About 4 times out of 10 I’ll end a match where either one of the opponents leave or a teammate. Now the others are left in a predicament to where either they stay and get slaughtered (depending on game type or skill) or they leave and may get temp banned. The fact that people can’t join a game in progress is ridiculous…RIDICULOUS
.
Unfortunately that’s the nature of the beast when playing 4v4 with a non-active roster. The truth is that people who do not care about their rank and just want to have fun will quit out of games if they aren’t having fun. Simple as that. I’m not advocating that kind of behavior, but with the absence of social playlists, active roster, and game types with a population greater than 4v4, that is going to happen. If it was say, 6v6 or 8v8, you wouldn’t really be doomed to get slaughtered if one person left. Obviously it would be harder to win, but it wouldn’t be nearly as hard at 3v4 is, especially with objective gametypes like capture the flag and strongholds, where you need all of your players to be contributing. Because there is really nowhere else for these kinds of players to go in arena, the players who actually care about ranking up and playing as a team will suffer when they leave. There really is no getting around that, no matter what the quit penalty is.
Agree, 343 should remove leaving system during the gameplay
Easy solution:
make friends with more Halo 5 players
or do what I do:
after a good game, invite players (from either team) that did well to your fire team, usually they join 40% of the time
as for the other team leaving, can’t help there…
