To all those whores who sit in on a server and do not play for many games you all suck. Why dont you just quit and come back when your ready to play. Your holding up a space that someone else could be playing...Servers should start banning these people.....

I think so too unless the guy says brb then i would around 5-10 minutes if he doesnt come then banned him. The teams become so unbalanced when 2 of your team mates are no playing.

Heyyo,

most afk don't quit cause they're "scared to lose their spot in the server." boo-frikety-hoo. Should've done whatever you need to BEFORE gaming. If I know I'm gonna game ti'll 11pm? I take a bath BEFORE even starting up halo. it's not hard people.. you should try. :P

To quote MarD during a game we played once "AFK= A Free Kill" it's always funny when you get an afker on the other team yet aggervating when it's on your team... i don't really understand why some of them go afk for as long as they do... and *cowers* sorry to contradict you MarD but I have seen SEVERAL afkers in servers by themselves or with like three or four other people.. no need to really worry bout losing the spot... in face I beat the crap outta one guy who was afk for a good hour on the famous House of MO server...

Heyyo,

Heh, well one would hope you could beat the crap outta someone afk. :P

If they made the netcode right? I'd know a good way to get afker's banned for tking. Throw stickeys on them, n' get them to blow you up. Right now the game doesn't count stickies on you as you attacking someone with it. It still counts as your own nade. so if someone with a sitckey on them blows you up but he never hit you? it'll say you commited suicide.. So that sucks.. How I wish they implemented a votekick on HaloPC or CE.. The battlefield series had it, and it worked great for getting rid of those dammed afker's or annoying people as everyone would vote wether to kick the person out or not by hitting 7 for yes, and 8 for no.

lol good idea, ya like in Texas'hold em' online there's an option where if some jerk is just raising all the time if everyone on the table votes to kick him, he's gone. Like in a normal game is someone is AFK then the host can just ban him, promblem solved, but if it's a DS then unless the admin. of it happens to be there then there's going to be people just AFking away, lol, anyways they do make good target practice :)

AFK people piss me off. Especially in team slayer, absolutely unfair. It gets worse in counter-strike, though, Halo is relatively lucky in most instances.

I agrre, though. I think after 5 minutes of inactivity, maybe less depending upon the server operator's preference, a person gets booted.

Its funny when team damage is off, team mate is running back to the base with the flag, team mate dies just before he gets there, and the flag falls into the afk guy.... everyone tries to tk him to get the flag but its no use! lol.
