He didn't read the OP, the policy he was upset about was fair.
Still sucks he's banned though

As long as nobody in your family has seen Se7en you should be good to go with the spike grenade.
We lost him for a couple weeks, but it looks like his post turned things around as CNN is reporting that she will now be permitted to wear the head scarf.
RE: MLG--not going to that site. No longer a fan. Some other organization(s) should handle Pro Halo from now on.

I hope it reaches the top but ultimately this vote means jack shit. The number of viewers tuning in (assuming Halo 4 does feature on the circuit) will make or break Halo's competitive future prospects.

I think I'm not going to play BTB in Reach anymore after last night. When our party grows to more than 5, we should just split into two parties from now on.
On a more positive note, Multi-Team is awesome.
TEAM SLURP SLURP!
Frankie bulletin this week? Playlist updates?

He needs to learn when to slow his roll. I understand he's passionate but he's gone after a lot of people with that attitude and a) it'll get you banned b) it shuts people down immediately from listening to what you have to say.

Halo will win by the weight of our Juniors. (also people keep posting the AR, needs moar BR!)

I wasn't really commenting on the fairness of his ban, but yeah, I agree.
Although I've seen people not get banned for far worse than what he did. Then again, who am I to judge?
My problem is it's the pre patch AK74u from Blops.

i doubt it will do anything useful. i would imagine mlg knows fans want halo, they just cant get sponsors, and not enough people watch.
it's a shame, but hopefully halo 4 will make some sort of comeback
Well I voted for the Bolter too from Warhammer, I'm sure I'll be like the only one.

So does using the BR, yet everyone licks its arse (hey, I like it too
). I'm just asking overall.I think regular grenade feels more powerful, bouncing off floor for an area effect is better for me than trying to stick.
I don't think it's an awareness thing. Hell, we know Sundance reads this very thread. MLG is no doubt very aware that Halo is an important part of their history and most likely will play a large part in the future success of their company, right now I'm sure it simply makes no business sense to host a Halo tournament. I think MLG has trapped itself in a corner, honestly. Running their style of tournaments has a huge amount of overhead - from renting out a convention center to streaming hundreds of matches to handing out prizes, it's daunting and probably not sustainable. Will be interesting to see what happens if (when) Starcraft 2 sees a dip in popularity.
Yet Sundance seems to ignore that fact. Wasn't there an interview a few weeks ago where Sundance was asked about the history of MLG and he completely ignored Halo until the interviewer asked him directly 'What about Halo?' and even then he spoke about it as little as possible.
I don't have an exact source offhand but it's a relatively well known limitation. Games on Demand games use a different subsystem. XBLA and content packages are still under the old system.
Same reason with the 16GB limit for USB drives, it's a limitation of how they set the 360 up.
If people keep supporting other smaller tournaments like the upcoming Chicago tournament maybe MLG will realize there is a market for Halo, even if it is smaller than the SC2/LoL scene. If Halo was making MLG money before, I'm sure it can do the same now, even if the profit margins are smaller than what SC2 is making.
I'd rather the future of competitive Halo get away from MLG if possible.
Only reason MLG was king with Halo for so long was the fact they shut out every other group trying to run competitive Halo.
Halo has never made MLG a profit.
Was that available in the Demo? I remember a "sniper" type gun that was a one hit kill with head shots and a ton of fun to "quick-scope". I almost bought the game from that one gun because it was so satisfying.
I'm sure it was paying the bills and all of the staff a wage. How would the league still be around otherwise?

Which has always made me wonder why we don't see more games that are to big to be arcade games released on GoD. We saw it with the Resident Evil HD games and Crysis but I can't think of any other games. The whole time Just Ad Water was bitching about the 2 gig limit for arcade games when making Stranger's Wrath HD I kept thinking "Why not make it a games on demand game?"
Anakin has stated that MLG was paying out of pocket for a lot of the Halo tournaments. Even when they would sell out it still wouldn't even cover the Halo prize money, let alone the venue and other expenses.
They're just going to keep leading people on by saying "we're trying", even though MS hands out broadcast license for their games like candy.
Yep and yep. See also: buying out vaguely competing Smash communities and then dropping the game.
MLG's books have been notoriously in the red, and this is not Halo's fault. Going around wasting money on exclusive licenses and buying out competitors is going to make you spend more money than you're bringing in. Now they're just trying to be the Arena Football League to Korea's NFL.
Releasing on Games on Demand required you to ship at least 3 games on the 360 (might be a bit hazy on that one) and required you to actually release at retail first. The retail requirement they've slowly been relaxing, but only for big companies and the rare oddity like the one Japanese game you can buy in the US. Just Add Water wouldn't be big enough to get the retail exemption.
The bolter is the default assault rifle-ish gun, I listed it not necessarily because I specifically like how it is portrayed in Space Marine, but I like bolters in general as they appear aesthetically and work in tabletop games/etc.
The rifle you're talking about is the Stalker bolter, and yes its amazing. I use it in multiplayer all the time with the burst perk, which makes it into a mini-BR; actually its stronger than a BR because you can get a 2sk with it if you aim well enough. Shoots a 2 round hitscan burst, bloom resets almost instantly; exactly the way I wish bloom acted in Reach.
Popping ork heads with the stalker bolter is amazing.
To be GoD, don't you have to have a retail release first? I don't think they allow direct to digital GoD. Probably part of their whole curation policy for digital, which needs an overhaul.
The size cap has been a running joke from the get go. Remember when it was something like 150MB? Every time a big enough release comes along, they up the size (like Castlevania SotN forcing the first increase).
Interesting. I had forgotten about Cave, which is probably the best example of the bizarre quirks of the system: of all things to go into GoD, whyTF did they pick the creepy loli shooter? I assume to reward Cave for being a staunch supporter in Japan, but geez, why not a better / less creepy Cave shooter?
ArchedThunder said:
Shows what I know. But I guess it's really more illustrative that the system today is working on exceptions. Like how Minecraft gets free patches. Unlike the old days when Castlevania prompted an increase in the XBLA file size, if Minecraft had required 2.5 gigs, I bet they'd have just given Minecraft a pass.

You'd think they would make an exception for an HD version of a game that was an Xbox exclusive.
Also that Japanese game is DeathSmiles 2, they released the original at retail in the states but for some reason only on GoD for the sequel.
Crysis, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Code Veronic, DeathSmiles 2. None of these got retail releases on Xbox, at least in the states. 3 of them did in Japan.
There is a rule if the game sells over 1 million copies it can go onto Games on Demand, Strangers Wrath just barley missed that mark.

That makes no sense at all. I doubt DeathSmiles 2 sold over a million in Japan, being a 360 exclusive and all.
I never did get to play that game, was it any good?

Of course. Deathsmilies 2 sold 1 million copies in Japan...
Wow, I didn't even notice until you pointed it out just now.
Does that mean I'm cool and accepted?!
And Cave has been Xbox exclusive over there all generation, so I could see MS doing them a favor.
Honestly, competitive TF2 would be pretty interesting to watch, not to mention it's entertainment value.
