[MLG Playlist for Gears of War 3]NEW DEVELOPMENTS?! + SUPPORT BALLIN'S NEW THREAD

[Poteven]

One of the main problem about MLG GOW is not only about the game, it's about MLG itself. They do not give enough vision of MLG Gears, it's always about Halo, Halo, Halo. When you go on their wbsite, the first thing you see is '' Timeout with Tsuared'', Timeout with Roy'', etc, and if you're lucky MAYBE you will have a news about gears on mainpage.

Still not getting it....so sense you cant play the way you want to play... you dont play it at all.

At events, Gears 2 would be played with ragdolls, pre TU6 shotgun, and other things that are quite literally gamechanging, which MLG could do nothing about because of logistics. This game could only be prepared for on LAN, as scrimming was impossible online due to the differences in the game once connected to XBL. It would have been near impossible for teams to get any kind of serious practice in, ever, which is pretty unsustainable in a competitive environment.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's the gist of it.

Ok not trying to sound like a ass or anything...but so many of want to play gears MLG... So why not do your scrims/practice online and when its LAN time adjust for the smokes and what not..... and game on?

I just dont understand why you need a playlist to do this... there are so many game torneys that get played LAN/online without a playlist... I would rather epic use the time a man power to make the game itself better than trying to cater to such a small number of people.

1. Because there isn't an option for that, at all.

2. This thread is very very very old, and I'm hoping to get another thread up with a more relevant title and purpose.

Halo mania has peaked already IMO, and it's time for another game to take the reign.

We have to take it slow lets try and get epic and MLG to work together first. If we can get the game on the circuit then we can work on getting more and more Gears content on the front page. Baby steps are first tho.

Weapon balances are different. It's not just about Rags or no Rags.

when the game online is completely different from LAN, you are not able to practice for it. There was a glitch(ragdoll glitch) before that made it so u can play with LAN settings. that glitch was eventually patched. If you've ever been to an MLG Event or saw some gameplay, you would notice that some matches took really long, because it is pretty easy to camp, thus making it boring to watch. MLG is reaching out to Epic to try to help improve the gameplay, and make it the best it can be. We are not asking to completely recreate the game to benefit us. we are just making small suggestions to make the game more competitive. Thats why we need Epic's help

This is why i never really liked MLG. GOLF is boring....its NOT fun to watch but does that mean its not competitive... of course not. changing the game to fit the way you want to play it, is a dumb request and a slap in the face of EPIC who spends so much time and money making the game they envisioned... only to have MLG ask them to spend more turning to into what they want it to be.

Yeah I know but when GOW 1-2 were MLG, they had not enough visibility on the MLG website, and one reasons they drop GOW 2 was ''not enough spectators'' if I can say it like that.

Thanks for the reply Epic! I love this game and completely believe MLG can work with Epic to make this game great for the competitive crowd. My fingers are crossed and I appreciate any consideration you give towards these thoughts. Thanks so much Epic!

1. You need to understand that when you practice w/o smokes and get thrown into a situation with an EARTHSHATTERING game changer such as smokes, you would have to adjust just about all of your strategies that you have been working on for months at a time.

2. To be honest this thread should really be about adding GOW3 to the MLG circuit by a collaboration between Epic and MLG to come to some agreements that benefit both companies.

its not just us. even casuals have issues with the game. like host, the range of the Gnasher, connection/lag issues. we are not asking to make any significant changes to the game. i personally dont care what smokes are used. as for the MLG playlist, it is not a necessity, but it definitely helps for practice, and those looking to get into MLG. and the MLG community is not a small group. MLG as a company grows drastically year after year.

I hope Skyllus creates the new thread, so we can get a fresh new start on the proposition.

[LobotiCasta+ion]

Some news is better than no news.

yea, this thread is a out of date. we need to recreate it. not just MLG playlist, but just the general topic of MLG and GoW3

[KanGaRoo]

Personally, I just want balance, private match customization, and for all updates to also update Lan play as well. This, to me, is the foundation Gears needs to be competitive.

yea, much props to Cliff. together we can make this happen

[PiBB]

Thats dosent ansewr my question... MLG CAN STILL play Gears2 on LAN right? So why dont they play it?

It's basically like this..... If you train a certain way and then you throw a variable when you get to the tournament it's like you trained for the wrong thing get me?

[KanGaRoo]

Thanks Cliff, you are the man! I am reserving and paying for my Epic edition in full today!

[PiBB]

Dedication^^ Haha I want to but I wanna see what it comes with first
