In an effort to improve the overall player experience, Gears 5 has rolled out a new penalty system for people who quit multiplayer matches early. Gears of War communications boss Dana Sissons announced that the penalty system went live on October 9.

It didn't take long for the new system to take action, as one player was banned for nearly two years for repeated quitting (but more on that later).

"You've been warned," Sissons said regarding the new quitting penalties, which only apply to ranked matches. In another tweet, Sissons said, "We can all agree that quitters ruin the game for everyone, so this is just the first step down that path."

Developer The Coalition said in its own tweet that the ban periods for quitters will depend on prior behaviour. The worst offenders may face bans of a year or longer.

"Quitters have been receiving month to year long suspensions for prior behavior. This is how long you can be suspended for being a rampant quitter," the studio said. "Take heed. Over the next few hours, impacted users will be un-suspended, but 1 quit away from suspension. You have been warned."

Some have called out The Coalition for being too harsh with its penalty system for quitters. Any number of things can require a person to leave their console/PC and address something happening in the real world. Or a player's internet connection may drop, for any number of different reasons that aren't related to intentionally quitting.

Thankfully, then, Gears 5 multiplayer allows players who drop a connection to re-join. Additionally, Gears 5 has a behind-the-scenes system that allows players to work off the strikes against their account in the case of one-time quitting.

One Gears 5 player was reportedly banned for 640 days. However, the full story is that this person quit 18 of the 21 Escalation matches they played in the previous 24 hours.

In other news, Microsoft's new game-streaming service--xCloud--opened today for public trials, and Gears 5 is one of the supported titles.

Do you quit multiplayer games often? If so... watch out!

That is pretty harsh. I hate quitters but they spent money on the game too.

Eh, fuck em.

I've been banned at almost 2 hours on Smash Bros (sometimes I turned off the power after losing an online tournament, but before I got my participation prize. It became a habit for regular online where it's okay to do so.) I don't know how I'd feel if I got a 2 year ban.

That is way to harsh and batshit insane, a ban of 2 years should only be done to a hacker or cheater not a quitter.

Unless they love the campaign, it might as well be a brick.

It's only rank, a bit harsh still. Maybe a few months, and or weeks?

For real though, why even join matches if you're going to quit out of the vast majority of them. I wonder what petty reason they had.

More video games need to do this - even in non-ranked matches.

I disagree. I much prefer the system where instead of banning them, these players only get paired up with each other in matches. Much more satisfying to think of them raging because their opponents keep quitting on them.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

Mutliplayer is a joke whether it's ranked or unranked. People should be able to quit for whatever reason. It's really not that big of a deal.

I mean, I'm all in favor of punishing ragequitters, but that is fucked. Penalties should escalate like

1.) Warning
2.) Warning + EXP/Rank decrease (or whatever gears uses for "leveling up")
3.) 30 minute ban
4.) 60 minute ban
5.) 24 hour ban
6.) 72 hour ban
7.) 1 week ban
8.) 2 week ban

All the while, each "strike" should drop after maybe a week or so - some period of time to prevent people from ragequitting too much. Plus the addition of the "working off the strikes" system or whatever.

If you want to quit for whatever reason don't play ranked. That's meant to be where the hardcore players go.
