Bungie to penalize habitual Halo: Reach quitters

Quitters beware! Bungie has plans for you in Halo: Reach, and they don’t involve kittens or cake. Or anything nice, for that matter.

Quitters beware! Bungie has plans for you in Halo: Reach, and they don’t involve kittens or cake. Or anything nice, for that matter. The studio is now working on a system to penalize habitual quitters in Reach matches.

“I think one of the new things people will be excited about too, is how we’re going to be able to penalise people who are habitually quitting out of games, which isn’t exactly cheating, but it creates a really negative experience for everybody else in the game,” said Bungie’s community director, Brian Jarrard.

“We actually have new tools now to detect that and eventually, people who do this habitually will actually be penalised,” Jarrard explained further. “We want to be able to remove them from the population so they can’t make everyone else keep having a bad time.”

Halo: Reach comes out this September exclusively on Xbox 360.
