AFK Detection is Inadequate

Just finished my 2nd ranked win and had an idiot AFK the whole duration. Throughout the match I checked in on him and not once did he move from spawn. Stood still the whole match feeding the opposing team 12 free kills. I had to haul so much -Yoink!- to carry the game and scrape the win. Seeing this POS get credit for the ranked win just makes me so frustrated with this game. From my understanding the game is supposed to auto kick you if AFK for too long so what the hell happened? He was tour 8 so I imagine he’s probably been running this stint for a while.

I thought you could report players in-game nowadays (I don’t play multiplayer)?

In any case, you can report them over on the Halo Support site. On the landing page, click the ‘Halo Safety’ tile

I did report him with the category of other (because cheating and offensive don’t quite describe it), but there’s no way of knowing if my report went anywhere. Regardless he should’ve been kicked much earlier in the game if the AFK detection was worth a damn.

I do this but when selecting ‘Other’ my comment is always something along the lines of AFK for majority or whole match, which is griefing imo.

You can’t be afk for 0.2 seconds in the lobby but you can AFK a whole match? Pls 343, this fix is long overdue.

Sadly they haven’t done a proper afk system. For a while they had matchmaking afk system to stop afk players queing up for a new game but players seem to have got around that since they stay active on purpose then afk as soon as game starts so those players are doing it on purpose and 343i have been pretty much been silent about doing anything further about these types of players.
