This is getting blown out of proportion. We have seen ZERO proof that any of this is actually happening. Activision / Bungie have said they are not doing this. I gamed all last night with Asus TweakUI running along with other hardware monitors on my second display and didn't have an issue.

Same here. I played all night using MSi Afterburner and NZXT CAM without issues. No overlays were active.This is getting blown out of proportion.

I think the forums are plenty proof. There are people that are getting banned before playing the game during character creation. Something is off, glad I havent purchased it yet.
Hah. 1 more reason to pass on this trash.
If a kid said it on Reddit it must be true.Fuck this game and fuck Bungie if this is true. How absurd.
Yes, and Bungie officially refuted that automatic bans are happening and that they are caused by legitimate third party software.So the Reddit submission has been removed.
Is this about software you have on your PC and getting banned for having it running?

Behold the Internet * Internet * internet * .......If a kid said it on Reddit it must be true.

My mantra since Bungie fucked up the PC release of Halo 15 years ago. Instead they released it first on the Xbox. fuckers.
Wait didn't Bungie admit before Microsoft's acquisition it would have been a completely different, from the videos and screenshots I remember seeing also inferior, game?My mantra since Bungie fucked up the PC release of Halo 15 years ago. Instead they released it first on the Xbox. fuckers.
Not to mention, a Mac game that Steve Jobs himself presented at an Apple conference? A lot changed after MSFT bought Bungie and moved them to Washington state.Wait didn't Bungie admit before Microsoft's acquisition it would have been a completely different, from the videos and screenshots I remember seeing also inferior, game?

The poison of the pc gaming culture lead me to adopt the attitude of “Just Play”you can always find a reason to boycott a developer or game but my mantra is I like to play a good game...regardless of what they may have done 15 years ago...or 15 months ago
I think this is all so much garbage, frankly I don't trust random people on the internet and I believe the Bungie response. Let's take a look at this thread, has anyone been banned? No?
I stopped caring about professional game reviews quite some time ago. I've stopped caring about the internet response for the most part now too because of shit like this. I'm glad people got banned, and I sure as hell don't believe anyone who says this is a problem in the slightest let alone a widespread problem.

So people WERE banned in error...but not because of third-party utilities. But bans are a "manual process after investigation"...
Wat?
I wonder if Windows 10's terrible game bar/DVR could be the culprit. I've seen several claims that the game was installed on a clean install of Windows 10 with nothing other than Windows, Blizzard launcher, and D2 installed. I think there were changes or features added to the game bar with the latest Fall Creators update.
4 people were banned in error from the beta. So you had an employee who just didn't know what to look for. Now, yes, it's true that they can and will make mistakes, but if the reddit thread was correct on how many people were getting banned, that scares me more about the honesty of redditors.
No issues on this end and I'm on the Fall CU with the Game Bar up and running. Doesn't mean it's not the issue, but it's not universally a problem.
I don't know that it would have been inferior - It was just different. From what I recall if I dig out my old issue of CGW was that it was going to kind-of be like the original concept for TF2 before TF2 became what it was / be like a space-y team based shooter. It could have very well been successful in that format at the time.
Microsoft picked it up and then basically just wanted a console FPS - Not a larger scale online team based shooter like TF/Battlefield.
Here's the old article I vaguely remember - http://halo.bungie.org/pressscans/display.html?scan=cgw1199
I like to think it would have been a larger game more on the scale of the original battlefields or even Planetside but would have had a singleplayer mode along with a team based multiplayer mode.

That's the PC Gamer article I also remember.
Frankly I think it would have been a better game on the PC/Mac. Sure, Halo as it came to be on the console is also an important and memorable game, but that's really only because it really was the first big game to do multiplayer FPS on the console so well.
