Major League Gaming has submitted their playlist specs to us and we’re working to get them integrated into matchmaking. We’re working hard to get it ready for all of the eager fans out there and we’re currently targeting mid-December, barring any complications during testing.[/FONT][/B][/I]

[TACO]

Hell the fuck yah. MLG playlist FTW!!!!!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finnaly! lol

[itwuzmagik]

Yay i get to play sucky V2's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dust]

Finally but I still like customs better

[Sinstar94]

Yay i get to play sucky V2's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's going to be V2 for sure? I'm probably taking a break from Halo if that's the case.

[Hylian]

Awesome!

[Dust]

Yeah it is definitely going to be V2

[Imp3nded]

I love v2. Better than v1. I'm excited for this news!

[forefront]

Sweetness!

[Antidote]

Finally a reason to get on the game.

[TACO]

Finally a reason to get on the game.

Sooo True

[Antidote]

Anyone else think this was a marketing ploy by them? All the kids will get Black Ops for Christmas but Bungie is basically like "No please don't go over to them, we know everyone hates are game but.....oh i know will give you the MLG playlist! Come Back!"

[Dust]

No I severely doubt it. You have to remember the competitive community is a very small percentage of the entire community. Also the MLG players are the most likely to keep playing Halo through the launch of CoD IMO.

[Shelly]

This is SOO true!

[SullyVan]

prettttyyy pumped!

[TACO]

does anyone know what they have in mind about a ranking system??!?!

[Dust]

I'm pretty sure it's gonna be like all of the other social playlists, if they do anything different we'd probably know by now.

[TACO]

[Smallz08]

I hope you are right havkin because I am not a huge fan of v2 right now. However I bet once I start playing customs then it will get better.

[Shelly]

lol I got so frustrated playing v2, and it was just the one night.
hopefully I get more used to it :/

[TACO]

v2 is really not that bad

you also gotta remember how bad you are at reach shelly :P

OT: you just got to get used to the sprint shit..... v4 should be good and up and running for the season opener!

[DaMuSiCFiEnD]

Yay....Finally

[Sabrea]

Thank god. I started getting bored of the game.

[MichaelMongrel]

Glad to finally know around WHEN this was coming out. It was no mystery whether it would happen or not.

[Juiceeeebox]

Im Excited! For MLG! Question what are the Differences between v1 and v2?

http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/playlists.aspx

[mrkillboy]

I was about to look there.

[itwuzmagik]

[Juiceeeebox]

[mrkillboy]

Bahaha. More likely to play with pros now. I'm stoked. I might be able to find a team.

[Dust]

[mrkillboy]

thanks Ecks!

no offense tim just didnt want to get my hopes foor no reason

No biggy. I know what you mean. It's all good. This playlist will be great practice for teams. Now, I have to find one.

[C0ACHMAYNE]

Max local 2. hmmm interesting

[TACO]

Max local 2. hmmm interesting

damn....another bungie mistake.

seems like they are doing it all on purpose to competitive gamers eh?

[Dust]

Jeremiah said it was because of Sanc being a 100% forge map, don't worry it's a good thing.

Also no guests in MLG

[heuer89]

Max local 2. hmmm interesting

All this means is that you can't log on 4 people on the same console to boost with your friends... It's actually a really smart idea...

[mrkillboy]

Pretty sure whatever mod moved this, shouldn't have.

[TACO]

i think its a good idea, it was basically made already

[mrkillboy]

i think its a good idea, it was basically made already

Not really. I released the real news. Not news about mid Dec. Over Mod is Over Mod

[Dust]

Taco

i think its a good idea, it was basically made already


lol says the Creator of this thread

[TACO]

lol says the Creator of this thread

you know you <3 me

[Antidote]

I'm assuming this has no ratings in it?

[mrkillboy]

Nope. Which is stupid.

[Dust]

no ratings?

[mrkillboy]

I just said no. lol

[Dust]

what does that mean? rankings? Divisions? the thread?

[Brixxx]

I love v2. Better than v1. I'm excited for this news!

