Introduction

/Welcome to r/CompetitiveHalo, a haven for all things based on the Halo Championship Series and the Halo esports scene, including all games from the franchise from Bungie's Combat Evolved to 343's Halo Infinite. Please familiarize yourself with the rules and enjoy!

Rules

Rule 1: Show basic courtesy and respect

No rude or uncivil comments/posts are allowed. There is absolutely no reason to be disrespectful to other users or developers, even if you feel they deserve it.

Examples that break this rule include, but are not limited to:

Insults
Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism (including slurs)
Being hostile/condescending
Witchhunting (negative posts about a player that shows their gamertag)
Platform/input-shaming

Rule 2: Quality guidelines

Posts must have some effort, with the goal of having civil discussions. Certain types of posts or comments may be removed to ensure that.

Examples that break this rule include, but are not limited to:

Reposts, trends, or repetitive posts
Rants, unconstructive complaints, or doomposts
Trolling or antagonizing different opinions
Titles that are clickbait/misleading, vague, editorializing, or exaggerating
Off-topic or low-effort submissions

Rule 3: Self-Promotion

You may promote your content if you have a 5:1 ratio of r/CompetitiveHalo comments to self-promoting posts. If you do not meet the ratio, you can promote your content once every month as long as your account is not primarily dedicated to self-promotion.

If you are posting content that isn't yours, you must give credit to the creator.

Rule 4. Spoilers

Datamined/leaked HCS content are spoilers. Threads for tournaments must have a spoiler-free title.

Rule 5: Cheating Allegations Format

Posting about players potentially cheating must follow these rules:

Must be about Pro + AM players in HCS tournaments ONLY

No random Matchmaking players

Must be about HCS/Tournament play

Title must follow "X accuses Y of cheating in ______" format

Link to the accusation must be provided

Rule 6: No Direct Links to Twitter/X in Posts

Direct links to X in posts are no longer allowed

Tweets can be submitted as screenshots, but users are encouraged to find the content on other social media

Tweets CAN be linked in the comments to provide context. Users are HEAVILY ENCOURAGED to also provide a screenshot in these comments for those who cannot log in.

Rule 7: Misc

Our listed rules aren't comprehensive. The r/CompetitiveHalo mod team reserves the right to remove content or ban users as necessary if it is deemed detrimental to the subreddit or to the experience of others.
