Ok this is the 2nd week in a row we have a FF weekly challenge, now i am hoping that 343 is doing this to catch all the AFKers in that playlist if the banhammer even works.
I know that’s not the case but i am hoping it is lol
I have come across a few guys over the week who haven’t even got a single kill and kept on playing (AFKing) all through the week.
75 rounds, 25 games, easy but annoying with all the idiot AFKers
No one is forcing you to do the Weekly, the ban hammer works but it isn’t instant, and it is easily avoidable.
If it worked then i would of seen these people reset by now from months back and im talking about those who don’t even get a kill, its completely useless
I don’t like Firefight weeklys because I don’t like Firefight. So in turn, I don’t do it. I can live without a bonus ~20,000cR. If you don’t like the challenge, then you don’t have to do it. Set up a custom challenge for something you could do for in 3 days and try reap about the same amount.

You don’t get reset by the ban hammer, resets were handed out manually by Bungie until they handed the torch over to 343i who haven’t done a single reset since.
Those players will be getting cR bans.
> it is easily avoidable.
Lol this
If you get banned for AFKing then lol.
Not that I endorse it.
well at the end of the day, the banhammer is still useless when it comes to FF and that’s basically it and yep people out there are way to smart for it

This and People afking in MM because even if they do nothing and the game goes tilll the clock runs out they still get about 3000 / 6000 depending on a few other things …
If you lose you should get VERY LITTLE TO NO CREDITS
that’s the only way to fix it if people are able to get something for nothing THEY WILL .
Thats why I like to do i think its called Score Attack. You’re the only one in the ff matches and you can go against hordes of just grunts. Its only 1 round per game but its worth it if you don’t want to rely on other people. I can get each round done in about ten minutes, not only that but its also very good for commendations. I got my two onyx doing this,(almost got my third)
Today firefight was populated by hundreds of afk boosters, one on Installation 04 was two people controlled by one guy. He used his guest controller to protect his main so he would no get killed and get the daily bulletproof challenge. So me and the other guy who was playing normally tried to get him killed but we couldn’t then after he gave us both poor player reviews for being over agressive!
Next game I came across a reclaimer, me and him were the only ones in that game because 2 people quit before the game loaded. So it’s us two against three rounds. We almost made it and made a pretty good team. Next game another afker who got ZERO points hopefully he got credit banned, but we both pushed him into harms way - this was on courtyard. I wish I could find good people to play firefight with, whether arcade, limited, plasma, fiesta, whatever. I’m almost about to max out longshot and trigger happy. It’s going to be rough getting Riflin’ Through to max, it’s 3k+ to Onyx as it is. I love not using the rocket launcher or fuel rod gun.
In addition to the regular AFK’s, I ran across a bunch of low/middle-ranked players zooming around randomly and trying out every type of weapon. Looks like school is out.
On top of this the second last game I played today I had to leave because only I was playing, one person quit and two were afk. One of the afkers was asking everyone at the start of the game if they wanted ot join his clan and when nobody wanted to he went afk after getting a few kills. It was very funny listening to an elite punch him in the face till he died. 
Todays’ bulletproof has been far worse than the weekly afkers as everyone who does not normally play firefight came in just to afk and get some easy credits. I wish firefight could be changed so that if you don’t get any kills per round you get credit banned. Instead of the usual get a kill in the bonus round to avoid the ban hammer make it stricter.

haha summer time man!
Yup, im having a field day with this challenge, 75 rounds is pretty long, it should’ve been 50. Its too time consuming. But the cR are pretty high.
I tried a few 4 player co-op games today and got nothing but AFKers, i then moved to FF Doubles where i didnt find one.
I guess we have to be use to the AFKers by now and that the banhammer does not work at all when it comes to AFKing, nothing we can do apart from annoy them with concussion riffles which is fun
Yea a bit disappointed that it went from 200 waves to 75 rounds back to back. No real variety. But whatever.
