AFK XP BOOSTERS ARE RUINING HALO 4 FOR EVERYONE !!!
I played Halo 4 with someone today who hadn’t played Halo 4 for a while needless to say the first game (BTIS) we got in had two AFK XP boosters that obviously weren’t playing and they had left themselves in matchmaking to gain a minimal amount of XP. This was beyond frustrating as it makes playing the game 10x harder because you are basically outnumbered (do you even care though 343 ?) they even had “MLG” as the service tag things.
The second game (CTF) we got in had 3 AFK XP boosters. After a being destroyed the person I was playing with went “-Yoink- this, its not even fun, I’m going back on Fifa”
So, long story short this person probably wont be playing Halo again.
343, you have made Halo a social hell hole, giving the competitive community one measly objective playlist isn’t good enough.
I could go on listing Halo 4’s Multiplayer problems but they have been listed on these forums many times before and you probably don’t care and I expect to get trolled by the 343 defense force below anyway.
I think what annoys me more is, despite this rant and everything I hate about Halo nowadays…I (not the COD fans that might have rented Halo 4 for the week) I !!, will still keep playing, still be putting up with the social hell hole that is Halo 4.
I cried when Cortana died, I cried even harder when I tried Matchmaking.
and cue the “umad bro’s?”
1.When somebody is AFK and isn’t getting killed by the same time over and over again,it isn’t boosting,it’s just being away.I can also forget to leave matchmaking and go to eat thus having the game run for me.Your information about boosting is so annoying
2.Cortana isn’t dead,and why are you all saying that you are crying?Is it because you guys don’t realise the ending is the ''I’ll be back ‘’ ending?

No actually your incorrect, I’ll correct you though don’t worry about it 
When people leave matchmaking running and they don’t play they get a tiny amount of XP just for being in the game, to some players (the Bieber/COD generation) XP hunting is the most important thing in relation to the game. It means they can get that armour piece they want a bit faster, or it means they can get to SRwhatever faster. All in all it just proves what a social hell hole Halo has become.
If you don’t get the Cortana reference just…just leave kid.
I actually rarely ever see AFK’ers in MP. 343 did right by rewarding active players a lot more.

343 defense force.

I hardly see AFK’s as well. You probably just have *****y luck.

This.

Did you expect anything less by posting negative feedback about them on their site? Are you really that stupid? First you complain about something that isnt worth complaining about, then you blame players actions on 343, then you start bashing people who tell you you’re just unlucky for getting matched up with crappy teammates.

Welcome to the forums. These threads are a regular thing. You don’t like it? Too bad. It won’t change.
Most of the afk’s i see are in S.O matchmaking, dont see much elsewhere anymore.

This. Usually in 4 player SOps there will be 1 selfish person who leeches off everyone else.
I must be really unlucky too, then. I get an afk-er on my team every 3 or 4 games. Like 4 or 5 times today I’ve found myself trying to remember someone’s gamertag so that I can “avoid” them once the game’s over.
Haven’t seen anyone AFK for a month now.
Damn, I must be lucky.

^^See, what you 343 defense force guys say now ?
Had it a lot in Spec Ops missions just to get the Legendary completion done without doing anything plus a victory is about 7k XP.
Shame there isn’t a time out auto kick in the game that kicks for inactivity.

Exactly.
There is a “sorta” auto-kick around 04:00 am Eastern - all of the servers reset. You can see the population completely dump, and then start to creep back up.
It does seem to be better on AFK’s - I hated the Reach players who would play FF and shoot one rocket and kill 7-10 covey, and then deliberately fly into the rafters of a building. They were still “playing” but not doing anything, and yes, it did “hurt me” if that was why I missed the bonus round/got killed 5 times instead of my one or zero.
I blame the MM screens as possibly causing unintentional AFK’s. I have thought I backed out to the menu, and started to walk away to do something else for a while, only to see another game starting.
In the end there are a few Yoinks, and you should try and push them into the battle, or get Elites to chase you, and let the Elites kill them over and over again…

players who are not getting any kills should not be getting points.
