I'm quitting Halo Infinite Ranked because of 3v4, and my friends are too

I have 110 hours in the game. I’ve never played Halo before in my life, since I’ve always played games on PC. When I first played Infinite’s multiplayer, I fell in love. It sparked that same feeling I had when I first played CS. But the game keeps crashing, and it’s ruined my passion for the game.

The game’s stability on PC is questionable at best, terrible at worst. The amount of people crashing is ridiculous, and it ruins the experience for everyone involved. I’ve played about 7 games today, and every single match was a 3v4 of some sort from the start.

I’m tired of losing 1/3 of the ranked MMR bar from a d/c. I lose more rank in a week from d/c then I do from actually losing games, and it’s a constant grind to get back the MMR I lost. Even worse, the teammates I play with now have to lose rank as well from losing a 3v4, and even when you win a 3v4 match you gain less MMR back (from what it seems). Me and my friends have all played since the Beta and half of our original group has quit the game because they’re tired of this.

The fact that Counter Strike, a game that’s 8 years old, has a Ranked Rejoin feature and the flagship game of Xbox doesn’t is absolutely ridiculous. I would absolutely have rejoined every single match I d/c from. Please add a vote feature that allows the game to pause for 2 minutes so players can relaunch and rejoin. Let players disconnect instead of forcing them to play in a 3v4 match for 12 minutes. You’re killing your own ranked community by making players play games that leave them feeling miserable at the end, and completely killing any sense of competitive spirit in a match.

I think they should do it this way:

  • Leave a match (be it DC or Leave) you will be sent back to menu
  • Option to rejoin match available for 3 minutes
  • 3 minutes up = everyone in the match can leave. They can play but there will be no Rank gain or loss.

What this does :
Players are not punished for a leaver or just sheer bad luck of one disconnected player.
Players can still complete the match for Rank related challenges.

Yes please can we get an option to rejoin or something… sometimes I disconnect when the game crashes and I lost a lot of CSR because of this… and my teammates are at a disadvantage cuz of this… its not fair for me or my teammates … Quick play has the option to rejoin but why cant rank…

I agree with the forfeit clause, this should absolutely be a thing. I think a vote system would be better, but for the most part this works.

However it should still count as a loss to some degree to prevent potential misuse.

Man, where was this hate for all the past Halo games that did this exact same thing? It’s like people are coming out of nowhere just to complain and join that train.

I’ve personally said it in posts before that ‘if there’s one legacy of all the great legacies 343 did bring over, this is one they didn’t need to bring over, it’s the inability to rejoin matches’. It’s an old outdated feature that was most likely only the case due to limitations anyway. It’s clearly causing issues in a time when match rejoin is a quality of life standard.

Let’s be honest, this wasn’t a great aspect in any Halo title. I’m sure it could be spun in a way that makes it sound endearing if someone really tried, but it sure did cause problems back in the day too in some way, shape, or form and players did complain.

Having a re join game option is a great idea, but I don’t think I have disconnected from a single game. Nor has my friends. You mention PC? Is this the reason? We all play on Series S’ and pretty decent internet. We do get the getting killed around the corner occasionally but that’s when I play with my brother in Asia. We are all in the U.K.

What if you’re winning 20-5 in a slayer match… opposing player decides to quit cause of how bad his team are doing. Pulls cable?

Match goes in to suspension. Player doesn’t come back. Winners don’t get nothing….

I remember years ago we use to play fifa and people would always quit to escape the loss. So frustrating.

How would the computer differentiate between disconnects and people that pulls out their Ethernet?

They get barred from matching, same as MCC.

I’ve disconnected from MCC and quit on purpose and was barred both times the same.

It might be more of a PC thing, but I think this happens on every console.

I’ve been in a several stacks where players have DC’d for various non-purposeful reasons, and it’s unfortunate because I know these people feel bad about what happened because it’s actively being conveyed in I’ve discord lol.

Well it’s been a thing since H2 but I haven’t noticed any difference from other games. I remember when Destiny first came out it happened a lot to everybody but they then fixed it after about a month.

they have acknowledged this issue so I’m sure it is or will be fixed in a certain amount of time.

Not saying it shouldn’t be in here. But just funny still.

But if you and your friends got together, assuming there are at least three of them, your problem is mostly solved.

Sad to say I’ve not gone back to Ranked since I lost points for winning

I’d rather wait for it to be fixed
