So, You Left the Game Because Your Team Was Losing. Ya Know What You Are?

Yeah. You're a jerkass. And that's the politest term I can use on the forum, where I am determined to try always to be poilte. I understand nobody likes to lose. And I understand the frustration that is engendered when you are performing well, and others on your team are having an off day. But understand that a game is A GAME, with winners and losers. If you don't want to risk your team losing, don't play PvP, go play the Strikes playlist, or go patrolling. One team wins, one team loses, is how it is. Your teammates don't feel any better about going 2 for 10 than you feel about it. It is not like they are standing there dancing in a corner so your opponents can gun them down for the points, or sparrow surfing through the arena (unless that IS what they're doing, in which case, feel free to quit- my rant doesn't apply to you); they are fighting for their lives, and having their teammate bail out on them is only going to make them feel worse. What's more, you are being a fool to yourself. You already fought through a lot of the match, and now you gave up on the Marks and possible rewards that come at the end of it. Why? Why quit? Why not keep fighting and maybe snatch victory from the jaws of defeat? If nothing else, just take satisfaction from being the best in the match, even if your team loses. Quit quitting, ya big quitter.

  • I agree. It is very frustrating. One time myself and a friend were playing and everyone quit early and we were the only two left. A new group popped in and we almost won the match. It was quite exhilarating to be making that comeback. On the flipside, I spawned in a the middle of the match only to have everyone use their super on me. I died like 4x in a row from the other team's supers. Coming in the middle of the match, I feel disoriented as to where everyone is at and not get a feel of the ebb and flow of the match. Also, the timing of when heavy ammo will be available. So I'm stuck just taking this match on the chin and gutting through it.

    • It's the worst when you're losing, but it's redeemable and suddenly you find yourself a man down and everything landslides from there. Also, when you bail like that it will drop a solo player looking for a group into a losing match which is seriously not cool. I spawned into a match on earth, loading by 5k points and the other team had just picked up BOTH heavy ammo drops. I died often and repeatedly for the next few minutes and pretty much wasted a match thanks to you, quitter.

      • I'll leave if 1.) The lag is unbearable or 2.) I'm the only one left.

          • Idk why people care so much about winning or losing on this game. It's not like there's a ranking system or anything, just get the marks and rep at the end. Despite having at least 30% of my team's total score most of the time when I'm not playing with friends I lose the majority of my games. If I quit every time I started losing I wouldn't be completing much matches by myself.

          • Second time today I had to suffer through the last 6 minutes of a match alone because the rest of my team quit. It may sound silly, but I'd love an option to concede defeat and end a match early to get my rewards rather than be spawn killed by the enemy team for the last half of the match.
