This is XBL, and it'll always be XBL. I'd feel no remorse doing what you did.

Wait until someone with a live vision cam shows you more of their private parts than you want to see... lol.

I don't blame the OP at all, either. I was playing a game of halo 3 yesterday and this idiot thought it was funny to shoot my shield off before I went into battle a few times, so I was killed immediately.

heh thats happened to me before, whats worse is when doing oddball peopel kill you when you are no where near the dude with the ball nor do you have it

i actually ran into people that were basicially cheating, im guessing they were friends, 1 would pick up the skull and the rest would just protect him, got really old really fast

if there is 1 person dominating and then everyone else is close, it benefits the people in 2nd/3rd place to just try and let the 1 person win the game because if you are in t he top 3 spots (in lone wolf) your rank will increase and you get EXP points. some people only care about ranking up, and if you know you are beat, mine as well try to make sure you go out in 2nd/3rd instead of going out in 4th/5th.

if that were the case it would be acceptable however its normally someone not even playing and just killing people as they spawn

Yeah, I hate oddball games where people will let the person with the ball go free while concentrating on killing other people who are nowhere near the action. I guess it's a good way to get your kill ration up, since people are ignoring you for the most part.

You can get 1st without killing the guy in 1st... If you kill the lesser guys more than the guy in 1st does, you'll win. I'm always in it to win it (or at least do as well as I can), but I don't differentiate between who I kill in lone wolves.

i know but take this for example, with the first place guy holding the ball ...

1st place has 40 seconds on ball.
2nd place has 12 seconds.
3rd place has 11 seconds
4th place has 10 seconds
5th place has 9 seconds.

the 2nd and 3rd place guys will still go up in rank/EXP as long as they stay in 2nd or 3rd place. so they are better off letting the 1st place guy just get his 10 seconds and win, rather than killing the 1st place guy w/the ball then giving the 4th/5th place guys a chance of gaining a spot on them, which could cause them to go down to 4th/5th place and they would lose rank and not gain any EXP points. they are better off trying to kill the 4th/5th place guys rather than trying to get the skull for a few seconds, then dying, giving the other guys a chance to catch up.

i've done this myself too on oddball games, when I know there is no way I can win, I mine as well get some rank/EXP points out of it.

Oh wait - what kind of game is this? I didn't realize what you guys were talking about when you mentioned a ball before.

Exactly. Anybody that disconnects from a game gets bad feedback from me.

It's especially bad in madden, where the idiots make you finish the game against the computer in order to get full credit for a win. That's so stupid, if I wanted to play the computer I wouldn't be online.

And ill give you bad feedback also

I usually play XBL game without the headset.

People talk shizzo over Uno and Poker on XBL also?

Do I listen to some 12 years old kid or listening to music? Tough choice there.

But that ***IS*** the whole point.

Either do as others have suggested, and always play with the headset muted, or play with the headset on and disconnect at first sign of juvenille behavior and leave him bad feedback. Obviously the first option is currently the more accepted behavior. But the second option would be the best solution in the long run if everyone followed suit since the excessive smack talkers would have no one to play against. The current feedback system is kind of worthless.
