HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Yay for the new general chat section to help vent my ever-growing rage

The topic subject basically says it all. A few months ago I was contacted by Synide (MLG employee) to develop a camera system for them to use in their upcoming television series airing on USA. I was excited to say the least, so I agreed to help them out and send them new builds of my trainer from time to time. All I heard was "how much they loved it" or "do this and do that and we will send it to the guys over at USA and work something out". Me being the trusting person that I am, worked without any written type of agreement. I mean, who would have thought a major company such as MLG would fuck you over?...Obviously I was wrong, because they sure as hell did

The first show of their series aired November 11th. Afterwards I tried contacting Synide to get a direct link to the video but he never responded. Finally someone posted a link and I got to watch it a few days later...I was surprised to see how much they actually used my trainer. It's a pretty major part of their show so I again tried contacting Synide to follow up on our unwritten agreement and see if maybe I could get a few bucks in return, I mean, after all...they are profiting off of mine and Kornman00's hard work. Same thing as before, he never responded (go figure). So I decided to call it a loss and learn from my mistake of trusting people, even major companies

Then I found out a couple days after they didn't even show the common courtesy to include me in the credits, which scroll at a speed exceeding that of light . Feel free to contact Synide or MLG in general and tell them what pathetic excuse of a business they are running...It's not nice to dick other people around and stab them in the back once they've gotten everything they need. I don't appreciate it and I'm sure the rest of you will find it disturbing as well.

I've downloaded the video and put it on my server for those of you who wish to see what the hell it is I'm even talking about ;P

trep and I were planning a raid. >_>

But seriously...that's really lame of them, I say flaming crossbow time.

I knew that this was gonna happen. I heard about the MLG thing in advance to the movie and also heard that they were going to use your trainer. I just knew that they would fuck you over and make all the profit.

Who wants to go on a AIM rant with me?

Posting his AIM was the stupidest thing you ever did.

I don't think so. I think he wanted people to flame him and annoy him to the break of dawn.

Which is utterly immature if you ask me...

No, spamming of his aim wasn't my intentions...having those voice their opinions was, but I took it down out of respect (not sure why), you can contact him through the site instead...

Wow...that's messed up. Sorry to hear about that, but at least you have halomods to enjoy your work and give you credit

I HAVEN'T POSTED IN AGES LMFAO.

k.

I feel sorry for you Mike, if you want we can make this into a war. Just www.clickhere.com to buy guns etc. Once you're all set up, give me a ring: +44 0117 9090249

i dont think u can sue them unless u have written documents but i may be wrong.
Fuck MLG the people playing aren't even the best.

I don't plan on suing them lmao. I wasn't even in it for the money, I just enjoy doing this stuff...it's just pretty shady to not give any credit and make me believe I would be getting paid for such things...

Hikaru's gon round up hiz anime frends and shewt teh bad guyz!!


BANG BANG!


On topic: Shame on you MLG! To stoop so low as to take advantage of a kind hearted Mike, for shame!

I just watched a bit of the video...it's pathetic that they couldn't even give you credit at the end. Not that it matters, but I've lost a lot of respect for MLG.

How could you of lost a lot of respect? You should've lost it all! How dare they do that to Mike, I will kill their loved ones.

MLG is a joke anyways.

That's gay! Sorry to hear that happened to you, that is fucked up to do something like that, your hard work should never be used for stuff like that again.

I lost like all my respect for them. We respect you here, and I heard LOTS of other places do also. I appreciate it soo much!! =]]

And I wouldn't exactly call them a big company... maybe a small group or firm, but nothing more. They're just a lot more famous than most other leagues.

Big enough to give away million-dollar contracts and hundred-thousand dollar prizes...not to mention their own nationally televised 13 show series on USA

Damn...I remember talking to you when you first had that "agreement"...Sounded so awesome, just a pity it didnt really work out...

I may actually contact him...But I don't know how to approach it...Aggressive (not threatening), the whole guilt trip thing or just saying that I dislike them for such an act....hmmmm

Perhaps you could show a bit of maturity and realize that one persons decision(mistake) does not reflect the company as a whole, and stop making death threats...
