"We actually have new tools now to detect that and eventually, people who do this habitually will actually be penalised," Bungie Community Manager told Xbox 360 Achievements. "We want to be able to remove them from the population so they can't make everyone else keep having a bad time."

I'm missing something for sure. The game developer wants to enforce staying in a losing game?
In StarCraft I love a good rage quit ... means I can rack up the win and requeue faster! :)

Bit unfair to force people to stay in a game, especially when your mum might be nagging you to get off.

That sounds like a problem with the stat system then.
Using my current obsession as an example, there is next to no benefit to surrendering the match early in StarCraft other than finding a better game - if it costs you a lost match then it sucks in every way. All that matters in the end is did you get the win.
Bungie probably have too many retarded achievements and stats in their ranking system (smells like kill ratio fo sho) that encourages quitting a difficult match, rather than promoting successful completion of the main game's objectives.

my quakelive stats would make you think i rage-quit a lot coz i often quit mid-game.... but it's got nothing to do with rage. i quit when there is something actually worthwhile to go do :P
that said... i never play halo so i don't really care that much :D

Yeah but Halo players mums are always nagging someone to get them off so they can either call another bloke or wait.

Why should the company tell you how to play its game ?
Its an attack on gamers rights.

as has been said, making someone rage quit is great. tf2 has an achievement for it ffs.
forcing people to endure something they're not enjoying is an awesome way to keep players...
I don't understand the logic behind this at all.

Although in hon their leaver % is recorded. Often people permanently disconnect though and you lose.
Dunno about Halo though.

In something like RTS/SC2 for example, you know when you are beaten and there is no possible comeback (for example you have no army and there are 50 dudes in your base and being reinforced - with no expansion set up as a secondary base).
In the end, its worse when people fly or start putting pylons etc. all over the map just to play egg hunt for the win and delaying/wasting time unnecessarily.
In a FPS, why would you want to play against someone who plays competitively for example when you only play an hour on a weekend of something?
Furthermore, this will not stop ragequitting, people will just rage-afk.
