Bungie plans to punish rage-quitters in Halo: Reach
By
-August 3, 2010
Bungie doesn’t like jackasses. Halo 3 was the first game to have an “asshole” button; the ability to mute individual players who shit-talk a little too much online. Again taking a pioneering role in the fight against undisciplined 12-year old boys, Halo: Reach community manager Brian Jarrard says that the developer plans to punish players who habitually quit matches early. ”Rage-quitters” are a pain; they ruin matches by screwing up balancing in any team-based game. While leaving a game early may not be a big deal to some, for players who care about their stats, quitting is a cardinal sin and rage-quitters are the worst of the worst because they might quit from many games in a row if they’re having a bad day.
Jerrard, speaking to Xbox360Achievements.org, said; “I think one of the new things people will be excited about too, is how we’re going to be able to penalize 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… We want to be able to remove them from the population so they can’t make everyone else keep having a bad time.”
The question is, what exactly does he mean by “penalize”? Will Bungie be banning people, possibly for having a life outside of video games? Probably not. Realistically, Bungie’s wrath will come in the form of a mandatory cool-down period, which would punish rage-quitters without hurting people who simply have to leave.
