Exactly the reason why people played FF doubles as nothing is still being done about this.

Using someone else game history isn’t the right thing to do first of all.
Second, you need a bunch of people to play doubles constantly. 2000 people playing Doubles could have saved it, but it wasn’t in the general community’s interest. So sadly, it does have to go. I wish there was something that could be done. But this is how it is. Doubles can still be done in customs, with friends if that suits your fancy.
Nothing is the right thing to do on these forums as every AFKer gets prtotected by the fact that as soon as AFK is mentioned the thread gets locked

No. You just go about everything completely wrong.
Read the rules, and follow them. If you abide by the forum guidelines, nothing of yours will be edited/locked. For one, you consistently post other players’ stats, even when told not to. You constantly make threads calling out Moa and I, which is also against the rules.
It is nothing to do with AFKing in Firefight. However, it has everything to do with the way you go about it. Breaking the rules and flaming people until a thread gets locked is not the way to go. Forum and game activity are unrelated.

Oh gee! Why didn’t I think of that! Way to earn 503 credits every 15 minutes!
The whole fact and fun of doubles is I can sign a guest controller out and have the whole 15 minutes to myself, score a crap load of commendation points, credits and kills without carrying some other lazy cheating player who doesn’t want to play the game.
I would rather not have black screen, I would rather not have to deal with the lag and I most certainly hate that the small minority of Halo fans ALWAYS go unnoticed. Why do you think they never have any shows in the UK. ALL america. But as minorities go (as it is with the playlists people love), they don’t care. Some people don’t have a connection good enough to host or be hosted with other players. FFD was a way to still enjoy the game and rank up with your friends.
You should either get rid of Firefight doubles and reset all these AFKers which affect everyones game or let AFKers stay and keep Doubles.
Oh and FYI. I’m pretty sure it was part of the game rules to not AFK or “Credit boost” or you get banned. Why is this still going unanswered? I can’t mention people who AFK and happily admit it in the forums without getting banned or post deleted, yet they can still bypass the rules and piss off every other player and you’re fine with it.
Keep Firefight doubles. (And remove Super slayer. No one likes the TU.)

Because you both disrupt peoples games and bypass the ban hammer.

Are you not AFKing with that guest plugged in not doing anything?
And the forums are not the game. Any player’s ingame behavior is not punishable on the forums.

Doubles does not have a high enough population to sustain it into Halo 4, so it was removed this late in the game’s life.
I, and many other players prefer TU settings to Vanilla.

But bypassing the matchmaking system by having a guest sit AFK is fine. And so is breaking forum rules. Which are unrelated to the game at all.

I sign the guest out during map selection. Means no one else can join or ruin my game. Score attack is just too easy and short for a single game of FF.
Not the game, you are correct. But you are the main topic of discussion. I’m just glad you don’t see what you’re doing wrong.
And the game was broke when it tried to be fixed. Vanilla is always better.
Please stay on topic and don’t ever quote me again.

Listen Sitri. If you don’t understand the “glass houses” metaphor then don’t bother replying. You happily tell someone to follow rules (regardless of where these rules are set) yet you are unable to see what you’re doing.
I’m not even going to bother continuing. Apparently calling you out is deemed inappropriate. Since talking to you is like talking to a brick wall.
