Hire Retro yesterday.
346 here. I mostly played solo and I sucked back then, though.

Yea but Halo 3 had a bunch of bullshit netcode, game drops and hostbooters too. So if you played a lot expect a lot of quits.
Sure.
What are the chances there's some blueish green filter in Halo 4, similar to Deus Ex's yellow? I could see it for Campaign, but not MP. Answer the call, oldboy.
This is more hilarious than it should be.
I played 10,208 games, and only had -328 XP, so no.

How do you figure that? My EXP is at -642.
I went for a while there where I just didn't care about penalties and what not. I dunno why. And as I said, I'm not sold on the idea. I'd really like to see how it works in a beta or something before making judgement. It's such a radical departure from the other games.

You got lucky, damn I got booted from a match three times a night at the minimum.
I think that was a personal problem.

Your crazy, I played 7000ish matchmade games and only quit 132 times, im sure like half of that was from people in my house restarting the reutor to connect other stuff to it while I was midgame lol. That was at like 50 or at least 45 high in most playlists aswell which is where you would expect the most foul play. I do remember getting hit by booters more than it should be reasonable though, that did suck.

It would be pretty hilarious if this was actually the case.
Sadly I think I have that disk too.
Halo 3 is a great game and im used to the framerate but 500 ping seems about right some games lol.xxjuicesxx

Pretty much. Three flawed DVDs. Two Halo 3's and a Mythic.
I forgot I quit a lot of AR games too. I said suckit Bungie don't gimme shit gametypes.

Halo honor -1?
I agree with making 1-sided objective games globally 2 rounds only. They did it to certain BTB gametypes and it's awesome.
One offense each, one defense each, if you don't want to tie 1-1 well you should have done better. I've generally disagreed with the gametypes getting longer and longer each time a Halo game comes out. Halo 2's 12 minutes were just right, Halo 3's 20 minute neutral bomb games were a 20 minute wait to get 1 exp.

Should I play Reach tonight, or should I continue my no-HUD Metroid Prime run?

Can you get Halo Honor by playing Metroid?
Are you Justin Bailey?
We need more input!
It'd stop quitting pretty damn quick, wouldn't it though? I mean, yeah, it breaks the realism of the game, but if quitting actually had a highly visible effect on how you were treated from game to game? It's like a giant billboard that says "I'm a douche-nozzle"; the enemies go after you because you're an easy target, teaching humility... and anyone who gets matched with a big-headed teammate will gave some pretty nasty things to say too.
How long before people stopped being little crybabies?
And it's a perfect metaphor, these people who think they are so good that they should never lose.
Halo honor -1?
Impossible, those guys never do anything disrespectful to their fellow gamers.
It's funny because it's true.

Took me just over 11 months of playing every day and getting nearly every challenge, and there were plenty of people that did it sooner than I did.
Remember how I hit 10,000 automatic kills the other day? Yeah, I was checking my friend gophillies' Service Record and he's about to hit 32,000.
There's always a a bigger fish.
Game harder scrub
Well, that's clearly the difference between a real-life Halo Community Veteran and someone like yourself, Ramirez.
4,600 matches in multi-team
24,000 AR kills
Can't get any grosser than that. It's the ultimate
Also, getting Inheritor in 11 months requires getting about 60k credits a day.

Big Head Mode wouldn't work. If I quit and got that penalty I would just idle in the next game to reset to regular mode. So rather than solve the quitting problem, you've just greatly increased the idling problem.
The easiest way to stop quitters is to focus on making the gameplay fun while managing the playlists in a way that prevents players from having to play a game type that they don't like.
No more Snipers games outside of the Snipers playlist. No Race games outside of the Race playlist. Don't ship maps with easily exploitable features (original Zealot for example).
Don't design a shooter with gameplay that disproportionately rewards players who go for kills by doing things other than shoot (grenades, wacky AA's, punch-punch).
No more four-way split-screeners vs. a team of four full-screeners.
Ranked play to discourage quitters for the competitive players and drop-in/drop-out for social games so that you don't get the quitter cascade effect.
Do ALL of this and you will hopefully cut quitting to half the rate we see in Reach. The quitters will always be with us, but they don't have to overwhelm us.

Yeah, we should be watching other people play it.
He doesn't watch people play Reach 10 hours a day for a year.
I was half-joking anyways... half-joking in that I would actually love to see a BK stroll into a Sniper's Match with a hot air balloon-sized head.
If it's all about winning though, wouldn't standing in a corner idle hurt their precious win/loss score?

THINK OF ALL THE CUSTOM CHALLENGE CREDIT FARMERS - ALL ONE OF THEM!
No, but I am desperately worried about the Twitch.tv viewer economy and how it can be exploited. First they came for the NinjaTrolls, and I did not speak up, for I was not a BK,

I agree it's a funny idea, I was just looking for an excuse to rattle off a quitter-manifesto.
I would argue that there are more quits over gametype/map/gameplayrage than over win/loss issues.
Then they came for the inheritors, and I did not speak up, for I was not an inheritor,
Halo honor -1?
1 guy drops, the other is AFK. I will only endure so much before I quit.

You know what Im kinda tired of? MP map environments based mostly off of campaign. When you go back to the older games and see how unique and mysterious some of the locales were and then play Reach it makes me sad. I would love to see modern revisions of some of the more unique styles and locations.
I suppose this goes hand in hand with the dislike of Forge Worlds simplicity and repetitive look.

It just dawned on me that Dax had like close to 1K quits in Halo 3, so his opinion is invalid on that subject.
Holy crap, just clicked on Furry-GAF by accident...
Didn't even know such a thing existed on here. >.>
Don't say shit in there, they are one of the more sensitive groups on gaf and you will get banned quicker than shit.
Hyperbole aside, that's all they play. Halo is all both of them have played. I've known them since the IGN forums.
Then don't idle?
