Are you playing on XBOX or PS3? The reason I'm asking is I'm lead to believe there are far more players in the PS3 world than the XBOX I can only speak from the XBOX side of the equalization & must admit if you are an XBOX gamer you have been unlucky. I have not had a host quit on a realistic room. But I have to admit most of the time we seem to know each other as the XBOX world for BOP has been shrinking quickly.

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.
