They should make a DLC telling what happened with <div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">Jun when he escorted Dr. Halsely.</div>

<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">No, he'd have become Halsey's aid. Somewhat like Jorge was.
But nothing more was said of Jun because Halsey was taken out of the picture. Sure, there was another Spartan lying around to help Cheif... but they are far and few between as it were.
And anyway... the Chief is still alive. So something may or may not come to do with Halo.</div>

What do you think about Bungie's automatic ban hammer that thinks you cheat if you exploit the game? I think it is bull*censored.2.0*. Why? Well, if a player wants to exploit the game then they should have a full right to do that. It's just how they play the game and want to show off their high level. Bungie never did this *censored.2.0* while Halo 3 was still popular and to this day it has a bit of players still playing it.

If you don't want to get banned then please don't play Fireflight or Score Attack 24\7. Also, don't play campaign either if you just want to get credits.

<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">"Good evening,

We are in the process of applying credit resets to approximately 15,000 users who we have identified as the most egregious Challenge Reset abusers.

A one day credit earning ban has also been applied, mostly to ensure that recipients receive an in-game notification of the action taken.

As with any such measure, we have taken the time to carefully select our criteria to eliminate false positives.

A more comprehensive pass will be occuring in the coming week as our automated Banhammer mechanisms grow accurate enough to satisfy our high bar for burden of proof. If you are thinking about getting an easy 50k credits by using this exploit, I would strongly advise you to reconsider.

Thank you, and please direct any discussion of these resets to this thread.

Edit: a point of clarification. No bans were handed out tonight for

a) Playing too much Gruntpocalypse (no such thing!)
b) Using the target locator too much (no such thing!)

Specifically, we targeted an exploit that allowed players to complete a Challenge 20+ times via itentional network manipulation (i.e., disconnects.)

Spot checks have revealed the telltale signature of this behavior on every denier so far, so don't be fooled by the protests of innocence. We aren't."</div>
See the people that were getting banned were from a network manipulation, which is a ToS violation.
Not because they were boosting!

You've got this all wrong Nic.

My friend (Calbunga) was boosting and got a reset.

Sucks for them. But Bungie has said no-one has or will be from just boosting. I've boosted a bit, I wont deny that. But I haven't done it through some credit reset BS.
You and your friend can whine and complain as much, but Bungie will have had something there to worth it.
And anyway, it's like a 2 day ban from gaining credits.

Nah, they deserve it.

 

[Nigel]

You dont get banned from repeatedly playing a part of the game that rewards lots of credits.
Eg. oni base campaign mission, getting killionaires over and over with the target locater.
You only get banned if you create a bot or automated system to keep playing that part over and over.

I am doing a solo campaign on legendary right now, I've made it up to mission 6! I'm quite proud of myself so far!

Legendary is a pain in the ass, so you are doing really well. Just keep at it.

I know!! I am quite shocked I've gotten as far as I have! You get to listen to me rage as I'm playing! haha But I will finish it! I'm not far away from beating it!!

 

[Mino]

I somehow managed to do the last level on normal on my legendary playthrough. I got to the end and thought, "Wow, that was really easy, I didn't even die." Then I realized that I must have made a mistake when I didn't get any achievements.

 

[Silentshadow]

I thought it was awesome :3 it was a little short though :/ and there were so many deaths D: the end was pretty cool, but truthfully a little disappointing

I really am hoping for a Map Pack soon, I dont really care for any of the current maps except Powerhouse.

You must not play BTB.

I actually haven't even tried it yet, BTB would be awful on powerhouse.

Of course, that's why they'd use other maps.
