being able to back out before the game starts

Please remove this feature. I play BTB all day and almost every time we match another team of 8, they back out to protect their stats, because they all recognize us. Idk why this is in the game in the first place but it is making it extremely difficult to get a game that’s not against 8 random players.

I second that

I second this.

The game only starts when a match is locked in. It lock in when the teams are even and the map is selected. If people are “backing out” They are dash boarding. That is something 343 and xbox can’t stop. If you want people to be punished for dash boarding then thats what you should ask 343.

not in thie game BWO, as long as party leader hasnt voted yet, they can back their whole team back to lobby in the voting screen.

I back out when I don’t want to play Ragnarok for the 50th consecutive time.

If the map hasn’t been locked in then anyone can back out. Im talking about after the players and map has been locked in. if people can still vote then the map hasn’t been locked in therefor people can leave. I don’t see how you don’t understand this. Its always been like that.

no, in every halo before this one, once the players were locked in, you could not back out. this is the first one you can do it in.

Stats / K/d shouldn’t matter now in this game anymore. I’ve given up for the competitive spark that I had in both H2 and H3 in their heydays.
