"In Halo 3 not all 50's were good players, but all good players were 50's."

Your opinion is invalid.

I don't.

Ever?

I've quit less than 10 times in Halo 3 and Reach put together.

  • 02.21.2012 4:25 PM PDT

The Halo series was my first and favorite FPS series.
I enjoy most games throughout all systems despite what some people say.

Oh, and on the forums, I tell it like it is, like it or not.

I don't quit. Period. If I really want out of a game, I betray until I get booted.

It still counts as quitting, but its more fun.

[X] My teammates are really bad or not even trying or AFKing.
[X] Several of my teammates have already quit.

I usually don't ever quit but if it's objective and my team already turns to crap or quit and it's going to be a LONG game then I'm out, unless of course the other team is worse than mine. I might stick around and get some killing sprees.

  • 02.21.2012 4:40 PM PDT

[X] I've played this map too many times in a row.
[X] I've played this gametype too many times in a row.

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

I don't quit ever because I always search with a party, so I'm hardly losing.

Good job OP.

You listed just about EVERY LEGITIMATE REASON TO QUIT!

Pay attention -blam!-s
and by -blam!-s, I do mean supporters of the quit ban.

Oh..and go ahead and assume that I put an X in every category.
You won't get an explanation however, because I am too lazy, and well....I've explained more than enough over the past year.

But what I really want to point out is..

Look at that list.

Now. look at the population you're working with.

I gaurantee you that everyone has an X somewhere on that list.

Now lets just toss a bunch of random people in a room together.
Take a guess of what the likely hood is of someone in that room having a reason to quit?

All it takes is 1 person.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A HABITUAL QUITTER!
Only people habitually being forced to play a man down because no join in progress feature and being told they can't quit to find a new game.

I've never had the quit ban, yet I quit sometimes. If you quit enough for the ban to take place, then you deserve it.

Sometimes? well guess what? I have a low tolerance for any of those issues. Your tolerance is obviously a little bit higher. as is evident by the people who brag how they play out 2v4..just in the off chance they MIGHT put up a fight.

if it's 2v4, I could give a -blam!- and will quit to find a new match every time it happens.... what about you?


Just because you haven't been hit by the quit ban due to your patience and willingness to not quit out on certain occasians doesn't mean that the quit ban is ok.


And how the hell would I deserve to get hit by the quit ban under any circumstance when the fault lies entirely on Bungie and their matchmaking system?

Exactly.

Don't you know that betrayals go on your invisible permanent record, and the more you betray overall the more likely it is that people will have the chance to boot you even if it was an accident?

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

1. Because I didn't have enough time.
2. Network difficulties/RRoD (RRoD hasn't happened with my new Xbox, however).
No other reason; if people are being butts, I can avoid them/file complaints to Xbox Live.

I've played over 7,000 games of Reach with no quit ban. If you quit, you're ruining it for both your team members and your opponents. Quitting is bad, and should only be done if you have something to do that is more important IRL.

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

Yeah, well I say matchmaking ruined it for me right from the start. So why not spread the love?

And you need to understand this above all else.
THE QUITTER DIDN"T RUIN YOUR GAME.
Matchmakings inability to do anything useful about it is what ruins it for you.

How does dishing out 10 minute bans do anything to make it better?

Oh wow, that guy quit on me which in turn makes me have to play a man down the rest of this game.. But it's all good cause after enough quits on that one guy I will probably never see again...He might get banned for 10 minutes.

Oh look here's another match I'm in with a quitter, but guess what, this a completely unique person quitting.. not the same guy who quit on me last game. But it's all good, because if that guy quits enough he won't be able to play for 10 minutes.

New game...same story. New person quitting. (Not the same as the first 2 who quit)

Understand it.

I am a supporter of the quitter ban, and I think it should be more severe. No matter how justified you feel about quitting, you're still ruining the experience for others.

However, a good hard look at the most common reasons for quitting is important too, and hopefully 343 will read it when I post the results of this tally on their forum.

MATCHMAKING IS RUINING YOUR GAMES! NOT THE QUITTERS

GET THAT THROUGH YOUR F.UCKING HEADS! PLEASE!!!!!

You will not solve any issues about quitting until you come to understand this one simple fact.

Stop blaming quitters for your ruined games.

Quitters are just the messengers. The symptom of a greater problem.

Like I said, at least everyone who's ever played halo, as an X somewhere on that list.

Now lets make a matchmaking system that tries to lock a bunch of random people into a room with each other before they know who or what they are going to be playing..

Then lets limit them to choosing from a select handful of playlist that pretty much gaurantees, they'll be playing something stupid that they would honestly NEVER CHOOSE to play if they had the option to avoid it.

HELLO!?!?!?!

If you don't like the options in a playlist, you should really find another playlist. It's inevitable that Hemorrhage comes up a lot in BTB, for example, and if you really can't stand it, go play Squad DLC or something.
