"Take the weekend off, we're reopening on Monday."
This is an excerpt of a longer statement released by one of the moderators of a particular Halo subreddit after the moderating group decided to close the entire sub for a weekend due to toxicity within the group getting well out of hand.
The growing animosity towards Halo Infinite is not a good sign
Halo Infinite technically still hasn't been released yet. 343 Industries confirmed that the early release of the free-to-play multiplayer is effectively just the game's beta period and that there will be massive changes to Halo Infinite come December 8, 2021. However, while gamers have praised Halo Infinite's gameplay and visuals, many can't help but complain about how the game's battle pass works and also the rampant amount of cheaters.
With that said, the locked-out Halo subreddit quickly became a cesspool for personal insults and inappropriate behavior. Things reportedly got so bad that certain users went as far as to issue death threats against others, while some resorted to doxxing.
