Alright, what the hell is going on with people quitting?
It’s not like they join in, get owned, and rage quit…More like, join in, wait a few seconds, and leave at the beginning of the match.
I’ve just given up on even playing with randoms or even playing Halo Reach at all for this very reason.
It’s already bad enough with the horrid connection plaguing this game.
I agree. It gets old pretty fast. Ironically, these quit bans and probation that were put in place have really not prevented people from quitting. It’s like playing Halo 2 all over again.

Agreed. I’m not trying to love up on Bungie too much or being an oldfag, but I really think the connection was 10x better when they were around. Sure there were a few times when it would lag, but not nearly as much as it does now.
I believe the lag is the reason people quit so fast and just give up on even trying to play the match.
I’m just going to wait for Halo 4 to roll around and hope that it succeeds.
I really need to get my Halo fix. xD
I really wish people would stop blaming 343 for Reach’s problems, the low populations and garbage connections are Bungie’s fault as a result of making a terrible game hence the game being unpopular.

There’s not much you can do about quitters. It’s been a problem since Halo 2, and personally, I think it’s been less of a problem in Reach, but not enough of one.
The only option I could see is to removed the option to quite all together, and/or add a credit penalty. Gears does this for ranked matches, and it seems to work.
As for the bad connection thing: that’s probably something on your end. Reach plays fine for me and my friends.

I wish people would stop blaming Bungie for listening to their community, but we can’t all have what we want.

When did the community ask for a garbage game like reach? Who the hell asked for bloom, AL, and one ranked playlist that’s garbage to boot? Who asked for this?
People who quit on the other team make me mad, because then its boring trying to hunt down 2 enemies with 4 other teammates. I dont mind that much if my team quits, yesterday my whole team quit in anniversary, classic slayer on battle canyon and I SMOKED THE WHOLE TEAM 33 to 12 by myself!

People were asking for a game about Reach since Halo 2 and the Book Fall of Reach.
I quit. Only because the other team needs skill. I quit either because it is too easy or people are camping with shot gun, overshield with pistol, or a sword.

This.
Also, its natural for people to quit out when bad maps (community maps) or stupid game times (elite slayer/AR slayer fest) are picked.
Why should i have to play Hemorrhoidhedge 5x in a row in BTB just because little kids like -Yoink!- the sniper and tanks?
What MM type are you going to because people could be trying to do the weekly but no magnum means no weekly
I’ve seen this problem before as well. On Team SWAT, it doesn’t affect you that much because everybody is one shot, and can’t duck behind cover to get shields back, so what happens is one team has four targets to kill, and the other only has one, so the fewer the people on your team, usually the more kills you get. I can see how this would be frustrating on Team Slayer though, because they can take turns messing you up and recharging their shields and you cannot. However, don’t let it get you down. The main reason people quit out is because it wasn’t the map they voted for. All quitters get banned eventually, and they miss out on the jackpots, so when you see someone quit out, just smile, cause things are going to come back on them in the near future 
As far as the crap connection though, that’s because 343i is trying to update the servers and get better ones. Don’t be mad about the horrid connection, because it will be better soon.

Play SWAT. There is no excuse for purposefully quitting out of games. If you need magnum kills, play anniversary or Team SWAT. In SWAT you ALWAYS spawn with a magnum. There is even a game that is ONLY a magnum.
> I quit. Only because the other team needs skill. I quit either because it is too easy or people are camping with shot gun, overshield with pistol, or a sword.
Don’t play team games if you are going to be a lone wolf. Also, if you can’t kill a camper, you suck. In most maps and playlists, there are counter weapons to every weapon. If you can’t get ahold of that weapon, there is no shame in grenade spamming. As I said earlier, no excuses.

Hopefully with new severs I can play with all my friends. My connection isn’t compatible with at least three friends and I need to make a larger group that everyone can join.
It’s humorous that some people think Reach uses dedicated servers.

Hate to admit but its completly true, 343i are only trying to fix what Bungie messed up, I get the feeling that this game might not be recoverable.
I think in the 10 games we played in a row in the TU Beta playlist the other day, everyone either quit out, 1 or 2 players quit out or players quit before the game started.
It got pretty old, really fast. Looking at this weekly, we should be able to do it in one day LOL
