A debate rages within the "For Honor" community regarding whether or not players should play with honor or just go for the kill. Some players are arguing that the game should be played honorably because it's what the title suggests. Others however are against it because it's a major buzz kill.

Don't Play Honorably With "For Honor"

Those who are for playing "For Honor" honorably are already calling Ubisoft out to de-power environmental hazards; while others are embracing them believing it's the purpose of the game, Euro Gamer reported. The win, according to these players, is all that matters.

According to some players who follow the secret code of ethics, an honorable victory is earned through outsmarting opponents; not pushing people environmental kills via lava, hoit springs, or protruding spikes. A Reddit user by the name of "soundslikeponies" argues that the environmentals in the game make doing any tactic to defeat an opponent pointless. That's because it wouldn't matter if the player hits the other six times as long as the other succeeds in throwing the opponent off the cliff.

The debate within the "For Honor" community is getting much attention lately. Players are signalling each other a set of rules to play with honor before starting a duel. But most people just ignore them and gank, behead, or even troll their opponents after a duel.

Another Reddit user "BroWithTheFrO" is saying players should embrace the hazards. That's because the developer, Ubisoft, placed it there for varied options. Moreover, he argues that players who embrace the so-called 'ethics' and scold other players for not following them are stupid.

Secret Code Of Ethics For Serious Gamers 

"For Honor" is a melee combat game of knights vs. Vikings vs. Samurais, Mashable reported. For some players, it's really OK to do dishonorable things while playing the game even when the title of the game is "For Honor".

The secret code of ethics includes not landing the final blow to steal a team mate's health. It also calls environmental kills as cheap. Another is beheading the enemy or spamming emotes after a victory. Moreover, serious "For Honor" players say pushing an opponent off the cliff for an instant kill is not honorable at all.

Finally, if players had a good fight, they must tell the other that it was a good fight. But for those who are just in for the win, these ethics are a load of baloneys; nothing more or less.
