Next session starts and he jumps in again....(jeez...you gotta be kidding I thought!).....the teams are random but he is in the stronger formation with experienced SIM players....this team wins and....yeah you guessed........ he didn't quit....says it all really!

though i never played simulator, the hardest i have venture is realistic, I never quit a game, that just shows u are not a good player. And I don't mean a good pilot, but a good host or visitor. U have to keep flying no matter if u are winning or losing. I have sometimes played in teams in CA were we start even. Then the only guy playing in my team is just me vs 2, 3 or even 4 guys. Some of them pitty u and let u land then do silly stuff, others just keep killing u. For instance I once played in a group of 4 on 4. then all my partners quit and i was alone. Finally after letting my score drop to 50 the other team of 4 decided to let me land and capture the airfield. They though i was a noobi, since the only thing i kept doing throughout the game was land [no shooting] then they let me win the game. later they wrote me that they had send a message to the quiters. "Had u guys help him out, u could have won, he was on fire, got each of us 10 after he capture the airfield". a false thing that i got each of them 10 times, but true that i won the game. I was surprise about this outcome.

Months later, in strike I playe on a team of 6 vs 4 [2 just join my team because i had the b17]. as the game was almost over i stopped bombing the other team bases to a score of 30 vs our score of 500. The opposite team only had one brave he111 remaining who kept playing even when the other 3 players had quit. Then, I decided to go crazy and help that bomber, so i did. Burn my bases in no time and the he111 won the game. I later wrote "Not a gift from Rommel, but a way to show fairness, Thank u for the game my friend".

Might that be a case of A.G.E. my friend! LOL!

In my limited time with the game so far I have witnessed a many players quit for apparently no reason. It's a bit irritating when the host does it as of course the whole game ends but I personally boil it down to poor sportmanship.

I've played nowhere near as much as the majority of you here and quite frankly I suck, but isn't the whole premise of the game to fight until the last kill? Tides turn in battle and given the game itself almost anything can happen. So, I struggle to get kills in sim but I love that mode. What better way to challenge my nerves and skill? It was P-51 who recently introduced me to sim and subsequently this site so I can only say I'm glad he did.

I'm not here to argue about which difficulty setting is better but I will say that I was blown away by the sim mode in comparison to arcade. For arguments sake, I find the aim assist reticule distracting and the sim games far more immersive. Be that as it may I do dabble in all games modes (at least for the time I've played so far)...

Anyway, it's pathetic for players to drop out because they are losing. As I said, I suck but god dammit if I can at least hang around to be the player most often shot down, then it cuts some slack for the seasoned pilots on my team... If anyone needs a distraction, I'm it.

I fear however that I will be forever trying to unlock the online planes as even though I've only been playing over the last 3 or 4 days, most of the sim games I've joined only ever seem to have 3 or 4 players in them. At the moment I have a hard enough time just getting a decent sight on them let alone scoring big. Out of said games with limited players, most times players have left and left just one other player in the game with me. This I admit can get extremely frustrating but I will not stop till the last. Unless of course it's an arranged thingy and thanks again for your time P-51. I look forward to shooting you down some time lol.

Bottom line is I'm hooked so I plan to become a true contender over the coming months. There's heaps of good info on this site so for those of you who have spent all that time posting with us newbies in mind, I thank you. Awesome work.

Quitters belong on the ground.

i agree with the above ive seen myself in a 4 on 1 (me) and played to the end imo it can only help hone you're skill lol hence my dog fighting on all levels is still really poor as MQ, brigg, gilly, DKwookie and others will testify lollol


but unless its uneven teams and an unlimited time limit and one airfield in a CTA or really really laggy will be the only times i will quit, and i never quit as host ................ ever. its not fair on the guys playing and if people are looking for unlocks ect ect.


as clan said quitters should just stay grounded lol



just love this game its one of the best and so are one and all playing excellent bunch of guys/gals

People will always quit, no matter what the game is. Quitters never learn how to lose properly... even if you're getting your butt kicked stay in the game.

In a matchmaking game in Halo 3 I played a 4 vs 4 game of slayer. All 3 guys on my team quit 1 or 2 minutes in (mostly because 1 guy quit, which caused another guy to quit, which caused another guy to quit, a chain reaction thing), but I stayed in there and even though I lost the match I was pretty proud of myself, since they had only won 23-17.


The Lesson: Even if the odds are against you, stay in the fight, if you quit you have no chance of winning at all; even if the chances are very slim, you still have a chance if you don't quit. Plus, if you quit all the players on your team will be angry, and it might cause another person to quit because they think since they are outnumbered they can't win.

I try not to frown too much on quitters. In the very beginning I got very frustrated a quit a couple of games too and contemplated just giving up completely. I fully admit it! I got over it and started sticking too it and actually started unlocking some planes .

Look at it from their point of view: Some are new (like me) or very young (not like me). Heck, momma might be calling them to do their homework. If you are absolutely blowing someone out then give them a reason to stick around. There is no reason you can't let someone have 1 kill to your 10. Even as much as a no0b as I am; I'll give someone a chance that no one has given me yet. I bet if you will let a quitter think he/she can be competitive in a match they'll start to stick around.

The learning curve of this game is kinda steep from my point of view. I wish I could have run into some of you guys before...I stand to learn a lot.

I'm coming here to attack anyone, it might seem like it though; I understand why and I'll try hard to keep it from coming across that way. I apologize in advance though.

I've played a lot of games in the only two months I've had it. Most were in Arcade where there seems to be more people who will quit because they're get beat and don't think they have a chance. You guys all seem to be throwing a blanket over anyone who quits for any reason.
I've quite quite a few games myself. I've actually quit at least 5 games because I kept dying, 11 deaths in under three minutes in one very bad case. 10 spawn kills(who the computer so graciously gave 7 to someone), complete and under bull in a 10 minute dogfight with 7 people. I quit not because I was losing(I haven't even won half of the games I've finished) but because from the looks of it, it was going to keep happening. So I left the game and sent the host a message apologizing and telling him why I quit.
In a more recent game: my sister let my dog out of the house and kids around here are really bad with animals if you know what I mean. I quit the game because I was worried about my dog.
The game I quit this morning, a 10 minute team battle game on realistic playing with people I didn't know. The people on my team would do everything they could to keep the other team from scoring. I sent one of the other players on the opposite side an apology and he wasn't very happy and his team started doing it as well. I bailed, it's pointless to play a game where you're not having fun because of people playing like that.

The people who quite for no reason other than they're losing suck and need to grow up a little bit more in this respect. The people who seemingly quit for no reason shouldn't be harped on, should be ridiculed because there's a chance that they had a good reason to quit. Not every host who quits does so because they suck or feel "over their head."

There's more I could say but it's already starting to seem like I think I'm better than everyone, which I don't/am not and I think this is a long enough first post This on a PS3 btw.
