How is this not getting addressed? What is the actual punishment for quitting? Kinda makes playing ranked kinda pointless. How about we put labels on the repeat offenders or something? Whatever they are doing is not enough. I shouldn’t be starting a ranked match with 3 players. Did somebody quit on load or their matchmaking broken?

Halo Infinite is so unstable, I crash randomly for seemingly no reason at all, every time I play. I followed all the tips sites recommend to lessen the amount of crashes, but it still happens. You might also get stuck in a loading screen, or if playing in a fireteam, you might get left behind in the menu instead of joining the match with your friend. Not everyone quits, and probably most people aren’t trying to or don’t want to. I hate crashing or freezing when I’m winning. It’s just the game sucking and people are sick of being temporarily banned for quitting when they didn’t even quit. You also lose progress in Ranked for repeated quitting, even if you’re not doing it, and the game is just being unstable.

I never had a problem with freezing or connection issues besides in the menu once in awhile but I understand what you are saying. If that is the case, just have the match end. My last match had literally a 3 player roster on my team and other two teammates ended up leaving. I stuck around and got a few kills but there was no chance of me winning.
You get a ban for quitting ranked and that ban gets longer the more you do it. The problem is that quitbans don’t make people want to play the match, so it dont keep them from quitting.
And ofcourse, there are still also much crashes.
I think a label for profiles would remedy some of it with people so worried about rank and cosmetics. Heck! Put something funny on their armor that they can’t remove like a box of tissues or something lol
Well Xbox Live had karma for people known to cheat and play bad in pvp, so I guess Ranked karma wouldn’t be impossible to add. That won’t be even considerable for a few years until Halo Infinite plays without high ping, lag, freezing, crashing, bad netcode, and a joke of hit registration. Once the game is MCC stable, I wouldn’t say no to shaming cheaters and quitters.

MCC was/is not even stable. People are crashing and get fatal errors on that too.
You’re not wrong. I still crash playing Halo 4 multiplayer occasionally and get bans, and it suuuccks. It’s just significantly less frequent than Infinite.
I got banned at first but I think they lightened the sentences because a dropped game can be a server issue and being banned for that is insanity. I was banned for 2 hours once because the servers kept dropping out. I think if you literally go into the menu and abandon the game it will ban you. but, if your game just crashes because of a server issue then its like a point system where you need way more strikes. My game hasn’t literally just crashed since the actual launch date “fingers crossed” lol. so im sure they are still trying to balance all of it.
Must be nice. I’m lucky to go a day without it. The HCS livestream tournament was ruined by constant crashes. It’s supposedly the most stable on Xbox Series X. On PC, you could have a $5000 rig and it runs like you’re using a Dell Windows XP laptop.
That is true. And the MCC ranked is also awfull pingwise. I as European player were always forced to play on US servers if i wanted to do a ranked match (for the challenges).
That’s also a strong point there. The lack of global servers is pathetic. I feel bad for people outside of the US, with 200 ms ping. I play late at night in the US and I get dragged into 200 ms unstable jitter latency games with Russians and Australians. I know damn well Microsoft can afford to fork over some money for strong global servers. If they’re using their Azure servers, they aren’t doing the job.
The game is performing very well for me on a Series S too
That doesn’t make much of any sense to me. Just sounds like incompetence or lack of the ability to run a pc. Xbox has built in rendering technology so you don’t have to find a physical refresh rate ect. Which is why most pc players are crashing because they are assuming their top tier cards are all it takes to keep the game running.
you get a temp ban after a few leaves. the longer the ban with the more you leave, like MCC.
that being said… it clearly isn’t either working or is obvious enough. people either leaving because eff this match, or because of connections errors or game crash
but that also being said… it does work, punishing the wrong folk. the game cannot tell if you lost connection or crashed, so it just assumes you left and again, temp bans you
for example to unlock the maximum refresh rate the game needs to know the minimum physical refresh rate of your monitor to scale it from. If you just up and OFF the resolution scale and try unlocking the maximum refresh rate your going to find a bottleneck whether you have a 12th gen processor and a 30 series card or not.
thus knocking out the rest of the players in the server and crashes the BTB entirely. for the most part. lol. In the simpliest of ways to put it.
In all likelihood this has more to do with Matchmaking/Population rather than servers. Being in europe I get most of my matches with a 40ms or 32 ms ping (likely to be the North Europe and West Europe Azure Data Centers). Then I have the occasional game at 200 ms (likely one in the US).
So I don’t think it’s them skimping on infrastructure. It’s being matchmade with people from all over the world (likely in order to keep wait times down) that’s the issue here.
How can you not rage quit though. You know how many times I’ve smacked a dude in the back and he’s not went down? Or your losing a match because everyone is trying to do these stupid f$&@ing weekly quest. They need to fix their game.

It is absolutely stupid to have a ban for quitting especially with the join in progress system and Bots fill the empty slots until someone joins in. Why should we be punished because developers suck at implementing Superior systems? Why can’t we play exactly what we want to play? Why should we be forced to stay in a game where your teammates are betraying us? Why should poor people be banned just because they can’t get good internet? Disgusting and senseless.
