Super l33t MLG playlist added to Halo 3

by Dustin Burg { Apr 1st 2008 at 8:00AM }

Luke just informed us that the brand new (Team Hardcore replacing) Halo 3 MLG matchmaking playlist is officially live and ready to go. In a nutshell, the MLG playlist will incorporate a bunch of gametypes where players will see certain weapons removed, certain power-ups replaced, all equipment discarded, shields tweaked and speed increased all in an effort to make your Halo 3 experience more teamwork driven and skill-based. In other words, more MLG'ish. If you're a stickler for details, you can read all the MLG playlist specifics over at MLGPro.com. Now run forth, jump into the MLG playlist, test your team skills and try to become the l33t MLG player you've always wanted to be.

they need to do other things to lure players back to Halo 3, they need to take things from COD4 and apply them to Halo 3, like the sprinting option to run to a location or to dodge bullets, they need to give you the option to drop a grenade or shoot back before you die, also air strikes would help, theres just alot of things that need to be done on Halo 3 for it to be number 1 again and it will never be number 1 with its current state

"work as a team"? all mlg players care about are themselves and their battle rifles! *shakes fist*

@ Defiler, you basically want them to make Call of teh Haloz then?

i dunno what the deal with COD4 is, the single player was awesome, i just feel the multiplayer gets samey really fast. Those new maps do sort of add a bit a variety, all of the maps included with the game felt the same to me.

@Defiler - The only thing I agree with is sprinting. I would hate for Halo to become another military shooter. I think that the only thing that could make Halo 3 any better would be to add a sprint button. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

Calling in a banshee strike in halo would be awesome. Get 10 kills and call in a Scarab. ;D

That'd certainly spark my interest enough to make me play again, if only to check it out.

Not likely they are going to add sprints and airstrikes, etc. to Halo 3. It's probably not even possible. I agree a sprint would be cool, I believe they were going to add it for Halo 2 and decided it changed the play too much. Maybe they'll change things up a little in Halo 4.

Honestly though I don't see how people can complain about variety in gameplay with Halo. All the vehicles alone make it a much more varied and in my opinion, entertaining and fun, experience than COD4.

Halo maps have also always been more original, interesting, and fun than any other FPS has pulled off.
