MLG needs more variety!

[Spaceneil8]

1.
The weapons are getting really boring! There are only two major power weapons; Sniper and Rockets.

We need more power weapons in the circuit. Maybe we can have map specific power weapons, instead of a sniper on every non-foundry map and rockets on every non-foundry map - guardian.

I support Plasma Rifle, and Splazer for MLG!

Plasma Rifle is a power weapon because 2 shots = no shields
Splazer wouldn't be over powered because it has a 4 sec charge time, and only 5 shots.


2.
The maps aren't colorful enough

Guardian=Green
Pit=Yellow
Narrows= Gray
Construct= Brown
Amp= Brown
Lockdown= Brown
Ons= Brown

Where's Blue? We need Cold Storage!
Where's Purple? We need Assembly!
Where's orange? We need 1-2 sandbox maps!
We already have green so we don't need Iso
We already have gray so we don't need Orbital
Blackout has too many colors so we don't need it.

Please post a #2 if you agree with the second one.
Please post a #3 if you agree with the both.

I agree with your Sp'laser idea, but it might be too overpowered. 180-second spawn, maybe? It would do best on Construct, I'd imagine.

[.Trum]

Splaser would definitely be over powered.. I really don't think that they would be able to add another power weapon, maybe a fuel rod cannon? but I feel like that would be a horrible mistake.

Ps. Amp, Ons, and Lockdown are green. ;-)

[Haynes-]

Wait, you don't like the maps MLG pics because they are a certain color? What kind of bs is that?

Plasma Rifle I can see but not laser, not in a million years.

[devinwearsprada]

Nope, MLG is great the way it is. Sorry if you dont like the colors.

if it bothers you, play in black and white, then they will all be the same :)

[DeViKo]

I can fix your problem...

1. Stop playing MLG.
2. Go into Social slayer & add everyone you play with for 5 games straight.
3. Start a custom & invite everyone from your list.
4. Once you get a full party do steps 5 & 6
5. Pick any of the terrible maps you said should be in MLG.
6. Change the game type to fiesta.

& There you go now you have a variety of weapons, color, and action.

So you are happy, and MLG stays the same so everyone else is happy.

Your welcome ;-)

[BStew]

MLG does a ton of testing to determine what makes the best and fairest gameplay. Saying that they should change it because the maps aren't colorful enough is absolutely ridiculous. First, Bungie made the maps, not MLG, so take it up with them. Second, color has nothing to do with how a map plays, so it is irrelevant.

As for your weapon suggestions, the laser is so easy to shoot, and has way too much range, not at all a competitive weapon. The plasma rifle might work in some places, but its not needed.

This post makes aww mee so horny me love you long time.


Seriously though other than your suggestion about the PR; which -nasty- and a lot of us discussed at length as the best option for another weapon (I'd like to see it replace mauler on guardian); the rest of your post basically made my eyes bleed.

[DownRize]

maybe add the pr but everything else you said was absolutely hot garbage. quit MLG now!

[iGenocidei]

V6 just came out. Wait for V7 to make suggestions. Im sure assembly and a couple sandbox maps will be added and your rods and cones will be happy with the colors. As for the laser, way to over powered. The plasma rifle is a good addition but im sure it was tested for V6 and was left out for a reason.

[guyah]

mlg needs more cowbell.

[roshambo1]

Maybe you shouldnt play MLG if your worried about colors.

If by moar cowbell you mean the cowbell skull which increases the power of explosives I've got a fever and the only prescription is...

i agree mlg needs more variety but in terms of having more/different games on the circuit

everything else you said...

.../fail

[NoethIsCool]

Plasma rifle might be a good addition as some people have said....but in no way would i want to see the laser in MLG

[Chhipz Ahoy]

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE COLOR BROWN??? :[

[UpperAka]

dont fix something if it isnt broken

[tr00ble]

3. I agree with both points. First off the laser is not overpowered. I mean when rockets and laser are up, which one would you go for? most people would probably pick the sniper over laser too. Why? no charge time, no loud charge time, and you can do damage even if you don't get a kill. So in what way is the laser overpowered especially with only 5 shots? and that can be lowered i assume.

In terms of the colors, i just think we need to try and phase out all or all but 1 of the foundry maps, cuz not only are they laggy, but they look like crap, and it's much more pleasant to view games on "real" maps than forged foundry maps. But this isn't a huge problem IMO, just something that could be changed to make the game slightly better/more entertaining.

