Players quitting out of games early is a rampant problem in MCC at the moment, and I believe there is a way to minimize it. On Halo Reach for the 360, there was a small chance of players getting a massive credit jackpot at the end of a match. If you completed multiple games in a row without leaving, your chances would increase. Adding something similar into MCC would have many benefits. For one it would encourage people to finish games instead of leaving. Next, many people aren’t fans of the current progression system since it feels too “grindy”. Adding a way for players to progress through it faster would massively encourage players to keep playing.
On a side note, adding Join Match In Progress for Social would be a great addition for filling empty games, but that’s a discussion for another thread.

XP jackpot would be cool! If they thing the progression system is too grindy, they’ll for sure be heartbroken when they reach tour 4

Ohhhh yeahhhhh that’s a good idea! Though I’d rather see the teamwork side replaced, because I hardly get the good boosts on it, as I play swat mainly while grinding.

I think teamwork is fine. It makes sense in my opinion to get XP based on assists and other objective-based medals, but I agree that the weight is kind of weird because of the separate XP caps.
Pretty sure in the current gaming environment, the XP jackpot may be viewed as a form of gambling , if 343i are smart it’s something to stay well clear of .

How is it gambling? You’re not paying real money or anything. And you’d still get your regular XP from a match if you didn’t get it. Reach on 360 literally had a slot machine when giving you credits. If they’re concerned about the word “jackpot” they can just change it to “boost”, or “bonus” or something like that.

Key words and the context being ,’ may’ be viewed as a form of gambling ,and current gaming environment… Reach release was a very different 2010 gaming landscape. Terminology like jackpor and your usage of the word ‘slot machine’ just further illustrates and reinforces the perception of a gambling.
Whether it is or not, isn’t really the point it’s the perception it creates and again one I think any dev would want to steer clear of in today’s gaming environment

I can understand why jackpot can be associated with gambling, however I don’t think it can be considered gambling in this context. It would be pretty far fetched. I mean, it’s not like buying lootboxes or tickets to a virtual slot machine with real money and hoping to get pieces or armor or unlockables. It’s a simple bonus that everyone gets when they complete matches. Anyways, I would not mind seeing it called “bonus” or even just “match completed” if it means staying safe from such considerations.

Yeah Teamwork is a good boost for alot of people, just not me, or swat grinders lolz… I know we are the minority though, I seriously doubt it will ever be messed with.
