If youâre one of those who dashboards out of multiplayer after getting backstabbed or headshot three times, take note: Bungie told Xbox 360 Achievements that it wants to remove ragequitters from the population so they wonât ruin everyone elseâs fun.
Brian Jarrard, the Bungie community director, said the measures will be âone of the new things people will be excited about. [Ragequitting] isnât exactly cheating, but it creates a really negative experience for everybody else in the game.â
Jarrard didnât get much more specific, just said that they have advanced ragequit recognition heuristics to make sure theyâre not cracking down on people who accidentally drop their net connection. The penalties themselves were not discussed, so itâs unclear whether this is a ban, a timeout, or a special temper-tantrum lobby where ragequitters can ragequit on each other.
âWe actually have new tools now to detect that and eventually, people who do this habitually will actually be penalized,â Jarrard said, âWe want to be able to remove them from the population so they canât make everyone else keep having a bad time.â
Just so long as I can still ragequit out of singleplayer.
