Halo 4 gets tough on sexist players

4.3
343 Industries wants to make it clear: It will brook no further discrimination of any kind in Halo 4. Executive producer Kiki Wolfkill and studio head Bonnie Ross say that sexist discrimination of any kind will be met with a lifetime ban from both the game and the Xbox Live network.

Ross says that "most people look at a franchise like Halo, and automatically assume it's run by a guy," but this particular franchise is run by a few ladies, and they're not having any discriminatory nonsense in their latest sequel.

We agree with the sentiment, and hope that the harsh penalties make sure that the losers who make sexist and other offensive comments get shown the door for good. The ideal should be to make sure all forms of this offensive discrimination are squashed as far and wide as possible, no matter who's running the show.

Good for them, this needed to happen. I don't get why kids feel the need to make fun of girls on Xbox, they're generally better to play with anyways...

Good that they are doing this, might encourage more females to play.

This is a good decision by 343 because i have been a fan of halo ever since it came out and i have played online since halo 2 and have owned all games except halo 4 of course but i have pre-ordered it for when it comes out and sexist and racist players have been quite a bit of hastle to a lot of playes and of course girls should have the right to play cod, halo or any other game for that matter because its a free F*****G world and who ever agrees should not take this lightly.

Hopefully this applies to racists as well.

I think this is great.

The community 4+ years ago was never as bad as it is today, and the jokes are pretty immature.

Stxrm This seems like a good idea. I hope they go through with it. But how do they find out who is being sexist? Is this from online forums or through game chat?


It'll be from in game chat probably.
