This weekly needs to stop coming up. Everygame I have played today there has been at least 1 person AFKing.
Sure, people will be AFKing, but the banhammer is pretty good about catching those people. No real need to worry, as they’ll get banned from receiving those credits.

Pretty much this. If people don’t already know that AFKing constitutes as a ban … that’s worrisome.
I’ve always come to the conclusion that AFKing actually hurts people more than it helps them. This is because, by actually playing the game, you could be earning significantly MORE credits in LESS time.
Just my two cents.
maybe people wouldn’t AFK so much in firefight if it was actually fun
> maybe people wouldn’t AFK so much in firefight if it was actually fun
I think it can still be fun. You just have to have something to aim for.
Such as:
-Don’t die
-Destroy all vehicles
-Kill every enemy with a headshot
-Earn a spree of every sort possible
-Make the leaderboards
Just to name a few. You could easily make up your own.

half those things you named arn’t hard to do. and i make my own FF games that are far more fun then reaches default FF. the only problem is you dont get good CR in your custom FF. so i guess people afk to get the CR they want since they cant have fun normally.

If they dont find it fun or dont like it then dont play it. Go and play something they enjoy

They avoid the banhammer though as they come out for the bonus round!!

well it would be nice if the world worked that way. but most of the people who play want lots of CR and the weekly gives alot. so wether they like it or not they will play.

Sure.
It just doesn’t work that way because people would just spam invincibility against low HP Elite Generals.
Just a two-edged sword, I’m afraid.
AFK’ers are some of the stupidest people in Halo Reach, YOU GET MORE CR’S FOR PLAYING THE GAME AND GETTING THE MUST IN THAT GAME!
Big Whoop, let em AFK. As long as you have atleast one other person playing with you then you can make it in as little as 14 games.
Yo guys, im new to this forum. What does AFK means…?
> Yo guys, im new to this forum. What does AFK means…?
It literally means “away from keyboard.” It refers to people that are not playing the game.
Even though we’re playing on a gamepad, you won’t see people type “AFC” for “away from controller.”
AFK is more applicable.
> maybe people wouldn’t AFK so much in firefight if it was actually fun
Agree. Reach firefight sucks, absolute waste of time. After going backwards and playing ODST after Reach (and getting every firefight based achievement on ODST) that gametype is unbelievably fun. Myself and friends will still go back to ODST’s firefights because it was challenging and just way better structured. This weekly is another waste though.
I seriously hope they make halo 4’s firefight more like ODST, rather than Reach’s god awful system.
75 rounds was a bit much, but this is different. 200 waves in 4 person is 15 waves a game if you make it to the bonus round, and the bonus counts as 1 too! Forget the afkers, I was going to try to get one killed today but I ignored him and just played. He’ll get banned anyways. About 15 games for 15000 credits, totally worth it.
iAWX is right too, you just need to mix it up. Since I have heavy weapons maxed among others I only use magnums and needlers now. Couldn’t get the pistol in my last game today so it was needle rifle and needler. Surprisingly got the most kills, headshots, fewest deaths, and highest point total that game.

Also, playing with friends makes the game that much more enjoyable.
I know it’s obvious, but it’s worth repeating.

Totally agree with the sentiment. I enjoy the challenge because I’m going to be playing anyway though.
To help with frustration, something to try. Avoid the player AFKing, then file a complaint with Xbox Live. Then write the name down in a little notebook and go back in a month and check the rank of the offenders. Last time I did this, greater than 75% of them had been reset.

Post them. Maybe 343 will pick them up and use them. That’s how the NEP came about. (Though not implemented the way the creator had intended…)

either banhammer does not work or a lot of new players go afk but I swear almost every match I played last night one guy on my team was afk or stopped playing halfway through a match.
They should rename this game to team afk lol
