I keep encountering players that will either routinely be AFK, leave games, or Team Kill/Damage. The worst part is when they just shoot at you and the enemy team gets the kill. There’s no way to punishing them if they only shoot you until your shield-less. At the same time, if you retaliate, the game will kick you instead. They also get in the way of shots, thus getting both of you killed or adding to your betrayal count. You can’t leave either, because if you leave even a Casual game, you get timed out. WTF 343. How do you expect me to want to come back to Matchmaking if you’re lobbies are full of losers that get the game for kicks and mess around with legitimate players? Reporting players is also cumbersome as looking up recent players is impossible with Steam, because their tags are often different than Steam. So if a match passed between the TKers and the next, then you can’t look at After Carnage Report to report them. Not only that, but I’ve yet to see any reports actually amount to something. It’s frustrating to have no way to tell if the support team is actually paying attention to players’ reports.
I have experienced this way too much. Plus it’s like Hockey/Football in that the refs don’t see the initial penalty, but they always see the retaliation. I try to ignore it, or crouch walk focusing entirely on their jerk behavior towards teammates like I stream my games or something?
We asked 343 many times to implement afk detection in game and also we requested to make the game automatically kick people when they do too much damage to teammates but 343 literally didn’t do anything to fix these huge problems. The only “fix” is playing with trusted friends
Quitters especially is really bad. It feels like most of my BTB games end with more than half the players on the losing side leaving.
The game has been crashing for me and a few friends of mine to lately. I get penalized for getting kicked out of a game ffs.
