I think that there should be an MLG multiplayer playlist straight from release date. In my opinion, 343 should collaborate with MLG before the game’s release to build an MLG playlist that is ready for release date, instead of waiting for 3 months like Bungie has done for Reach and H3.
They already are and they are helping with the whole multiplayer to make it as balanced as possible.
I’m not sure if that would be possible. MLG wouldn’t have settings and maps ready at launch.
Jeez, at least give default a chance before you hop into MLG. Also what Stahl said.
Nevermind MLG; I hope there’s a simple classic playlist from day one. 
The whole point of is to test things out over time, then deducte what is good/bad. Hell, even AL needs time before we knew it was horrible.
Plus, MLG isisnt/shouldnt be calling the shots for competitive play, The Halo Council are the main competitive community now, and most agree it should just be called Team Hardcore

MLG making things balanced? what a joke. People in MLG are just power weapon hoarders and whoever gets the power weapons first usually wins. That is not balanced.
>
Not to mention that MLG has the mindset that the game should center around one weapon and one weapon only, which seems to (thankfully) be the opposite of the direction in which Halo 4 is going.

MLG usually has 3 weapons on the map plus what you spawn with right? Rockets, shotgun, and sniper. Halo is meant to have a variety of options on every map like plasma pistols and needlers and carbines and everything else they see fit to have on that map. not just three lousy power weapons. That takes away from the excitement.

Ignorant much.

THIS. They arent Pros if they never use Spikers and Hammers. MLG would we way more exciting if they had Focus Rifles, Lasers and AR’s

Yes, too much…

You mad that these people get payed money to play games? We can be as casual or hardcore gamers as we want but that doesn’t make us MLG in any way. The MLG playlist is just for a bunch of wannabe MLGs and personally I don’t care for people trying to be tryhards
I’m pretty sure most of the MLG (or THC or whatever it is now) community wants to wait a while to see how the settings need to be tweaked.

Off topic- I’m going to assume that period isn’t supposed to be there.
On topic- I’m sure the MLG community can still make maps and things before knowing how much faster they will make themselves run

I can never tell if someone on this site is legitimately trolling or just flat out stupid, but I’ll take the bait.
MLG takes out all the useless weapons and randomness, leaving only pure individual and team skill. AR = random = not in MLG. “power weapon hoarders”? lol. This excuse is so pathetic, you can’t “hoard” power weapons, it’s called map control and that’s another skill requiring thing focused on in MLG.
I can also say I am nowhere near mad that pros get paid to play.

Yeah! I mean who are they making the incentive to get power weapons actually worth it! We should have random times for everything, cause obviously that is the best way to determine skill.
Why not just make everything random in the MLG circuit? Psh, even the starcraft community has no idea what they’re doing.

Map control can be done without power weapons.

There is always incentive to get the power weapons. Maybe because they are power weapons…? and when did i ever say it had to be random? and who cares about skill? games are for fun.
> Map control can be done without power weapons.
Power weapons provide the incentive to gain map control.
