Halo Subreddit On Temporary Lockdown To Suppress Toxicity

Almost any discussion forum or comments section on the internet is mired with some form of toxicity. It doesn't take much for a handful of idiots to resort to personal insults or inappropriate behaviour if things don't go their way. It appears that the Halo subreddit has been dealing with some particularly vitriolic behavior, leading the moderators to lock it down temporarily.

"On all sides this has absolutely gone on long enough and spiraled out of control," said a post by one of the moderators. "The amount of toxicity on the sub from both sides has made it impossible for people to have civil discussions, which is what the mod team strives for regardless of opinion. Some users on the sub have even been responsible for doxxing and death threats. We're temporarily putting the sub on lockdown so people can hopefully settle down a bit and we can hit the reset button before launch. At the end of the day this is a video game and this level of vitriol is unwarranted. Take the weekend off, we're reopening on Monday."

It seems things got a bit out of hand, even escalating to death threats and doxxing, as the moderator pointed out. The subreddit is currently locked, and users will not be able to open new threads till Monday. The mods will no doubt use this time to clean up the subreddit, and remove a few rotten apples.

The post went on to denounce some of the behaviour on the subreddit, especially when it came to views on Halo Infinite. It appears that a major part of the subreddit is split into two groups based on their opinion on the game, with either side hurling insults depending on whether the game is criticised or praised.

The biggest criticism Halo Infinite players have with the game currently is the battle pass progression system. At launch, players were incentivised to chase after challenges rather than completing objectives, as they would reward way more XP. This was frustrating for players as focussing on objective completion would make the climb up the battle pass ladder infuriatingly slow. However, 343 Industries has acknowledged these issues and has started working on changes.
