I don't know how any sort of confirmation of an MLG playlist would happen soon, unless MLG actually confirms Halo 4 for the Pro Circuit... and if they do confirm it for competitive play again they have to confirm settings for the game and fix the current bugs in the game to make sure they aren't manipulated for use in tournaments or online play.

MLG playlist probably won't be released for a while, MLG doesn't even technically have "Official" settings yet, an another event is not even confirmed yet. So until the day where they do release information on whether they will continue Halo on the Pro Circuit, don't expect an MLG playlist until a little while longer, or even at all. Sorry if it at all sounds pessimistic, I just feel that Halo in the MLG community is a Phoenix rising from its ashes, and is still struggling to get to its feet again on the competitive scene.

I am not promising anything but I will definitely try running games if you want to. I'll PM you on XBL too my GT is the same as my 343i username. Here's a link to my stats just in case you wanted it: https://app.halowaypoint.com/en-us/Halo4/General%20PWNFACE/wargames/

Already what?

For anybody who missed the Championship last night, the first ever Halo 4 Champions are Warriors (Legit, Ninja, Ryanoob, Goofy). They swept Ambush (Snip3down, ApG, F0rmal, Heinz) in a best-of-7 series, in an exciting match.

for anybody having issues getting the halo 4 tournament stream to work off of the MLG website just click here on the video window to watch http://www.twitch.tv/mlg_halo_4 I hope nobody missed that last series of FJ vs Triggers Down, unexpectedly tight series with TD winning 2-1. I'm just absolutely shocked they managed to do so well against a team that had a lot of positive news coming into this event

Thanks for the link I got busy with my family and actually missed a lot of todays broadcast. I'll be sure to be a lot more helpful with announcements tomorrow

his gt exists, theres just a space between x06 and death. He simply typed it in wrong at registration

There is another MLG Classic match lined up but the teams are still TBD. The First Matchup is still to be confirmed, but the official MLG Schedule lists the Match to be occuring. This will of course be an epic rematch of the 2009 Anaheim National Championships, where TD won the series 6 to 5 finishing off the series in dramatic fashion with an extremely tight game 10 on Construct TS, and an amazing game 11 where TD dominated Str8 Rippin to win the National Championship. I know I'm looking forward to this matchup, and so should everyone else ANOTHER IMPORTANT UPDATE! Plans for a 2v2 of OGRE 1 and 2 vs Roy and Lunchbox have been confirmed by The Halo Council, this will be the first MLG event OGRE 1 will be playing at since his announcement of retirement from competitive play

I literally posted the exact same topic this morning at 7:30... Why is there all of a sudden TWO MLG Forums??

This thread is for the upcoming Halo 4 MLG tournament in Dallas this November 2nd through the 4th. You can discuss the upcoming event here, and post any comments or feelings about it. To avoid any confusion, yes it is before the actual release date which is November 6th. Obviously there isn't a favorite team yet to win yet, but the crowd favorite is sure to be Instinct; consisting of Roy, Lunchbox, Ogre 2, and IGotUrPistola. The following links will allow you to find out more about the tournament. More links may be added at a later time to make information more easily available, such as direct links to the current stream. If you are to lazy to click the links I will have all the basic Info in the next post General Tournament Info: http://www.majorleag...ent-information Broadcast Schedule: http://www.majorleag...adcast-schedule Prize Info: http://www.majorleag...vent_127_prizes Spectator Pass Purchase, Note that this does not allow you to compete : http://store.majorle...ll-championship The Commentators will be be Bravo, ElamiteWarrior and U4ix. I will be keeping everybody updated on the event all Saturday and Sunday as the event truly unfolds, I will be commenting here on this thread and also tweeting,@GeneralPWNFACE, about it both of those days. Friday I won't be able to due to work constraints, and if I am capable to keep this thread updated on Friday, it would not be all that frequent because Friday night will only be Pro Scrimmaging, to adjust to the game and to learn the maps in the game. I'm sure other people will be more than willing to keep people updated on Friday anyway Hopefully this tournament will be a great one and will keep Halo on the Pro Circuit for a long time to come The Broadcast Schedule Friday, November 2 – 5:00pm – Midnight CST (Broadcast): First Look Game Analysis - Bravo, Elamite and pro players will provide an in-depth first look at the game including a Pro analysis of new weapons, gametypes, maps, and features.

