You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

The system still sees you as leaving the game. That is why you get the penalties.

I have -3 exp points. I have only left one game early and the other 2 times I lost power and the 3rd I lost connection with the server as did everyone else I was playing with. I understand you get the demerit if you leave early but if it is out of your control then why? It just makes it harder to advance if you go backwards.

Fan of real talk since 06.11.2008.

if you didn't lose points when that happens, people would just turn of their xbox or unplug their connection everytime they wanted to quit.

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

And regardless of "why" you are leaving, you are still leaving teammates behind. That sucks for them. Hence the penalty. Achronos has said, that you have a duty to other people when you play team-based games to have a stable connection. If it only happens once in a great while, it should make no difference. If you have already lost over 20 EXP, it's not fair to your teammates that your connection is bad.

I don't care to get back the lost exp points but I wanted to make it known that it happens. I will keep playing to get them back.
One more question. How are exp points rewarded, what is need to get them. Do you need to win a game to get one or just do well enough.

Exp, I believe is based on performance. Even though, no matter how well I do, I never seem to get Exp points if my team loses. But, if I don't do so well, but my team wins, I sometimes get Exp. If your team wins, and you do really well, you are pretty much guarenteed a point.

I play games online for fun not to preserve a K/D ratio or stats.

if you dont want exp penalties play in lone wolves

Geez, everyone in Halo 2 complained about people quitting early, now that Bungie put a system in place to get rid of quitting, everyone complains...

i know what u mean by they can just unplug their connection but think about this if they want their exp that bad then dont take it away take it away for betrayals or something or if they quit manually in the start menu

I have never quit or lagged out and i have -3. I don't really care though not a big deal. just not sure how i get negative points for playing every game.

It appears you get 1 exp for each win when in team slayer. I just play several rounds and my team won 4 times and I got 4 exp. I did well in all games so I don't think your performance is key.

So?
I have already have more than -23 penalty points and you don't see my crying about it.

I wasn't crying. I was just making it known and was asking why it happens if anyone knows. I guess no one knows and only have sarcasm.
