Subject: How to stop AFKers

There should be a system where it automatically kicks any players that are idle for about 5 mins. That way people wont be able to AFK and they'll be kicked out of the game which mean no credits for them. So do you think this would work? If so do you think this should be in Halo 4?

I'm watching you.

Does it matter whether or not they are booted or stay in the game? Either way, you're still down one teammate. That's the only thing that's truly important to someone in your position. Don't worry about what punishment they'll get.

yeah you're right but this would stop ppl from AFKing therefore you wont be down one person. But idk

You're making the assumption that it will stop afk'ing, but you are underestimating how far some people are willing go to use such an exploit. It won't prevent anything.

It's one less idle player on your team the other team can kill.

Sounds good.

This is a good idea and has been suggested a few times before. But the problem is that it's just not a part of the Halo engine (like mid game joining) and as Halo 4 is going to be using the Halo engine I don't see how it could be implemnted.

Before you gamestalk me, my H3 Exp is boosted because I'm not playing 5000 games again like I did on my main account for my 5 star. I AFKed and Grif boosted wtih supers0ak to get to Inheritor since I'm impatient when it comes to processional ranks. Nothing in Reach shows skill unless you play with the person anyways.