[-Player2-]

That sounds kinda ***

Plama rifle would ba good replacement for the mauler except for the fact that it never runs out of ammo. it takes like 5 min of constant shootin to use up all the energy, and also it takes 3 shots to make no sheild not 2

As for the spartain lazer, that compleatly defeats the purpose of MLG. mlg was disigned to be a fast paced game with a lot of team work required. this forces the player who has it to play a a much slower pace, finding the taget , trying to hide the beam while charging and then shooting them, all withouth being seen. if you havent noticed sensitvity is a lot like the snipe. if someone shoots you while its charging your aim is gone. the reason they have snipers is because in that senario you could still attemt a quick zoom, you wouldn't have to start the charge all over

as for maps your a big dumb idiot!!!! what should color have to do with what is competitive and what isn't

1. The weapons aren't boring to me and would def not watch live feed of splazers.
2. I didn't get attracted to MLG through colorful maps in the first place. As long as it's playable thats all that should matter. Not how aesthetically pleasing the selection of maps are.

[AJacobson]

I like how MLG is right now. There shouldn't be too many power weapons on each map. I think it takes away from the game.

[fkinmerck]

I love how this site bashes someone when they post their ideas. The OP obviously put in time to think out this thread and the least you people could do is not post some bullsh1t ass response. Whenever someone tries to state something that goes against the norm, it gets shot down immediately. Show respect.

[I BombeR I]

The guns I see that could work in MLG are: plasma rifle, shotgun, sword.

i somewhat agree with the thing ur saying about colors but not exactly. I am worried that in a little while MLG will be all foundry and sandbox and it will all look the same mundane colors. Now I also feel that being able to customize the map perfectly for MLG style is important (which is best done of foundry and sandbox), but I would love to see more textures, styles, genres, etc.

[gGambit]

lol what do you want to do about the colors man, go into forge and i try to make the colors on onslaught more friendly.

[lumini]

well, sandbox just came out so that should solve the map problem and as for the weapons, MLG uses weapons that will provide the most competitive play not the coolest looking. If you want to use those weapons, go play team slayer or something.

[Corrry]

Splaser would definitely be over powered.. I really don't think that they would be able to add another power weapon, maybe a fuel rod cannon? but I feel like that would be a horrible mistake.

Ps. Amp, Ons, and Lockdown are green. ;-)

Fuel Rod Cannon and Incineration grenades cause the framerate to drop and also causes lag I do believe.
I remember reading something about that on b.net when they were explaining why those weren't in the matchmaking maps.

[BAHanson41]

MLG is a more mature group than you are used to playing with. We like quality over quantity. Instead of us having 20 weapons that do almost the same thing,we don't waste our time on that. The variety in MLG doesn't come from weapons, colors, or "good-looking" maps, it comes from the variety of gameplay from those weapons. Instead of charging with weapons you have so many more options and abilities you wouldn't have anywhere else. So don't say we don't have variety if you don't know what our meaning of variety actually is. This game isn't centered around MLG, so go play TS or SS if you want to have variety of colors and rushing with different weapons.

His ideas are retarded, its main purpose is making the maps look pretty and colorful...

[GLewis]

plasma rifle would be a cool idea; however I dont really see myself dropping any other weapon for it or making a set up in order to get that weapon. Never know though. I think MLG has enough variety honestly.

[TheReaper11]

plasma rifle for good=)
but r u ***?!?!!? really? the colors affect ur gameplay? get out of MLg then!
well, first off, they came out with sandbox AFTER v6 came out, so wait for it and there will def be sandbox forge maps in v7, i can bet u money on it man!
second off, again, get out of MLG!

[stefkeeee]

MLG will be more colourfull after the mythic maps hit marketplace.
Then Killa kc will introduce his new map and assembly and everbody is happy.:wink:

While it wasn't the best way to go around saying it was the most truthful and hurtful at the same time in which case I support it.

[PH4zED]

one of the stupidest things i've ever read on these forums.

Halo 3 needs variety in weapons and gameplay (like CE). It doesn't need variety because of the color of the maps you buffoon.

[Dragull]

Weapons that would make the game better:

- Sword: it was used on H2, and it requires skill.
- Brute Shot: with this weapon players can exploit some maps boundaries, but since doing it is forbidden anyway, whats the problem?
- Plasma Rifle: no one uses Plasma Pistol, put this instead.
- Fire granades: way too cool to not being used.
- Equipaments like power drain, regenerator, etc: I know, they are very powerful, but what about using them as any other power weapon, with a high respawn time, with just one or two in the map?

Some maps could be added:

- Assembly
- Sandbox variants.
