Subject: Should there be a penalty for Quitters ???

Rice is cool when you are hungry for 2,000 of something.

I'm not even close to being the Halo Master but I am pretty sick and tired of quitters. Almost every game I have played in the last week there has been a quitter leaving their team out to dry and it's taking alot of fun out of the game.

There has to be a way to deter people from quitting.

Any suggestions ?

There IS a penalty for quitters. Quitters are given a loss and lose experience because of it.

not only are they given a loss but they also loose a ton of experience points as in if you playin 4 12's and a 3 and 2. the person that quit probably lost about a level and a half. to bad these ignorant people dont know that. also ive had network problems right in the middle of a game and it booted me from the game when everyone else thought i quit so i guess it goes both ways

the only problem with the quitting penalty is that if their team wins, they also get experience. that is not a penalty, it's a free ride.

I feel that if you quit, you should automatically place last, and always lose experience to EVERYONE that stays in. If you drop connection or lag out, it should stay the way it is

You can't tell if they drop connection or lag out.

Second, you ARE placed last, if you quit. Even if your team wins.

if your team wins you win with them, you are just last on the winning team... that still means you are ahead of the losers. And the if you quit the game asks if you really want to, thereby showing the games knows the difference between quitting and dropping connection/lagging out.

Quitters need to lose a level per drop out. Far too many times have I lost a match that could have been decided in our favor had we one more guy.

Keep deez nades out'cho mouf!!

Of course they should be penalized and i think already did a good job of handling this situation i only hope that it does actually realize when someone quit or if they're was a technical issue. I'd be pissed to be losing levels jus b/c sumthang happened to my connection. As good as tha online system is you really can't be that mad at its few flaws. We could jus be playin each otha randomly wit no ranking system and then they're would be nothin ta complain about. Be happy wit what u got.
