Revolutionary Rant: Quitters

Posted on Tuesday, November 30 @ 21:55:28 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

I was excited. It'd been quite some time since I had played GunGame and Call of Duty: Black Ops was to include the mode. I've already ranted about that particular subject, but actually going in and playing the game mode on Xbox Live got me thinking about a problem I didn't think would crop up when playing GunGame on a console instead of a PC.

Part of the problem with GunGame in Black Ops is that every match is limited to 6 players. If any of those players quit out, the match starts to get really lonely, really fast.

The same can be said of the heavily-multiplayer-focused Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit from Criterion Games. Treyarch and Criterion did a lot to balance the game and ensure that players were interacting pretty closely with each other so that nothing would get boring.

My problem isn't with the developers or the connections with other players. My problem is with you quitters out there.

What the hell is your problem? You get stuck on a weapon in GunGame and you suddenly lose all hope and refuse to persevere? You do realize that launchers, crossbows, and ballistic knives are difficult to get kills on right? There IS a possibility that you could pull a long kill streak out and come out in first, second, or third!

Try dedicating the rest of your game to knifing other players. Just because you're not gaining back your shitty-little-virtual Call of Duty pennies doesn't mean quitting is the answer. Being a sore loser just blows the time you've already invested into the match.

As much as I'd love to go back through my recent players list and give each and every one of you a bad review, I don't think your worth it. I think I'll just continue to run through you with my knife until you're in last place.

The same can be said of you pathetic humans who quit out of Hot Pursuit matches because the racers get "too far ahead." What kind of whiner babies are you? L2P for God's sake. Cops are constantly generating more boost, regardless of their reckless driving. They're also equipped with a lot more weapons to deploy against racers.

Seriously, why give up? It's not like quitting out of matches HELPS your stats. Idiots.

Well,dealing with quitters is a part of life, but the worst is when a sissy starts team killing. I fondly remember in CoD4 Hardcore S&D people who would fire a rocket at the ground at the beginning of rounds and kill the whole team because they were so butt hurt.

But anyways, will we be hearing from Plug-Bot-5000 anytime soon about that contest?

I hate quitters as much as you, but like Godofallends said, "dealing with quitters is part of life." I don't quit at all. If I do horrible in a match, I'm not going to give up. I rather use my balls and end the match completely. Fuck quitters! "Rehab is for quitters."

I couldn't agree with you more, but I'd say that the hatred I have for people who quit stems even further back to my hatred of something even more specific... People who don't want to work for anything they want, they just want it given to them. Those same people are the people who quit until they find a match where they are better than the other players. Instead of working to BECOME better, they just looking for an easier match. Frustrating.

Keep in mind that a lot of the people who play these games, even Black Ops with its mature rating, are just kids, lots of em younger than 15 years old. And lets be honest, kids are generally pussies in video games. They're the ones who ***** and complain and cry when they get killed 19 times in a row, and then quit to find something easier. They're also the ones who talk a lot of ****, but you can't smack because blunt force truama doesnt convert into electical signals...

Well, for one, not everyone cares about there epeen stats, and if you think me or anyone else is going to stay in a game there not having fun in your crazy, gaming is supposed to be fun, being frustrated just so you have more people to kill isnt in anyones prioities.

What warmaster said. Pretty sure most people who quit do so out of frustration rather than because their record is being tarnished. Why stay in a game that's pissing you off, which in turn will affect everyone else?
