Zugzwang Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 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.

Not trying to sound like a jackass or troll, but I have no idea what you're talking about with these two things. I have never had either one of these things happen to me. I've played over 100 games so I think that's a pretty good sample size. Could you perhaps elaborate on what happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugzwang Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 The topic that inspired this thread can be found here: https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst134952_HALO-4-DNF-MULTIPLAYER.aspx Basically right after a game, if you don't exit fast enough, (for example, watch the level up animation) you'll continue with the next game. It doesn't give you enough time to quit without showing up as a DNF. In H3, there was no penalty DNF if you quit while the game was still searching for players. Halo 4 however, DOES count it as a DNF if you leave while the game is searching for other players. And that happens WAY too fast after the previous game. There's not enough time between the end of the last game, and the start of another. That's the point. I understand how it sounds, try looking on waypoint in your service record and see how many you have. I may have legitimately quit 4 games since I got it. I have well over 12 which is junk.

I can't comment on the DNF but the loadout system is legit. Every game that I start in a new mode (MM, campaign, OPS, etc) I have to reset it to the way I want and it is getting old really quick.

The Director Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I think you may be under the impression that the moderators here work with/for 343 industries and/or Microsoft. This is not the case, as this is a community forum. However, we're pretty good at helping people out. Post your Did Not Finish issue here: https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst130475_Issues-being-investigated.aspx Hopefully, this will gain it the attention that it needs to be fixed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugzwang Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 @ The Director. So let me get this straight. This is nothing like bioware forums where the devs, mods, developers, etc actually read what's wrong with the game? No corporate number, no customer supt number available online, AND when you call xbl they say "we didn't make the game, what do you want from us?" Pffttt. Color me surprised. I only signed up so i could get this the attention it deserves for the community, and no one here even works at 343?! I'm out. Take care guys, I'm starting to get Mass Effect 3 flashbacks.
