Subject: Why do you quit? Now gathering statistics!

All the above?

I quit when...
- We are heavily outnumbered and have no fighting chance
- My team is greatly inexperienced
- grief players, AFK players, and/or betrayer players
- I loose connection
- I get my daily/weekly challenge (just MAYBE!)
- I have chores or homework to do...

Quitting is an art for me in Reach.

[X] My teammates are griefing, betraying each other, or betraying me.

[X] Rage quit for other reason. (What else causes you to rage quit? Explain below)
[X] Other, please explain......

Maps:
oh I have no problem quitting in a game like derp reach. For maps I refuse to play on hemorrhage more than once every time I log on if I'm playing BTB. That map is terrible, once is enough. If it gets voted in again i just quit at the beginning and find a better lobby of players who vote for a more reasonable map that is actually fun to play on.

Gametypes:
I will never ever ever EVER play Elite slayer. Tell me why I must play a stupid gametype like elite slayer that forces me to be an elite? I chose to be a spartan why should the game force me to be a derp dino. no just no, that gametype is terrible. Keep elites in terribad invasion where they belong.

Teammates:
If they aren't playing (like AFK, betraying, or not taking the match serious) or just plain bad, like so bad they can't even get a single kill I leave. I don't like wasting my time on pointless matches.

Lag:
Surprise surprise reach but your network sucks compared to halo 3's!!! Nowhere in halo 3 does the game go black screen so much in the middle of a match or at the beginning for me than reach. Why on earth does reach throw me into terrible red and yellow bar matches at random where the players are clearly terrible but the lag is so bad for me I can't even spawn. I leave those matches with no hesitation. MW3 has lag issues but sometimes Reach can trump that fail bar.

Other:
I have a 3 deaths rule. Kind of a "3 strikes you're done just leave" rule. If I'm not playing with friends and the beginning of the match I am killed 3 times or more in a row without getting a single kill yet I insta leave. I call BS and move on. This is really rare for me but most of the times those matches are related to having afk teammates or plain and simple bad lag matches. Either way I don't waste my time in compromised matches.

For the record. I've been quit banned multiple times (the 10 min ban) but you know what? I've never served the 10 min time . . . ever. Why you ask? I simply log out, log back in to another account and keep playing =) Reach gets the big middle finger thinking it can stop me from quitting terrible matches and maps. If I don't want to play it I'll leave and no penalty will ever get in my way.

[X]RAGE

Was on -blam!- Headlong, in the Gauss turret, retarded driver makes a retarded decision and tried to drive over a point which would inevitably result with us wrecking. I was in the turret again later, and said to him "DO NOT GET IN THE DRIVER. DON'T GET IN." What did this 6 year old (at least he sounded like that) do? Yup, he got in the driver seat and did the EXACT SAME -blam!- THING. I RAGED SO HARD. Later I was in the turret again with a different driver, who, in the middle of the battlefield, got out and wandered off, leaving me to be grenaded to death.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGeeee quit

Why do you quit games?

Please copy and paste the following list into your reply in this thread, and type an X in any box that applies to reasons that you frequently quit games. Check as many items as applies to you. (This is for Multiplayer, not Firefight)

Later, I'm going to add up all the tallies and determine the most common causes of quitting in Matchmaking.


Don't judge or trashtalk people in this thread based on their responses, this will pressure people into being dishonest and I want to be as accurate as possible.

The only time you've quit on my team is when Simon's betrayal booted you after we make you go -10.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

When people vote for Dino Blasters, When lag is untolerable or when I have to do something else, I always try to finish my games though.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

I started a game I didn't have time to finish.

Several of my teammates have already quit.

My teammates are griefing, and betraying me.

Video games stopped even being remotely about skill after the SNES. Recharging health, checkpoints, unlimited lives.

I'll take you back to Battletoads and TMNT and you'll beg to return to the cushy cake walk that is modern gaming. Actually, let's not call it modern gaming, let's call it interactive cut-scenes that occasionally require you to shoot at enemies to provide the illusion that you are using skill to get further in the game.

[x]I don't quit. Ever. No matter what the game, whether there's a quit ban or not makes no difference to me, I see every game through to the end. No matter how "unfair" or "frustrating" it gets I keep performing to the best of my ability. I don't run just because things get slightly more challenging.

I sign out in the lobby before the game starts. You don't get quit banned that way...
