How coincidental that most MLG players seem to think matchmaking players are shit because they don't play MLG settings. :lol

Not really at all. You must have played with MLG wanna-be kids. Most MLG Players keep there mouth shut when they do into matchmaking. They know if they wanna play MLG they'll play customs.

I like how Kevin called us nerds, yet you take one look at those ogre guys and... :lol

??? Ogres look like average people too me. Maybe you think there ugly, but at least they don't look like some basement dwellers who live in there moms basement.

i'm just going to come out and say that there really isn't anybody good on this forum except for probably kevinro

i dont know about kevinro but chevyguychvy is my teammate and he's pretty damn good.

and theyve made hundreds of thousands making money is what.

kevinro's team is top 128 on the pro circuit ladder right now

i'd like to watch what would happen if gaf's top 4 players made a team and played matches on that ladder.

that ladder doesnt mean anything. we played team classic back during fall season when they were #1 and lost by a kill every match we played on their host.

its still way too early into halo 3 to tell who's good and who isnt. i think theres alot of radomness.

See, this is what I mean.

sixthsubset said:
well then they're probably not good. really, i don't think there have been solid players who don't play mlg and just play matchmaking since like the middle of '05 except for a rare few, and they only have potential.

MLG players probably are really nice people, just I never seem to read anything from them on the internet. All I ever hear is elitist rubbish from people like Max_pl and this guy. Heck, it doesn't help that the one guy I know at my Uni who follows MLG is a prick when it comes to Halo.

So can you see why I've formed that opinion about MLG players?

Edit: I like playing MLG rules personally, I just don't can't get on with the players who play them.

So the bar for "good" is anyone who can compete in the pro circuit? That means the "good" players are in what, the triple digits and everyone else sucks?

well no. there's them, then there's the decent am teams, then all the millions of random teams, then there's the ffa kids, and then there's the team hardcore kids, and then there's matchmaking players, which is gaf.

tbh i don't think it's possible to get good at the game through matchmaking. that's like trying to get good at football by playing six-year-olds in the backyard.

Is this the kind of stuff I've been missing out on neglecting this thread the last couple months? God dammit. I expect videos when I get home tomorrow night!

seriously. i havent read a post in the thread in months, so today i decide to check what people are talking about in here and i get this.

entertaining. :lol
 
FUCK THIS BS, Seriously you guys are shitting the thread with this crap of MLG vs MM, Max_PL vs the World, and who is good and who is not. I used to like this thread when it was all about stories of how fun the game is because it motivated me to play, but now that shit got real it sux.
 
man all this halo talk and i think my team is getting back together once their boxes come back from repair. i'm kinda getting excited actually.
 
FFChris said:

no that's really not why. it's not the settings, it's who you're playing. matchmaking players aren't as good because they don't get to play against good players. the people who are naturally good at the game play mlg because they can win tourneys and money and have fun doing it, and everybody else who gets to play them gets better because playing better players makes you better. but in matchmaking you never really play somebody above you if you get on top because everybody better than you is scrimming with eachother in customs
 
I knew this thread would blow up eventually. :P I've never claimed to be as good as any low tier MLG team/players...I can't really be that good, or become that good, because I simply don't know anyone that likes to play the game as hardcore as I do.

well you don't have to take it personally if you get called bad. it's really not the end of the world. i know i'm bad, my team gets destroyed all the time and i get called bad every day. i know i'm bad, i know they're better than me, it's clearly obvious by the fact that they just beat me. i just keep playing because it's a silly little game i play for fun

You're not bad. You're Michael Jackson.

And isn't being called "bad" sort of relative to the fish and the size of the pond? Like Joe Tung and I got devastated by a couple of MLG kids that were here last week, but he and I would fair much better in a 2v2 ladder at Bungie.
 
I remember Team Jesus' attempt at playing in a league, I think it was an online MLG thing or something...I just remember Luke and Trasher constantly cussing each other. :lol
 
I'm going to log on now and get a group with some friends or what not. I'm in the NeoGAF Halo Team friend's list if anyone is interested in playing tonight.
 
well seeing as i'm not too keen on the whole "i'm better than you for sure" thing online, anyone want to actually play some competitive customz right now?



i will beat anyone.

KevRo IS good, but I got matched up against him one night randomly in a Team HC on Valhalla and he quit out in the 2nd round because his team was losing.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=241799369&player=TJ Ramirez

Perhaps you got d/c, I doubt it though. :P He did kill me the most however. :lol

I'll get started on that GAF thing tonight, think I have a good idea of what type of mixture we should play.

I don't ever quit. Check my -exp. They are all from drop outs.

*edit* out of my 500 or so matchmaking games I only have 14 drop-outs. thats a 3 percent drop out rate.

I don't have the greatest connection so I lag out alot. Thats why my team on GB is only around 128. If I had a decent host about .5 Mbit upload, maybe then I would pull host.

Also, going into hardcore by myself doesn't mean crap. Especially when you get on a team full of people who don't have microphones and are intent on killing you. So, yeah, if you want to look at my hardcore matches, I GO IN BY MYSELF! But if you want to talk about customs on the other hand...
 
the disgruntled gamer said:
Shut up about fun. You think you're better than me, bitch?

If there was a way to prove it that did not involve me having to prove it, the I would prove it.
 
eh, if anyone wants to send me an invite i'll play.

Warning, I'm trying a new button layout

and I suck

and I may stop and answer the phone at some point

and after that point I may just leave because I have priorities

but I'm probably better at getting away with all that than all of you combined.
 
Wow, this thread is awesome again. I've been laughing at the last few pages. Max_pl, don't play anyone yet so the jokes can keep comin'. ;)

Yea, was just sayin'...I'm by myself in MM 99% of the time as well.

Agreed. I'm going to hop on right now, so if anyone wants to play, send a message/FR to Oml3t, or just check me up on NeoGAF Halo.
 
When Bungie finally releases the patch someone should make a separate topic declaring "The patch is out, time to play Halo 3 again! Melee has been fixed!" to spread awareness to people like myself who abandoned the game for one reason or another. Much like Halo 2, I only played the game for a few weeks after launch before abandoned it entirely. Then Bungie's patch (not the new maps) made the game fun to play again and I was hooked for months. I expect history to repeat itself.

I personally think the melee works perfect right now.If you know the timing on the melee and make sure you damage your opponent before melee'ing for the kill then you should have no problem.

If you dont play Halo 3 solely for the melee complaint then perhaps you should not play the game at all.
 
are they ever gunna bring back one on one? ir fix the melee? any updates on that?

what's everyones opinion on skill .

do you think if you rank higher at lone wolves over everything it is more a true representation of your skill ?

I'll admit the melee thing in particular was pretty low on my list of reasons I stopped playing Halo 3, but for others it seems like a much bigger deal. It was really a combination of small gripes combined with a flood of new releases that pulled me away from it. Even though DMC4, Burnout, and SSBB will get a fair share of my gaming hours I can see myself getting back into Halo in a big way after Bungie does some Spring cleaning.
 
how about fixing the overshield bullshit? why the fuck are they invulnerable for the overshield charge up?!

i hate sticking a guy, him walking into an overshield and then crushing me because for 5-7 seconds he is completely invincible!!!!
