Free to leave a game after players leave....

This is ridiculous. In a lot of other competitive games like MOBA’s if people leave during a match their banned. However if half your team leaves, the game will say “No penalty for leaving now” so you don’t have to sit there in a very one-sided match where it’s either 1v4 in Slayer or your team in Warzone is backed up in spawn getting demolished the very second we hit X cause they have twice as many people on their team.

League of Legends was able to make this into their games with little to no budget because their game was free. Halo is a multi-million dollar franchise yet we still have these major matchmaking issues? I know the ultimate source of the problem is leavers but that’s a much harder thing to do deal with so for the time being… can we not be forced to continuously spawn into the slaughter?

It’s a good game, but things like this keep it from being great. I’m trying to obey the rules by not quitting but… might as well ask me to bend over the second a teammate leaves cause that’s what will happen. If it becomes a 2v4 or nearly 2X as many enemies we should be free to leave without penalty. Cause I can’t help but feel like I’m being punished for following the rules.

Totally agree

I say that if at least half of a team is no longer present in the match, you should be able to leave a game with no penalty. Why should I have to take the slaughter of a 2v4 match because half my team left?

Because 343 does not care about modifying the ban system. They would rather put that time into reqs

its not the game its the people

you dont blame your keyboard for typos or your car for running out of gas do you?

Halo has always emphasized team play

there are resources out there to find people to play with that wont quit on you

LoL and MOBAs give an easy way out and promote quitting and such if the going gets tough

you want to “get gud” then be ready to work for it in games like Halo when you solo Q

tbh solo Q’ers get the most respect for me because they go into a game with nothing and try their best
even more so if they stay in a losing 1 V 4

if you are in a 1V4 situation you Ranger up and take as many as you can with you, make them work to stay positive and not go neg against a “solo scrub”

AM I RIGHT MARINE?!?!

This. Even when the chips are down, and -Yoink- teammates leave, soldier up and make them work for it…

I wanna agree with this, but… its like, 1 kill for 10 deaths. Rip K/D. I understand where OP is going, it is unfair, I hate being in a situation where I’m 1v4ing, there is no hope of leaving nor a ban, and getting kills in this situation is hopeless.

LOL at your #. Don’t get me wrong, I am all about hide and go seek when this happens, but I find it somewhat fun when it does. K/D does go to -Yoink-…but as always, fun trumps K/D. As long as you can find the humor in it right?

There are a few things they can do to solve this. One would be, as suggested, allow us to leave without penalty.

There can also be a mercy rule put into place. Once the player population drops below a set number and the team with the most players reach a set number of kills over the undermanned team just call the game.

Then they could offer a buff to the undermanned team to give them a sporting chance against the team with more people. Say buff the players health or shields. The less people on a team the more of a buff you get.

Either solution would be fine by me.

Exactly, after a 2v4 i think it should be okay to quit if you want to without being punished. that’s an unfair fight.
