Firefight Toxicity

I’ve encountered 2 days in a row different players who (for some unknown reasons), would do anything to get 1st place (even lose). They try to prevent you from killing enemies/bosses by pushing you with Wraiths/Pheatons etc… Am I the only one ?

Don’t forget to report unsporting/toxic behaviors to HaloSupport so we can get rid of players like this who ruin normal players’ experience.

I haven’t hit this specific problem, while sometimes players will try to get their vehicle into a different angle to try and take out the target, I wouldn’t necessarily say they were trying to get me out of the way. On the other hand, I have noticed too many people who seem to have no issues running me over to take out a freshly spawned group of enemies. I have noticed an uptick of people that are a little too sweaty for a simple firefight match, Heroic or otherwise. When I came back to H5 last year, I left Reach because it was getting to be the same way and wanted to try something different. But I’ve noticed as we get closer to the Infinite launch, it’s definitely gotten worse in the year I’ve been playing. I was amazed at the level of teamwork displayed during the matches and how players were working together. But I’ve noticed that changing as time has gone on. I haven’t gotten any hate mail yet, but my general philosophy is this… “you want to make sure you kill everything and don’t want my help, I’ll be more than happy to sit back, let you kill everything, while I get my survival bonuses and my xp at the end of the match”. I know it’s an awful way to play, and it’s not the way I want to play… but at the same time, I’m not going to stress myself out to try and get a few more kills, or try to complete with sweaty/toxic players. But I’ll be more than happy to get the xp from their sweatiness.

I guess it all comes down to personal choice. If you’re getting players like that in your matches… you could either try and compete with them, or let them do their thing and ride their coat tails. It’s just a game and I personally don’t worry too much about it. Hope that helps…

I encounter this from time to time. You can try and bait them into betraying you a couple of times.

I encounter people like this almost daily, not just on H5 either, but I usually get them to betray me 3 times and then I boot them.

At least once a day.

Yeah, I’ve encountered it while grinding solo as well. Best thing we can do is report them and hope their play style stops affecting us.

When I was grinding 152 and playing alone at the beginning, I found many people like that, there were even people who sending toxic messages through inbox, insulting me because, according to them, I won’t let to get the 1st place. The funny thing, is that I was playing normally, I played as always played paying attention to a podcast that I was listening that time. Other people betray me or took away my shields pushing me with his vehicle, or just they placed their tank in front of me and blocking my shoots.

I clarify that it did not always happen, really this happened to me very rarely, but if I can affirm that I have run into toxic people who ruin the experience in Firefight. The only good thing I could do, especially when they splatter me with their vehicle, I had them kicked out of the game, there was nothing more satisfying than that.

Yep, we do the same thing.

The other players I encounter are XP farmers. They join the game, get 1 kill, then move their controller every 30s to avoid being kicked. I will usually try to push them off the map to commit suicide a few times before they get kicked for inactivity.

We were a group of 6 and one guy literally turned around to dash into us with his phaeton so none of us shoot the boss. He then brag about how it was more important than anything to get 1st place in messages

I’ve actually got a few of these players banned, fun thing is how they were saying ‘‘nothing’s gonna happen’’ and when it happened surprised Pikachu face

I’d either want 343 for fix Warzone Firefight to be solo play and fix everything wrong with the mode, or ban me from Halo 5 permanently, cause I can’t take this crap anymore. Arena’s bs, Firefight’s unfair, normal Warzone isn’t fun anymore, only Forge is playable.

Reporting them will not do a thing, I tried and the same guy was still able to bring chaos to the server.

Not too often. Maybe once every few games. I’ll just report them and move on.

Seems like I never can get the kills because I get bullied out of the way all the time but it’s still xp to me so I just keep playing.

havent encounter them or havent noticed.
altough, i have runover some players, but not intentionally

Yeah, and that’s enough, I mean, not every game this people exist…

I found people that destroy my wraith out of nowhere (even new or self-new), someone flipping my tank and destroying it, trying to kill me with a splatter with a ghost, people afk all the time. All this players goes to the halo report a player Limbo

Making chaos, how?
