It’s terrible. I got disconnected from 3 games in a row, and my Xbox crashed at the beginning of a 4th, and the game then banned me for 15 minutes.
Yeah… it definitely needs a rework at least. Seems like it quit-bans more crashes and glitches than people just dropping from a match.
And in my opinion I understand having issues dropping from ranked matches, but quit bans need to be toned way down for casual in general. Its just too aggressive when there are stability issues on both PC and Xbox
They probably have to Beta Test a new ban system
I agree, the population is not doing to well and banning people for 5 minutes after just 1 quit usualy just pushes people to other games. Its a self fulfilling prophecy
We had more lenient ban timers but too many people whinged and complained so 343 changed them to what they are now. And oh, would you look at that, it didn’t and doesn’t stop people from quitting just as everyone pointed out when the new timers were implemented.
100% agree. 10 minute bans is more than enough. Players shouldn’t be getting 16 hour bans because they can’t get the mode they want.
The ban system should definitely be removed. Its frustrating when the bug that crashes your game and turns your Xbox off, also bans you from playing multiplayer.
Why is the ban on custom games, even a thing?
Also to stop people just straight up leaving modes they don’t want to play, they should add veto.
I agree here. I think they should do in social just like infinite in social: join in progres on and you only get a ban if you have multiple ‘quits’ in a day (i think it’s somewhere 7-10 quits or so?)
Veto won’t stop that, because people to often just focus on their own point of view here. They only think that they can vote the mode they don’t want. But forget that the rest can also just as much veto the mode you DO want, because they don’t want it. Veto don’t make you get the mode you want, it can even do the opposite (especially if you like a mode that isn’t that popular). People will quit because they didn’t get the mode they wanted will still do that and still exist. I think it has at most a small effect on it (only for the very unpopular modes it will have effect, but then again, the ones who love those won’t get their mode anymore…)
If a mode is super unpopular, it shouldn’t be in matchmaking rotation at all, it’s super unpopular for a reason.
It should be for rank only.
Makes no sense for social games.
I’m actually going to agree with the idea of this post. The population for MCC isn’t big enough to warrant a ban system, even in comp. Coupled with the bug that shuts off your xbox in matchmaking, 343 should just axe the ban system for MCC entirely.
What MCC needs now is Join in Progress like Infinite has, its one of these features that would solve the quitting problem for sure. And if Bots were ever to be made as a feature in MCC would be amazing.
Yeah as someone who frequently played Halo 4 throughout its lifespan let me tell you, JIP is NOT a good idea for Halo. It just doesn’t fix the problem. Someone will ALWAYS join on the team who is losing by an impossible amount, possibly resulting in the joiner quitting too.
