quiters

stop quitting! 343 what on earth are you doing??? how can so many people be quiting??? every game in which my team goes 5 or 10 down someone quits.

effing disgrace

Yeah it seems since they added the update to punish the first person who quits, people quit more frequently. Not much 343 can do except maybe put people into the same game they quit if they try to queue up in MM again.

I haven’t had nearly the problems I had before the change in quit bans for ranked. Players are quitting less in the TA games I’ve been running. And to clarify they aren’t “punishing” the first person who quits, but giving the option for the other players on the losing team to quit without jeopardy of a quit ban. It’s a nice and welcome change.

Quitters should be punished for the same amout of time the match lasts each and every time

They’re punishing the first person because they will lose more CSR/Rank than anyone else who quits after and yeah there isn’t a quit ban for those who leave after the first person. So yeah they’re still punishing that first person who quits but I don’t think it is doing much of anything. At least IMO.

If someone is quitting when your team starts losing, then that’s more of a teammate problem rather than a 343 issue. I do think it is an issue though, but I don’t think quitting will ever be solved.

I agree

That would be a terrible solution. So instead of players quitting after X amount of players on their team leave, you get a temp ban for not wanting to 2v5 or whatever. Then, instead of players quitting, people don’t play at all and the game dies. Good solution.

Quitting may never be solved, but now, at least I don’t have to worry about staying in a game when players have left. Yes, it may be an issue with the team, but there still should be, especially in ranked, consequences for cutting out when things are down. I been in a lot if close games recently. Whatever they’ve done in the past few months seems to be working for me anyway.

Simply in space of 1 week:
person quits once - 1 day ban
person quits twice - week ban
person quits 3 times - month ban

If 1 person quits on your team before 20 kill mark, you dont lose your rank.

If 2 or morpeople quit before 20 kill mark there should be a free forfeit option with no consequences for losing team.

Please implement :slight_smile:

Now you just killed your population. Congrats.

For your other suggestions, there has to be consequences for everyone or else the system will just be abused.

As for population, i dont think it will be an issue because people who want to play will stop quitting. The people who carry on quitting… We dont need than anyway.

As for consequences for everyone, i dont see how many people will abuse it. What exactly do you mean?

The current system we have now I like. Where the fist person that quits gets the hammer after doing so. Or at least in time it will catch up with them. Giving others the option to quit out of a game after someone else already has with out penalty is a good thing. Your not going to get rid of quitters. Even though I wish we could! lol…

The new system is good but there are still many improvement (simple ones!) To be made. For example the ones i gave in comment above. Also, you shouldnt lose rank if someone on your team quits or lags out before the, say, 30 kill mark.

People don’t quit just because they’re losing. There can be a variety of issues like unannounced real life stuff can come up or they may get disconnected unintentionally. It’s also off-putting. I don’t think people want to play with the risk of being banned for a long period of time looming over their heads if they unintentionally quit or if they’re now stuck getting destroyed in some ridiculous 20 minute farming game for example. “We don’t need them.” Well have fun when you can’t find a game because no one is playing it.

Parties can run with a smurf account(s) and have them quit when they face a team that’s better than them. Now they’ll never lose their rank.

So those people get a day ban… I would be cool if that happened to me once in a blue moon… Or probably never.

I wanna make sure i inderstand it right. You run a smurf account… presumably someone is playing because otherwise youre down a player by definition. That person quits whenever you lose by a large amount of kills. Is that the idea? Cant see many people doing that. Especially if that account gets banned for a day immediately.

OK, just gonna say this as an addendum: You do realize that all quitting isn’t intentional, right? Some people don’t quit because they’re losing and they want to be a -Yoink-hole. These guys do it because something IRL came up that interrupts their gameplay. For example, someone might experience such things as blackouts, emergencies, phone calls, and other things beyond their control. You can’t prevent life stuff from interferring. Just wanted to put this out there.

Yes, actually, we do.

Yeah, they get a day ban, but now the next ban is a week and the next one is a month. Have you seen the ban thread? Some people get disconnected frequently. I know if I was at risk getting a week or longer ban I wouldn’t even bother with this game anymore.

Yes, the account gets banned and then they make a new one that same day for free. Or, the people in the party take turns making one in an endless cycle because you can make numerous accounts on one gold account.

Yeah actually you do need them, as people complain about not finding matches, it’s not because of a lack of servers, it’s because of a lack of players, a LOT of people, myself included have grown to despise Halo 5 in all aspects, however I can respect the Halo 5 fans for what they like, but keep in mind Halo 5’s already small population will shrink significantly once Halo 3, ODST, and 4 have become playable on the Xbox One. Just keep in mind that after that happens, quitters in Halo 5 may be the best you’ll be able to get.
