Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

So wait... does render to video only apply to Bungie Pro subscribers?
EDIT:WOOT 17 th page!

Subject: banning the quiters

Alright ive only heard from the discussion boards, but if players are getting banned for quitting games then Bungie has become corrupt with power. I love halo, it rarely ever leaves my 360s cd tray, but whats next, are u going to BAN US FOR TEABAGGING. I mean you try to play with a bunch of 4 year olds that have no skill, cant cooperate, and cant speak at a reasonable level that doesn't require me to turn my mic's volume down. I mean what if something important outside of the bungie realm happen and I have to leave.

Ex. My house is burning down and i decide to quit my game before escaping the burning building, i grab my most prized belongings (360 and games) and dash out the house just in time to watch it burn to the ground. Dont you think ive already gone through enough and shouldnt have to turn my xbox on in a motel just to find that ive been banned for quitting that game.

the update to the website is awesome, but does anyone else have a bit of an issue with the way the community files topic areas are set up. That when you click from the search area to look at a specific item, you then have to click on another link "View All Comments" just to see the description post by the creator. Then sometimes you have to click another link to get to the map variant, blah blah and so on.
Couldn't it be switched? when you get to the first page, you start with the oldest comment being displayed(usually the creators) and then click another link if you wish to see the most recent comments?

Subject: banning the quiters

Sorry for double posting, but as I posted i saw the comment above mine, i wanted to make a reply.

5. Quitting: Only in moderation
There are plenty of totally valid reasons to quit. For example, if you're on fire. Or, if your mother is on fire. Or, even if your dog is setting your mother on fire. However, these things come with statutes of limitations. For quitting, if you do it so often that we recognize it as bad behavior, you're risking the wrath of the Banhammer.


sirROBIN, you wouldn't get banned for quitting once because your house was on fire. Unless you burnt down your house multiple times, which in that case I think you have other issues to worry about, they wouldn't see anything suspicious about you quitting once. It's funny that you use an example that is very similar to theirs, but you didn't seem to read what they had to say.

Plus I think everyone at Bungie thinks that t-bagging is such a beautiful art, that they would never touch it, unless you t-bagged one of them, which in that case, your own dang fault :P.

If i were you i'd only yell corruption when they started banning people for posting "First!" on their forums, wait no.. That would be AWESOME!

Sweet Update. Thanks Shishka.

  • 10.08.2008 7:07 AM PDT

i still dont get bungies directions towards quitters.... i've quit less than 100 times in my entire year of playing halo... out of around 3,000 games...

and although i am not an avid quitter... some people simply just want to play 1 or 2 game types and have no desire for others... you force people to play certain maps and gametypes, they will inevitably quit. for the rest of halo's existance... i say either get over it guys or make a "true" optimatch system...

3. We ban for behavior, not intent.
It doesn't matter to us whether you were trying to get Alas Poor Yorick or if you were trying to get your general in DLC FFA. Boosting is not acceptable.


Sometimes I would play Avalanche and all I would do is try to get a splatter spree. I can get banned for that?

Bungie,

Stop the constant sniper starts in social and I'll stop quitting them.

Love, Player

Yeah, the whole quitting thing is kind of scaring me because I quit A LOT because I get invited to custom games A LOT while I am in matchmaking so... yeah...

sooooo, now I am afraid to go into matchmaking, fearing being banned and all that, so I am now just sticking to campaign mainly, and custom games...

sorry Shishka that I can not enjoy all of the playlist work you have done but I am now scared of you, so again sorry man...


As kindly as I can say it, that is one of the most ridiculous things you could have used to try to make them reconsider.
An average match lasts less than 10 minutes, unless your constantly playing big team. Even if you got the invite right at the beginning of the match, it is not that long a wait. Having whoever invited you wait a couple minutes is better than leaving the teammates in matchmaking you just left without one of their players.
You can still play matchmaking without worry, I don't get why you and everyone else are getting all frantic about it. Just change your behavior, STOP QUITTING AS OFTEN. It's not that difficult.

Though the idea of players like yourself no longer being in matchmaking, for the reasons of being banned, or being scared of the "big bad wolf" is kind of appealing to me.

P.S. Kaiser TheGreat: Look up the term boosting in relation to gaming. Then actually read the full paragraph on that section, you'll answer your own question.

team snipers should be a ranked playlist or at least a social

Don't quit a game you're in just to go to a custom game.
If you do go to a custom game, but find yourself quitting a lot, quit going to the custom games.