AGREED this isnt HD halo 3 V1 was cookie cutter settings so they didnt have to mess with it much before they were done with H3 completely

[Araneatrox]

I don't get all the hate on V2 and reach in general. I've played call of duty and it was terrible compared to reach. Reach requires a lot more finesse IMO. No one can spawn with a sniper/shotgun/Etc. Im not 100% sure on the details of the Blops MLG gametypes, but im assuming they allow multiple starting weapons. Not limiting them to the 2 most balanced weapons.

V2 was much better than V1 and V1 was much better than H3. I got so infuriated when i was double beat by people in playlist, and its still one of the things that really boils my blood about the game. But 75% melee damage has reduced my anger towards the idiot players that sprint double beat you and think that is a correct way of playing.

I would have liked a ranking system in the MLG playlist, but because bungie introduced this silly ranking system it cannot work in Obj. So unless KC has given them a massive stat/point list i think it will be unranked. Which is a great shame. And to everyone QQ'ing, wait till you play it before you go and bitch. Because running customs wont always give you a good grasp on how a playlist will look,

very well said Aran

[Antidote]

I'm ok with no ratings. It's more fun that way imo.

[Jewjitsu]

i just hope bungie can fix the delayed flag pickup...it's really annoying in team objective or whatever when you can't run flags, and you have to run flags in MLG. i'll be pissed if bungie doesn't fix something so simple.

[Dust]

@jewjitsu: You can run the flags in MLG, I'm guessing it's a custom option.

[Smallz08]

I saw that the date was posted on the mlg twitter along with the announcement of testing v3! woot woot.

[TowelTruckGuy]

its about time. :) thank you for taking forever bungie.

[TACO]

its about time. :) thank you for taking forever bungie.

it took till v4 for halo 3 mlg playlist so its surprisingly soon

[Dust]

well, I don't think Bungie knew at the beginning og H3 that they were going to be putting an MLG playlist out.

[TACO]

well, I don't think Bungie knew at the beginning og H3 that they were going to be putting an MLG playlist out.

but there was h2 and mlg was the thing in h2 imo

[Dust]

yeah, but by that logic, Bungie would have had a MLG playlist in Halo 2. I mean there's no reason they couldn't have.

[TACO]

Team Hardcore was the MLG playlist in H2

[Dust]

Not necessarily as far as I know Team Hardcore was close to competitive setting but weren't quite MLG settings. Also remember that at the Beginning of H3 they had a Team Hardcore playlist, and that was nothing like MLG. MLG was pretty much limited to customs.

[Hylian]

lol I got so frustrated playing v2, and it was just the one night.
hopefully I get more used to it :/

I think I know what you're talking about.
Coundown flag?

[TowelTruckGuy]

it took till v4 for halo 3 mlg playlist so its surprisingly soon
Yeah but the game has been out for almost 2 months now and there has been mlg gametypes since pretty much day one. So it still seems like they could have released it earlier imo.

[heuer89]

Yeah but the game has been out for almost 2 months now and there has been mlg gametypes since pretty much day one. So it still seems like they could have released it earlier imo.

The reason it takes so long for playlists to come out is that they have to go through Bungie's map-testing and gametype-testing methods to make sure there are no easy exploits available. MLG is usually really good about about this especially with hard-kill / soft-kill zones being available for placement on the maps. This is actually quite fast for a playlist like this to be out since it was only possibly submitted to Bungie once they had decided on v2 gametypes.

[Hi im Jakey]

To be honest i still think we're lucky to even have a playlist. People seem to expect it now but it really was a massive step in H3 and people should be grateful to have it.

[MichaelMongrel]

Anyone know what time it gets put in?

[Imp3nded]

Sometime in the morning. There is never a set time. Bungie employees have to get in and 'flip the switch'.

[DROpher]

Anyone know what time it gets put in?

Well, it was officially midnight west coast time like 45 minutes ago and it isn't up yet. I'm assuming it will be kind of like when the beta let out and be uploaded around regular like morning time? like 10 west coast possibly? I don't know that is just my assumption.

[MichaelMongrel]

That was what I was afraid of. I'm on a terrible sleep schedule, so it's disappointing not getting it now. But I didn't have my hopes up too high.

[Crinkly Duke]

Can't wait any longer for this to come out. So bored at work, no one is calling in with any Xbox issues. LFG!!!
