Just realized the ban system is very different then it was in previous games. Played three matches with friends last week and we had a horrible teammate who betrayed us constantly in a ghost. We were too busy with personal conversations, so we kind of ignored him and stayed with him for three games. Just the thing I don’t understand is not getting a prompt to boot him and match us a JiP player who will actually support his team.
That being said, I don’t understand why I wasn’t prompted to boot him, maybe 343 disabled it when they disabled friendly fire on spartans and vehicles.
Moving on to new players who don’t get very many kills…
I know of some players who literally finish the match with one kill. The game will think they are afk, and the player will not get XP from that match. This has made a lot of newcomers angry, and personally I really like the afk punishment system, but I feel like it can be better.
The ban system should monitor how much time you are spent moving, and this doesn’t account for just footsteps, but turning. I’m afraid people will lean their controllers so their spartan can endlessly turn. Plus, those players staying back with only a sniper rifle will make the game think they’re afk. I personally don’t have a solution, but it needs to be fixed.
