Getting matched with players that suck or worse…small children in online games is aggravating in my life. Sucky players suck and small children suck and/or think they are the best and that everyone else is cheating…oh and most of the time they have the most vulgar dictionary I have ever seen.
That said, I would rather have a team full of little kids and/or crappy players then have them all QUIT at the beginning of the game. While some games allow join in progress, Halo Reach does not…damn.
Invasion, Boneyard, defensive side first…15 seconds into the game THREE of them quit. Now I don’t care if you suck, its Invasion not Slayer…just distract the enemy or weaken them so I can finish them off or capture an objective. So go figure things start going bad. Two Spartans against one Elite can be iffy for the Elite, two Elites against one Spartan is NOT GOOD! So we get pushed back to the final phase within like…5 minutes and I figure
“Ok ok…I’ll get my sniper rifle and pick off the guy with the core and keep them pinned…”
Against my better judgment I let my teammate take the Spartan Laser because he told me he was pretty good with it. So I get to my spot and I see the enemy Banshee coming in…so I point it out to the guy…HE RUSHES THE BANSHEE (WHO IS GOING STRAIGHT FOR HIM BY THE WAY) AND GETS BLOWN UP BY THE BANSHEE BOMB!!! The entire time this is happening I’m sitting there staring at my television in UTTER shock at what was happening. So now the Laser is too far away for me to reach alive and there is a banshee flying around…then the Wraith comes around the corner. Oh and look here comes the guy with the core and another player for escort…so I make a snap (and somewhat rash) decision. I pivot and put two rounds into the back of the banshee, pivot again and snipe the core carrier and the escort and take off in a dead run for the laser…I don’t make it. The guy in the wraith (who by the way commended me for the shots after the game) sees me and bombs me to hell…and during my spawn they cap the core.

I’m fuming because I KNOW that attacking will be useless because it is going to be a spawn-campfest and sure enough…it is. The moral of this tale is DON’T QUIT A GAME BECAUSE IT MAKES EVERYONE THINK YOU ARE A DICK... thank you.
