Quit Probation
We talked about it last week, but talk is cheap. Quit Probation and Penalties are now being meted out in the Beta, much to the chagrin of people who apparently keep lengthy lists of legitimate reasons to quit that simultaneously weren’t legit enough to last more than 15 minutes. Yeah.

Anyway, last week we called the punitive actions for quitting a multitude of games a Quit Ban. Today, we’re revising the nomenclature to more suitably describe what’s really going on. Because we’re fickle like that.

Quit too many games and we’ll put you on a week long “probation.” Consider that a warning, not a ban. If you quit another game during your probationary period, however, you’ll be required to sit out of Matchmaking for fifteen whole entire minutes.

If you had a legitimate reason to step away, likely this won’t be seen as a severe punishment. One might imagine you may not even notice. You’ll be legitimately away doing something legitimately important while your fifteen stinkin’ minutes of shame slip away completely unnoticed by anyone.

Of course, if you’ve just jumped out because you didn’t like the way things were working out in a CTF match, making those very same things that weren’t working out work out way worse for everyone else, you’ll probably feel every minute of the timeout as you mash the A button in hopes of getting a fresh start. Then you’ll make a post to our feedback forums to let everybody know that you had an exceedingly legitimate reason to step away. “How dare u, bungee?!” If that’s the position you find yourself in, my advice is to return to the preceding paragraph above. We’ve already got your use case covered.

If you’re being routinely disconnected from Xbox LIVE and now you’re feeling the pain more than ever, this would be an opportune time to phone up technical support and finally resolve your issues. A solid connection is better for everyone involved. While you’re rooting around, you should check your NAT settings, too. Maybe think about upgrading your firmware.

All in all, these penalties amount to little more than a brief respite for those that find themselves on probation. 15 minutes for each game you quit. Of course, there’s always Phase Two, but should you happen to find yourself marked as an Extra Special Case, well, let’s just say that you’ve already been warned and you won’t want to be privy to the fine details on this front. Finish your games, please.

or else what?? is it a case by case thing? they spend to much time trying to be clever and not enough time laying out the rules. probably why Halo fans are so pretentious...
