Quitters Punished in Halo Reach

Quitters Punished in Halo Reach

None

You’re having a good match, picking off foe after foe with precision. As your score continues to grow, it becomes increasingly harder to find your next target until you eventually find yourself in a deserted online match. If this sounds familiar to you, then the statements made by Bungie’s Community Director Brian Jarrard in an interview with Xbox360Achievments.org should bring a smile to your face.

Talking about Halo Reach, Jarrard states “I think one of the new things people will be excited about too, is how we’re going to be able to penalise people who are habitually quitting out of games, which isn’t exactly cheating, but it creates a really negative experience for everybody else in the game.” He explains “We actually have new tools now to detect that and eventually, people who do this habitually will actually be penalised,” continuing, “We want to be able to remove them from the population so they can’t make everyone else keep having a bad time.” It’s nice to see someone finally attempting to fix the “dropping” issue that plagues almost every online game at this point. Here’s hoping it works, and only those who deserve it will be punished.
