  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Achronos Just a few quick points. The guys who run MLG and the guys who are regularly playing on their touring tournaments are awesome guys - professional, excellent players. The "MLG" on the Internet, however, is composed of mostly a bunch of imposters who think that because they prefer playing the same gametypes as the official MLG tournament gametypes that they are somehow allowed to dictate how the game should be played to everyone who doesn't l ike to play like that. As to the animation glitching - as you might have noticed on Xbox Live, it is pretty impossible to police that kind of thing, even with judges. So, they simply allow it because they recognize that teamwork and communication are far more important to winning in Halo than any stupid animation glitch. Saying that 90% of the "real" tournament players would be helpless without animation glitches is utterly absurd, and is bordering on trolling. As for Lil' Poison, his parents know that the ESRB is meant as a guideline to assist parents in making appropriate choices for their children. Based on my knowledge of him and my exposure to you, Morpheus414, Lil' Poison is apparently more mature than you are (and he's not 3, I think he's like 9 or 10). Way to propagate ignorance, though. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Morpheus414 MLG=ballswallowers. And shame on Bungie for promoting a company that supports, exploits and includes Button Combos in their rules to help amplify their game. I guaranteee you if you take those animation stopping glitches away, a good 90% of these "pros" would be helpless in battle. And don't even get me started on Lil Poison. What kinda dumbass parent would give a 3 year old kid a box with a huge -blam!- 'M' on it?!? Double shame for condoning him, too. The world is going to hell in a handbasket and so help me, I'll help him out too.[/quote][/quote] Achronos, I just want to thank you for this post. This truly re-affirms my faith that bungie has been able to distinguish between the actual MLG community and the "poser" MLG community. It truly saddens me to see some of the opinions of some of the "Anti MLG players" on these boards, but I can't say I completely blame them. Based upon some of the posts I've seen on this forum from immature gamers claiming to be "MLG" players and community members, I can begin to understand how these opinions were formed. Personally, I have no problem with other players playing the game the way they choose. I would never knock another player for not liking or using MLG gametypes. I just hope that you won't discriminate and insult me because I enjoy playing that way. Insulting my likes, or making personal insults because I play a game differently than you is extremely unfair. I wish that every halo player could have a chance to compete at an event. It is truly an amazing experience, and I wish bungie would have had a chance to come to a full event. Almost every other event for the past two years has had over 180 teams show up for halo, and I hope bungie knows that. I'm glad bungie got a chance to appreciate the spectator side of MLG though. You really can't imagine it until you've actually experienced it first hand. Watching MLG grow over the past couple of years has been extremely rewarding and exciting to me. I hope to see Bungie even more involved in the future, and I thank them for all they have done in the past. On a separate note.....To those of you bashing "LiL Poison" or the parenting of his father. [b]How Dare You. [/b]99.9% of you have never, and will never meet either of them. How dare you judge either of them. Are you honestly going to tell me that you're going to criticize someone on their merit as a parent, when your exposure of them is limited to a few news articles and hearsay? I have personally met both LiL Poison and his father Sic Vic, and although my experience with both was short and limited, I've seen them both at events for several years now. I've sat down in a chair next to LP and I've played next to him for long periods of time. I've spoke to his father in person, and I can safely say that I was extremely impressed not only by the maturity and respect enumerating from his son, but by the amazing personality and responsibility of his father. I spoke to Sic Vic at my first tournament several years ago and it really amazed me to see how much Vic cares about his son. I cannot believe someone would actually criticize him for allowing his son to play a video game. The game is not a realistic game by any means. That was not it's intent. Contrary to what you believe, Vic is not some irresponsible, unfit parent, allowing his son to potentially harm himself or ruin his life. Vic would never do anything or allow his son to participate in anything that could potentially harm him. I have a ton of respect for Vic not lashing out against some of you. I doubt I could do the same in the same situation. I'll say it again. How dare you.
