Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.
-blam!- all of you fanboys!
Do you honestly think this will stop people.
Big deal, so you don't drop the sniper...
That's not going to stop them from denying it to you.
That's the whole point.
Ever heard this saying before?
"If I can't have it, NOONE CAN!"
Or...how about this..
You're running low on Ammo with the power weapon.
"Hey dude, come over here and betray me so I'll respawn with a new one"
Way to create a new method of boosting and completely denying anyone else the chance to pick up the weapon for themselves.
Cause really, with your idea, I could keep any particular power weapon COMPLETELY to myself for the entire match.
I have a better idea.
It's called KISS
First off, you add an option to initiate a vote during gameplay.
In which the requirment is a majority vote to kick the person out of the room. Remove the system completely. Let the PLAYERS (You know, the ones with actual brains) decide when a person is to be kicked from the match.
This behind the scenes math equation to handle it, is just that..it has no idea of the context of the situation and gives complete power to -blam!-s who boot for ANY REASON. Without the consent of anyone else in the room.
To let the computer do the decisions...that's wrong.
To let a computer give the decision to one person... That's also wrong.
Leave it to the players to decide.
Oh, and...only people on the same team can initiate a vote against someone on THEIR team.
None of this bull-blam!- that people will pull all match where you try to boot your opponents out of a match.
And no unreasonable votes either. The person has to have betrayed at least once or guilty of significant team damage, before the option to vote that person out will even present itself.
TL:DR
It should require the majority vote of at least more than 1 player on the same team of the offender to kick them out of a match.
The opposing team votes are not needed or accounted for in terms of majority vote.
And what's funny..This should be the only instance in which people have to vote inside a video game. Having to vote for map/gametypes... is -blam!- stupid.
