It occurred to me that players that are left alone, or out numbered, stay in the game out of fear of being hit with a quit punishment or ban. When the majority of a team quits, there should be a prompt that comes up to inform the player that they are allowed to quit with no penalty. If they decide to stick through the entire game, the losing team should be awarded extra XP.
I played a few games this last week where it was 4 vs 1 and 8 vs 2. I asked those players why they stuck around and their answer was because they didn’t want to get a matchmaking ban. While the rules may be clear here on Waypoint, I don’t think its clear in matchmaking. I think something should pop up so players know when it’s okay to quit. Just a thought. No one wants to endure a game where they’re outnumbered and being spawn trapped for the duration of a game.
I think that’s not a bad idea. I’m sure a lot of us have been in situations like the ones you’ve described, and I’ve seen people just follow suit or only a few that stick around. I’m sure we all hate quitters and I just let them be. Quitters gonna be quitters. Whiners gonna find things to whine about.
Personally, I stick around not because I’m afraid of any ban, but depending on the game mode, it is sorta fun playing hide and seek and like a mouse and cat.
That’s a good idea.
I’d love to see 343 try out what Destiny does with the “mercy”. If one team is dominating it will prevent farming. 9/10 times if you’re getting hammered you rarely come back and win. With Mercy being a thing it’ll make the game more enjoyable as players won’t get beaten to a pulp by an insane team and players that want to farm won’t be able to.
This is just my personal opinion.
For the time being though your idea is sound and should definitely be an implemented feature. If possible.
Yeah, I think it’s a good idea as well. It could come up as a prompt that’s similar to the boot option. Although, I’m not sure how easy it would be to implement that since I believe most games use their built-in boot prompts.
I think it’s a great idea. It’s as you say, most people who don’t frequent Waypoint wouldn’t know about it. I personally fight it out until the bitter end, but I know not everybody is like that.

It doesn’t even have to be that. Just a small message on the loading screen maybe where the tips are saying something like, “After half your team backs out, you will not be penalised for following suite.”

They managed to implement it into H5 so I can’t see it being much of a problem in MCC. It’s all those pesky blue shield 8 man teams that cause people to leave in BTB I’ve noticed haha.

Overall I like this idea. I think a small little notification pop up in the corner like the challenges progress/completion would suffice for this kind of thing so it’s not too intrusive. You don’t really want to be in the middle of a battle and two teammates quit forcing a big notification on your screen (such as the boot/forgive prompt).

True, that’s a good point. Many players would rather continue playing. Plus, it would make sense from a programming standpoint to re-use a system that’s already in place.
Well if I remember it right, you won’t get any penalties for quiting if half of your team already quit, so this is yet another case of MCC having a feature that the user might never notice or correctly understand. In fact I became aware of this mechanism only after finding myself in a 1v4 situation and the other team messaged me that it was ok if I quit. Prompting a notice on the screen would indeed be very helpful.
This a good idea, yes, but this is based on player. The game should automatically resolve the problem.
I think the objective should be reduce when there is less player. In slayer, when you are 8 vs 2, the final score to get to win should pass from 100 to 50, for example.
I personally like the idea.
Having a little notice bar, icon, or little wall of text pop up in the menu stating “you will not be penalized” would be pretty nice to have… Seems like it would be somewhat simple to implement as well and newer players and older alike can be assured that its safe to leave.
