You would think that by now the devs would have put in some kind of system that would tell the difference when players actually quit their matches and when players are being forced out of the game because of connecting issues but I guess that’s just a sad reminder that’s not case. I’ve been having problems getting into matches this early afternoon but whenever I get in a match for the first few seconds, I get kicked out. And after this had happened a few more times, I get banned for something I had no control over and the game fails to realize that before I have to head off to work. Thanks 343 for this ban system that punishes players who are unfortunate to get in matches because of connection issues.
As soon as someone develops a system that detects genuine disconnects vs people quitting they’ll make bank because every game identifies both as a “quit”

The only consolation is the bans in these situations are quite short.
By the time your connections issues have resolved themselves (could by your computer, your modem, the local ISP, the server, or the game) the ban should be over.

I didn’t get any of that from what he said.
It was more of “tough break, dude.”
Let’s not turn this post into a “let’s -Yoink- on the guy with the take I don’t like.”

Doesn’t bother me too much. Keeps them out of my matches, means more likely to have full matches from start to finish.
But I am sorry to hear you having troubles though regardless. Maybe they can use that down time to fix their connection issues perhaps? I mean they have nothing better to do now so why not? Once it’s fixed then they won’t have to worry about being banned again too boot! So everyone wins! Hazzah!
Not by me man I don’t have the capital for that lol

It’s doesn’t bother you because it hasn’t happened to you yet.
And it never will either as I actually take the time to fix issues beforehand before jumping in and they cause problems.
I think I have around 1500 to 2000 matches in this game. Wanna know how many times I left early? I believe around 15 to 25 max. I do my best to not leave under any situation because I want my teammates to have as good of an experience as they can get and as I want. They’re enjoyment is just as valuable as is mine.
In return, I get a lot of friend requests and fire team invites as of late too. So it has benefits in game for good behavior!
Ok, I just checked…
1,914 total matches
Tracker stats I only have 17 matches listed as “DNF”, or did not finish.
I think the real issue is telling the difference between a player induced connection problem (pulling the plug/switching the modem off) and a genuine connection problem.
This is exactly why there’s no game that does this. You’d literally need to make the game read the player’s mind. Otherwise people would just plug their modem or intentionally lag themselves out by starting a ton of downloads.
1,300 here. 2 DNF.

It’s probably not hard, at least in terms of game history.
Connection problems should happen randomly. Equally spread over maps and modes. It should happen just as often when you are doing well or doing badly. At random times into the match.
I suspect relatively few people have “connection problems” when their team is in front and/or they have a KD > 1
Absolutely but only if you are happy with a confidence interval of 0.95. You could just not count disconnects when your team is winning and your personal K/D is above 1.0.
