why would anyone play the campaign over and over and over and over. you cant earn many credits from campaign, and you need credits to rank up and get armor.



Don't need to rank up to play a game.

But you do get bored of playing the same missions over and over again

It's funny, every ban system complain thread is made by someone who got reset.


Really? Because I've only gotten temporarily banned for quitting, but oh I guess 1v4 when my whole team leaves me just makes Bungie obligated to ban me one way or another. Yeah, makes *perfect* sense... about to return this game. Been here since Halo 1 and quite frankly, Reach and it's community are really pissing me off. I rest my case.

Might I add that out of almost 500 games of dedicated Reach-play alone, I've only dropped out of 5 matches. Now I get temporarily banned for any DNF, no matter the circumstances. Ridiculous.

  • 09.06.2011 10:17 AM PDT

The quiting and beteryal booting are stupid yes, and could do with being removed, but it's an ecouragement to stay in the game and work together(ish).

As for the AFK'ers and Challenge reseters they deserve to be temporarily suspended from gameplay for exploiting ingame issues; that's my view and I'm pretty sure quite a few people would agree with it?

  • 09.06.2011 10:24 AM PDT

I'm fine with the ban system right now, until they allow drop in/out of games in progress of friends or something.

If they added dropping in and out of games, I'd say they need to do away with the whole ban system altogether.

  • 09.06.2011 10:25 AM PDT

Ooooo 1v4 fun!!! Now that's a good game! It happens. Why cry about your team leaving? Makes for a fun game of screw with your opponent! Make em hunt for ya! They tend to get bored and mess around with each other. Best way to get kills on em too. Less teammates to die too. I say let em quit! When you have 4 jerks that stick close it makes for easy kills. Heck all you need is 2 kills, they only get 1. Once your ahead hide!

Guess I'm no genius either...

Spell checkers in forums are such pricks though, lol.

And this doesn't justify jgraves1107's dumbass suggestion.

I might sound kinda dumb. But, I always felt like joining at the start of the game was just a Halo trait. Not better, or worse. Just different. In exchange for not getting new teammates, you don't join halfway through games you can't win, or make it more difficult a get a challenge that way.
It's kind of like, you always get the same chance to have a good game. The only variable is the people.

  • 09.17.2011 12:56 AM PDT

I freaking sick of the game ending early for no reason. It says everyone else quit and you're the last one (which obviously is some weird disconnect issue). I get a game finishing bonus, but it counts as me quitting! I mean what the freak!? I am tired of getting banned for not quitting....

I'm sorry but, "the people" are the most UNreliable variable there is...

I have yet to play a BTB match where someone DOESN'T quit!!!

Ban threats are not gonna stop people from quitting. The point that bungie never realized (cause they're so freaking stupid) is that YOU CANNOT STOP PEOPLE FROM QUITTING!!!

So instead, u should have a system in place to account for the quitting. So that when people quit (and they WILL!), they are replaced by other gamers, and the match continues on...

Don't try to tell me about how a drop-out, drop-in system will lag up the matches, or cause people to enter matches on the losing team, or cause people to enter into matches that have 5 seconds left. I get multiple long-ass black-screens every BTB match I play (and it's NOT my connection). If people quit you have just as much chance of landing on the losing team as if joining with a drop-in system. And if u join at the end of a match, who cares?!! It does NOT count as a win or loss, and u just wait for the next match to start up.

This is very well thought out.

We can only hope 343 will pay attention and fix this game.

  • 09.30.2011 1:25 PM PDT

Flash Kicks beat Armor Lock.

TheLab.

Halo with dedicated servers and thus drop-in/out gameplay would give me a reason to consider playing it again.

  • 09.30.2011 1:44 PM PDT

It's Bungie's rules, you have no right to argue with them, as stupid as the rules may be.

  • 09.30.2011 1:58 PM PDT

The only rule i disagree with is the quit probation which is just plain stupid when it pops up in the middle of the game.

  • 09.30.2011 2:05 PM PDT

BOXER, DEFAULT, NOT INVERTED, 5 (MEDIUM), DISABLED CENTERING, TOGGLE CROUCH AND DISABLED CLENCH PROTECTION. Self Control.

When does it do that? I've been quit banned before, never seen that. Really don't mind the quit ban, but I hate that nothing has been done about the reasons why I quit. If I have a score of 20 and my team mates all have zero... duh, I will leave. Solution? I have no clue, how do you top trueskill? But if I could be matched with like players where my team only loses by small margins... then I'd be happy.

I am all for actions that address the reasons why people quit/boost/etc. (Rant mode on) Also, I betrayed once and got booted. Yet in a separate match I get betrayed twice by the same person carrying the same rocket launcher twice, ant the option to boot didn't even come up? Lame. ( I still wouldn't have booted him because he clearly was trying to shoot the enemy, but lame because I already killed said enemy before he let loose the rocket)

Excuse me? I absolutely DO have the right to argue with them.

  • 10.01.2011 1:43 AM PDT

Death to rank junkies.

There is no reason for friendly fire. EVER.

That would also fix the crappy boot system. There wouldn't be incidents of someone being booted by idiots for accidental betrayals, and idiots couldn't go on betrayal sprees and boot those who retaliate.

Simple solution: no friendly fire.

Otherwise you will get too many "maybes" and there is no way to implement protocols to control them all.

-Maybe the betrayal was an accident.
-Maybe the betrayal was on purpose.
-Maybe he purposely jumped in front of your wraith so that you would betray him by accident so he can boot you.
-Maybe he wants to leave the match without hitting the quit button so he betrays you.
-Maybe he wants to try to get you to betray him by harassing you by stripping your shield and following you around until you get so pissed that you betray him and you get booted.
-Maybe he wants you dead so he waits until the enemy stripped your health so that he can run you over and it still says the enemy killed you
-Maybe he want to help the enemies out by stripping you down until you're a one-shot so the enemy can just pick u off
-Maybe he would rather be the one to score the last flag so he betrays you and scores the last flag right at the last second so that the game ends before the boot option has a chance to pop up.
-Maybe he noticed that you haven't died yet and you're on a running riot so he betrays you so that you can't get your perfection medal.

-MAYBE there shouldn't be any friendly fire!!!

F U bungie.

P.S. I don't wanna hear about friendly fire making the game more realistic. You fighting freaking aliens!!! So go F urselves
