Subject: Matchmaking Ban is broken

Teamwork means staying out of my way.

You should not be banned from matchmaking for leaving a game after your teammates have already left. What am I supposed to play a 6v1? My choices are play a 6v1 or get banned from matchmaking which ultimately ends the night since I'm not going to wait around to get unbanned.

You could say "Well don't leave a bunch of games in the first place then." Fact of the matter is, I left something like 3 games in my last 25 and they were all because my entire team had already left! Why am I supposed to play on a team alone?

Adapt.

Stop quitting so much and there won't be any problems.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

According to Bungie, yes.

game 1 - You and your guest quit out when 2 other players were still in the game, it would have been 4v6

game 2 - You quit out when 4 other people were still in the game..

No excuses, quit crying like a little baby.

you have to quit like 5 times in a day in order to get banned...

Actually, there are perfectly good excuses for each of those occurrences. Game 1 you linked one of those two guys was not playing anymore so it would have been 3v6. Plus my guest was horrible so really 2v6. Why should I be forced to play that? Especially on Spire Invasion which is one of the easiest maps to spawn trap. Should I be forced into getting 30 spawn deaths?

Game 2, I got booted out of for throwing a sticky grenade into a territory. Clearly whoever did it was a retard considering I was the best player on the team. Why should I be punished for someones boot-happy fingers? That is another issue with matchmaking is that people boot you every chance no matter what the circumstances. Look what the outcome of that game was thanks to whoever booted me.

As for having to quit "like 5 games in a day to get banned" that is not true. I played 2 games today. Finished the first, then left the second and got banned. I played 3 games yesterday, finished them all.

In fact, I haven't left a game in 3 days other than the one that got me banned today. How long is this "probation" supposed to last?! Leaving a couple games puts me on probation for a week and then I am banned for leaving a lopsided game? It is absurd.

How I kill? Simple effective Head shots and Beat downs. My newest favorite saying? Bullet meet head, head meet bullet. I would love to say this to a current telemarketer. I now have come up with Operation Laser. Operation Laser is the basis of basic lasering. Spartan Lasers ftw!

You either have been banned so much the system has a tab on you, or maybe no one likes to hear someone complaining about ' I'm the best player in this game, and I'm awesome so don't leave!' I've had games where I'm the only one left in 1v4's, and I still didn't quit. Why? Because I enjoy a challenge even if my -blam!- gets kicked.


Stop leaving so many games and maybe you won't get banned. Or don't be so quick to throw and/or shoot/drive something that kills your teammates.


And stop crying anyways, your K/D is 4.83. 30 spawn deaths isn't gonna hurt it. Unless you're one of those people that loves to preserve their K/D. If so, by all means cry about it. And I noticed you go for mostly kills instead of helping your teammates capture something. Go pitch your tent in a game somewhere, and stop complaining to the forums, because you will find little to no sympathy here.

Because you're playing a game with a friend, it should be for fun and not stat whoring which it seems you like to do.. If he was horrible you shouldn't have started a game with him if you cared that much about your stats.

The quit ban is only 10 minutes and you can play again, "probation" lasts 3-4 days so if you quit or get booted in that time you'll get another 10 minute.

The choice is either not play for 10 minutes or get raped for "x" minutes, your choice.

Actually I capture points all the time man. I play Invasion a lot and there's no medal for capturing the core, which is strange, but you can't tell me "I noticed you mostly go for kills" when that isn't even true. I play the objective.

And this is the first time I have ever been banned, so the system doesn't "have a tab on me" either.

Yeah that's the whole point. I shouldn't be forced into making that decision. We ultimately just ended up going to play Modern Warfare 3. That is precisely why this game is dying.

Jesus OP, could you whine any more then you're doing now?

You should take your defeat like a man and stay in the game. If you quit and get banned for 10 minutes then take it as a sign and stop playing. Take a damned break.

Also, if your guest sucks, then you shouldn't have entered Matchmaking with him/her in the first place.

You do realize it's just a dumb waste of time, right? Your answer is to just make everyone pissed off that the one person left just doesn't quit? The game has already been decided, now you're just fondling around and NO ONE is having fun! Everyone wants the game to end so they can begin the next one already. Where is the common sense? WHY IS EVERYONE SO NAIVE?!

Not really. I've been on my own in a 2 vs 4 match and we damn near won. I say "on my own in a 2vs 4 match" because my team mate got more or less 8 kills whereas I got 40 and the other two quit at the beginning.
