Quit Bans are the dumbest legacy feature to include in this game and need to go

Just had my game crash in back to back ranked games and got a ban. I know others have been complaining about this as well. Why on earth is this still a thing?

Quit bans are not a thing in almost any modern FPS game, and yet this is the one legacy feature that 343 has decided to preserve from the early 2000’s. Of all the needless old school game design decisions to put into this game, quit bans are probably the dumbest.

Get rid of this 343. Or at least, if you’re going to have quit bans in the game, fix your game stability so that it doesn’t crash randomly all the time.

Modern games have solved this - you put join in progress for social games and you can allow players to re-join ranked games. Seeing quit bans in Halo Infinite is like watching someone commute to work on horseback because they didn’t realize the car had been invented.

JIP is horrendous. I do not want to play games where JIP is included because 90% of the time you’re getting steamrolled and farmed and it’s a horrible experience for everyone.

Really, I think if it’s down to a 1 v however many, that player should be given the option to invoke a “mercy rule” and end the game with a mercy loss.

I do agree that quit bans are very rough on instable servers and connections, but there need to be repercussions for serial quitters. Just play the damn game.

Personally in fine with quit bans after it get more quitter than chasers by a long shot. I’m sorry you’re crashing though.
