In Response To: On Quitting - Extreme Measures Required (3Suns)


: I understand, more targets to shoot, Rambo and all that. It is torture,
: however, for the members on the other team not wanting to quit, and thus
: being forced to kill a single player 100 times, or wait for the clock to
: run out.

: This is going to be one of the biggest challenges in Halo 3 Multiplayer: how
: do we punish those who quit, because quitters certainly are effective at
: punishing us?

: Penalty for quitting: I don't think it would be unreasonable to: 1. drop the
: player 5 ranks in ranked games for a single quit game,

: and/or, for example,

: 2. to not place them for x minutes (make them wait in the lobby for x minutes
: before setting up a new match) every time they want to join another match.
: After they have played x number of games without quitting, the wait
: penalty could be removed, though they would have to re-earn their rank.

: This will accomplish two things: 1. It will slow down some of the quitting,
: and give less access to quitter because he/she will be in "the
: penalty box", you know, 5 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct,

: 2. for those who absolutely cannot play out the match, rather than just
: quitting out, they will leave their disembodied Spartan out there so that
: others can at least spawn kill the moron until the kill count is high
: enough to end the game.

: Hmm...let me know where the loopholes are in my thinking.

Is it really fair to penalize a single player in Team Slayer, or any other rank game type, by dropping his rank by 5 because the rest of his team quits? Is it worth sticking around in a ranked game when the rest of your team quits? When it ends up a 4 on 1 match I always quit. The chances of me defeating the enemy team is next to impossible, if I have host then I may stick around and see what happens. Since I rarely get host there is no point to playing out the rest of the match.

At best the Ranking system with Halo 2 is schizophrenic. I watched my rank in Team Slayer drop from a 32 to a 27 in 4 games because my team quit those 4 games. Was that fair to penalize me because of the actions of my team mates?
