    Yep, they should make people stay in the game.

    Play with people from your friends list.

    People take games too seriously. If you have to play with the public try player matches rather than ranked, it weeds out some of the people who only care about stats, weird thing is though there's still a few people who will quit out of player games too.

    I've heard of fifa being a pain to play with quitters but if they quit do you win?cod4 was another one.. I didn't mind if the host left randomly left but if we were winning by a large margin I'd get annoyed..

    I suppose you gotta realize losing isn't great fun at all.. I know makes me wana stop playing at times

    Thank christ for dedicated servers (and **** you Activision/IW while i'm at it)

    Over the weekend i was trying to get the 'lightswitch' achievement in Halo 3 (get lietuenant rank in the new playlists) which meant i had to win 50 games. I had about 5 or 6 games left to win, and i swear to go, ive never seen so much quitting in my life. Its a joke. My team would go down by like 3 kills in a game of slayer and half the team would quit. I lost track of the number of times i was left as the sole palyer on my team vs 4 people on the opposing team. And i couldnt quit because i didnt want to lose the exp needed for the achievement.
    Seriously they need stricter penalties in games for quitting. ATM in Halo you just lose 1XP, bump it up to 5 or more and see how many quit then. I couldnt believe half of them had attained the ranks they had given all the quitting going on

    Ive mainly come across quitters in Fifa 10 recently. But each time they quit I got the win, maintained my winning streak, but didnt get any level up points. Im ok with that, tho I do think you should drop levelup/experience points if you quit. There has to be more of a disincentive given to quitters

    I have to say i rarely come across quitters in cod4 or cod waw etc.
    Its rampant in fifa 10 however.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,509 ✭✭✭Damo 2k9


    Depends what playlist you play on the call of duty games, i think that team deathmatch and domination have the most quitters.

    I would disagree, mainly play a lot of zombies of WaW but the amount of people that quit if they dont get loads of kills in the first 2/3 rounds is crazy. Alos when you get to round 12 or so and someone gets killed, if you dont go to them they quit rather than waiting for the next round. Do they not understand especially with 3 players, if you go for the rescue a lot of the time everyone dies!!!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,509 ✭✭✭Damo 2k9


    Yeh i have to agree with you on the zombies :P
    I play it alot aswell and most of the time when it gets past round 10 its hard to pick them up unless you have monkeys

    Its not crap, it can be quite a lot of fun.

    Championship mode in SF4 has some quitters too, and whats worse you don't win the fight if the other guy quits!

    Glad to hear it's not just happening on the PS3! It's an incredibly annoying situation to find yourself in, I can't believe people can be so petty. So seeing as it appears to be console wide does anyone know if Sony, MS or the developers have any plans to combat it?

    They can't leave things as they are.

    Which is besides the point that i was talking about initially :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,223 ✭✭✭✭DARK-KNIGHT


    im talking generally but fifa 10 is ****ing wrecking my head! if im being beaten with 5 minutes left on the clock i have the decency and grace to lose and try to improve! i scored a goal straight from kick off the other day and the other guy actually could be heard saying **** this and quit!

    so why do we pay 50 quid for a service thats not being monitored for true gamers?

    its a pile of ****e:mad:

    This has always been the case in some games. I have a friend who is mad into FIFA and pes. He is really good at them (well compared to me he is). He has had lots of people rage quit and send him abusive messages.
