Heyyo,
I'm gonna try sending the product feedback once a day, until changes are made. I'm including my e-mail each time to let them know I ain't gonna stop anytime soon. ;)
I re-worded the 2 parts there angel, I'll explain why too:
* Add an inactivity kick (Away From Keyboard, AFK) option for servers
* Improve the auto teamkilling bancode, so players cannot simply exploit and reset their team kills by leaving and rejoining the server. Add an option to forgive teamkills after a certain period of time of no teamkilling (default should be 1 hour).
For the AFK kick? it should be more than for dedicated servers, cause if I'm hosting a listenserver I'd be annoying if I had to manually boot them myself.
For the auto tking bancode? well you have to be more precise than bancode, and m$ hates the word exploit, to them exploits mean a hotfix. so we must scare them into fixing HaloPC. Plus giving them an idea should help them think it's within an acceptable time of work.. and not take forever to fix. ;)
so the new setup I'm sending?:

Ok, now, once you click on the link above, uner "Products", select "Games - Other".
Checkmark the boxes that you deem appropriate for what you suggest. For the suggestions I have below, I suggest checkmarking these boxes:
Preformance.
Networking or Connectivity
Customization of Preferences
Interoperability or Integration
Security
I say mention these statements:
These fixes should be implemented for HaloPC patch v1.07
* Fix map exploitations on Danger Canyon's base's back walls by separating them more, or adding an invisible blocking barrier between the back walls
* Fix map exploitations on Timberland's outer area by either making the outer area a fall-thru ground, or by adding 2 sets of invisible blocking barriers to trap players trying to exploit the map.
* Fix map exploitation on Infinity to get ontop of level by using a banshee to leap out and croutch to launch yourself through the invisible blocking barriers. This fix can be done by making the top of the level's ground fall-thru, or more invisible blocking barriers.
* Make weapon balance better by lowering rate of fire on fuel rod and make it do less damage.
* Make weapon balance better by lowering damage of fuel rods attached to banshees.
* Improve video optimizations more by better level geometry optimizations and particle effects optimizations.
* Fix crashing errors on map change that have reappeared in patch v1.06.
* If possible, improve netcode for less warping by improving the client side prediction, and fix the improved chance of warping errors that HaloPC patch v1.06 caused.
* Change gamemode "race" default settings to "cumulative" scoring, and 15 laps total.
* Fix msxmenu text system bug where if you alt-tab out of HaloPC, and return to HaloPC the text messes up.
* If possible improve netcode by implementing Gearbox's netcode fixes for HaloCE onto HaloPC.
* Keep track of Macsoft's progress on Patches since Halo for mac patch v1.06 still hasn't been released.
* Add an inactivity kick (Away From Keyboard, AFK) option for servers.
* Improve the auto teamkilling bancode, so players cannot simply exploit and reset their team kills by leaving and rejoining the server. Add an option to forgive teamkills after a certain period of time of no teamkilling (default should be 1 hour).
