Sometimes, competitive games likeHalo: The Master Chief Collectionare about more than winning. This shows clearly when a group of friends playingHalomultiplayerdecided to forefeit victory to the enemy team, and they did so for an unusual reason.

As with any situation involving human players, difficult scenarios can arise if a team decides to abandon a teammate inHalo: The Master Chief Collection. Once that happens, the abandoned players are at the mercy of the larger opposing team, as their competition is given an unfair advantage.

When Reddit user DigiPall and theirHalo: The Master Chief Collectiongroup noticed that the enemy team was composed of just one player, they turned the advantage on its head and let the lone player kill them, over and over again, until the player won the game. SinceHalo: The Master Chief Collectiondoesn’t add botsto matches to make up for lost players, the opposing player had to manually kill the other team’s players 99 times. Still, the win that followed this boosting was certainly worth it.

Online multiplayer games can be brutal, and theHaloseries is no exception. As such, finding other players who are good sports about unusual situations is a relief for less experienced gamers. To boost the kills quickly, team members ran in front of one ofHalo’s iconic Warthog vehicles. With being run over serving as such a quick way to die, the roadkilled players are able to respawn and run right back in front of the Warthog. When the player was one kill away from victory, they left the vehicle to make the last kill an Execution, bringing the point counter to 100 and winning the game.

WithHalo Infinite’s multiplayer coming soon, players are bound to be practicing with the previousHalogames, mastering the mechanics so that they can be ready when the time comes to step into the next one.Halo: The Master Chief Collectionis the easiest way to experience the classicHalogames, especially since its launch on PC, and the multiplayer is a massive part of the experience. With the multiplayer inHalo 2kicking off Xbox Live and helping push online console gaming into the mainstream, it only makes sense that the series' multiplayer community would carry on over decades. After all, the decision to baseHalo Infinite’s first season offHalo Reachundoubtedly came from the popularity of that game’s multiplayer.

343 Industries has made missteps with theHaloseries, but the upcoming free-to-playmultiplayer inHalo Infinitelooks promisingand will hopefully live up to the series' past. If the multiplayer is well made, perhaps more wholesome stories of good sportsmanship will happen in that game as well.

Halo: The Master Chief Collectionis available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
