simply headshotting anything that moves.

Was there ever, ever, any question that MLG as well as the separate "everything sucks but Halo 1 and if you don't agree with us, you suck too" crowd have wanted exactly that for the past six years?

When video games were in the arcades, the object was to continue to remove the player's money until he proved sufficient individual skill to complete the entire game on a single quarter.

In the living room, they've already got your quarters, and the increased production values have largely made the name of the game about putting the player into an immersive experience, regardless of player skill.

Naturally there are always those who would prefer the former even if many, if not most, prefer the latter. Which is entirely fine, and I think custom game types (as well as tournaments and special events that use them) like this are the proper way to have them implemented.
