Subject: Why did Bungie make a Quit ban?

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.

Because if you quit it ruins the game for other people.


It ruins the game for me when it's a 4v1 situation and the last guy refuses to quit out because they're afraid they'll get banned.

I want to face competition; not play hide and seek for 10 minutes.

your a dumb a**, do you know how many games you have to quit to get a ban? on your first ban its only 15 min and then if you do it again its a little worse so if you actually get banned for a day your just a nooooooob who quits to much. Have a great day :)

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Quit ban isn't even a punishment. You can do something else easily for 15 minutes.

Needs to be harsher.

less QQ more PEW PEW

what i hate is when i get booted by idiot teammates and get banned

  • 03.06.2012 6:38 PM PDT

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

Quitters need to be punished and the ban should be harsher.
Really So if the game is lagging Like really bag you would stay? that idiotic.
You would have to quit heaps before getting banned. You're talking like you get banned for quiting or lagging out once

Well it is quite annoying when your team is losing and everyone leaves, although not all situations are like that, sometimes the hosts' latency is so bad, and under certain circumstances, the game refuses to change hosts. The best thing to do is to report these situations to 343 Industries and they will work on fixing the penalty system.

Quit ban should only apply to Ranked matches and the social part should have been Public/Player matches aka drop in drop out, so even if a player quits there will always be a replacement.

  • 03.07.2012 5:56 AM PDT

You should never be forced to stay in a game you dont like and making a ban to support that is pure idocy. The ban system and the whole MM system sucks ass and should have no part of halo 4. Join mid game is better and even joining a game here and there that gives you the "you lose" title is not as bad as being banned for 10 minutes for quiting to much. Find another game it takes 2 minutes.

The only people who like the quit ban are people who like to stat pad at some level. Well from what iv'e seen the general consensus is that stat padders are losers anyway so dont come at me with that BS excuse of "it ruins my games you should stay so i can kick your ass waaaaaa". You have obviously won the game. Move on to the next one.

Quit ban is stupid. Fact.

Why quit? Dish it out. When you quit you are not only hurting yourself by getting banned but you are also affecting the game for your team and the enemy team, They put the ban so people wouldn't quit as much. If you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen. Don't come on here and complain about how you got banned when it was your own fault. In short, stop rage quitting and you wont have this problem.

That is not fact, that is opinion. YOUR opinion. Quitters are weak and when you quit a game because you suck to bad to get a kill you should get worse then a ban. Rage quitters consist of people who suck, little kids, and you. Now if you have to leave a game because you need to get offline for a legit reason that is a different story. The fact of the matter is that the Ban is here to stay and people like you getting on here and whining that you have to wait 10 minutes to play a game of matchmaking because you are dumb enough to leave to many games isn't going to make it go away. Stats don't mean a thing to me but I still hate rage quitters so get your facts straight. They not only ruin the game for the enemy team but they also ruin it for their team mates. People like you need to look at the full picture.

If its that bad so much that you get quit banned, you can't be having fun playing reach anyway and should either stop playing MM or get a better broadband service.

~ Videogames are my favorite videogames ~

If you quit out of a game every so often for the situations that you laid out, you don't get the penalty. I haven't once gotten the thing to pop up yet and I'm always leaving games for every session that I get on for.

The key is not leaving every single possible game one after another just for whatever little reason.
Not everything will go exactly perfect for you, and I don't see why I have to put up with it when I get those types of players who leave as soon as they first die.
If you get peeved every single match and rage quit, maybe you deserve the 10 minute ban to cool off.

And narrow minded people like you who think your way is the only way need to grow up. You wonder why games like CoD beat halos ass so bad? This is part of that formula. An out dated system. It's old and it needs to go. It may be my opinion but it is greatly supported by the lack of support that reach has.

Wow in the middle of typing this i was just informed twice mid game (got me killed once too in the past) that if i leave any more games ill be banned. I havent left any games at all in the last 3 days. It also hasent said id be quit banned for leaving in the last few hours. So why now all of a sudden? No don't be an idiot and say i have. Cus i havent. There is your false ban system at work. Don't come at me supporting it when its obviously broken as -blam!-. Now this i can actually say is FACT.

Let me make it clear that i don't want the current game setup w/o a quit ban. I want it to be join-mid-game w/o a quit ban. Getting rid of one solves the other and quite frankly takes out an aspect that should never have existed to begin with.

I really doubt any of what you just typed is true. It isn't going to give you a warning unless it has reason. And joining mid-game is stupid. It may work for CoD but this isn't CoD, its Halo. CoD sucks anyway. And besides, if Halo did everything the way CoD did it then it wouldn't be Halo, it would be a cheap CoD knockoff. Ban is here to stay, whether you like it or not. So like I said before, you getting on here and -blam!-ing about it isn't going to make it go away. If you think CoD is so much better than Halo then go play that.

You can doubt it all you like but it still happend. I wish it would show up on the replay id be more then glad to show it to you. I also highly doubt im the first person this has happend to. Im not asking for this to be a CoD knockoff. I didnt ask for ADS, i didnt ask for customisable loadouts, i didn't ask for kill streaks. I only want a join-in-progress system so i can actually pick up the game and play instead of spending half the time staring at a loby screen or join a game i actually should be in. Not a game that puts me up against players 10x better then me. Thats sure as hell not fair either.

Playing against players who are 10x better isn't going to do anything but make you a better player. IF! you can control your temper that is. I learned a lot from people that are better than me and in turn became a better player. And I learned it all by watching what they do, not rage quitting.

You should lose more credits the more games you leave and as you leave more your credit cap lowers until you leave too many game and can no longer receive credits for that day because you're credit capped.
