Bring back what once was

Halo is all about e sports now. 343 have been pushing that hard since 5.
Sucks.

While I would love to have all of these back, I still haven’t been able to find the MUTE button in-game when someone I’ve matched with has left their mic open and all I can hear is their game and a conversation they’re having with someone in the room with them. I’m honestly shocked that I haven’t been able to find an easy way to mute or report someone in-game.

I kinda miss many features too.
Though I gotta say I do not miss text chat in ranked.
Played my first game and got hit with stuff like /capslock “nice rocket [questionable word for people with down syndrome]” or “uninstall r-word”.
Maybe I am just getting too old to value that.

i mean what value does it have?
my used candy wrapper is worth more than that

Halo 2 lobbies were better than debate teams or law school for preparing you for confrontation.

is that because I couldn’t punch people?

no, proximity chat. idc what the other team is saying when i kill them. Only that they hear me while im killing them

at least a way to voice chat to everyone, rather than it being proximity. imo

you dont need to hear everyone, lmfao. You just dont understand because you didnt play with prox.

Clans are honestly overrated. They’re basically just LFG buddies with a group name.

you’re right, i didn’t. but i know how fun prox is, and proximity chat in halo i don’t think would fit compared to chatting to everyone. but that’s just me

I can’t exactly tell you the button combo for console, but on PC, I open the pause menu (ESC) in match, hit Tab to bring up the list of players in the match, then hit R to mute All, or you can mute individuals.

Give it a check next time you need to mute someone, cause you definitely can, but I’ll admit it’s a little confusing and not intuitive

Then you’ve been in -yoink!- clans. Halo MP is by definition a team game. You’re basically rolling the dice with LFG.

There’s also a report someone for profanity or racism and stuff like that look if someone is being racist or something like that don’t engage with them at all look at them like they’re an idiot because let’s face it they are an idiot and simply just report them and ignore them because a lot of the times they’re either doing it genuinely because that’s how they feel or they’re just doing it to be a troll cuz that is a thing people do they just want attention and you definitely shouldn’t give it to them

I feel strongly that Spartan Companies should be added back to Waypoint, not for Halo 5, for Halo Infinite.

Of course, I was never in a Spartan Company, but it was a pretty neat idea and it performed surprisingly well. It was probably the best thing about Halo 5, and it would be even more fun in Infinite because it doesn’t suck like Halo 5 did.

Post game lobbies need to come back :weary:

I’ll give it a shot, I head read that “R” was the mute all button but it didn’t work when I needed it to so I quickly gave up on it. Sounds like you need to open the main menu and then the scoreboard to mute people which is different from most shooters I’ve played.

As a lifetime gamer and an IT professional it’s incredibly discouraging that I was unable to find the mute button. I’m usually the one browsing through applications I’ve never seen before to find a button or setting for someone who’s job depends on knowing the application.

My friends have a joke anytime a game doesn’t have a basic feature we saw in, say, Halo 2.

The technology doesn’t exist.
