Subject: Boot people in Arena

Lately, Ive been running into people making booster accounts in Arena. Simply playing, but just comming suicide over and over again, making it impossible to win. Why is there no boot function for stuff like this? Stuff like this ruins the only decent playlist on the game. Comment

I appreciate other viewpoints, but in a ranked playlist, there is no reason not to have a boot function similar to the one for team killing. Commit suicide 2-3+ times and you should be booted.

nope

You can't do anything about it, and will never be able to do anything.

I play games for gameplay, not silly gimmicks

H3 MM warrior

Reach S7, 8 and 9 arena warrior.

H4 MM legend

lol at people who do that.

Kids who iron boost are bad anyway, see xlg unstoppable and recent players, but there probably wont be an effective way to stop it from happening.

Search in a full party, thats the only way to prevent it.

Are you thick? He wants to be able to boot people for suiciding much the same as betrayal booting. Not sure what the point in your post is.

I had a friend who did this awhile back. His justification for it was that the people he was deranking on were all like 95% iron so he assumed that if they were that bad they didn't care about winning.

I guess OP is the exception.

I think the evolution of the ranking system will have an overall analysis that will take into account player position, activity, interaction, and performance in MP-centric games. But my problem with Arena is to have one team made up of randoms, against an MLG team in party chat working together.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

Avoid them and the players they are partied with. It works for me in FF to avoid AFKers.


Well it usually works.

Honestly there's no way out. If you make a suicide boot then people will just shoot you until you're absolute and keep you there and do the same with themselves. They will learn to adapt. I'd advise just quitting if you get into a game with these guys and moving on with your life.

This, more or less. There would have to be an overhaul to the system to prevent this sort of cheating for people to actually stop, and I am going to doubt 343i is going to be able to think of anything that clever.
