> 1. True, but MLG is a business. They’ve earned quite a bit of cash. The most obvious solution would be to use that money your business has earned to pay people to make a game. Between MLG’s “knowledge” of skilled gameplay and a professional team of programmers/designers, they should be unstoppable. But no, MLG is content being the life sucking parasite it is, ruining games others have made instead of financing an original IP.

> 2, That’s just a damn lie.

> 3. That’s not what that quote says. Read it again. He’s saying there wouldn’t be an MLG without Halo. Which isn’t entirely true, and if it were MLG is not the sole purveyor of esports out there.
>
> 4. True, but bungie deserves more respect. They make games. MLG just complains about and edits settings of existing ones. MLG relies on the existence of a game, Bungie has the ability to create. Bungie wins. MLG is a third party who exists outside of the game, they deserve no respect inherently.
>
> 5. What do you mean by media outlets? Because the hundreds of millions microsoft spends on advertising does a whole lot more.
>
> 6. This is pretty much accurate. Though I do find it hilarious that all the playlists in Reach that cater to “classic” gameplay are consistently the least played playlists.
>
> 7. Do you have ears or eyes? The disrespectful attitudes flow like wine from the MLG crowd, but the hate DOES flow both ways. I’m not saying that it’s justified either way, but again MLG is the third party trying to force rules onto Halo, not the other way around.
>
> 8. Because MLG is a joke? A group of elitist Yoink! who were pissed that Bungie didn’t hold their hands and serve them lobster dinners and tailor the game exclusively to their small niche gameplay style? Yeah, I like mine better.
>
>
> tl;dr There’s room for everyone to play Halo, but the day they make the majority of the game catered to MLG exclusively is the day I blow up 343 studios with c4 shoved right up Frankie’s -Yoink!-. That is not a threat. That’s a guarantee.
1: The main reason is they need a large playerbase. There are THOUSANDS of players who love to play some BTB, but also like to play a couple of mlg games a day. This is where mlg gets a large portion of the NECESSARY playerbase to make their business off of.
2: No, its not? Playing some 13 year old who rages because he gets beat doesnt count as an mlg, competitive, or even veteran player. Stop with stereotypes, even if this is the kind you run into.
3: I know he said that, and what i said can be derived from it.
4: “complains and edits” i think you mean how the playerbase that likes traditional halo gameplay (the reason they started playing in the first place)
5: The media outlets microsoft provides only for the sale. Notice you dont still see reach commercials? They dont give a -Yoink- after its sold once. (neither does MLG since they are a commercial venture, but theirs depends on the longevity, not the initial sale)
6: Several facts along with theories on this one.
1: they play NOTHING like the “classic” they allude to.
2: people that liked classic halo wouldnt be on reach.
7: Still a stereotype, but of course they are going to be upset if they are. Their childhood game is completely being torn apart and put into something comepletely different and uncompetitive.
8: MLG is hardly a joke, they are the number one competitive gaming company in the world. They are growing at a faster rate than ANY OTHER SPORT. They are not elitist, only pissed that they are being left in the dust and not even cared about, as you can see with recent changes.
9: theres always been 2 ways to look at it imo. You can please the people who play halo a couple hours a month, or those who come home and play halo every day for a couple hours. Its numbers over longevity, and halo seems to be picking numbers and screwing its longtime fans over.
