Re: Quit bans still exist in Halo 4 people.

In Response To: Re: Quit bans still exist in Halo 4 people. (General Vagueness)

:Why would you try five times before waiting a few minutes, or do you mean it searched for a match :for a few minutes? Why wouldn't you wait until you knew that game was over (it shows you in the :bottom right how long that'll be)? What kind of game even lasts that long?
:Why is there a quitting ban if they're going to let people quit and join whenever they want like this?

That was my fault, I was impatient. I know I almost always end up in the same game when I don't wait, I just hoped it wouldn't happen.

Good question on the quitting ban. My guess, if people like me get host, that can ruin it for others. I play enough games where the host quits only to have the new host quit, etc etc... That, and as people in this tread have stated, players dislike being thrown in an almost finished losing game.

:That's pretty harsh, especially since it makes the game bearable for a lot of people (who aren't in the
:99th percentile in skill level), unless you have some other matching method you'd like to suggest.

A: Just random. Sometimes you play good people, sometimes bad, mostly average. Is it really the worst thing in the world to have to be challanged by playing a good player once in a blue moon?

B: Just balance the teams after 16(or whatever) people are matched. Divide the teams evenly.

These are just off the top of my head. Both of these speed up matchmaking and improve the available games pool. Granted you won't have the perfect, Captain Boring and his Samey Train of Monotony where you play the same people with the same skills, same ranks, same tactics, same strategy, all night to the tune of non-stop 0-0 ties. BUT, sometime a little variety helps spice things up, even if I have to lose to a better player, thats what make me better. And lets face it, beating an exactly matched team, meh, but when you beat a team that is better than you...

I have some strong negative opinions on TruSkill and I know most people don't. I understand from a business standpoint it is the EA method of making something as bland as possible to please the vast majority of consumers. I just don't like it, actually, I absoluty HATE everything about TruSkill.

: one more I didn't think of that's really simple: Why didn't you try another
: playlist?

Again, my fault. False hope and stubberness mostly.
