hmm sounds like they are forcing people like me to play AR starts. no big deal ill do what everyone else does currently (what i come across when i play mcc) people afk so they dont get a rep hit or quit on their record. AR starts are not fun and forcing me to play it is like forcing me to get shots… i HATE needles.

If somehow we end up in a game together and you AFK on our team, I’ll report you into Xbox oblivion.
Who said it was going to be AR starts? The map and mode will be random each time, it’s basically what we had in Halo 2.
I’m sorry but I don’t want to play the same map and mode 500 times in a row like I had to in Reach and currently have to in Halo MCC. Also don’t do the AFK thing. I can’t stand people who AFK during a match because they didn’t get what they wanted… it’s a real pain… especially in ranked matches.

Afkers should just get an automatic loss, loss of xp and rank.

Judging from what 343 has said and from the beta itself, that’s probably what will happen. I wonder if temporary matchmaking bans will make a comeback like they had in Reach.
Also judging from his MCC clan tag of “Halo 4 = AFK”, I’m sure he’s going come across that a lot in Halo 5 with “AR Starts = AFK” tag.

Well you might not get a rep hit for quitting, but be aware that I, or anyone who’s bothered to do so, and I’m sure quite a few in Arena will be, can and will give you negative feedback for AFKing. Then again, hopefully your rank will be so low thanks to that practice that we won’t meet.

I hope people actually take advantage of the rep system as it should be used like yourself. I always feel no one bothers to report or simply just makes a false report due to losing or some other reason.
Anyway this thread should be locked, I just see it as a potential flame/troll/spam topic towards the OP for mentioning AFKing during matches and generally find it non-constructive in any way.

I honestly do not use it as much as I would like to. The Dashboard is painfully slow to even open when viewing someone’s gamercard and on top of that, I have the language problem. In Finland the only language available for the Xbox is Finnish, now I could change country but then my credit card doesn’t work. Why do I not like Finnish on my Xbox? Because I’m a Fennoswede, a minority of Swedish speaking natives, while I can speak Finnish, the terms used on Xbox aren’t that familiar to me, so reporting usually goes undone.
Yes, false reports are a problem, I had loads of negative feedback on the 360, up to 60% Unsporting Conduct from my early Halo 3 career, and I never played against my own team. Sore losers will Rep Rage.
However, I think that a large concentration of similar feedback will have a much larger impact on a player’s rep than scattered random instances of negative feedback.

Reminds me of back when I played Gears 1 a lot and got my rep totally ruined even though I never once glitched, hacked or even used game chat.

From a recent tweet, it’s said that the rep system on the Xbox One is being looked at, hopefully meaning an overhaul so that type of thing won’t happen anymore.

That’s what Reach did. Not even a rubber band could fool the system.
Changing the channel and idly hitting buttons, on the other hand, did the job. So we have that going for us, OP.

And to be fair, that’s ostensibly why we had the “too skilled/not skilled enough” avoidance options on the 360. Why in God’s name did Microsoft remove that?

i dont care if its objective or slayer. i just hate ARs, smgs (automatic weapon starts in general). they are not competitive and should not be in arena period. it should be BR as the golden standard. just put em on the ground as pick up for the minority who like ARs. in warzone the casual part of H5. sure since we get to choose what we spawn with but arenas no i will not comprimise.
It is absolutely ridiculous that people would rather not play for 12 minutes instead of just playing the game.
Just don’t buy halo 5, do us all a favour.
Also, just wait until you see how they’re dealing with quitters and AFK. It’s beautiful.

Just find yourself a BR playlist and go to town. For the rest of us, we don’t mind using the whole sandbox instead of only 1 gun. You want a super skillful shooter where everything is designed only for the 5 best players in the world? Then go play Unreal Tournament or Counter-Strike.

btw i dont quit games im not one of those (Well technically the game has not started yet so no game has loaded). people will find work arounds. thats just the fact of life. if some one or group says you cannot do something than there will be people doing the opposite

So you use the Plasma Pistol? What a noob weapon, it doesn’t even require skill to perform the noob combo.

Hopefully excessive negative feedback from players will be investigated and if proven to be false, that player is prohibited from giving feedback, among other things.

I certainly used it, but seeing as I had lots of other types of negative feedback that didn’t apply to me, most didn’t.
If people rage quit, why would someone who’s pissed off give the proper feedback that a player is too good for them?
Then again, having decreased or increased chances of playing against players you’ve given feedback to didn’t work, atleast not in my experience.
Had a Halo 3 BTB evening when the population was around 10 000, and me and my friend who both gave reports that a team was too good for us. Well three games during that evening we got matched against them.

Well we are talking about Arena.
