In Response To: Re: On Quitting - Extreme Measures Required (Count Zero)


: They quit because they're jerks. There's nothing Bungie or anyone can do
: about this. They already provided the tools for players to create games
: with exactly the settings they want and they made it clear that if you
: want to play ranked you relinquish control over those settings.

But what about the proposed voting idea that's been thrown around? If everyone sees what the match is ahead of time, they can vote yea or nay, and then the system will throw up another gametype. IIRC, the proposed idea would only let you do this once, to prevent the players from never deciding, or from only playing what they wanted to play.

I think that would cut down a lot on quitters.

Advertised customs really just doesn't sit well with me. I like the system as it is, because everyone in your custom game will either have only one or two degrees of seperation from the host, which IMO makes them less likely to be jerks. Not that someone won't have a kick button, but you see what I'm saying. If you want to play with new people, you can always run into them in matchmaking and then invite them to your custom games later. Advertising customs on a server list is just giving griefers a list of games that are available for them to go into and harass people.

Add to that the fact that you will undoubtedly see the same maps and gametypes on a server list over and over, and you have a near-perfect recipe for not-fun.

Counter-strike has Dust, UT has Facing Worlds, Halo PC has Blood Gulch, etc. etc.
