Granted while I don't have a 360, a lot of my friends do. 2 play very seriously and I still game for several hours on Halo many nights a week.

I hate MLG. I always have. WHY does the game have to be changed to emphasize " skill ". Is the game broken? Is the default settings nothing more than pure junk? Does it not require any skill to play now? I don't see why MLG has to come in and make little changes to the game to make them feel like they're making the game for the more " skilled " when they're really not changing much at all except changing starting weapons, spawn points, and weapon spawns. I know the real reason. People cry because they're not able to work the maps and get their own BR.

In fact I've yet to see them really change any starting weapons or weapon spawns in any other MLG sponsored game. Not that I can remember at least.

I find it funny that they're going to offer help on how to play better... How can we do that? Like any other game no one can really be any better once you have it figured out. Sure there's always the prodigies, but in my opinion in a video game any one person can be as good as another. I just don't see what they're going to show us that hasn't already been shown? Not everyone is a complete noob who walks around with one SMG or passes up the better weapons as they walk the map. I'm VERY interested to see what MLG has to offer that any seasoned player doesn't already know.

I'll be avoiding this playlist. I like my AR start, thanks.

I don't expect much response to this though... The 360 kids here seem to avoid the only half way decent games for the system and just buy whatever looks neat in the commercials.

I've never been a fan of Team Hardcore playlists, because they usually include SWAT, a gametype which I just find boring. If I want easy kills to make it "more realistic" I'll go play CoD4 (which I do, actually, I haven't played Halo 3 in months, its been replaced by CoD).

Anyway, the reason I guess I'm sick of Halo 3 is partly because of the maps, but also because Bungie added in a bunch of invisible walls to every map and got rid of the ability to super jump or get out of the map, an activity that, when playing custom games with friends, added to some of the entertainment. Also, while I don't think many of the maps in Halo 3 are bad, there are just none that I truly love, where in Halo 2, there were a good number that I loved (Midship, Coag, Lockout, Ascension, etc.). I guess if they start either re-releasing maps from Halo 2 or make better maps, then I'll probably start playing again, but right now, its just kind of boring to me.

I agree though, why would they need to make gametypes to emphasize "skill". Who are they to determine what is and isn't skill.

I honestly think MLG sucks at games. Whenever I see "MLG" players play CoD4 or Halo, they look like they suck.

And I never figured out wtf custom overshields did anyway, lol.
BR, it's ok, but I'm better with the AR and Needler, so that sucks.

MLG sucks.
