Which side are you on? There's the quitters and those that deny the fact that the game is boring and sucks and stick with the gametype they've been assigned thinking it is practice for other gametypes. I'll be honest. I was the latter for many a game. But I definitely have been siding with the quitter lately.
Everyone has been against those that quit your matchmaking game, leaving the blue screen for the rest to suffer through, and play with less a competition. And I used to be one of these people. But I'm not anymore. Lately, there has been pretty damn good reason to quit. And I respect others that do it.
People quit for a couple main reasons. Number 1: they quit because they don't feel like playing the certain gametype they've been assigned. Well, you're kind of justified there. Matchmaking has become so limited and thoughtless, that I can understand why you're searching for a specific type of game and can't get it without quitting and starting the search over. Bungie doesn't listen to what you want, so of course you're going to quit and try again for something you want. It's not your fault, it's theirs.
Quitting because of frustration is completely understandable as reason Number 2. You have every right. How many times can you spawn within shooting range of the GUY IN FIRST PLACE? How many times can you spawn within melee range of someone that was shooting others? How many times can you spawn in the same place you have died? How many times can you go up against a guy with the sword and sniper when there is no other on the map? Bungie just doesn't get it.
If you want to go play another game (reason Number 3), it's completely understandable. Games like Timesplitters always had more options for multiplayer and never paired you on a team of idiots and teamkillers. Plus, nobody bothered to cheat in this game.
Of course you need to go to bed (reason Number 4). You're most likely bored to tears and falling asleep because the options and playlists Bungie offers you won't keep a coke addict awake.
I love these programmers nowadays that think they know anything about public opinion. Smart public opinion. Of course they need a little dose of Bill Clinton; meaning, they need to learn to utilize the poll. But of course, they have to realize that a poll of 15 year olds, is really not the smartest audience possible. And since viewing the behind-the-scenes videos on Bungie's development of Halo 3, you can understand why the developers think the 15-year-old mind is a good one. They both have comparable grades of intelligence.

I rarely quit... well that was my policy, but lately it's not like it matters. There's more than enough reasons to quit. Bungie should have has a opt-out function so you can bail out when you see the type of game being played. Oh wait, then a game would never get started.
Lately is just frustrating how they limit the variety of maps. Maybe that's a good topic for the next post. Why? What's the point? No-one hosts their own games anymore. People rely on the matchmaking... and Bungie is saying, you can only play it on 4-5 of the maps. Arrogant bullshit… and the ass in charge of making that decision needs to come down with cancer.
