The quiters are making me mad. I mean, I have had people quit when the score was 2-1. I know some people have to leave to go some place, but almost every other game this happens. This happened all day today. And I just don't get it. There where alot of times where we could of came back and won, but people just quit. So heres my idea, why not just take the quit option out of ranked? If people have to leave they will turn off there xbox. This is a really big problem.

hmm, when I'm outnumbered, I usually seem to have the magical ability to pull skill out of my ass. I have had some good times when it was like 2v4

I agree, I was playing, it was 3-1, had 10 to win, and 2 of my team quit, So the whole game was 2 Against 4, Me and my friend just stayed to be nice, and we almost won, But my control disconnected when i was about to shotgun him and win :(, we all had a good laugh after, So the games was 10-9 their way, But still, If we had 4 people we could have won, But it was fun to try :P

They don't need to switch of their box. They just disconnect it from their network or reset their router/modem.

But yes, quitting is a problem. I like to play long games (10-19 rounds), but often someone quits in the early stages of the match. Why are they joining a > 10 round match, when they don't intend to finish it? I don't get it. And yes, I check the recent players list in the Xbox-Guide, and nearly always the quitter is playing in another match.

Yeah, They can't handle to loose, Like, They are too attached to the game, Like it's life, If they loose, They fail, if they fail, Well, They fail in life as well, And when people that want to quit, But don't want bad rep, they stay and loose, They say "aw, at least I don't play this 24/7 getting good at the game, I have a life" Well If i don't have a life, your sad, or mentally ill, cause your talking to a dead person

it's kinda funny, when the odds are against you, you seem to be able to fight better even going for the win..

Quitters/Leavers have been around since online games began and no change you make to the interface will stop them from doing it. It can be frustrating, but maybe if you looked at it in a different light you wouldn't get so mad. Now I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I "like" when people leave, but I certainly don't get upset about it. Why? Because I take it as a challenge. Think of it as a way to improve your game. I don't think there's anything as satisfying as winning when you're shorthanded, especially when you score a lot of points. The key when you're shorthanded is to work as a team and stick together.

On the other hand, if someone from the other team quits I usually take the opportunity to practice with weapons that I need practice with. The first weapon I started with was the shotgun (yes I was a chainsaw noob when I started). Next was the Torque Bow and Sniper rifle, now I'm on the pistol. It's amazing how much I have improved with these weapons from those little "Practice" sessions. I now take the sniper rifle every chance I get and I'm pretty decent with it.

Ask yourself this: What control do I have whether or not someone stays in the game? Exactly. So what point is there in getting mad about it?

I hope this helps :)
