"If you have nothing to say, don't say it."

Something else: if you quit for a good reason, like going to eat or something else, would you want Bungie to punish you? It's just not reasonable to punish people who quit. And if someone quits during a ranked game, then they're punished anyway--they get less rank for the game than others.

It's a game.
Calm down sir.

No, it's not a game anymore. A game denotes an enjoyable activity.

Thanks for your (worthless) input though.


He does have a point, People quitting does not make it a game, there is nothing enjoyable about being outmanned and the other team just camping because it guarantees them a win. If you're gonna quit, get a team of quitters and quit as a team so you can derank and then leave us to an easy promotion :P , it's a good strategy

ap0klyptk, you say you don't paly for rank, but all the whining you are doing is specifically about rank. You are seriously in for an early heart attack if you keep up this tirade.

You call us whiners, yet you are the one whining. You must be like 8 years old.

Rank isn't what makes Halo fun. Remeber Halo CE? The highest selling video game of all time? Everyone LOVED Halo CE. One of the best games EVER. Guess what? No ranks.

You can't tell how good you are by rank anyway. Everyone knows the system is flawed. You can't win this argument. All you can do is cry about it like a little baby. Stop being a rank whore. Ranks is why you DON'T enjoy the game.

of course they shouldn't punish for quitting..as much as i hate it. but quitters are the main reason i don't play many big team matches anymore...i may have finished a handfull of big team games where someone didn't quit.

Apolyptik or whatever the -blam!- your name is. Get a life. How old are you? You are the most immature adult I have ever met. I think the only reason you like, is because you like to talk to little boys. I think you get so mad when people quit because you have less jack off material. -blam!- off.

Oh, so now I'm a pedarist. Original!

Because THAT'S on topic.

You're about as smart as the retard troop collecting in this thread.

If everyone can look past the insults and flaming and just stick to the actual points, then you'll find it will be easier for everybody.

The fact remains, quitters have rarely a good, legitimate reason to quit. Therefore, people who quit multiple times in one day should be punished.

And loss of rank is not a sufficient punishment. People who quit in ranked games obviously do not care for their rank. Therefore, it's pointless to decrease it.

Actually, you know what Bungie could do to solve your problem? Take away ranks all-together. No ranks means no rank whores. It means you have nothing to get so upset about.

there are good and bad results to every action if they tyake games of rank then people that play alot and are legit 45 and kids that are newer or just can't play better then legit 14 the games will become very one sided

I'm sorry for my constant posts but this is a populer thread that i came in late on so im tring to catch up

You think you have an unflawed argument? All you have given in support is saying its lame. What you have here isn't an unflawed argument, its a case of a person ignoring what everyone else has to say believe his word is the law. Why are we saying you are hostlie? Reread your posts, seriously. Everyone hates quitters, and almost everyone does a better job of dealing with it that you do.

On that note, I think I have a solution to the problem. Give each person a certain amount of quits a day. For example, a player can leave 10 games a day early. People do need to leave for legitimate reasons. After 10 quits the option to quit is no longer avaliable, if the player needs to leave he can walk away from his xbox and let his character sit there idle. At the end of the day the 'quit count' resets to 10. What do you guys think?

I like your quit count idea this would be a good soulution the problem would be if apersons conection was bad and the kept getting lagged out but at the same time if they really have that bad a router the they probly stole there xbox

I have a perfectly legit reason for quitting... because I WANT TO. YOU don't get to dictate what's "enjoyable" and what isn't. I don't play this game for rank. I play it for fun. And when I'm not having fun anymore, I quit.

Your problem is that you take it too seriously. It's a video game for Pete's sake! Your rank is meaningless for the most part anyway. If someone quits on your team, and you don't enjoy that, then QUIT YOURSELF and start a new game. Pretty simple really.
Ah, good - another idiot.

You SHOULDN'T have the luxury of playing TEAM games if you're in it for yourself. There's rumble pit and trainging games and even custom games for whiny brats who don't like a challenge.

Let me reiterate AGAIN, because people here suffer from a lack of reading comprehension -- by MAKING THE CHOICE TO PLAY TEAM GAMES YOU ARE THUS BECOMING PART OF A TEAM. A TEAM THAT RELIES ON YOU FOR YOU TO BE ACTIVE AND PARTICIPATE IN WHICH YOU SPECIFICALLY AND WILLINGLY WENT INTO.

How hard is this to understand?

Additionally - you think rank matters one iota to me then you're mistaken. The amount of TIME it takes to get into a game, have everyone load, have someone quit and have the game screwed because of it is what sucks - not the rank loss.

But then again, my time is valuable. I can see how somoene who lives in mommy's basement has the luxury to play as many games possible while screwing other people because they're selfish and spolied.

Next?


I again want to apoligize for the constant posts but the more i read this the more i agree with you apogioze what ever dude that started this in the first place the only thing rank does is put you and your opponents on a more even lvl
