The issue with Reach is everyone wanted Halo 1 back, 2 and 3 were disappointments to many in the competitive scene and everyone was hoping they learned for these mistakes and would revive the series and all they got was a Halo 3 remake with jet packs

Very low prize money and no Tastosis makes this an almost home run Starcraft tournament.

I really don't want to see SC2 try and go to the TV, its not the right medium for it. Online streaming is perfect for the scene, there's no need to bring SC2 to the TV.

I think BW in korea proved that no one wants to watch video games on TV

I'm holding out for the MLG shirt that says "I play with the marines" at which point I will buy like 30 of them and then proceed to question my own sanity. It'll be awesome.

The people not understanding the reach hate, a few of us long time halo players listed the differences between the games during the thread. The problem is the dev's didn't listen to the community at all. So the Pro's who are getting paid by MLG can say whatever they please. The whole community got shit upon, and now no-one plays. The people who mostly enjoy reach from what I've seen are new to the series.

Rather than balance the game / add more skill. Bungie basically said.. you know what would make Halo better!!! Jetpacks..! and there was a collective groan throughout the whole community.

The maps are awful.. like I said earlier.. the MLG maps are actually remakes of Halo 2 maps because most of the new ones are awful and completely unmemorable.

What makes a good E-Sport is a game that is balanced, simple to understand what's going on. Halo: Reach added too many unnecessary gimmicks to both the core gameplay and the maps. The game no longer plays like "Halo" it plays like Call of Quake.. team edition. which no one asked for.

I know a lot of people here probably don't play FPS or at least didn't play the earlier ones. So I'll try and make an SC analogy. People say Blizz don't listen. But at least they took Steppes and Kulas out of the map pool. Imagine playing poorly designed maps like Kulas all the time and rather than keep the gameplay principles of the SC series.. they just said lol.. lets add siege tanks that fly. cos that'd be awesome! Rather than actually giving a crap what the community wanted.

It's their game, they can do what they want, but as it's us paying and playing.. they should maybe pay attention, rather than just shit upon us with their "knowing best"
