How do YOU feel about the MLG?

[CobraCommander]

I was just curious to see what you all thought of Major League Gaming. I know most people haven't thought much about it, but being an ex-MLG player myself (Halo 3 division), I think a lot of people have mixed feelings. I for one, quit the MLGs because they took out the heart of the game. For instance, for anyone who plays Halo 3, imagine a game where theres no *deep breath* plasma grenades, spike grenades, plasma pistols, brute shots, energy swords, equipment, pistols, plasma rifles, spikers or vehicles of any kind and the only maps are gaurdian, The Pit, and MAYBY Valhalla if your lucky. They modified the game modes so much (even little tweaks that can't be done normally) that it doesn't feel like the original game. Anyway, I'm ranting. So what do you think?

I hate to run into idiots who think they're MLG and really aren't. If you're MLG, you should be famous. If you're not famous, don't concider yourself MLG.

meh, they focus on consoles and i dont feel like you can be a real "hardcore" gamer with console and on a game that has aim-bot built in.(most console fps games)

I've played on some mlg practice servers with my friends. and you are right... the game feels naked (for lack of a better word). Not dynamic at all. I certainly hope Major League Gaming is NOT the next evolution in video games

well now hearing that mlg changes the games so much that it ruins the game i change my vote. mlg is taking the fun out of videogames and its not right. they should not remove those parts of the games because its a part of the game. 2 thumbs dow to mlg

I like MLG, I just dont like the community. The gaming league on Spike TV seems like a friendlier community.

I understand that sometimes weapons must be removed for balancing issues, but I for one belive they take it too far. Also, to clear up any confusion, I'm not one of those people who just played on the new MLG play-list on Xbox-Live, I actually was in actual contests hosted at gaming centers where winning teams got paid 400$ a person on average. Unfortunently, I didn't win that often.

I think it takes a simple hobby way too seriously and ruins nearly any fun.

And it annoys the crap out of people who actually work for a living.

I'm on the extreme end of things. I think that MLG is an attempt to make gaming a 'sport'. This is in the same light I see national tournys in. They are a perversion of what playing games should be, about the player and his challenges. By taking this approach, each game reveals goals for the player to achieve for his own personal, private satisfaction. MLG is nothing more than a bunch of people who want to be famous 1st, and play games 2nd.

True gamers are in it to play the game above all.

This is just my opinion. Dont take it personal anyone who is in or was in MLG. I'm not slapping you in a personal sense, I just dont like it.

I wish there was a large enough market so that Video Games could be considered a sport.

I just dont think theres enough of a following and organization out there for it to happen.

To be honest, in halo 3 i like MLG gamestyle because all the other weapons are just for like custom games. I mean all the other weapons (not including BR and Sniper) Are just random weapons. I think these guns are in MLG because there the most realistic and most skillfull weapons. I have never seen a Brute shot pull off an overkill ^-^. And vechicals. Who needs them. You can take them out faster then regular players on foot, and you have a better chance of getting a double or even triple kill.

They Think is its just hosted on TV, etc, and you can win prizes. But really im not to impressed with it, i could just say ok who ever wins the next round gets $100 and its piratically the same idea... in my opinion anyways.

I did 2 Online tournaments with my clan for Xbox on CoD4 and went went 7-5 and 6-6, we didn't win anything of course but we met a lot of annoying trash talkers and we had a lot of fun killing them and hearing them complain about " What eva man Im just warmin up" or the famous "You guys are cheating I KNOW IT!!! ill get you banned from LIVE!!" at the end of it. We also had a lot of fun.

Basement dwellers famous? Okay.

I'd like to say I don't like MLG, but I'd be lying considering I had a friend play it, and he had the best time of his life.

I think the smaller leagues are just as good, i.e CEVO, ESEA, ETF2L.
