Subject: Quitting

If the lag is unbearable, and I've been waiting and waiting for it to switch host, but it doesn't. Then I sometimes quit.

Like I said, this happens EVERY game. Do you guys leave just because you're losing or because you don't like the map? Or do you really care that much about your W/L ratio?

Discuss.


What? If you quit it still affects you W/L? Just depends if your team can carry without you there.

I did. Still doesn't make sense. If they quit it means they don't care about their W/L.

You still get credits for losing.


That's your problem.
How are credits my problem? I dont care about credits.

Stupid or just trolling?


Not your problem specifically, just a problem: I meant that the lack of a consequence (i.e. you are still awarded cR even if you lose) is conducive to quitting.

Uhm earning credits if you lose makes more people stay. As soon as kids start losing they will quit so they can start the next game to try and get credits.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

I hardly lose games in any playlist other than MLG. I don't care if the other team quits, i just hate when that 1 guy stays in a slayer game 1v4, 1v5 etc.

So if they're losing they'll stay but if they're losing they'll quit? What? Reach rewards you no matter the outcome of a game, thus the result of a match has no intrinsic value. So why would quitting matter to someone when Reach treats games flippantly rewarding participation over solo or team performance.

What I meant by that is, if their team is losing then they're going to quit because they dont want to screw up their W/L ratio. (I dont know if quiting games effects your W/L so I could be wrong)

If someone accidentally betrays another and gets booted . . . is it still counted as quitting?

As I've always said:

"Don't vote for Hemorrhage or elite slayer and I won't quit =)"

No, I dont count getting booted as quitting.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Agreed,

That is why I normally always play in a full team. No one quits, unless they really have to, but they inform us that they require to quit.

The other reason someone may leave, is because they lagged out.
You are correct, as we are always a full party, we play many teams that have players quit. We quickly gain map control, and once we have, normally another 2 will quit.

Very annoying for full teams, who just want to have a good game. And not a Spawn Kill Fest.

Anyone who quits, I leave feedback on for QUITTING

Quitters Suck, I understand if you quit becasue you have to go, but if you have a mic, just let the team know. They won't hate you for it, but if you quit without a word, they will.

I am the player that never Quits. I will try put up a fight. I hate quitters and refuse to be one.

If I quit, It's because I have something important to do that requires immediate attention.

Back in Halo 2. I played BTB 1 v 8 CTF. I was the one. They still didn't get a flag. It is a challange when you are out numbered, but is possible to still win.

I'm new to competitive Halo and Halo itself (Reach being my first video game ever actually). Message me if you want to play;

Reach: MLG, Arena, Doubles, BTB and customs.
Halo 3: Ranked MM and customs.

Also I have every Halo title and all of its DLC on the Xbox 360.

1v4's ( & etc.) can be easy to win if its a slayer game and your team quits early on. But its not that fun though.

People quit for a lot of different reasons, you yourself have quit about 10 games out of the last 25 games.
Yeah, I'll admit Im not the perfect gamer, I quit at times but I dont quit EVERY single game.

You do know that made no sence?

A) You quit three games in a row.

B) Also thats what the player said that quit from your last game.

C) You can't moan about quiters when you quit yourself.

That is because every game in Reach is either be roflstomping or get roflstomped. Few games are actually close with 50-45 - 67-75 scores.

A better trueskill system would help a lot.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

Why do you care if people quit? The only way that I see it "ruining your online experience" is that you're being owned by the other team. If this is the case, quit the game or just mess around. If you think that making the quit ban harsher will change anything, you're sadly mistaken; it will only cause people to AFK.

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

scrubs quit, tryhards are scared, whats new?

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

I am actually avoided by some people for unsportsman behavior and quitting early...lol.

  • 01.30.2012 11:18 AM PDT

Mainly because they don't enjoy it. I quit games sometime because it gets boring sitting there getting killed by the other team just spawn killing. Maps on Reach is no where near as good as the maps was on Halo3. I feel that bungie really didn't put no time and care into these maps in the last game like they did in Halo CE and Halo2 and 3. Halo Reach Maps seem kind of Blah for the most part. Halo 3 maps was the best. But people have their reason for quitting sometime. I do.

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

Seems like the easiest way to fix the quit ban would be to define some boundaries. If you are the first person to quit from a full game, it should be 10 minutes right there. Might be harsh for people with bad connections, but it would penalize all the rage-quits without penalizing the rest of the team that has to quit or go -14.
