While I agree quitters suck, I think AFKers are way worse. I mean at least quitters have the decency to not leave their bodies behind as a constant non-moving target.



Agreed, it's annoying not only to be a person or more down but to have them sitting there idle giving the enemy team easy kills. I was playing multi-team and ended up with two idlers which meant constant easy kills for the other teams much to my annoyance.

Hopefully now Bungie have taken on the idlers, the quitters will be next.

The Revenge/The Test
When we came across a few people that quit on us earlier and a habit quitter we decided to do a test and get some revengeon them so 7 of us hid while the other went to take on the other team 7v1 to see if 1 person could break a spawn trap.
With the rest of us hiding and them only taking on 1 person they didnt seem to quit.
Funny thing is the guy by himself broke the spawn trap and started killing them alot more than they were killing him.
Now one of them quits but the rest stayed.
Since our guy was doing well in a 7v1 situation we stayed hidden to see how this played out. Our Guy went 41 kills 4 deaths, broke a spawn trap and beat a team of 8 singlehandedly.

Thats proof that spawn traps can be broken so please people play on. Not everyone is as good as him but a whole team that stays should be able to do it or at least try and give us some competition.

Bullshot! I've sat and watched a spawntrap going with 5 on 1. It is pretty hard to break a spawntrap when you're getting banchee bombed and naded befor you can re-appear. And the spawn camping I'm talking about is the kind done by experienced players who run in big parties.

Bungie should reset everybody at Brig or higher to make people wanna play moar

The stats dont lie. Most of them were bad apart from the 2 generals.
Against an experienced team when your by yourself its basicly impossible but if a whole team of randoms all stay and work together instead of quitting it is possible to at least stop being spawn killed.

Yeah, AFKers are awesome for racking up some free kills. I hate when people quit and you have less targets, especially in rocket hog and SWAT.

Have Bungie/343i reset the rank of people who quit consistently in MM.

I'll just throw out an arbitrary number: 5 or more quits per day.

That would effect the people who play more often though.

Maybe you can only quit once about every 5-10 games.

yea that sounds good, the amount of quits your allowed before a ban depends on the amount you play and. And the if you exceed that limit then the ban goes for 30 mins or somthing

Jamage I was in a game against you the other day and me and my friend were the only ones left on our team that didn't leave or go AFK.

And if you hate being on the side with the team who is decimating try being on the side who is getting spawn camped.

How ever I still think if you can muster a whole team you do deserve an advantage, its just frustrating when paired with brain dead idiots.


I do know what thats like actually and thats why I never search BTB with less than 4 poeple.
Idk if you noticed but I am trying to argue for the people who get left in 8v2 4v1 positions and think that if they quit they shouldnt be punished but the others that quit need a harsher penalty.


Posted by: Classy Midget
Also betrayers and armorlockers are actually ruining this game!

Another 2 reasons why I play with full parties. No one purposly betrays and we usually choose assault which has no AL.


That is a very good advantage to full parties it's just I can never get 8 friends online at once, to play BTB.

1) That was on Abridged where spawn camping is not that bad and easy to break thanks to the plasma launcher/rocket.

2) It was an Inheritor

and 3) their team was Garbage.

If he broke a spawn camp against an average-good team, on Hemorrhage consisting of say two wraiths, a few snipers, some warthogs and revenant then I would give him a cookie.

1: Actually abridged is quite good for spawn camping and teams have a hard time once we have pushed forward. Sniper picks off guy who picks up sticky launcher or rockets and it easy. I got an Invinceible and wrecking crew on foot.

2: Rank doesnt mean everything (I know a -k/d Inheritor).
Our guy is very good though.

3: They wernt great but they did have 2 generals that are both positive.


Winning 8v1 on any map deserves more than a cookie.

I usually quit when somebody quits in my team (unless it's BTB).
As easy as that.
Anyway, I prefer Rumble Pit - no teammates at all.

So your kind of a secondary quitter, not the main problem but this is still not helping the situation.

I used to LOVE action sack before they ruined it. I dont play it anymore and thats the 1 playlist I dont blame people for quitting I blame bungie for allowing such horrible gametypes.
Who actually likes Dino Blasters ffs.

I dont remmeber ever mentioning my rank/stats or my teammates rank/stats. I have said we usually dominate as thats a good part of the quitting problem.

This was an entertaining read and a perfect example of people taking a VIDEO GAME too seriously. People discuss these things as though they are genuine political issues. Then again I am just a twenty year old who could not possibly know what I am talking about :)

They should have made it so once you're in a game, if you quit/dashboard you're not allowed into matchmaking until the match you left is over.

You never ask or think why do they quit. Maybe it's the reputation full teams have in BTB. Holding the objective and spawn camping isn't fun for the other team and is very unsporting and because of teams that do this the full teams in BTB have a reputation for doing so whether they do or not. Hence people quit because they don't want to be subject to that.

Whether you do or do not objective hold/spawn kill isn't what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that teams now have a stigma attached to them. That is that they all spawn camp/objective hold because some teams that do.

I find it kind of amusing and ironic that you a member of a full team are complaining about people quitting. I remember back in Halo 3 when the subject of objective holding/spawn camping was brought up. The advice teams like yours gave to the randoms was "If you don't like it, quit.".
So here we are in Halo Reach and teams like you and others are complaining about your opposition quitting? Why are you complaining, after all it's the advice teams like yours gave time and time again to people subject to objective holding and spawn camping.

Maybe if you don't want people quitting every game and spoiling your idea of fun, then maybe you should decide here and now to mature, grow up, be more sporting and change that stigma that comes with being part of a BTB full team.

My eyes grow tired of trying to focus...

The quitting has been getting worse lately. Seems like every.single.game has at least 1 quitter. Often the reason is as trivial as not getting the map they wanted. 1 quit should be a 15 minute ban each time. I realize sometimes there are emergencies or connection issues but odds are if you're internet takes a dip or you gotta run to the hospital, you won't mind a 15 min ban.
