My friend, won't name names here, is driving me insane. He complains that he isn't any good at Halo, but he constantly quits out while in the middle of a game. This pisses me off to no end. STOP BEING A PANSY! If you're going to quit out anyway, just do me a favor and never start in the first place. Besides, how are you going to get better if you keep dropping out mid-game?!
And when he doesn't quit out, which is rare, he spams grenades, which is another thing that drives me insane. Spamming grenades is lame, it just says you have no skill with firearms. Oh, excuse me, he is proficient with the rocket launcher, (real tough to use, that weapon.)
Anyway, pardon my rant, I would challenge him to a 1 on 1 grudge match (the usual way we solve our problems in my group of friends), but he'd probably just quit out of that as well.

Don't get me wrong, he's a good friend of mine, he just pisses me off when we play Halo, which is a bummer, because Halo is supposed to be fun, right?
Anyony else have an annoying friend? Advice? Similar stories?

No matter what you do in life, you will disappoint someone.
No matter what you say, you will offend someone.
No matter what you think, someone will think you're an idiot.

Find and eliminate these people.

I have 3 friends that do that. I kill them ten times in a row and they quit, if I want to play with them I have to let them kill me a few times.

and in team games they all want to be on my team, I keep telling them that a 4v0 isn't going to work.

Same here, although sometimes my friends all want to gang up on me. My favorite time this happened I let them choose map and weapons. They chose Hang Em High with Shotguns (they figured on one-shot-killing me the whole time.)
Anyway, it was 5v1 to 50 frags, and I won 51 to 27 (last kill was a 2for1 with a frag), that succeeded in there being no lans for almost a month LOL. They were all about it when they were ganging up on me, but I took their thunder by almost doubling their score.
Later they were like "But you have more targets to aim at, thus, making it easier for you to score!" But I figure there are FIVE against ONE, they should be able to gang up on me and take me out before I know what hit me.
On a side note, I got 2 killtaculars in that game, muahahahahaha.

I have a friend that says Halo sucks, and says that Xbox sucks.WTF. I let him play Halo so I could prove him wrong. He still says it sucks, and that he is going to buy a N64 instead.AxxHole!

I hate it when people quit, but it's even more annoying when they act like it doesnt matter and start screwing around.

Rip his feeble spine out and use it to brutally whip your friend into lawful submission. Or figure out the button combination to turn him back into a baby so he can have more time to rethink his miserable loser life. But seriously, the spine thing.

Yeah, he could do that. But instead, I just trained my friends so they could be on my level. Tell them how to lead shots, snipe, use grenades effectively, the basics. Now I have a decent challenge whenever I play them. Note that this only works if they're willing to learn, and Augmented's friend sounds a bit stubborn. It's worth a try though.

sometimes people refuse to be trained. I did manage to train one of my friends with the sniper rifle though, I shouldn't have. He will never play unless there are sniper rifles, and I take out sniper rifles to give my enemies more of a chance.

Funny thing is that all 3 of my idiot friends own halo. I don't own it, but to them I am a god, a god that they fear. I also have all three of their halo discs at my house. I've been "borrowing" one of them for 2 years.

With stubborn players there's two things you can do, train them, or do the spine thing.

Do the spine thing. Helping people is the coward's way out.

I had one friend quit out once and another started shooting his name into the wall. It really pissed me off.

Yes i have two friends that do that all the time, they are so stupid. Cmon it´s only a game, but no, they don´t even want me to teach them. They only want to play co-op, or search for tricks. The best solution is the snipe thing...

Yeah, perhaps if we play other gametypes, CTF sounds good, give them another objective other than dying - ...I mean killing. I will ask him if he wants a bit of training...and if not...
THE SPINE WILL BE MINE MUAHAHAHAHAHA -
ahem...yeah...
Thanks guys.
