There is basicly no punishment for quitting multiplayer games (wow 15 minutes is nothing) and they constantly ruin my games, my teammates games and the games of the people left on the other team and thats alot of people as I usually play BTB with a full party of 8 high ranked players. We destroy and they always quit.

How original ... another rage post about quitters by someone who QUITS themselves.

"We destroy and they always quit" - LOL, except sometimes its the other way around :)
Gotta love the bungie game search api.

In Soviet Russia you pilot many flying vehicles while Nikolai embarks on crazy journey of revenge filled with movie references....

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.
No, that means the other team was just [shit]. If even three of them were against him (3v1) they should win, not because they're better than him, or because he might suck, but because if every shot hits him he won't even have time to get off the number of shots it takes to kill 1 person. My guess is they ran around searching for him, so it ended up being a whole bunch of 1v1s, and that team was completely terrible so he won a lot of the 1v1s. Or they all have the accuracy of a two year old and that was that.

And its not much of a spawn trap if the map is Abridged.

A bonus for finishing 10 games in a row or something could also work.

Register at your local Vault Tec office today! The world might not be there tomorrow...

I can agree that quitters in Halo are ruining the experience. I can also agree that a stiffer punishment should be applied. However, from Bungie's perspective, this is only going to hurt the amount of overall players enjoying the game they worked so hard to make. What really needs to be looked into are the factors that drive people to want to quit. I play tons of Invasion and generally have members of the other team quit 97% of the time, so I will use what I have gleaned off of my experiences.

Reasons People Quit Matchmade Games in Invasion:

1. The opposing team is far better than they are.
2. The opposing team has high ranks.
3. The game latency is high. (crappy host)
4. They are embarrassed/frustrated. (many quit after assassination)
5. They are being spawn camped.
6. Their team mates lack a significant amount of skill.
7. Load Fail.
8. Not the map they want.
9. Not the gametype they want.
10. Playing on a team of partychat or no-mics.
11. Betrayers.
12. Booting for betraying.
13. Not completing Phase One.
14. Opposing team completes Phase One.
15. Enemy steals power weapons.
16. High rank players refuse to do anything but sit back and get kills while you try for the objective.
17. Friendly fire destroys your vehicle because your team doesn't realize you were in it.
18. AFK team mates.
and many many more...

Let's face it though, nobody can fix all of these things. While I hate it when people quit, my team and the opposing team, the option still needs to be there. I'd rather they be gone than idle or betray. Let's face it, if they aren't having fun... they'll more than likely make sure you aren't either.

  • 07.03.2011 9:21 PM PDT

When my teammates quit, I see it as an opportunity, not a loss.
Big Team Battle: 1 vs 8. Now it's a fair fight. Bring it

  • 07.03.2011 10:39 PM PDT

i just use the AFK'ers as bait. Let the enemy approach from behind, thinking they'll get an easy assassination. Then boom, pull off the sick Showstopper.

make a quit ban an hour...


No. If anything the quit ban should be removed.

Despotic game design rarely measures out fair justice. Bungie's only concern is reinforcing their own power base (the success of Reach measured in how many people are playing it) so the only deviants they will punish are those that choose not to play the game.

AFK, credit boosters, quitting, anything that allows you to spend less time with the game than you would do so normally earns you a corrective slap on the wrist. And all the while, being the biggest sniper-whoring douche imaginable in BTB is a perfectly legitimate way to play the game, even though it's a far worse thing for how able the other players in game are to enjoy that game, simply because it doesn't directly impact Reach's standing on Major Nelson's leaderboards (indirectly, sure, but bungie's not one to appreciate subtlety.)

It's just what inevitably happens when someone with power looses connection with those that power is applied to. All they see is their own goals and obstacles to those goals (Reach's population), and regardless of how those relate to the "common gamer" (which they themselves can no longer relate to; see how Bungie usually refers to us as "the kids" in the podcasts) they'll act only to reach/remove them, respectively, not knowing any other course of action.

I shouldn't have to sit through a game of spawn-and-get-killed-almost-instantly if I don't want to. I do have rights. I'm a human. It's called free will. If i want to quit, I'm going to quit, and there's nothing they can do to stop me. I want the quit ban removed because it is wrong, not just because i don't like it.


I mean what's next? Getting suspended from matchmaking if over half your kills are from long range because they want you to melee more?

They'll start using the excuse. "Well since the other person doesn't have very good aim at long range we want you to get closer to them so they can kill you easier. It's ruing their experience because they cant kill you because you were smart enough to stay away from them, so we want you to ruin your experience to make some kid on the other end of the screen feel better."

I should be able to quit whenever the -blam!- I want. I refuse to be FORCED to get my ass reamed when the rest of my team either sucks completely or leaves. Honestly, yeah. I quit a lot, but it's because I'm always on the losing team. I'm always on top pulling the team trough and doing all the work. You say you want it to be fun for us. Well getting my ass plowed by two field marshalls, a hero and a mythic is not fun. The matchmaking system is so unfair it's not even funny. Even when the "Skill" filter is on I find myself getting destroyed by people that are higher levels... And I go to quit, only to find myself banned for 10 minutes. I'm not just gonna sit there and be a sandbag for them to blow their load on. I'm gonna quit, and a quit ban isn't going to stop me. It's just an annoyance.

The fact that they say "Quitting games disrupts the experience of other gamers." makes me grit my teeth. Its BS. What about MY experience?!? shouldn't I be able to choose how I play? It's my game and I payed for it. And getting spawn raped sure as hell doesn't ruin other people's experiences, it helps them AT MY expense, so why would they be surprised when I quit? They shouldn't be. Because in any other game it is a normal occurrence. Point and fact: staying in games I don't like is ruining MY experience, yet Bungie says the want their players to have the best experience, but they also decide to tell me what a good experience is instead of letting me choose on my own. It's backwards and crooked and manipulative. It's wrong.


If Bungie was any kind of smart they would have never added the quit ban in the first place. It would have been a whole lot smarter to just add the "Drop in, Drop out" system that is seen in almost every other shooter (PC, Console, or otherwise).

And do they truly have the right to ban me? I haven't broken any rules. I'm not manipulating the system nor am I causing anyone financial/property damage. I may cause other players to be at an inconvenience, but there is no true harm done to them. (And, if the above system had been implemented, it wouldn't have been a problem in the first place) Yes, I agreed to the terms of use when I signed up, But do they by law have the right to ban me from a service that I payed for and that I have done no harm to? Is it legal to ban someone for technically doing nothing wrong?

I think not.

If you only care about your own experience and not your anyone else then dont play in team games play rumble pit or score attack (where quitting doesnt matter and you shouldnt be punished). If you choose to join a team you should have to see it through till the end or face the penalties which atm are not good enough.

One person I knew got banned from MM for 2 hours after constant d/cs. So what's this about always getting 15 minutes?

Causing mischief from the shadows

Haha, Jake da Muss went negative, probably quit cause he didn't get the tank.

But seriously though, if you're gonna hold the objective and spawn kill and not really play according to the spirit of the game don't be upset if people quit. I play with most of the players in that game you linked and no one really complains too much about quitters.

DUH ... api brings make matching results in a non sorted sequence. Most RSS or webfeeds work this way moron, but dont expect you to even start to understand this - LOL.

And how come YOU can get "lagged out" but when it happens to others YOU KNOWN that they quit?

Learn to cope like the rest of us.
Not like you loose out, there are as many games you benefit from as those you loose out from (in fact you seem to benefit more than loose) ... so yeah, annoying but so are you :)
