  • Bungie plan to penalise Halo: Reach rage-quitters

    Click image for larger version Name: Halo-Reach.jpg Views: 1 Size: 120.4 KB ID: 596285 It seems that developers are starting to get serious about making sure that the online experience they deliver is fun, and remains fun. We know EA Sports has some anti-rage-quit measures in mind for FIFA 2011, and now Bungie's Brian Jarrard has come out and let their intentions be known on the topic: "people who do this habitually will actually be penalised."


    He goes as far as to say that Bungie "want to be able to remove them from the population so they can't make everyone else keep having a bad time." He acknowledges that of course that rage-quitting isn't cheating, "but it creates a really negative experience for everybody else in the game."

      im not really that fused seeing that it is just halo play it for a month then trade it in for something better ^_^
      I dont think Rage quiting a FPS is really that big a deal unless it is a small team game of 5 vs 5 or really a clan battle, but when it happens in a normal Team Deathmatch the spot is usually filled with in seconds anyway.

This final video developer diary for F1 2011 features Senior Producer Paul Jeal and Chief Games Designer Stephen Hood, talking about those aforementioned season updates.