This starting strat is interesting it's not my style, but its effective in it's own way. Sending all four in push towards rocket is smart in a few aspects, but can lead to a few certain downfalls if there is a small misstep. Sending all four to get rockets basically assures that you get the rockets off start, but the three players that do take the rocket hall push will be guaranteed to have plenty of nade damage, which if that teams "sniper" has a quick and accurate shots (i.e. F0RMAL), could take down the man that is flanking the group from the opposing team, and leave the group of three weak, with no backup. However if the man does get through and the sniper is either not paying attention to callouts or doesn't even have a mic, then in a CTF match you would have more than likely three opposing players down to start off from the rockets and you could get an easy flag cap to start off the match, assuming like I said that the sniper wasn't paying attention or was just bad. I like this strat but I don't like that the main slayer on your team wouldn't be grabbing your team's sniper rifle to begin the match, at least until rockets are secure. However, if you are playing with a team without a clear cut main slayer with a decent sniper shot, then this would be the perfect strat since nobody would have the name on the sniper to start off the match. However the mid game setup is pretty solidly said, its one that the team I play with use on a frequent basis, and its usually super effective EDIT: Just out of curiosity, do you think that Halo 4 MLG will actually have Pit? It's my personal favorite to play but I don't know if they will bring it back, since a lot of the maps from H4 are supposed to be symmetrical for the most part to help with the competitive Halo scene.

For me personally I would be mad if they increased the ban past 10 minutes, because whilst i'm at my dorm at school, if I play halo, the internet connection there will often get dropped because the server is overloaded, especially during finals week. I often get rage messages from people who complain that i left the game in the early stages and its all my fault that they lost, but in reality its because my internet connection sucks and my college dorm pretty much uses a potato as a router

I always seem to have trouble finding players to 1v1 with so I'm just gonna make a thread for it. The rules of the 1v1 are: Current MLG V7 settings First to 15 kills MLG maps only, please I'm doing this purely to improve my game due to taking a brief hiatus from Halo and along with that my DMR and Sniper shot getting really rusty, so I'll play as long as the other player wishes to continue, even if I'm getting absolutely destroyed Just respond to this thread, I'll add you on XBL and we can scrim for as long as you want to continue

However, not everyone on Noble Team was a Spartan III

It really depends on if you are playing LAN or over XBL, over XBL there really isn't a good way to fix this, because this is simply the host having a bad ISP, If its local, then it may be a problem with your Xbox itself or the disc

I completely agree with you on the party greater than the team size, its bs when you get teamed up with a team of 5 or 6 and the one's that end up on your team end up lowering your shields, suiciding or TK'ing the enite match, it really sucks. But I wouldn't worry too much about it happening to you, it's only happened to me twice, and when I was watching the stream they said it was the first time that had EVER happened to them, and they are an Inheritor rank

So this hasn't happened to me in a while, but once in a blue moon when I play Reach when I'm in a party with a single friend, the game will put us on opposite teams, and while watching someones live stream on Twitch.tv tonight it happened to them, exactly how does this happen?

The voices in my head say I'm just too COOL

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure, I know for sure that he's running games with Classic now because at the UGP LAN in Chicago this weekend he played with them and won the tournament. I'm not entirely sure he is not on Str8, because Ninja was playing with Classic as well for the tournament, and there really hasn't been discussion about him leaving str8.... yet. However, I really don't see Ninja and Mikwen splitting up, they have been teaming together for forever and their playing styles complement each others so well. However, I really don't think Str8 will ever permanently disband, whenever you have a veteran pro like T2 on the team you are bound to attract from other pro vets to hotshot rookies. The only way that Str8 Rippin will ever go down is if T2 loses interest in the game and quits halo, or joins another team. Edit: Maybe ask Biggles directly he's a bit more knowlegable than I am, I asked the question a few days ago and I'm still not entirely sure. I'm an avid MLG follower, however I have NO clue when it comes to this topic if Mikwen isn't on Str8 anymore

I agree with you on everything totally everything, however with the issue of BR Vs DMR, I realize that you didn't really want to delve into it, I just personally believe that both DMR and BR should be in MLG, just different loadouts, but obviously without any AA's included, AA's just ruined the gameplay of MLG. Also, a lot of pros really got big in the reach era of MLG and with the introduction with the DMR, just as Royal 2 of Status Quo, and I believe that whenever people like that join playlist or at tournament, would enjoy the option to choose, rather than learn the one they were unfamiliar with in the first place. However, if they don't return one or the other for playlist and tournaments I wouldn't blame them, introduction of the DMR to start with was just a bad idea, with having to learn a new precision weapon, it made lots of older pros from H2 and H3 frustrated, especially with the introduction of Bloom.

This idea in theory would be cool in itself, but I think that remaking CE was an ode to the great beginning of the series and possibly to get the Halo community used to the idea of a new storyline starting in Halo 4. I realize this thread was posted before even CE was announced to be in dev, but for anybody else staying loyal to this thread at all or just first looking on it, H2: Anniversary would be sweet, but not likely
