Gamers who quit multi-player Halo Reach games repeatedly because they're losing will be punished under new plans revealed by Bungie. Community Director of Bungie, Brian Jarrard, said "gamers who habitually quit games in Halo Reach, released on September 14, will receive a virtual boot up and ass."
People who quit out (not officially cheating) spoil the game for other players. Bungie have new tools that can detect persistent offenders and 'remove' them from the gaming population.
With over 2.7 million online gamers having already tested the beta level of the latest Halo title.
Set on planet Reach, the game will revolve around the Noble squadron of Spartans, a breed of human super soldiers whose mission is to save the planet from the infiltrating group of alien races known as the Covenant. Many Halo fans will already know how Reach ends, with the planets destruction, as this is where the original Halo title kicks off.
Introducing a new Call of Duty style ranking system for online multiplayer modes, Halo Reach will also bring in a credit reward system that allows users to purchase equipment from the armoury with funds garnered through successful gameplay.
Bungie have hinted that Halo Reach will be the last game in the Halo series - only time will tell, what do you think?
