MLG

The "Official" major league gaming circuit. While MLG is well known, few outside of the Halo 2 community realize how much of a rift there is between MLG Halo 2, and real Halo 2. MLG has watered Halo 2 down to bare bones, eliminating everything that used to be fun about it, and eliminating the need for teamwork or weapon control. It has been turned into a shoddy version of Halo 1, where the only weapon used is the Battle Rifle. While cheating isn't prevelant as such, animation interupts are common, as are the button combinations that cause them, MLG claims that these require 'skill', just further proving that MLG has no regard for how the game was meant to be played. The true skill at Halo 2, as opposed to being good with one gun, is shown in Matchmaking, where legitimate level is all about skill--MLG players would whine and call those people SMG Noobs, because of their preference to start out with an SMG--and where knowing not only how to control power weapons, but also how to kill them using more common weapons is of extreme importance when one starts with only an SMG. Instead of having thought, MLG players prefer to turn Halo 2, quire possibly the most intensely thought based shooter that is played today into a twitch shooter
