this still needs to be longer

Is that what your 12yo girlfriend told you?

But back OT ... why is this thread still going.
Not like the game is going to change, all those crying over a few people quitting need to grow a pair and STFU.
The crying has grown old and tired.

cause it needs to be longer

but we already established whay ur g/friend told you!!

You telling us that you NEVER quit a game?
And why is a mere game SOOOO important in your life.


no it just needs to be longer, get over it.

I would love a system where you "pay" cR to quit out - If you dashboard, and then load up Reach and it detects that you dashboarded, you'll be charged twice the usual.

That is, lifetime cR. If you dashboard, you'll lose some 1k cR or more off of your rank. If you lose enough cR, you derank.

The thing is though, cR rank means nothing. I don't mean that in terms of " OMG IM A 50! I"M PRO!".

I mean in terms of who you play against. Face it. The most competitive playlist in Reach is MLG. So, why can someone like me (Not saying I am an MLG PRO) play against people who are, well, retarded? Its not fun for anyone! There is no point in trying to improve.

cR and this ranking system-Arena included- pretty much took all the fun out of Halo for me. It's not about being a 50 or anything. It was about playing people who were as good as you. For someone like me, It was awesome playing people who could beat me. It was a challange. Reach has become so -blam!- boring in MM. Make it so I have to play people my level. Not a guy with 3 guests.

Derankers

Host Booters
Lag Switchers

I remember quite a few people quitting on me in Halo 3 ranked.

Lets bring all these back or make them alot worse.

Just as an example for non-believers... In a game against some of your friends, (can't remember if you were there or not, the only names that stick in my mind are JULIA GILLARD and that red menace dude...
Anyway, big team slayer on Paradiso, only me and some other guy left, he goes for one last sprint before quitting, I break the spawn trap and kill two guys before getting sent back in. Later that game I broke it again by myself and, via strategic use of the terrain, got two assassinations and a headshot before being killed once again.

This just goes to show, it's not impossible, I'm not that good a player, but I play smart. I won't lie, that match was terrible, but I had fun all the same.

Kudos to you Jamage, I wish I had a good team to play with... Or at least one that won't quit out on me when the going gets tough.

edit: I played against JULIA GILLARD a lot that day, he may not have actually been in that particular match.

I never really played with the old or new Julia Gillard (gamertag change). The original was OK for someone who uses AL but the new Gillard sucks and I dubt ill ever be playing with him/her. I do play with The Red Menace though.

Well at least you had fun where most others would be raging.

  • 12.15.2011 5:52 PM PDT

It's people like you who ruin my games. I don't blame them for quitting. I don't even blame you for going in with 8 high-ranked players and thinking all the randoms on the other team should just stay and let you -blam!- them. I blame Bungie and 343 for giving you the ability to.

They call me The Raptor due to my extreme interest in dinosaurs specifically velociraptor.

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. Games turn into hide and seek and chasey with 8 on 2 which ruins our game and the poor bastards that dont quit. Not as bad if its flag or bomb as we can end it quickly but games of slayer when we have like 30 kills, 10 minutes left and 2 people who wont quit no matter how bad we spawn kill them. This is not fun for us or them. Please increase the punishment for habitual quitters as its ruining hundreds of games for thousand of players, probly alot more than afking.

Quitters are a problem in every team playlist not just btb and not just against full parties.


Afk'ing is NOT ruining my game and if it was its Bungies own fault for rewarding people doing nothing.
More kills and credits for me, a distraction for my enemies/ someone else for them to go after.

I dont like them earning free credits but thats the systems fault for allowing that.

Something I posted in another thread: Bungie knowingly pay their gamers credits for doing nothing and even promote them then after 8 months decide they didnt like paying them for nothing so they demote you back to a nobody, take any money you earned (even the money earned for many hours of working), anything you bought with the money and say you can work but wont get any credits for 2 weeks.



Edit 1: Examples
It seems to be getting worse. Here's just a couple of examples from the last couple of hours:
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=62625 3893&player=Jamage007
They all quit within a couple of minutes.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=62630 1274&player=Jamage007
They quit 1 by 1 until there was only 1 guy left and it was slayer so we all had to kill 1 guy until the game was over.


Edit 2: 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.

TLDR: MM quitters are ruinng my game not FF afk'ers and all bungie care about is FF afk'ing not the real thing thats ruining games.


Afkers are a lot worse than quitters. If I was in the middle of a game and suddenly had to go somewhere without warning I would quit rather than be afk.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

I quit when I like, and there's little you can do to stop me.

  • 12.16.2011 4:55 PM PDT

You best believe I'm going to quit if the game is hosted in Mexico or Australia.

Third world internet; not cool.

I shouldn't be punished because someone who shouldn't even be allowed to have internet in the first place hosts the game.

I would love this system to.

I would actually be glad if all my cR and rank was taken from me. I don't care about it in the slightest bit. Armor is just as irrelevant as well. I'll quit a match when I want to and nothing would prevent me from doing so. I refuse to play gametypes like derp elite slayer or have afk teammates on my team.

If they made it where you lost rank / cR for quitting then I'd actually quit on purpose so I could be a recruit again. It's hilarious when people think rank matters in reach or that we all care about it so much. I don't and never did. It's not like halo 3's amazing ranking system that was not only fun but gave me something to look forward too. Reach's progressive derp ranking system is so boring I have yet to really even look at what rank I am / how close I am to the next level.

Have you noticed though that you get almost no AFKers in games now?

It is because Bungie were so strict on the issue that people had to stop. So no matter how much they complain, it worked.

They need to take this positive and apply it to the the quit ban. I would suggest that you have to wait after every game that you quit. My proposal that the period you are banned from matchmaking is equal to the time left in the game you just quit + 5 minutes.
This would soon decrease the number of people quitting games and they might start playing properly. Especially people who quit at the very end of the game.
People will complain but in the end it will be for the good of the game
