Penalized for abandoning a game (1v1 ladder.) Here's what happened. I click accept and we're both green. And we're both green. And I'm waiting. Why isn't this putting me in the lobby? After about a minute of waiting, I relaunch and it asks if I'd like to reconnect. I click yes, but it doesn't. I try to go back in, and it tells me I've been penalized. Dafuq? I used to put up with lobby lag, but now I guess I'm joining the charge to completely redo the lobbies.
welcome to a non polished system, this might be rude but you'll have to deal with crap like this and submit a bug report if that's your thing.
Halo the MCC released with an absolutely broken matchmaking, and that's with a AAA developer that has thousands of dollars backed by Microsoft. Just saying, besides matchmaking wasn't even a goal, it's an extra added in. I'm pretty happy it's in in the first place.
to be honest that problem while it should have taken you into the lobby, the way of penalizing you if you restart/disconnect from the match makes sense so people don't abuse the matchmaking...
