So, I don’t know anything about the team or the people on the team other than what I read recently. I don’t follow HCS, it Gamebattles, and MLG in general are the reason competitive gaming is like it is (crap).
But that is a topic for another day…should 343 still be selling the Sentinels skin after this controversy?
What controversy are we talking about here?
Wasn’t the controversy that it was basically just one player of sentinels? Which is bad enough, but punishing the whole org in such a way for one cheating player seems to much. I didn’t followed what punishment they received, but I don’t think removing the esport skin would be appropriate
No they shouldn’t sell it. They shouldn’t sell armours peroid. The fact that this isn’t talked about more shows that this is being.put under the rug. Dude cheated and got a suspension. After that any game from infinite doesn’t look legit. The game is already bad to begin with. It’s just dumper fire after dumpster fire with this game.
Also crucial tid bit. Who allowed him to mess with the game files?
Don’t make this any bigger than it needs to be. Yes ONE player had geofiltering on. I’ve heard rumours that this is a horrible way to cheat but also heard rumours that he talked this over with the HCS people because he lives in the middle of nowhere (okay, I’m exaggerating).
Royal 2 got suspended for I believe 2 months. After that it is over.
Should they not sell this skin for 2 months? I don’t think so. The 3 others had nothing to do with it.
Also in physical sports individual athletes make mistakes. If every time companies stop selling shirts because individuals make mistakes, I don’t think a lot of jerseys/shirts/kits will get sold.
It was Royal2’s fault, and the rest of the Sentinels were only guilty by association. I don’t have a problem with them selling the skins, especially since they replaced Royal2 with a member of OpTic’s team for this event.
Yikes, lot of assumptions here.
Unless the team/team’s management is complicit in an individual player’s actions, the consequences fall on just the player, at least this is the case in almost every esports representation.
Then the same should be said about every other game that offers/offered a competitive circuit. Including but not limited to Halo 2, Halo 3, Reach, Halo 4, Halo 5, R6S, CS(1.6, Source, GO), Warzone, PUBG, Quake, Unreal Tournament, and Fortnite. All have had cheaters in the highest brackets, all have had controversy. And now none of it is legitimate, based on your logic.
You’re just looking for reasons to hate Infinite. Nobody is forcing you to like it. Stop torturing yourself.
Opinion.
Or it means there’s not enough interest in HCS by the average player, and 343 needs to get better at outreach.
If you want to look at it with that subjective lens, others choose to acknowledge the issues and enjoy the fun and well made aspects of the title.
Nobody, he did it himself.
Assuming this is an inside job is, well, an assumption.
I wouldn’t care if they removed all things related to E-sports, go nuts.
No.
One individual’s action does not warrant punishing an entire org.
So he was able to change the server files to make everyone play on his server and your telling me he didn’t have access to some kind of back door provided by those on the inside? If anything it’s a stretch to say that someone didn’t help him
If you dont follow it at all or know anything about it. Then why even talk about it when you don’t know anything about it?
I follow it, not a hardcore fan or comp person, but I like it as much as a person who doesn’t watch football watches the super bowl. I watch to try to make myself better.
But the thing with this issue is that it isn’t even the whole team (as in the org), it was one person and possible the rest knowing what was going on. That shouldn’t ban the org from selling their skins, etc. They did the appropriate thing for the situation and that’s that.
LMAO!! You must be living under a rock if you think this is being swept under a rug.
Do you even know what you are trying to say at this point?
Oh yeah so why doesn’t the average fan know about it? Go in a game with randoms and ask around if they know about this. I bet you most won’t
He basically VPN’d to gain an advantage, that’s on his end not server side.
You’re creating conspiracy theories based on limited knowledge of the subject.
No, you just don’t understand the context.
Because those are randoms, lmfao. If you actually look into the HCS community they are all talking about it, calmed down a little now, but its still there. You are really trying to stretch things arent ya?
“I caught a fish and it was THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG!”
Having been in parties talking to high level players about cheating. It’s more common than you think. Unless you can explain how he used a VPN to do that then I don’t buy it
Yeah. The tiny HCS community. Like that’s all of Halo right now. Lol. That’s the problem with HCS people they think they are the only ones matter. HCS stands on the shoulders of all the people who watch and support it which incudles a majority of people who don’t compete
Now you just sound like a rambling uncle no one wants at the holiday dinner. Please, get some help.
he most likely edited his own computer’s hosts file to exclude Azure servers that were too far from him.
