I tried using the search term "dnf" and it said since it was only 3 letters it wouldn't allow it? meh. As most of you know by now, if you watch the exp level after you rank up, and decide to leave, you've received a DNF, even though you didn't quit. You didn't quit b/c it said "searching", not "ready" or had a full stack of players yet. Apparently 343 didn't get the memo. I know this is unacceptable for most ppl, so since this is an obvious flaw, I suggest that 343 basically reset all DNF's that can be traced to within a minute from the lobby with some kind of TU or whatever. Also, while I'm at it, what's up with having to redo your layouts once you change from one category in MM to another? I got my butt handed to me b/c all my starting weapons were AR's. Seriously. I don't want to turn this into a bash 343 thread. I like this game better than reach by far. I think the maps lack a certain "flow", and then there's the obvious DMR hate going around, but overall... Oh yeah, one other thing I have to say. For those that don't read the books, it would've been nice if 343 had fleshed out the story better with the Didact. I mean when you have to look up an explanation for the ending, that kinda stinks. ~serenity now~ I feel better, but basically lets try and keep this on the front page until a mod or someone adresses it plz? I'm sure I'm not the first person to bring up the dnf issue, but since I can't search for it...derp. Also I did type did not finish, nada there also.

Hey everyone, I know I have some "crazy" ideas but this one might get some support and it's something I want to see happen. Everyone knows that quitters create quite the problem for both teams. This suggestion might ease the pain of the remaining few after the quitters have left. Let us say that you are playing arena and all of a sudden half your team quits. Now, this is Arena so this round is going to affect your rank, no matter what. There needs to be a formula or ratio that is running while the game is going that keeps track of the score and the amount of people that have quit. This ratio would see how each team is doing based on score, whether this is capture the flag, oddball, slayer...whatever. Now, let us say that if you start out with 4 people on each team, kills to 50. You spawn in and rush rockets - snipe - whatever and teammate D quits because he didn't get the sniper. Now we all think, well that's fine it is the beginning of the game, everything is tied, there is no way for this to get out of hand already. The ratio is keeping track of this, the score is tied and there is one person gone. So the game continues, everything is going ok, you could possibly be winning, when BAM, out of nowhere teammate C betrays teammate A for the rockets. Teammate A decides, well that ***** can suck it, and boots his ass. Now it is 2 vs 4, and the ratio is starting to get wonked because there are less players and the score is getting tipsy. You start to die alot because 2 vs 4 does not usually end in a win for the 2. and here comes the crazy part. I PROPOSE THAT IF THE RATIO BETWEEN PEOPLE THAT QUIT AND THE SCORE GETS OUT OF A CERTAIN RANGE, THAT THE ROUND WILL NOT COUNT TOWARDS YOUR TRUE-SKILL RANK. now this is important as well FOR EITHER TEAM. I know this sounds nuts but hear me out. The true-skill meter is based on your performance during the game. What the true skill meter does not take into account is the amount of people either on your team or the other team that quit. So lets say you go a 1709 where your team had 4 vs 1. This 1750 SHOULD NOT COUNT towards your rank/true skill because it does not accurately judge your true-skill. Now lets say you went a 780 that round because you were the 1 vs 4 because your teammates were too weak to finish the game. This is not your true-skill either because the other team had an unfair advantage. Now let us say you win and you were the 1 vs 4. But I beat all of them even though they outnumbered me. because i killed them with my awesome. Well obviously the opponents you faced where not the same skill level you were anyway, therefore the true-skill ranking had failed at matching you. Even though this may sound like a downfall, it really isn't the worst possible thing. and it is something I personally could deal with. questions? comments?
