The ongoing debate between MLG and casual/competitive (non-MLG) gamers rages on.

In the article at the link below there are veiwpoints from both the MLG community and a non-MLG gamer regarding Spectator mode in Halo 4.

For the record, I could care less if Spectator mode is in or out. As a competitive/casual gamer I see it as something fun, though also a crutch and “cheating” in a sense. My take on MLG players wanting it tells me that they want that crutch to get any advantage they can over their opponents. Granted everyone would have this ability to use, but still, isn’t it really cheating? If you’re SO pro, then you should NOT need Spectator mode.

MLG, please, do the rest of the Halo community a favor and quit trying to change a game to your liking. You are a small portion of the overall gamers out there. You have no relevance to this gamer’s longevity in Halo.

Yes, all the other games in MLG may have spectator mode. So what? That doesn’t make Halo any lesser of a game because it doesn’t have it. In fact, it makes it even MORE of a competitive game because you have to have better situational awareness rather than relying on a mode that allows you not to think as much or prepare for any situation the other team may be throwing at you.

Kudos to gunn3r11 for once again writing a great article.
