I know there is still known issues of crashing which this might be. So when those issues get resolved I think much much harsher rules need to be put in place so sweeps stop happening. Last session I played I won 3 Games and Lost 2 due to players just leaving early. Just so disheartening to be playing and then the instant loss as soon as a player leaves. Even if a Spatarn level bot replaced them would be better than nothing.

Really sucks getting the crashes. It’s rare but affects me or my friend every night.

I definitely agree but first they need to remove the main reasons people quit.
Throwing a gold in with plats, hit registration, people phasing through others getting back smacks from the front, rockets bouncing off of people’s faces all cause rage quits.
If people are getting forced to play ranked, even more so with the new challenges, then they experience any of the above, they will quit.
Like I say, I definitely agree but if they fix the reasons it will have a much bigger impact than banning people. Once the issues are fixed then yeah - firing squad them for all I care

Yeah i only mentioned crashes but for me in Australia. For some reason it goes from 17 ping servers which are normal and already have their hit reg issues of melees not working. But then randomly it throws us in 150 ping servers and expects us to play as good as the 17 ping one. Just really unfair. So after all those issues are resolved then yeah throw the hammer.

Yes, firing squad, hammer (ban hammer or actual hammer) or at least castration to protect future generations. Any are fine by me.
Literally just happened between the message i sent and your reply. Had a massive come back and a guy left which meant how 60 point comeback in strongholds meant nothing. Just ruins all momentum when playing back to back games. Just wanna grind CSR but with this it makes it so dam hard ,

Yeah, also ranked specific game types that are clearly fixed not to show up so it forces you to play more than you originally intended.

By now the “Curious” were gone and HALO lost 90% of its playerbase because it has too many problems to be a “Serious” competitive game.
You can see the numbers in STEAM it does not have 10% of what it had when it came out and you can see the views on Twitch of the 70k that it had right now with troubles it
can reach 3k-5k.
You can also realize why they have already started to put DIAMOND vs Silver / Gold players simply because there are NO players available, the same thing happened to GEARS 5 it was normal to see diamonds vs bronze so “The coalition” removed the ranks.

I’m getting really tired of being matched with opponents and teammates who have ranks nowhere near close to mine. It makes the entire experience so unpredictable, and de-ranking that much worse for things completely out of my control. Add to that almost no one uses mics. Ranked is starting to feel like a waste of time to me.

I have lost 3 ranked games in a row when a player has either not loaded in the beginning of a match, quit in the middle (either intentionallyor from server error), or goes afk. Extremely annoying and I agree that harsher punishments should be implemented. I don’t mind if I get paired wiht someone of lower skill, it’s aggravating, but it’s a breath of fresh air when someone new comes in to try. It’s like I can teach someone the same joy I feel when playing Halo.
The problem is that Devs from halo / gears → tc / 343. They do not play their own game, a dev who would test his ranking thoroughly would never launch such a poor competitive mode
Microsoft studios are experts in releasing beautiful games with epic multiplayer but they leave them to their fate and I repeat “the same devs” do not play their product.
I ask you. If you were DEV of halo, you DARE to put a SILVER 1 player vs a DIAMOND 6 in competitive, would you?
First GAME BACK! and another person left. Idk why I’m playing anymore with this often of people leaving… lol next game a person left on ours and then there’s at the end. And its a 100 ping server. So that’s back to back games of people leaving. One ending in us getting smashed after winning. And the next became a 3v3. The next 3 matches were all on servers with over 180 ping. The worst part I know if I now wait a few min and try again the next server will most likely be 10-15 ping. Why is it throwing me to an overseas one? just makes it unplayable.

Ranked is so tainted by players that could care less about their rank. So busy with challenges or who knows what. It is a damn shame…

But what happens when i’m forced to play ranked through challenges and don’t get the game mode I need?
I hate playing ranked as it is so don’t see why I should be forced to play!
What they really should be focusing on with ranked is encouraging people to form full parties before they queue up. You’re playing to win in ranked, so you should be doing what you can to win. Picking your party members before hand is doing just that because queuing up and letting the AI matchmaker pick people for you when there’s only so much that AI can do to pick them. You may as well be playing to lose doing things like solo queuing…
Hell, even support clans and sub communities where people can see when others are online that are looking for teammates. Even comment on how people play so bad apples that join said communities can be called out even.
OoooooooOooooo this. Definitely this. Boils my blood everytime.

I’m also having incredibly high pings as of early this morning. I’m in a region with great internet, and I’ve never had this before. But I’m now getting matches upwards of 150-160 back to back, and on the low end 50-60. Usually I’m at 19-20, and on a bad night at 35 ping. Nowhere near what I started seeing early this morning.
I had one match over the weekend where 3 of the 4 enemy team members left the match. My team spent most of their time chasing the remaining enemy. Throughout the ordeal I was hoping they would leave him alone and let the time expire.
Until they stop forcing me in objective matches , I won’t feel guilty quitting shrugs especially when I don’t have teammates who don’t play the lousy objective. I’m sorry, but after the whole crashing fiasco that ruined my rank in games we were about to win so painstakingly, and still not having a ranked Slayer, to hell with it. I won’t be mad when people rage quit off my team.
Not like the game compensates you for ANYTHING in Ranked.
