What do you guys say to this...

since quitting has become such a plague on Halo 2, almost more so than modders and bridgers and whatnot, what would you say to a system that auto adjusts the handicap during gameplay?

We all know the standard bomb game in Halo, or CTF for that matter, when one team scores, instantly about half the other team quits. Well, what if, when the game becomes 8 on 4, the weakened team is made stronger. I think this would help out the whole quitting situation.

I still don't get why people quit. I'd rather have a really fun match and lose, than quit out after a score in the 2nd minute of a 12 minute game.

What do you all think?

Or they could just us the "even teams" option (or w/e it's called). Where if one team has 2 people then 2 people on the other team have to sit out until on dies. It would be annoying, especially if the 2 worst people are the ones in the game, but it would work better than a handicap system.

Thats a good point. I think though, that if you had the waiting system, you'd just have those people quitting out to get back into action.

I don't know about all that. Halo is fast-paced, I really wouldn't want to have to sit out for anything. If you want to get into shoulds then they should make it so that if two people quit on one team, one person from the team with more players, spawns on the team with less players, dropping the game by one player but with even teams. Just happens to be who gets killed after the quitters, quit. This would also play into the Zombie Game Type thing. Although, that is another topic (which will most likely be posted within the next hour).

Quitting should de-level you 1 level each time you do it. It should be painful to leave a match.
