im not trying to be mean to anybody, but it just is a little annoying to me that people post maps that are MLG bla bla and they are ridiculous creations including equipment, intentional shield doors, fusion coils, non MLG weapons, non MLG grenades, loose scenery and everything that MLG intentionally removes from their maps. i have seen some MLG bla bla maps that at least i would consider MLG worthy so i congratulate them. but for those that put MLG in their map title because they think it is cool, think twice before deciding for yourself that it is MLG worthy. and dont you dare try to flame me for posting MLG Epitaph v6 just because epitaph has permanent shield doors because if you go through and check spawn times, weapon/grenade placement, hill placement, starting spawn point placement, weapon variety, ext... it is the same as all current MLG maps particularly MLG Pit v5 and MLG Construct v5. and i am working on getting the shield doors glitched away
this should really be moved to Halo discussion, but i understand your point, it's one of the many reasons i don't go into the map forums too much any more.
I get what you're saying, but they're just going to do it anyways. It's like making maps for SWAT and putting Plasma Rifles. =/ Meh, MLG is a tad annoying anyways. I don't like to have to be ground to a gametype that's so full of bullcrap. Just because you play MLG doesn't make you pro. And yet, many people who play this gametype are goaded into believing that it's, what? More tactical? Bullshit. What kind of tactical game doesn't have a motion sensor. Using a radar allows you to make better and more accurate judgements based on knowledge of the location of enemies. But nooo, motion sensor 'isn't tactical'. Furthermore, why the hell does MLG limit the inventory of weapons and grenades to pretty much only Battle Rifles? I understand the reasoning of removing weapons like the Sword, Rocket Launcher, Flame Thrower, and etc. But it's very, very tactical to be able to know how to use different types of weapons during gameplay. Professional, my ass. /rant
Correction, they added rockets to maps, not removed them. Contrust never had a rocket launcher before MLG. They also limit weapons to mainly Battle Rifles to give the host an advantage, why else?
Well you're thinking about it as if it were FFA. MLG is team based generally, sure they have an FFA tournament off the side but MLG is primarily team based. So that's the reason for having no radar, co-operation. I don't like the radar much myself, I don't think it's tactical at all, it's cheap. I don't like spawning then see my motion sensor go off and then get a cheap kill... (One scenario) The MLG tournaments try to focus on the BR and Carbine to favor your accuracy skills. I guess to compare... Major League Baseball is very different then a backyard game with friends, and that's how you should think about the MLG gametypes. Strict rules and no help from dad, if you know what I mean... Most of the power weapons were removed yes, and like you said, you can understand it. But the Sniper and Rocket Launcher do make appearances, just for that little extra touch I guess. They're fronting up the money, so... Why not?
I think Nemi was just saying he could understand if the rockets were removed. And amen to your second comment... As for Nemi's comment on the radar...I totally agree, I thought it was more tactical to be crouching toward an enemy, then to not see anything going on in the what? 260 degrees around what you actually see?
Well this thread is about ill-made MLG maps, not about how all MLG maps are bad. Anyways, is there an MLG guideline on the site?
Reyn I completely agree with you on the motion sensor for team games, it forces you to communicate (aka be tactical) to get kills rather than just relying on your screen telling you where people are. And yes this is a problem, that's why I propose an mlg maps section that I could strictly moderate. Lightz for mini-mod 08
persdonally, i never haver played MLG, i once played, but quit after realizing how retarded it was so i will not discrace my maps by putting MLG in thier name
Congratulations, you win the award for dumbest post of the year. Not only did that not make any sense but you misspelled words and didn't offer an opinion of the topic. You take failing to the next level.
Meh. I'm just posting my distaste for MLG maps that are supposed to be for 'professional players' who are basically 12 year olds that wear ****ing Master Chief undies.
I've made the argument before, and I'll say it again. MLG is really nothing more than a gametype. A way the game can be played. I don't see people flipping out at all the infection maps that are made. Yes, some people don't necessarily know what it is or what the guidelines are, which is why I support MLG having its own thread with a perm sticky stating whats allowed and not allowed. Also, maybe I just don't look hard enough, but I rarely see MLG maps posted here anymore that dont follow the guidelines.
i didnt, my opinion about a mlg topic is that mlg is dumb, and giving -rep due to my opinion of mlg is phail
