    Hi, I was just wondering, does anyone know if that bogus quitter ban thing from the Reach beta will be in the full game? It was really annoying when quit like 3 games you have to wait a half hour before playing again. I think not getting any credits is enough of a punishment for quitting. So, does anyone know if the quitter ban is returning?

    Probs just credit penalty. The half hour thing was only because the beta had limited time, so a timed penalty seemed appropriate.

    That's lame. Just because you have to leave the game doesn't mean you should have to lose credits. Like I said, I think that not getting any credits for the game is punishment enough. Losing credits seemed a little over the top. The EXP penalty in Halo 3 got really annoying, and some people who should've been a 5-star general were 1-star generals just cuz they quit games sometimes.

    uhhhuhuhh this thread is pretty much pointless

    lol I actually think it is good cause that pisses me off when people quit and it lags up. It gives multiple chances doesn't it?

    1st-warning
    2nd-points
    3rd-ban for a while

    somethin like that. i think. I mean all you really need is one emergency one in case you just need to ditch in a hurry.

    Im pretty sure it will be in the full game but i don't know, its your own fault for quitting those games and getting that bann.

    What i am saying they are using that bann to try stop people just for quitting games for no reason. Example rage quit and crap like that. When you quit your ruining it for other players, it give the other team the advantage to win. In ranked games in halo 3 it sucked when someone quit and you end up loosing and lossing your rank. During the beta i did not quit one match and not many people did.

    Why do you even have to quit anyway? If I really have to go do something I just go hide somewhere so I hopefully won't die or anything and then leave the game alone for a bit. I know some people worry about their kill to death ratios and stuff but I really couldn't care less about any of that crap.

    As long as they prevent modders that have become so prevalent on XBL the quit ban will be fine. If I get banned for quitting out of games full of modders I will be pissed.
    Anyways I shouldn't matter because you can just go forge if you get quit banned.

    I was one person that was totally for quit banning. What you whiny children don't realize is we were given the privilege of testing a game for them and getting a glimpse of what the game was like before anyone else. Our job wasn't to only play games we liked. Our job was to play every game and give feedback on what we liked, disliked, any balance issues, any glitches, any bugs, any lag, any suggestions... all of that. Companies normally have testers do that stuff for them and instead they gave that honor to us.

    Whether or not they have it in the released version of that game, I don't know. I hope that they do. If not, I hope that they have come up with solutions to the issue. I suggested more specified playlists, but they stated that would result in smaller pools of players. Personally, I could care less if I played with/against the same group of people. I'd rather have that then constantly having people drop out of my games and end up with a shorter team because people dropped because they didn't like the game type or map it was on... which seemed to be a majority of the issue.

    If you join the game, and then must leave, you should never have started the game in the first place. Unless it's an emergency like a fire started or something, and how often does that happen? It hurts your team and Bungie is trying to be Pro-team in a much better way than MW2 was.

    TL;DR: Quit, **** your team over, get banned. I like it.

    Well when you get banned, you get the same feeling of "WTF! What assholes" when you get banned as your teammates do when you quit their game and screw their team.

    Great analogy Loscocco.

    During the Beta, I stalked the threads in regards to the banhammer and nearly pissed myself from laughing so hard at the people that reacted like it was the end of the world when they got the 30 minute ban.

    The only thing I didn't agree with about the ban was the time was game time and not real time. In other words the ban countdown timer apparently only counted down if you had the game running and not an "actual" 30 minutes.

    It will be and I'm glad it is, Never quit a game in Halo:3 don't intend on quitting a game in Reach will help people stop quitting lol which is good for team work,(which they have skipped out on, on a few other areas so this is good)

    I don't understand why people would quit that often in Halo Reach. Especially with the new vote for gametype system instead of vetoing.

    I'd much rather have to wait 30 minutes if I quit too much than have the issues Halo 3 currently has with people quitting when they are losing and screwing over their teammates.

    Think of it this way: If you truly had to leave, then the 30 minutes wouldn't really hurt you, because you're doing something else other than matchmaking anyways. And if you want to quit because you hate the gametype or map or your team is losing, it's your fault to not finish honorably. In the beta, I was in SWAT and my team was all one 1 xbox. They betrayed me a little, and I ended up booting them and making it me, myself, and the other team. Did I win? Nope, but I did my damn well best to give them one hell of a time. Did I quit? Not likely. If they quit or you boot them, it doesn't mean you gotta quit. It's only hurting them.

    If you quit a match, or don't even play and let your guy sit and be a handicap to your team. **** YOU.

    We needed this for a long time, so sorry that you can't run and hide every time you are getting your ass kicked.

    (I don't necessarily mean the you, the OP, do it all the time, but I assume you are a quitter otherwise you wouldn't be bitching about the 'bogus' ban.)

    Lol combat, the problem is that i often end up winning when other people quit out. There is a point where you get level locked and tend to be consistently better than your team. When that happens its a matter of hoping that your teammates get pissed and quit so that you can win. I honestly like the option to quit, and do better when my team does quit (better overall K/D ratio, one less person dying.)

    at CombatGam3r,

    Do you know if getting kicked counts towards the ban? Sometimes I just mess up and kill my teammates. Like I'm about to shotgun someone and a teammate steps in front of me or a bad genade or such. Kicking counting could suck...

    I would assume after a number of times you might receive some sort of ban. Otherwise that would be a extremely large flaw in the whole system, not to mention a bigger way of being a ****.

    People would betray so they get kicked and don't get quit banned. I just hope they are more lenient about betrayals because I was kicked numerous times in Halo 3 for people who jumped on my trip mine, ran into my grenade, or stepped in front of my warthog because I assumed people had common sense.
