The Right to Ragequit

Yeah, ragequitters are far worse in a game like Halo. In reach I get left all alone and it's 4-1 and I don't want to quit out because then it's mark against me. The problem is I'm pretty much screwed from that point, it's no fun and my stats are gonna get flushed down the crapper. At that point I pretty much just hide and make it as long as I can without dying. Really there should be some sort of rule that allows the last person left on a team to quit without penalty since it's not really fun for either side at that point. Ragequitting on COD really isn't such a big deal because new people just drop in mid-game and you go from there. Also I can never get my Win/Loss ratio up on that game because 9/10 times I join a new game it drops me in a match where I'm losing 250-0 with 60 seconds left.

 

Or maybe when the game detects one side only has X amount of players remaining, it initiates auto-balance for teams.

I don't like ragequitting, and I don't ragequit online games, in FPS games like Halo if I'm left alone or at a disadvantage, I just go crazy :P Like, just run out and try to get at least 1 kill before I'm blown to pieces crazy :P In games like Battlefield I'll make a desperate run to try and capture/destroy an objective before I loose.

 

As for other games, I don't play much online, I remember when I ventured online in Soul Calibur 4, it was the first time I tried online play in a fighting game :P Got my ass kicked a bunch of times but I enjoyed that, as it allowed me to see what other dudes could do with some characters :P

 

Demon's Souls is another game where online gameplay presents some dudes who ragequit, specially when they get invaded and stuff :P But also invaders like to quit, the other day while trying to get through 4-1 I was invaded by the same dude a bunch of times, every time he "left" before I gave the last blow to kill him, until I summoned 2 other dudes and we rushed through the level :P Aside from that, every time I get the "Black Phantom ______ Has invaded" message I just tell myself "I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead" while running to meet the dude... Which usually ends up in me being killed :P But still, it's a fun process to me.

 

 

Offline however is another thing :P I tend to quit a game if I can't get past a certain point/boss/puzzle/whatever, after that I do some other stuff and then return to the game "fresh" and ready to go (and possibly fail) again :P

 

Edit: I think more games should have an "auto balance" option, it's not fun when you're 1 dude against a full team.

Ragequitting annoys me just as much as de-levelers did in Halo 2.

 

The only thing I'm worried about with the isolation idea of MvC3 is what frequency is determined when sticking you there? I don't ragequit, although sometimes things happen and I have to quit in the middle of a match. I think that's fairly normal and excusable, I just wouldn't want that to happen and then end up in that situation.

The other thing that can be really irritating about rage quitters is when the quit just before the game is over and they are host and as a result the game locks up and then trys to migrate host and sometimes it dumps you from the game during migration and as a result it takes like 2-3 minutes to get back to the lobby when it would have taken 10 seconds. Why do people ragequit 2 seconds before the game over?
