Games Other Halo

So in my recent experiance it is becomming more and more common that I get punished for trying to finish games on a regular a basis. I frequent the MLG playlist and I played 10 games today in those 10 games in 4 of them 1 of my 3 teammates left within the 1st 5 minutes and in 3 of those 4 games I ended up being the last guy in the game and ended up getting statted but I didnt want to leave cause I would have been banned from matchmaking for those 10 pointless minutes.

What I am trying to say/write here in this forum post is pretty simple and I suppose I will stop beating around the bush.

In matchmaking people leave games to often and everyone in the Halo Universe knows that there is no REAL punishment when leaving games. The people who play MLG to be competitive are constantly getting screwed over by Bad kids going into the playlist and leaving within the 1st 3 minutes because they are afraid of having a low K/D.

I would suggest the following:
-Make a real “punishment” for those who leave matches
-Make it so that after 1 person quits on your team that other people can leave without getting banned
-Make a MLG FFA playlist where people from the MLG community can improve individually without being dependent on people who will quit out of games.

This game is going to be my #1 game for at least another 3/4 year till halo 4 comes out.

I understand Halo:Reach is not 343s creation but you guys are responcable for its short future leading up to Halo 4. Please take into consideration what I have said/wrote here. I am definatly would appreciate if the community pull with me on this and all supporters of these suggestions I have made please post a comment keep this topic hot on the forums and draw a little attention to this post. Lets make the Halo/MLG experiance a better one! Thank you in advance to everyone that reads this or posts on this.

I bet instead of offering a helpful response, someone will say well thats what MLG is all about.

But yea i liked your idea that other 3 can leave after one. Its fun for neither team
4 v 1.

Personally speaking, I’ve always found the Arena playlist to be more “Competitive” than the MLG playlist… not because of any particular map list or gametype settings, but because of the kinds of players who frequent the playlist.

In my experience, you are far less likely to run across early quitters in the arena, since it would so heavily effect their ranking.

This is very true I have started playing Arena, I have also relised that I have now a goal…Which is something that was lacking in Reach.

Well I don’t know what the current deal is, but there was talk of MLG getting Arena ratings, although it’s been highly debated due to the low pop. I would think the population would increase if it was ranked, as I personally don’t play it because it will match 4 randoms against a team of MLG 50’s like every other game. If I could get games where I could carry my randoms, or even if there was any decent matching system, I’m sure more people would be playing it than customs.

Honestly I say MLG tries it out and if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work, but I say why not.

Would be an interesting concept to say the least. And the MLG pop has gone from 300 to like 500-2000 sense NB so I think the pop wouldnt be that much of a problem now
