Need to be able to kick people "IN GAME"

With all the years since 1998 of hosting PC games I have only kicked people that have created hate and discontent and for racists remarks. The only time I have banned people is for racists remarks and or continually creating hate and discontent on my servers. I will not tolerate racists remarks or creating hate and discontent on my servers period!. Kicking people off my servers is just a warning! If they do it again I ban their arse off my server's and never get unbaned. People should not have to deal with that crap at all PERIOD! They can go say racists remarks and create hate and discontent on somebody's else's server but not on my server's. If people don't like the way I run my server's they can go someplace to play the game. I won't put up with on my server's!

 

I wonder who the genius at 343I thought is was a good Idea to kick people in the lobby only and not "IN GAME?" ( must of been a person with "NO"  PC game hosting experience roflmao )

Halo is on Xbox. It doesn't have anything to do with PC.

 

Your argument is invalid.

 

Are you on DRUGS????  I'm Running a custom game of BloodGulch right now on my Halo 5 Forge For PC server Right Now!  Obviously you don't know what the sam hell your talking about!! ROFLMFAO!!!!

 

I love it when people post stuff they no nothing about. Just shows how ignorant some people are. ;)

Let's clarify this real quick. You have hosted actual servers for hosting games yet you don't understand why or how the server side code and hosting netcode wasn't given to you? Maybe you are the ones on drugs. Unless you have an actual computer dedicated just for hosting the game clients, you can't play and host. Doing so is called a P2P host in which the actual pc you are playing from is hosting the game from the instance you are running. Yes there are ways around this like with Halo PC and Halo 2 Vista...but this isn't them.

 

I understand what you are asking for, but for something as simple as this, opens up a floodgate of security and privacy questions for clients. I'm sorry, but unless I really feel like using a VPN or spoofed static IP just to play a lobotomized Halo title, I wouldn't be too comfortable giving complete control or access to banning or kicking to a raging millenium.

hehehe your funny. I have been hosting PC game since 1998. Halo 5 Forge "DOES NOT" have a dedicated server. It's a wanna be P2P system. You cannot kick or ban people, Can't rotate maps, No auto team balancing, no RCON software, No map voting, no voting to kick people and No welcome screen just to name a few things. And yes I have a server just for Halo 5 Forge for PC only with a static IP. 

 

To quote"I wouldn't be too comfortable giving complete control or access to banning or kicking to a raging millenium."

 

Your kidding me right? You don't want to be able to kick or ban people "IN GAME" that say racists remarks to people and also create hate and discontent?. "REALLY?"  I have never hosted a game server in all the years that did  not  have rcon and or admin console  commands in my servers EVER! LOL. ( except for Halo Forge 5 PC ) I would never buy a game or rent a game server that did not have any admin console commands in the game. I will not tolerate people that speak racists remarks to people and also create hate and discontent on my server's and never will period! Nobody should have to put up with that crap.

 

You might but I sure in the hell I won't.

 

End Of Discussion.

 

Have a nice day bud ;)

Continuing to state how long you have been hosting game servers is irrelivant. It's the equivilant of telling of NASCAR driver that you KNOW what you are talking about because you have deiving your pedestrian car longer. Unless you have a networking degree, masters in information systems and Cyber Security or another degree showing an jnderstanding of working real knowledge about the code bases/processes/arrays that power the networking behind multiplayer gaming and servers.....your experience is irrelivant.

 

RCon and any other 3rd party tool IS a huge security risk. Anytime one person or self hosted server has exclusive contained access to any machine id, software license or ip address, it is an issue. Why do you think so many people elect to use a VPN, or rotational Static IP?

 

The point here is, not everyone enjoys having certain information made available, especially if problems arrise that they are not a part of. Now if the ability to boot, ban or blacklist people was made available remotely, as in having the commands executed on the Live servers, then that is a different story.

 

You don't need to personally have local admin rights to boot someone or blacklist them. A feature such as this could be scripted in Megalo, and the information about bans, kicks etc could be simple sql data linked to your gamertag.

 

In conclusion, as you stated, Halo 5 Forge is NOT a dedicated server package. Do you know why? Microsoft does not seriously support pc gaming, nor do they want or forsee the allowing of Halo's files to be exposed to the public. If they had released Halo 5 as a dedicated server install, I can guarantee it would have taken me a week at most to release no less than 10 exploits/mods/installers to fully expose the netcode and allow players to cheat/bypass/cirumvent ANY security measures in use.

 

Since you are so much more experienced than me obviously, you already know that silly things like Phazor, RCon, and the literally dozens of proprietary admin tools are not even 50% perfect and can easily be circumvented to render your attempt at control useless.

 

Here is a pro tip. While you think it is nobel to "protect" and "shelter" people from views and perspectives you hate, it is also human nature and completely normal to disagree or disaprove with others or subject matter. There is a really fine line between performing like a dictator, and acting like a reasonable adult.

Halo 5 wasn't built for people to host servers so obviously it won't support "PC like" server settings.

 

If you continue to have trouble with certain people kick them from the game from the lobby and/or advise people to just mute them and block communications, report them with a file complaint and set the lobby to invite only to keep them out.

 

That's the most you can do with the way Halo 5 was built. Just remember the game was never built to support full control.

Lol, OP you can't be serious. What you are asking is not possible on Halo 5 forge.

 

That may well be but if Halo 6 for the PC comes out and you cannot kick or ban user's ":IN GAME" and has no auto team balancing as a PC ONLY user there will be no way in hell I would buy this game as some other PC users and I have expressed to each other. I have no issues kicking and banning a-holes off my Battlefield 1 server. Just wish 343I had these options in Halo 5 Forge did  like Halo Combat Evolved, Halo 2 and Halo 3 did.

I can always host my Eldewrito Halo Online server if I need a good halo fix and kick a-holes off the server.

 

O'well there is not that many people playing the game that much anymore anyways and that sucks!
