Whoo! Rockets! lol.

Less BR Weight? Damn. I hate The Pit without BRs. Grifball? Meh. Don't like putting Heroic back in DLC maps at all.

[Zangief]

I look forward to some of the new changes, especially the MLG update. v5 settings are definitely an improvement over v4.

[calico]

I don't like that they took out ball on Guardian. Absolutely loved that gametype.

-KotH Amplified
+Ball Guardian

= win.

[Zangief]

They actually put it back in.

It has been updated since it was originally posted. I still have yet to play hill on Amp, but I think I will be with you on that one. But I do like TS AMP and CTF (even though that is not an official MLG game type).

[calico]

CTF Amp seems like it could work. Haven't ever played it though. Hope they don't take out Ball Guardian if it's going to stay on the circuit..

Although, I thought MLG always stuck with the whole, 11 gametypes thing? Putting Ball Guardian would make it 12

[Mind Slaver]

I can't wait to get my ass kicked in head to head! Less br weight = yay! (now only if i was good with ar...)

[DeluXe]

boo on the less br weighted games...and oddball on guardian is the ish

[Zangief]

New playlists are up, I played 1v1 a few times. The person who is ahead always has a red icon over them so that the other person can find them. This makes it so you can't camp, but it also makes it near impossible to hold a lead when you are playing against a person of comparable skill.

[calico]

yes! can't wait to get that ar warmed up. team slayer time! last resort anyone? standoff?

[Zangief]

And I thought equipment is dumb in team games, wait till some one drops a bubble shield in 1v1. A guy dropped a bubble shield top mid in Blackout and my game came to a screeching halt. I should have gone in the kitchen and gotten some food to kill the time while he sat in it. Fun can still be had in the 1v1 playlist, but its not like you will find me playing it over and over.

[mcduffinator69]

Snowbound should not be in that hopper.

[xtdcxballa]

i dislike they are toning down the amount of br starts in TS. That is bullshit

[mcduffinator69]

Yea it sucks, but mlg fans only make up about 7-8% of there online player base, they do it to keep the other 93% happy
