I don’t know if it’s just me and I’m an anomoly, but 7/10 of my Team Arena ranking matches went down to eigther 3v4, 2v4, or 1v4. Of my 7 completed ranking matches for Team Slayer, 4 of them have gone down to 3-2-1v4. I don’t know why people keep leaving when the game is actually quite even, or why 343 can’t just leave in their rotating playlists so we don’t have to leave and come back for fun, but this needs to stop. A match can’t be competitive when the teams aren’t even. There needs to be some sort of mercy rule like destiny has, where if it’s just an unsalvageable game score it just ends to spare the K/D of the losers.
EDIT 1: Feel free to tell me I’m an anomaly, or critique my mercy rule fix, or provide entirely new solutions, that aren’t “leave the game”.
if you diconnect 2 you get banned if somebody really care maybe decrease their rank then
i think the best thing is could potentially be to just throw all the quitters into the same lobbies, and they stay there until that get their DNF % down to less then 5% for that season

Perhaps a ‘low priority’ server section would be nice, and perhaps a mercy rule only for the first week of each season when they resort the quitters from the non quitters from the pros. Mr. Burns Excellent…

just something, anything, i would say take away req points, but to the few that really do get random disconnects that seems a little stiff, which is why a lobby based around ppl with bad connections or habitual quitting i think is better, it keeps the ones who want to stay happy and mkes the quitters see how it feels when they are the ones with the bad team mates
My opinion: Don’t ban the gamer tag, ban the console, or both. Problem solved.

I’ll tell you why people quit is because of the cheaters I wont play a game with cheaters and when I quit I get banned that’s some bs I pay for my membership and If I quit bc I want to bc of the losers that cant play fair that’s my chopice and 343 or Microsoft has the balls to ban me I’m in the middle of putting together a class action suit against them bc in Halo reach are the worst cheaters and when you report them 343 nor Microsoft do -Yoink- about it.

I like it. Quitters in arena team games need harsh punishments as they are destroying the ranks of their teammates. Plus many do it to derank so they can play and beat up the bronze players. So they ruin it for their teammates initially and then ruin the experience of lower ranked players. Pathetic really.
It is tough to solo arena… Littered with quitters or people killing you to get a weapon. Hope these individuals get banned more!
I agree seems the bans don’t matter much to people so it ruins it for the player

You can’t sue 343i for banning you. When you play on their servers, you are subject to their rules. They have clauses that basically state they can deny service to people for whatever reason they want. Most multiplayer game companies, if not all, have similar agreements you must agree to in order to play. So a class action lawsuit against 343i because you were banned won’t get you anywhere. Especially if you get banned for quitting, which every playlist in Halo 5 tells you not to or else you risk getting banned.

ok so it also states that if you cheat you get banned for life and they done nothing about it bc the same players are doing It over and over I have video proof and that’s good enough for a suit so they breached their own terms
I think the getting knocked out of a match is more prevalent than quitting. I know I will crash at least one game in an hour session. 50 gig speed hardwired and reboot the network prior to playing. I’m also in North Carolina and according to microsofts servers location there’s one in Virginia. Not sure what happens but I don’t just crash to the halo screen I crash to the Xbox home.
The banning system needs to be reworked because rn im pissed. I played through an entire arena match. We won. And because the while it’s showing the victory animation i lost my connection with the server and the game thinks i quit. So i lose my req points, the match victory, the boost i used for the match, and im banned all because the xbox live service sucks and microsoft isnt doing its job and keeping these servers in tip top shape

that happens all the time and when others quit we get banned also they don’t care about fair play the halo server lags and sux they are behind the times of ps gaming, Microsoft and 343 are horrible and if any moderators were looking in on these forums they wud do something but they are the cheaters as well
A mercy rule, to which I’m not completely opposed, only serves to exchange one problem for another rather than just solving the original problem to begin with. A mercy rule might save your k/d but you’re virtually guaranteeing that no arena match ever finishes by score or time ever again. They’ll all start with a quitter or two, and end when the quitters’ teammates opt out. How long do you imagine the arena remains functional while that’s allowed to go on?
I wish I had a solution for the problem, but I don’t. And I’m not sure that what you’re proposing wouldn’t spiral wildly out of control and be the death of traditional Halo 4v4 game play.

I’ve brought this up a bunch of times. I think there are a million different options for 343 to try and they have not tried any of them.
