why do people constantly leave matches?

i dont get it

Some are kicked by EAC for no reason. That migh be a reason for them to appear in the log as "quitting the match". Some might get disconnected. But definitely EAC kicking legit multiplayer players and issuing a temporary ban to them for no reason is a huge problem (at least in social matchmaking this is happening). I have no idea if in competitive matchmaking this happens as well...

mp has always been iffy in this, and partly why I haven't bothered with it in a long time.

This is a long time bug that has not seen the light of fix yet. And is destroying the multiplayer side of the game. Its not fun to run a 3 or 2 man team on a 4 man Firefight match because half your team got kicked by EAC for absolutely no reason...

Playerbase is full of sore losers, people will blame tons of things but really, most of the time people leave at the drop of a hat

Are you sure thats the only reason? Because I am not...

i think its bandwidth or the internet traffic for the internet plan the users computer is connected to

Also depends on the host server (most host servers are from the US so players from Europe might experience issues with connecting as well).

That’s really strange since other games that use EAC don’t seem to have this problem on such a large scale

Last time this happened to me was a few days ago...kicked and temporary 3 min ban for no reason...

That’s what I originally thought but this game is not very popular in Europe from what I understand, and despite selling really well on Steam, a lot of players just let MCC sit in their library. I play on KBM and I wanna say that around 95-99% of the players I’ve played with in this game are on Xbox console. I know you can play MP on steam with a controller but if I check the recent player lists on the Xbox app, they’re always Xbox console players.

And so many of them show that they’re from a NA region. I don’t think I’ve ever played against a European player in MCC like ever

MCC is mostly popular in the US. Not as much in Europe. It is hard for us, European players, to find servers that match our ping so we really have to pray to the Forerunners our internet connection is good that day...

Damn. Microsoft really needs to step up their server game especially since it’s very clear to me people are getting kicked even on console, and they’re planning on bringing Xbox games to PlayStation. I wouldn’t be shocked if MCC was one of them but it would suck if multiplayer ended up the way it has on PC

[ModerNertum]

The problem is legit players getting kicked for no reason and that hurts the team, regardless of the mode you are playing and if it is social or competitive. Imagine 4 player Firefight. Someone gets dced and the other player kicked for no reason because EAC decided to go awire that day. Now you are a team double on a firefight social matchmade mode made for 4 players so that hurts the experience and enjoyment...its even worse for PVP multiplayer modes...

crashes happen sure, but a lot of the issue exists between the chair and the keyboard/controller
