MLG is not a requirement, merely a perk.
Posted By: bryan newman <kodiak4208@hotmail.com>Date: 12/3/11 7:42 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Not quite true (Bry)


: It was said in another post that the support of a competitive gaming league,
: such as MLG, is almost essential for a gaming franchise to be successful
: and long lived.

As much as I like MLG, it is by no means essential for a game to thrive. There are 2 kinds of MLGer (Not a word I know ) in this world. There are the 12 year olds that have a game battles account (The 99%) and there are the actual MLG players that go to tournaments (The 1%)

As a MLG player I despise game types with the following things (Assault Rifle, Shotgun, and Armor Abilities) That's why MLG players don't play the Arena, even though it is ranked it is a really shitty playlist that still caters to casual weapons.

In the end however it is too late to fix Reach MLG. MLGers can hope that Halo 4 is more suited for competitive gameplay the way that H3 was. In my opinion however if they don't then fine, who cares. As long as H4's story is fantastic then that is good enough for me. My MLG days are behind me anyway.

BTW Call of Duty is proof that MLG is not needed, CoD is a casual game that appeals to a casual audience. That is never going to change, they only added the MLG part of CoD because there was a small amount of money to be made. As a matter of fact did you know that MLG does not support Xbox 360 as it's Call Of Duty console? It is sponsored entirely by Sony (And if you look at the #'s 360 out numbers CoD players on PS3 almost 3:1 so it is stupid anyway)
