343 Industries, the developer of the newly released Halo 5, is starting to take action against those who are using exploits in the system to gain XP and REQ Points. They stated that they are identifying users and giving out bans and other punishments to clean up the online experience.
In a recent Halo Waypoint blog post, the developer stated: “We’ve been keeping a very close eye on Req point and XP boosting, and the exploits some players are using to idle in matches in an attempt to fill their very own Money Bin with a ton of REQ points and XP,” 343 said. “Our data team at the studio has not only caught this behavior, but we’ve also started taking action against offending accounts, including bans and removal of all REQ points…”
“Most of you need not worry about this, as you’re aware that Req points and XP are only awarded for honor and bravery on the battlefield.”
I am very glad that action is being taken, what about you? Let us know in the comments below. SWAT mode is also getting updated so that friendly fire doesn’t kill teammates and the respawn timer is a few seconds.
