Microsoft is taking action against players who are using racial slurs and betraying others in the ongoing Halo 3 beta test on PC. Writing on Twitter, community director Brian Jarrard confirmed these offending players are being banned, and they will be forbidden from joining future tests.

Not only that, but when Halo 3 is finally, officially released on PC through The Master Chief Collection, these players will "face consequences."

Jarrard's comments came after Halo studio 343 Industries said it was increasing its efforts to ban players for racist and hateful behavior in all Halo titles.
