Who cares how long it took for me to get my 50. You're assuming that when you start playing that you're as good as you'll ever be. I used to be stuck at 43 for a long time, I've been improving since then. Also, that first game against Anarchy and the crew didn't really count because it was 3v4 when my cousin lagged out as soon as the game started. The construct king game was competitive for a while until they held setup for the last 2 hills.
I don't think I'm wasting my time in the MLG playlist because I really enjoy the gametypes and style of play. However, I really wanna compete in at least one event before all is said and done. It can be pretty fuckin hard to get a team together to go to an event. I don't wanna go with just some local people just to go. I had 1 real opportunity to go but wasn't able to make it. Until then, I'm just an online warrior.
And I'm not ignoring my HaloGAF bros, I was just playing Team Flag with Nutter and Domino Thursday night. Lots of fun was had. And what's the deal with HaloGAF customs night?

Ramirez said:Sorry for not answering you last night, I had to bail pretty soon so I didn't wanna waste your time. :lol To answer your question, I dropped all the way from 47 to 41.Not getting to play much at all anyways + randoms equals good times.
It's cool. We just needed a 4th and I know you're really really good. I just wanted to know your MLG level so I could gauge how comfortable you are with the maps and such. 47 to a 41? Damn that sucks. I'm sure you'll get it right back.

You know, I would invite you to my elite MLG team... but I think we're too good for you scrubs. We avoid the bought 50's by stricly playing in the 15-20 lvl range.Tashi0106 said:

I played all the way to 8 in MLG then stopped because I was too cool for all those scrubs. In reality I just couldn't consider MLG without a team. Please, can anyone shed some light on why AR kids come into MLG and fuck up my game?
I got sick of them and stopped playing.

Agreed. It's obvious social playlists can support lower populations (DLC is rarely above 3k) so there's little one could say to convince me that MM couldn't support two types of slayer playlists. This could be applied to many other playlists in MM and yet we rarely ever see any attempts at making new playlists. Like Kyle said, who's so fucking afraid to experiment a little and why? It's almost as Shishka believes the current playlist are finely tuned to satisfy the most number of gamers and that any addition to it would ruin this piece of art.kylej said:

Hey Tashi, you should send me an invite some time if you're playing MLG and need a fourth.
I am a 44 in MLG (Haven't actually tried for a 50.. Just got to 44 and then stopped) and I like to think of myself as a decent player.
Anyways, I am hopping on again right now, anyone down for some Team Flag?

Devastating news.Dax01 said:
Apparently swapping HDD's, Playing Arcade Games, or a combination of the two; causes you to lose all of your 'recent' films.
So many good memories... lost forever.I was looking at the films from this morning just now, but nothing really epic happened unfortunately.

We need flag return times to be tweaked, that'll make Flag games even more intense (in a good way) and balance the gametype for each map even more.
All big team maps = 30 seconds (is that the default?)
Mid-sized maps = 15 seconds
Small maps (Assembly, Blackout, Orbital) = insta-touch return

While you're at it, how about you accept one of the invitations that I send you when we have 3 people and are looking for a fourth? I haven't played with you in eons.Tashi0106 said:

The closer you are to capping it the faster the other team should be able to return it. If I stop a kid about to jump into his base on Valhalla with our flag it should be 5 seconds. If the flag is dropped right next to its default location it should be 30 seconds, etc.
I am fighting teams of 50s and getting strike commanders on my team so if anyone wants to play flag send jelyk a message.

Are GAF customs still on for tonight? The thread is lacking the necessary hype for a proper Customs night.

I think that some of the "leet" players should put a scrub of say, my level on each of their teams in 4 v 4. It would introduce a layer of variety and unpredictability that they may enjoy. I can do bad things to good people with stupid weapons in spastic places.

My brozasaurus is playing ranked MLG if you wanna play with him. He's a 41. His GT is ThriLLestBeaver if you wanna play.Nutter said:Welp looks like everyone has a party going.
Time to solo this bitch in ranked.
Thanks for helping to test it out. I went and got it set up for Assault and Team Slayer in addition to CTF. If we get a decent size room going tonight (10-16) I'd love to give it a real work out - it seemed to play okay.Dax01 said:
A quick primer in case we give it a run. I used a Covenant/Brute theme on it, so that means Prowlers instead of Warthogs, Maulers, spike grenades, FRG instead of rockets. Etc.
There are a couple spawn points in the vehicle bay, but in case the system spawns everyone on top - head down for the Chopper. You know who you are.
The opening moments played out the way I hoped, with a rush for the FRG on each side. I liked that you could see each other grab them down either side of the wall.
Because the edge along the top wall is exposed, I parked the regen (on either side) in the center.
There's an overshield on each side. I thought it might be overkill, but on a slow respawn they worked out okay. They are far apart, and there's no camo, so powerups didn't seem to dominate.
Front view of the base, showing the three main ways in - the bridge and two ramps.
Overview. Note in the back you can access both vehicle bays in the tunnels below the base, as well as climb the angled block to get in to the top level.
(Bubble shield is in front of the stand-alone angled block off to the left of the base in the foreground.)
Someone toasting me with the FRG when I thought I was in the clear for Prowler flag run. Alas.
Forge itch scratched again...for now.

We're doing customs tonight I assume? I definitely want to try out Ghals new map..
Quick one from an otherwise very boring game.
The coast appears to be clear, moving up for the flag
Enemy spotted!
Fire the rocket
oh shi...
Is this what death looks like?
I somehow survive my own rocket, but kill two teamates
a stray grenade ends the fun

I've been playing horribly today.
Hopefully I'll be back up to scratch when customs come rolling in.
Any people that are not insanely good that wanna play MLG?
I'd like to play but I cower in the shadows of most GAFfers.
Edit: evidence of my terrible play today is shown above
I mean.. who actually runs infront of a man wielding a rocket launcher staring down an enemy?
I guess when I checked my motion sensor I didn't get the usual "huh, guys next to me... go around" and instead went with "heh heh yellow DOTS! FUCK YAH!"

^^ ditto. Just switched my box off in disgust at my own fail. le sigh
Those maps look great, Ghaleon and Eazy.
Talking about failure, ever since trying to get the last Free for All achievements, I've been quitting out when I know it's a lost cause to get a particular achievement. Am I anywhere near close to being banned for quitting out too much with these?
