Hard punishments in Halo: Reach

No abandoning games allowed!
Petter Mårtensson 2 August 2010

Are you prone to abandoning online games that are not going in your favor? Or do you just hate people that seem to constantly do that? Well, Bungie don't like it either and plan to penalise people that keep doing it in Halo: Reach.

"I think one of the new things people will be excited about 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," community manager Brian Jarrad told website Xbox 360 Achievements in an interview.

"We actually have new tools now to detect that and eventually, people who do this habitually will actually be penalised. We want to be able to remove them from the population so they can't make everyone else keep having a bad time."
