If you’re 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 won’t ruin everyone else’s fun.
Brian Jarrard, the Bungie community director, said the measures will be “one of the new things people will be excited about. [Ragequitting] isn’t exactly cheating, but it creates a really negative experience for everybody else in the game.”
Jarrard didn’t get much more specific, just said that they have advanced ragequit recognition heuristics to make sure they’re not cracking down on people who accidentally drop their net connection. The penalties themselves were not discussed, so it’s unclear whether this is a ban, a timeout, or a special temper-tantrum lobby where ragequitters can ragequit on each other.
“We actually have new tools now to detect that and eventually, people who do this habitually will actually be penalized,” Jarrard said, “We want to be able to remove them from the population so they can’t make everyone else keep having a bad time.
