MLG, in collaboration with Sledgehammer Games, Activision, and other partnered tournament organizations, have released the official MLG Variant “Version Two” game types, settings, and restrictions.
Please note, that this ruleset is subject to change prior to the event, MLG Columbus on November 28-30. These small changes were made from competitors feedback from the past week’s propoint tournaments hosted by MLG and UMG.
The only major changes in the “Version Two” ruleset is that there eight Game Types were removed, and all the Support Modules have been banned. Surprisingly the gamemode Uplink and Exo Abilities: Stim and Cloak seem to remain the ruleset for this version.
