Why is there no reconnect button to rejoin a ranked game? Also people who leave should not be able to join another game.

Probably because it could and would be exploited.
I would like to know how you believe it could be exploited?
Having played several titles that do use this, I have never been in a position that myself nor other teammates have ever been exploited or cheated by a rejoin.
In fact, in most if not all instances of this occurring it’s usually met with words of affirmation and praise that the player was able to rejoin and participate after a crash or accidental DC. We want them back, being a man down is a hindrance.

Even in QP the only way to rejoin a dropped match is to join off of friends.
But this isn’t even the case in Ranked.
Honestly it needs to be added in. If there’s one legacy feature that needed to be left in the classic age of Halo, it’s the lack of a Rejoin feature that every single major competitive title has been offering since 2012.
This is actually a great idea as well. If I’m not mistaken, was it in Halo 5? Or am I wrong?
Not sure if it was on Halo 5. but its in every other game with a ranked mode.
I’ve heard of it being featured, is it in CS?
Yea its in CS . This feature would help with people leaving games.
Ok yeah absolutely!
Makes sense dunno why I questioned this, CS is kinda the pioneer for this stuff.
Quite simple really…if a player is having a bad KD game they can drop out, let the rest of the team carry on without the handicap and the drop out rejoins near the end to take their credit for the win.
The simplest and best method is keep it 3v4 and don’t replace with bots or other players. If it drops to 2v4 then there should be an option to concede. All quitters/disconnects should receive a scale increasing ban plus large CSR penalty.
There are no kills streaks on the map so that makes no sense as that player cant really “Feed” the other team , would always be better with an extra person vs without just for the extra body.
Disagree. I’ve played plenty of games that have reconnect options and can confirm that isn’t a thing.
On topic, it’s crazy this feature wasn’t added in the first place. They’ll likely add it in future updates.

Yeah I can see how this could present an issue, but that’s why most rejoin features have a timer tuned to the average match or round length.
A rejoin feature shouldn’t be an indefinite timeframe, but having 90-120 seconds or so to reboot a crashed game or console isn’t going to exploit anything.
Don’t rejoin within that timeframe, you’re SOL. Simple as that.
It’s really not the simplest or the best solution at all because it punishes every player who DC’s for any reason whatsoever, locks players who did DC on accident out of redeeming themselves and forces a team to compete in a now unbalanced situation.
These other titles are built with the realization that accidents are going to happen, games/consoles/internet is going to fail in some capacity, kicking players out of the ability to play the game, so there’s a limited time window back in to give players a chance to hop back in. Especially in the current state of the game treating crashes as quits is not in the least bit appropriate or fair at all.

By looking at how 343 touched the quitting issue you can clearly see their incompetence in certain aspects. May it be sinple time management to implement alternative solutions or the lack of creativity to cone up with ideas. Banning people isn’t doing -Yoink!- to prevent quits, not even talking about disconnects. A reconnect function is obe the the simplistics things one can do to make games more fair. Even rage quits can sometimes be reversed with this feature… but yeah… a overpriced shop probably had a mich higher priority.

Yeah I can see a reconnect within 2 minutes being a viable option tbh.

There definitely needs to be a rejoin match option. Overwatch has a system something like this and it works great. Just do it like that. Halo seems to borrow all these other “great” things from all these other game series, but it never seems to borrow actual GOOD features!!! Ugh!!!
The amount of disconnects that happened in this and in Halo 5, they need a rejoin rank match (nothing worse than your team losing because one of you got disconnected randomly!!!) They need a REAL in-game service record like the previous games had (I don’t want to go to some site or download an app just check my bloody stats, nor should the player have too!) And they MOST DEFINITELY need player collision back on!!! At the very least in ranked. Sorry just had to say a few things there lol
I love so much about infinite, but things like this are killing it for me. I guess I should listen to my friend who says might as well come back and check the game out in a year and see if it’s better…i think he’s right. .What a sad world we are in gaming wise 
Because 343 does not care about having a good game. They make their money in the shop, not from players actually playing the game. That’s why this “AAA 20 year Xbox anniversary flagship” game doesn’t have a fraction of basic QoL features other good games have. All the development resources were put in the cash shop. All the focus groups were on ''How much money can we charge where people will still buy these items" and not “How can the game be more enjoyable”. The same reason why the game was shipped with broken melees, broken hitreg, no forge, no customs, no co-op, broken netcode, a cut campaign: because it doesn’t affect their bottom line, it’s not related to the cash shop.
All of these factors are why only 20% of the original launch player base remains. It’s why it’s not even in the top 50 twitch most viewed games. What a depressing time to be a Halo fan.

It works without issue in plenty of other games, it’s also timer based.
