Why do people quit halfway through the game?

Made an account in 2006. Visited Bungie.net in 2005. Joined Xbox Live in 2005. It's amazing to see how the site, Bungie, and Halo have evolved over the years. Utterly amazing.

it madders, like do they have to go ofline. that would be ok. But if its like, the other team cheat. Is ok. And if they're losing and quit, they suck.

i hate in team hardcore when its like team ball or something if someone on your team quits its pretty much over for your team.

I hate when drivers/gunners of a warthog randomly bail.

Sorry, but you spelled "they're" wrong. It bothers me for some reason to see that.

Anyway, I hate when people quit after one lost round in an Assault/one flag CTF match. The first round is lost, so half the team quits, then the other half quits because now it's pointless. That annoys me.

I also hate it when one person quits, so everybody else quits. The domino effect has ruined games of mine in the first thirty seconds.

Most of all, I hate it in Big Team Battle when a person with three guests is on your team, and they end up quitting/being booted. Your team is automatically reduced by half.

If people quit for a legitimate reason, fine, but that's probably a small portion.

Because they're limp-wristed girly-men with no spine.

im only bothered by people who quit when theyre loosing and only for that reason, i dont understand why people quit when theres like 1 min left because thats not a long time to just hang around and 'finish the fight'. but what really bothers me above anything else (other than standbyers and superjumpers) is when people quit when there are 5 secs left of a game oe even after the announcer says game over! it happens after almost every of my games, we have to wait in blue screen for maybe 2 mins longer instead of going into anoither match because some selfish spineless person decides to leave the games 1 sec before its over to annoy other people. why do they do it? because they lost? do they not loose rank? or is it simply to annoy people? if its in an unranked game its even worse because it was just for fun and there is no rank to loose, why punish people because you lost?

You seem to be forgetting that Xbox Live anonymity gives people all the powers of a raging 2 year old's Id.

Screaming about people hacking the game, lag, etc are all regular occurances there (and the real reason why very few people actually chat during games). So why do they do it? Because they can, and you must remember that you don't actually exist in their little world. Only they do. It's the whole sociopath thing, read up on it. And for some amusing source material, the internets have coughed up a fine example.

Yes we've all seen it before, but really can you see it enough? ;)

Somebody had a bad day. Sometimes they lag out. Sometimes the power goes out. Sometimes a sibbling pulls the plug. Sometimes they spill something on the outlet. Sometimes you gotta eat and your 12 and you don't wanna back sas your dad. There are plenty of reasons man just chill
