Is there a way to "dashboard" it before the game?

In Halo Reach you could hit the centre button then go to the xbox dashboard during the countdown before a game if you didn’t want to play the map that was chosen and not get quit penalised. Is there any way to do this on xbox one for Halo? Needless to say half the maps on big team battle are absolutely shocking. Gameplay is horrible (scavenger, recurve… cough cough) and I just do not have the patience to sit through a terrible game and not even be able to quit at the risk of being banned for 15 hours.

Short of turning off my xbox… is there any way to quit a game before it starts?

Centre button, wait 2 seconds, scroll down to quit, then quit. Then head back into game.

Use it all the time lol there should be a veto system

You can also hit the home button and select any game on your home screen, even if you don’t have the disc in. It will attempt to get into that game and quit Halo simultaneously… Just do it before the countdown.

My favorite button combination.

I know right. So sick of these broken poop maps coming around on rotation more than the good ones.

Like the op said, how recurve even made it onto matchmaking is beyond me. Map looks and plays like some noob put it together with a friend at a sleepover.

press the xbox button, press start and quit

You could just play the damn game instead of screwing your teammates like a -yoink!-

No one gets screwed when you dashboard properly. The game will wait until another player fills that spot.

You’ll need this sooner or later.

We don’t need quitters

It actually doesn’t. The game gets another player to fill the game in.

QTB before the timer shows up. The game never started, and another player will fill the spot.

I love this post…

Read my mind! But seriously sometimes the map rotation thing sometimes gets pretty old. Once played on Molten twice in three consecutive slayer matches!

When Tyrant pops up I usually press the home button, press the menu (start) button while hovering on Halo 5, and click quit.

Or not. It’s my choice.

As long as you dashboard before the game starts, no need to worry about bans.

Yeah, I’ve heard that before. If you can’t back out I’ll be seeing you at some point.

good trick. Seems legit
