Just played 4 games of the HCS playlist. 3 of those games people quit out. This isn’t just today, its been happening a lot more since the soft forfeit. They need to just punish those who quit (ban them from ranked for 30 min/hour/etc.) and allow the rest of the losing team to not lose much CSR because I’m so sick and tired of playing this game and not able to rank up because of things out of my control.
Honestly I don’t think this would work out. Sure, it’s annoying, but the likelihood of you running into those same players isn’t very high compared to all the people that actually are active in Halo. By the time you meet these people again, you would have been through some many people that irritate you.
IMO, REQ point deduction from quitting games. Stacks up 3 times -200 REQ points and then maybe a 30 min ban, but otherwise… Idk.
HCS seems to be the worst, but bans don’t stop quitters. Quitters have already decided they don’t want to play. Telling them they can’t play is like firing someone after they’ve quit their job.
I would like them to make it so you can’t join a game until the game you quit finishes. Also I want quit rate factored into the matchmaking… Quitters play with quitters. Also put orange cones on quitters heads as public shaming.
You know between players quitting or getting disconnected the numbers seem very high. I just don’t think much more will be done in this game until they can tell the difference between the two… And from what has been mentioned in the match making feed back section I’m not sure we will see any fix anytime soon if at all for this game. They say promising words but that’s about all the farther it gets.

Haha. These are great ideas! The cone one has already been implemented, though. You just have to look at the person’s gamercard.
There isn’t any point in staying in a game that’s 3v4 or 2v4 or 1v4 anyways it’s just wasting your own time and the other teams time if somebody quits before anyone else does it’s not a soft quit penalty they do get banned and lose a lot of rank it’s perfectly fine the way it is honestly. If somebody quits no point in wasting yours or other teams time by staying, it’s not like it’s soft quit for the first person who leaves.
Quitting has always been a big problem, it just seems worse now with soft forfeit. Before this people would have to stick out a losing 3v4 or worse in order to avoid a ban. Now as soon as one person quits everyone bails. The old way and the new way both suck. The soft forfeit has really accentuated the problem and made half of the population look like a bunch of quitting losers, but I actually think some of the complainers are to4s who used to enjoy statting in those unbalanced matches. Aside from players with poor attitudes a lot of the blame goes to lousy servers, poor choice of play lists and bad matchmaking. Then you discover that 343 and Microsoft really are not serious about punishing the quitters and trolls in the game. Every step they take seems to be aimed at pushing out dedicated solo players. Those are the reasons I don’t play much any more.
There are people who quit because they lost their first skirmish. There are people who quit as soon as they realize their team is not made up of winners. There are people who quit because they didn’t get the power weapon in the first grab. You seem to think that situations like these account for all quitters. I see a million other reasons, and I have a million other reasons for myself. I don’t know how many of them you would consider legit, if any, but the long and short is that there are more and more people every day who are willing to walk away from matches that have somehow failed to live up to their end of the player/game contract. An argument could be made that these people, people such as myself, should just stop playing Halo if it fails to satisfy, but I feel like walking away does not do any service to the franchise - staying and protesting (whatever form that protest may take) may do a service to the franchise. In an anti-social, seemingly unconstructive way.
I’m sure none of that makes you feel any better, but if you insist on matching with randoms then you’re going to square off with and against some people who bring a different mindset to Halo and to competition in general. They instituted Spartan Companies for a reason. You should consider availing yourself of the option.
