Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

The psychological effect was that players became more and more hostile towards others, people forgot that it was just a game and did and said things to others that are just outright ridiculous. Regardless of the rating, such behavior is inexcusable. People need to be reminded that it is only a game.


The 1-50 had nothing to do with that.
People will act that way regardless. The exact same thing happens in Reach.

At least with the 1-50 you could tell how good someone was and you got even matches.

That kind of behavior is present in every video game, and always will be. If the 1-50 was invisible, and no other changes were made, people would still be raging, betraying, quitting, trash-talking, etc.

The system did its' job, that I will not deny.

Then why are you opposed to it? If the 1-50 was invisible, would you be more accepting of it?

all the other who quit who "left you no choice" will have the same ban if they carry on, eventually it will leave us with people who only want to PLAY matchmaking instead of quit.

And yes i've been there when i'm the last one left, and because i dont quit as soon as i go -1 i have the luxery of quitting when i'm the last one, without fear of a ban, and i've won 1v4 by getting a lead and going kill for kill and hiding on bad maps.

Stop quitting= no ban

As you can see OP, you're not plucking any emotional strings here. It's called karma, and you deserved it.

There are no excuses for this one, and I hope 343i institutes this in future games too, just to make the point clear. Nobody likes quitters. It ruins the fun for EVERYBODY.

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

You quit because you don't want to play. Quit ban keeps you from playing.

Problem?

Kind of yes, but this was not 343i's doing, it was Bungie's. 343i has yet to remove it, and I honestly hope that they do not. However, I think that it should at least be edited because three quit games equals probation. I personally feel that the amount of game quite should be raised to maybe six or seven.

lol

Why? Quitting three games in a short amount of time is plenty.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

The way in which the multiplayer probation was implemented resulted in a lot of unfairness, e.g. in the MLG playlist, it is very common for players to quit or go AFK as soon as they begin losing, and generally not playing well...

Why should I then be punished for quitting a game in which none of my other teammates (or majority of) were playing the game?

The current multiplayer ban system is too narrow and does not cover all of Halo multiplayer player's issues and potential situations. It is unfair as it is now. Hopefully 343i will do a good job with the Halo 4 multiplayer.

The 1-50 scale was a numerical translation of your own bell curve. You will still matched against players based on TrueSkill, but instead of saying "TrueSkill doesn't work!", we just said "Oh, you're a -blam!- 50!".

Quitting is my main problem with Halo. D:< ....and goober lock ''cough cough''

  • 11.21.2011 4:38 PM PDT

Hell yes. Quitting and AFKing is worth a 2 hour ban, Bungie lets you off WAY easy with a 15 minute warning.

Your the jackass. How would you like it if your account got BANNED from playing multiplayer full stop?

Bloody troll


15 mins you -blam!- get over it.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Quitters need to be punished. End of line.

  • 11.21.2011 4:40 PM PDT

The ban a lot should be more aggressive. Too may AFK/Quitters!

  • 11.21.2011 4:43 PM PDT

I win, you lose, get over it!

OP, you should just chill and deal with it.

I myself just came off a probationary period myself for quitting (even though it was mostly from being betrayal booted lol)

  • 11.21.2011 4:50 PM PDT

If I were in charge I'd make it an hour ban and a 10% decrease in total credits(you could derank)
