I know what you were attempting, and not only was it not clever in any way, but it honestly makes no sense.

Crap! I better tell the engineering firm that I work for that I "fail to understand simple concepts".

Can't believe i actually agree with Panic... Basically he's saying there is only so much tweaking some settings can do. MLG is an upgrade from the regular playlists, but doesn't change the fact that the core mechanics of the game are flawed.

Btw the reason thats true is because of the lack of custom options. All bungie had to do is make options for everything they could think of. Then the casual gamers have their playlists, and MLG can make their community happy too. Without actually changing anything in the game they could've made everyone happy, but as usual, their ignorance ruined another game.

Some options i'm talking about

Bloom: On/Off
Shield Bleedthrough: On/Off
Individual Weapon damage
Rocket Damage Radius
Grenade Damage
Grenade Damage Radius
Grenade Fuse Time
Beatdown Lunge Radius
Movement Speed: Move adjustable (goes up by 5's 100,105,110,etc.)
Ditto for jump height and gravity.

All of that right there would be enough to make this game close to perfect

That could be said about any game ever made, though. It says a lot about a game when it has an insane amount of customization, and it is still a horrible game. I don't think there's a single console FPS out there that gives anywhere near the amount of customization that Reach(Or even Halo 3) do.

i doubt there is one person on reach that thinks it should be on

I've never even played Reach so I can't speak about its flaws. My response to Panic was in regards to his earlier message where I thought he was referring to the Bungie update(s) but he was actually talking about MLG tweaks.

Bloom in general is a good mechanic to have. The DMR's bloom, on the other hand, is ridiculously flawed and doesn't belong in any game. Shadowrun's rifle bloom was perfect. It didn't allow spamming, and took a bit of skill to use well.

I believe that's an indisputable fact, actually.

Panic, stop making sense, it's freaking me out... SRSLY

Most pros regard Shadowrun as a game taking the most individual skill in console fps with the only exception perhaps being Halo: CE

I've never played Shadowrun so i can't comment on the bloom, but i do think it's depressing that even though Bungie hired one of the people that designed the SR Rifle, the DMR is still a piece of shit.
