if you start playing a game..knowing the length of a match and the things that go with it..a person that might have to leave for any reason should not even start the match...bungie does not care for ur reasons..they know it sucks for a lewzer to quit leaving teamates to pick up the slack...im glad they are finally doing something about it...and as for the people with the crappy ISPs...getting booted offline...go play modern warfare and leave the halo to the decently connected...as i said..bungie doesnt give a rats arse about ur whinning and ur connection problems..they care about fair and balanced gameplay [Edited on 05.08.2010 12:13 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] IOHIGOD Frankly, the proposed quitter system sucks. No one cares about credits, or a 15 minute ban. I can hardly get through a game without someone quitting, and unless you're playing swat, snipers, or a rare game of stock slayer, the team that is down a man loses. Period. So excuse me if I'm not jumping for joy that the 10 year old kid that ruins my record, my k/d ratio, and possibly my arena rating is going to get a 15 minute ban.[/quote] 3 words. join. in. progress.

Oh god please take a second look at that voting system. Pull people out of the damned post-carnage report/armory/playing with themselves and force them to vote (like the Blur beta's voting system)or their votes do not count. I'm sick of playing stockpile 6 or 7 times in a row in grabbag because 3/4 or a lobby are playing with what armor they want to wear.

Okay, the quitting penalty is stupid. Some of us have lives, things to do, and sometimes people have emergencies in which they must leave and don't have time to finish the match. Halo is the only game I know of that penalizes people for having to quit a match. Lame.

Hey bungie, i have a problem with the booting system. I like that its there, but it seems a little confusing to me. I never betray people on purpose, but when that "luck of the draw" situation happens and i do accidentally kill a poor innocent teammate. I get booted instantly, just for an accidental betrayal that happens once in one game. And yet when someone betrays me, i rarely get the option to boot them. I just ask that for the option to boot, the crappy teammate must betray a teammate at least 2 times before the option to boot them is given, or send me a message about how exactly the current system works so i can avoid accidentally killing a teammate in the future. Any help given would be greatly appreciated. P.S. Thank you so much for addressing the melee. That was getting annoying.
-
The only complaint i MIGHT have is that there shouldn't be a radar jammer when invisible... you just shouldn't show up on the radar.
-
Nice update!! Keep up the great work!!
-
already doubled the H3 Beta population? wow, impressive :D thx for putting my [i]the tank[/i] screenshot into this update, bungie ^-^
-
So, for the "quitter ban", what happens to the team the quitters left behind? do they get more credits if they win or do they lose less when they lose the game? Just a thought.
-
The grav hammer is alright and all, but I've been told that there is no brutes on the game... so how can there be grav hammers??? [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] urk And now it's time for the breakdown. [url=/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_050710] click for full story [/url][/quote]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] li archangel il Nice update Urk. I was glad to hear about Stockpile being fixed.[/quote] This and the scree shot contest got me interested. Thank you Si Urk! -CM

No news on the "no sound for everyone else on split-screen while someone is invisible glitch?" Oh yeah, and I don't think quiting would be such an issue if the matchmaking system could pull people into your game...kinda like that other FPS...I was really hoping Active Roster was going to help in this situation by letting you join games in-progress.
-
Nice update Urk. I was glad to hear about Stockpile being fixed.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] urk Hope [b]you've enjoy[/b] the first few days of the Beta[/quote]:)

Look at all those great fixes! So glad you guys have a beta! Thanks for promising a grenade fix. I still think you should distinguish the dots on the motion tracker a little more though. :P
-
Nice update just what i wanted to here, good old Banhammer :D Im loveing Invasion!!!
-
Moxus, you see, sometimes hackers can just join a custom game then they have access to someone. This would mean a hacker could just walk in to your post-invite only game and do what they want. And, this could attract harrassment, if you've got them out of your party, doesn't mean they can't just join your game. And besides, Halo isn't MW2.
-
I swear I hear the announcer say funny stuff at the end of Invasion, I haven't heard the "You Suck" voice message yet, but I heard this at the end.. The elite announcer said: They fought in unusual conduct, they're hiding something! Then the announcer replied.. "Shut up!" I checked in theatre, and when I first heard it it sounded like Skuntor but I'm pretty sure it's this. Anyone else hear the announcer backsass at the elites?
-
but about armour lock, that ability has waaaay too much strength/s, EMP a vehicle, take of an opponents shield, protect from everything, recharge own shields, activate instantly and multiple times and lasts as long as it does. I am just saying in my opinion it needs a bit of balancing. anybody else agree?
-
Wouldn't it just be easier to allow people to join Matchmaking games in progress? That way, if someone quits, so what? Someone else can join and take their place. It's a system that works perfectly well in MW2 and other large titles, and one which would serve better than one which could ban innocent people whose internet quit out too many times. What I'm trying to say is that, IMO, the new Banhammer is too militant and draconian a strategy for taking care of habitual quitters; the potential for banning people who simply quit too many times, or whose internet cut out, makes it seem too extreme for a game with a focus on fun. -=Moxus=-
-
Are you guys going to update the beta before you take it down?
-
Nice solution for quitters with a banhammer punishment. Just hope it's precise and not swing-happy.
-
Awesome update! Are there going to be more emblems in the final game. You don't have the Marathon emblem and don't have the old Dreamcatcher background from Halo 3.
