Maybe you could have an option to get the game to check out what your connection to the potential host would be, so you could cut out getting matched up with Japanese/brazilian/aussie hosts? I dont have anything against them apart from irritation at being well outta sync with em, and I suspect the feeling would go both ways depending on who got host.
I wouldn't derive any satisfaction from stomping a bunch of guys who were one barring. Well, I'd feel guilty about it at least.

Exactly. Just because somebody "paid" for a game does not give them the right to damage another players quality of gaming. The gaming world has become far too selfish if people believe they can do what they want without thinking about all the others they are damaging with their actions.
You wouldn't pay to go swimming and then pee in the pool with the argument "i paid to come here, i can do what i want"...... -

Actually, having worked as a lifeguard at a large waterpark for many summers, you would be surprised at what people think they can do because they paid to get in...
But back on topic, there is no way to fairly punish people who quit in the middle of games. I think I talked about implementing penalties for quitting last week with a couple regulars, and came to the conclusion that we must change peoples attitudes, not the game.
So no, I dont think that they will ever penalize quitters. -
Of course, I can see why it's bothersome to most people that people end up quitting, but as an example from actually having to do so sometimes people just have to leave. Something comes up and they can't finish the game and end up having to leave. My mom backed into my car the other day and well I had no choice but to leave. I wasn't hosting, and I'm not sure if it stalls the game, but I don't think it does... but still things happen. But I'm not defending everyone who ends up quitting, yes there are some sore losers out there who are only in it to win it and if they keep getting killed they will leave. Which sucks, but it's life. Myself play for the love of the game and just for the fun of it even if I do suck at playing. (new to COD

Hmm...by your logic, spawn trappers should be penalized since they ruin the other team's game. (yes, I am against these ass holes)
Campers should be penalized because they sometimes ruin the game. (if you hate campers, you seriously suck at the game)
Rushers should be penalized because they can sometimes ruin the game.
And if you think the quit button should be removed, consider this:
-Have to take a sh*t/piss badly? oh well, have to wait till the game ends or find some spot to lay down at and risk being killed 10 times.
-Phone rings? Can't quit, so gotta find a spot to sit at and risk being killed 5 times. Long phone call? Have fun being spawn killed 20 times.
-Have to go somewhere? Say good bye to anything you earned mid-match.
Jesus...out of everything people complain about, they MUST whine about the quit button.
I think its less the existance of it, more the overuse of it. Anyhoo, if the other team is spawn trapping to complete the objective unhindered, that is fair. If people are camping, then that is fine as we are still playing we just have to adjust our approach. However when 4 people back out because a CG or some Dogs got called in, that is NOT cool as the 2 guys who were sporting enough to carry on are suddenly left to bear the full brunt. And tbh they usually leave when they realise this and I cant blame them.
So, by your logic, camping and spawn trapping, both scenarios in which YOU ARE STILL PLAYING THE GAME, are as bad as that? 4 sore losers wrecking a game for the other 8 who still wanted to play it? Dont think so.
btw, when caught short by a call of nature or whatnot, I've always found a spot to hide. I have yet to die from doing this, I even pulled it off on NUKETOWN

Microsoft put an AVOID choice on their console. If you lookk you will see one of the choices is unsportsman like conduct followed by "leaving the game early". Use that choice and it affects their rep online.
Game companies will not do anything drastic to the players because THAT CHIOCE is already on the Xbox for that reason.
What if the game itself displayed the users rep in their stats? People would take rep more seriously.
Rep is never going to be taken seriously.. In fact, if you have a higher percentage of players avoiding you it's probably a good thing - Because if you're hated, you're doing something right It's such a useless feature though. -
i know some call of dutyies you get penalized for playing about 30 minutes or so whenever you rage quit a lot. I know I've done it several times tonight, because I'd get spawn killed constantly. So, I take the loss over getting pissed off that the opposing team is camping the spawn point just to get kills so easily with out challenges. otherwise, I've got no problem with people killing me with skill.
