I would like to see 343 Industries implement this option, on the condition you were outnumbered in a match, however, the definition of outnumbered should be classified by two players against one, and the forfeit would require a unanimous team vote with the remaining members. The forfeit option will not replace, the quit and be penalized option in the start menu, the forfeit option will simply pop-up once for the team that has been classified as outnumbered and they need to make a quick vote to declare or decline a forfeit; the decision is final, unless another teammate quits, to which it cycles the prompt again; if no vote or selection is made it defaults to continued play. No forfeit option will be available in any free-for-all based playlist. Quitting players will be penalized with a loss and reputation penalty on their player I.D.
Example: For this example I am going to use a generic 4v4 slayer-based match.
-
1 v 4 (Option available) - 2 v 4 (Option available) [Veto required: 2] - 3 v 4 (No option) - 4 v 4 (No option)Example: For this example I am going to use a big team battle scale of 8v8.

1 v 8 (Option available) - 2 v 8 (Option available) [Veto required: 2] - 3 v 8 (Option available) [Veto required: 3] - 4 v 8 (Option available) [Veto required: 4] - 5 v 8 (No option) - 6 v 8 (No option) - 7 v 8 (No option) - 8 v 8 (No option)In the instance of a declared forfeit:
-
Blue Team (Forfeit) - The forfeit match is a unique variant on the win, loss or draw scale to which none is awarded, and the match is declassified, or redacted, from the stricken record of the player; this includes, but is not limited to, a players individual medals, kill-death ratio, commendations. The only available bonus is the in-game experience from the match and any possible xbox achievements that may have unlocked within the time frame of play. This result makes the entire game forfeit. - Red Team (Did Not Finish) - Having not finished the game due to an unfair technicality, the opposing team is not hindered by any drawbacks from a forfeited match, instead they are still offered a win for the match, awarded their individual medals, kill-death ratios, commendations and xbox achievements.In the instance of a declined forfeit:
-
Blue Team (Did Not Forfeit) - This team has been classified as outnumbered and has been given the option to forfeit, however, the overall remaining players have elected to continue the match. The game continues as a normal win, loss or draw scenario.
