Nop, not at all, TC probably don't even knows what MLG is.

BLOPS2 is so easy though.

its been mentioned thatMicrosoftsigned anexclusive dealwith Virgin Gaming giving them access to the game over MLG."forbes

lol @ halonabs saying MLG is a joke, Halo is a joke, MLG is as big as it's ever been, they got their act together, they focus on games like Starcraft and League of Legends now.

People that dismiss esports don't realize how fast and hard it's growing, and the future will only become more digital, more virtual, it's keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Season 2 LoL finals had like 8 million viewers total, that's just insane, it's mroe then a lot of sporting events. LoL alone has more people watching streams on a daily basis then playing Halo online. Think about that for a second.

And before you ignorant nerds start calling people that like esports nerds rememebr where you are and what you're hobby is. Anyone that's ever been seriously addicted in a competitive game has always enjoyed watching the best of the best play said game.

Truth_Hurts_U

Sure, that's why you go to GS e-sports page and there isn't many comments on the articles. Then they spam the front page to try and get views and all they get are ticked off people that don't give a crap.

E-sports is stupid.

You try too hard.

And he got so far, but in the end.....it doesn't even matter.

As an MLG gamer its true that Call of Duty is much more popular than any other shooter which shouldnt be a susprise even

finalstar2007

Yeah, we dropped Halo. Call of Duty takes more skills.

Say hi to this.343i is adding a competitive playlist in about a month.

There's also a new competitve league called AGL I think and virgin gaming that can make skill based competitions.

Nothing is more random than levels and unlocks, perk systems, and kill streaks.

MacBoomStick

I agree with you, but halo 4 is still pretty fun even with the problems in the MP.

Participated in MLG back in the Halo days and while I'm not likely the best candidate to opine about which shooters are the most respectable, Halo 4 is the least interesting/competitive of the online MP Halo games. But then again, I thought Reach was either the best or second only to Halo 2 and apparently MLG outlawed it as well, so eh.

Basinboy

Halo 4 is way more balanced than Halo Reach was.

Eww Halo Reach

that's funny, basically peoples' movements are unpredictable so they're crying foul beause they can't camp their favorite spots more effectively, boo-effing-hoolamprey263

I don't think anyone of skill would camp in Halo. That's the least effective stratagy in a game centered(formerly) around map control/ and map movement.

There isn't an option to turn off load-outs and ordinance in custom games? I heard that custom games was disappointing but damn.

Videogames are not a sport nor do they have any value a major competition. It is hobby and anyone who thinks differently is deluded. Why would I want to watch a bunch of geeks play a FPS?

StrongBlackVine

To be fair, nobody comes to GS to watch E-Sports, you should try Spooky Team on TwichTV for fighters and GomTV or NASL TV for Starcraft 2, at least that's what i follow, viwers numbers never hit the millions, but they alwaus have a consistant audience that allows the crew and the players to continue, is not as big as i would liked to be, but is no joke either.

madsnakehhh

Sure it is... I was playing mech warrior durning the day they were doing twitchTV with devs and top players. They were playing the most OP specs that the dev's said they were going to nerf.

Pretty safe to say we got mopped. But I got the only kill. Not bad for having 4 people focus train you with unbalanced weapon builds.

I liked arena on old G4... They played 3 or 4 games in a show and it was fun to watch. No drama... Just pure fun.

Rarely see campers i halo 4 and usually if I see one I kill them or try to kill them.

[QUOTE="DrTrafalgarLaw"][QUOTE="Riadon2"]

MLG... lol...

Let's see them play a game of CS 1.6 or Quake Live

seanmcloughlin

From what I hear 1.6 is still the best/ No point getting with the times if the older version is better.

Then again I've never played a CS game in my life, despite loving FPS games. CS is intimidating

The only reason CS 1.6 is considered the best (from my perspective) from what you hear is because that's all CS 1.6 players play/love. They're probably one of the most stagnant player base I've ever seen, it doesn't matter what version of Counter Strike there is or comes out they will $#!+ on it no matter what and continue playing thier precious 1.6. I played Counter Strike GO and I was surprised by just how much fun it was and how somewhat good I did on the battlefield (I faced off against AI players and did pretty well, human players....meh, better than expected).

Counter Strike Source and GO are both good games regardless of what CS 1.6 fanboys (in fact they're opinion's are almost meaningless given their fanboyism towards the version). Hell, even though he's not at all a Counter Strike player, TB still gave CS:GO a spot in his Top 10 Games of 2012 (#6 to be exact) so that's gotta mean something for the game.

I don't know. I don't particularly like soccer myself, but it has way more credibility than a "pro gaming circuit."

lol so their chickensh*t excuse is that jetpacks make it more difficult to ascertain where enemies are? lololol learn2play then and what randomness are they referring to in multi-player? i have no problem with them dropping the game but i just find the excuses to be ridiculous22Toothpicks

MLG representitives never said anything like that.

I won't wactch single Dota 2 match (whatever the Hell that is), but I will watch soccer during the World Cup and Olympics. Needless to say American football, basketball, tennis and baseball etc. crap all over a room full of nerds wearing wrist pads!

Rather odd that Forbes dismisses the exclusivity agreement yet brings to light the randomness of Halo 4's multiplayer, and then makes no mention of that same randomness in Blops 2.Stevo_the_gamer

That's not what MLG said.

All MLG said was that Microsoft signed an exclusivity agreement with a different event.

All the other stuff was just that Forbes author's opinion on the game.

lol@sw

The fact Halo was on MLG was once an argument as why Halo was superior to some FPS (yes, some lems used this argument as why Halo was "better" than Killzone), now that isnt part of MLG is "lolMLG"

Damage control at its finest

I do. In a Halo vs Killzone thread a while ago. I'm too lazy to find it but take my word on it. Actually, knowing SW is not that hard to believe in my word.

I basically never play MP games. Interesting that adding more mobility and freedom make the game more casual. I guess I kind of understand it, as it makes it tougher to develop strategies, but still.
