The weekly challenge is so boring, it's like watching paint dry. I don't want to play dumb old firefight. I know Bungie use to reset rank for AFK, but does 343?

-Don't tell me to ask this on waypoint because I'm banned there until May 1st.

Play Hard, Play Nice

Inheritor# ... ah hell, no one cares anymore lol

If Bungie banned people for AFK, I'm pretty sure 343i does too. I heard they're more strict.

If you don't want to play dumb old Firefight, why don't you set up Custom Challenges for Multiplayer Matchmaking?

Here's a solution to your problem... Don't play firefight! *gasp*

I mean I know cR means so much to people, but instead of playing for credits you should play the game for fun.

You can go AFK BUT you must make sure you get at least one (1) kill before the game ends.

The system is setup to catch people who fail to get any kills.

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

343 hasn't changed the banhammer at all, it is the same as Bungie left it... so yes, but if you are smart there are ways to AFK without getting banned

getting 1 kill every game will still get you banned.

SO tell me how to do it. I have 46/75 on the weekly challenge.

Where's LoneWolf when you need him? lol But yes, I'm pretty sure they ban.

  • 04.29.2012 12:44 PM PDT

If you have to ask, you shouldn't do it.

Not true. Someone AFK'ed their way to Inheritor and he has yet to be banned.

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

Was afraid all the old faces were gone.

On topic, 343's "WAI AH B& thread" is getting more posts lately, so I think they definitely ban.
