Players that are AFK for a long period of time should be automatically booted from the game saying “You have been booted due to inactivity.” Theses players hurt your team because free kills can be gained off of them which might end up messing with the Skilled Ranking System. If a high level player went AFK and then some beginner player got like 10 straight kills off of him, it would be a false representation of skill.
Even if your team is doing good with a AFK player on your team, they shouldn’t get credit for the win if they weren’t and/or rarely playing. That is why I suggest if you are AFK for ore than 3 minutes, you should be booted from the game automatically.

I agree, nothing is worse than having an AFK on any team based game.

Have to agree with u there the amount of AFKers there are just to level up without doing anything is sad i mean if ur going afk seriously leave ur lobby wait till u come back then start searching again, don’t let ur team down.

it should even go as far as to replace someone with a similar rank so that its stays balanced
I agree with removing the person after a period of time, but I’ll be -Yoink!- if join in progress is implemented. I can’t stand getting placed in an ongoing match. It completely ruins the flow of the game imo. I’m speaking from a ranked playlist pov.
Another way they could prevent afking is to implement a series of button patterns that are required before the start of a match to make sure the persons actually there.

Or, you know, just push A to set yourself to ready between games.
I would also agree that Halo needs a booted for inactivity option. Maybe as it gets close to a minute, text appears warning you are about to be booted for inactivity. And if nothing is done, then they are booted. I also think Join-in-Progress could work as long as you could select it. Say if for the Slayer playlist we have, once selected it gives the option to search for lobby, or quick start. While the former option will put you in a lobby as it does now, the quick start option looks at all available spaces, whether it be a lobby or a game in progress.
I just got a Perfection because three guys were AFK on the other team for most of the match. And while I know that it is a fake Perfection, I’m not going to lie–it was cool to hear “Running Riot” and “Perfection”. It’ll never happen again…
agreed. It happened to me way too much today. Why is it happening so much in the beta? People are specifically signing into a limited time beta game and then not playing. Wtffffffffff?
