Halo 4 gets tough on sexist players
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.

Xbox Live ban too? That's kinda harsh, but I see where they're coming from.

xDesasterx707 Do they even have the pull to band someone off Xbox Live Network.? Sure the game, but what are they going to do beg workers at Xbox to ban someone for being sexiest.? What about the kids that throw around racist words, and threats.? No one seems to care.
you seem to forget, microsoft is the main support for 343/bungie/halo, why wouldnt they have the pull?

Jigee Basically this is how it will work. Guys can be A-Holes to each other all day, girls can be A-holes to each other and guys all day. Then one sexist/rude comment from a guy to a girl is made and bang, perma ban. 343 is so fair and kind. Clearly they have figured out that sexism is only one sided *sarcasm*
I do agree with you

Dunno how they had time to make this game, they should be in the kitchen....
Cincy123GratefulEthan Ohh I get it now.. That is why Halo sucks so bad, decisions are being made by women. I bet their fat.
It's funny because this article is inaccurate. This goes for all XBL, and this policy has been out for a while. Microsoft just chose to take 343i as an example, because a few of their top employees are female.
Also, your post makes no sense.
