I will leave if I am not doing my A-Game... I probably have ragequit a couple of times in my life, but I don't make a habit of it. I like impossible challenges.

I don't ragequit, but I do quit if the match is hopelessly in the enemy's favor, like the other day I was playing the Bad Company 2 demo, my team was about as useful as an autistic kid with a super soaker.

I never ragequit. It is dishonorable.

In fact in Halo 3 if you decide to quit you'll get a message saying something like:

Do you really want to quit?

B- No, I will finish with honor

A- Yes, I am a coward!
That is rather annoying though when you actually have to quit to go somewhere and can't play for 5 more minutes.

I'll usually rage quit mid match when I join a game (MW2) that's in progress and there is 2 enemy harriers and a pavelow in the sky and you get gunned down like 10 times before you have even started.

On occasion, but never with the active purpose of denying the opposite team. If I'm not enjoying myself or the challenge, I'm not gonna continue being a masochist to please other people. That said, I won't stay in games with heavy lag and glitching players, nor people using cheats. Thats not about rage though, thats about the quality of the game I'm choosing to play.

Oh actually there have been a few times, which are down to be being the highest scorer in a match, but still being on the losing side. I can't stand finishing a match wanting to shoot all my team mates in the head...

Wow, that guy is a sore loser, but that was quite the epic comeback you had.

I haven't rage quitted... not to my knowledge. I mean, I've quit when I've been losing fuckloads, but never because of that. I only quit when I stop having fun, makes sense really.
Thanks. Megaman Volnutt is my best.
That does make sense.

I quit if the other team is glitching, take that, bitches!

That, or if it lags, social life attacks, I have to pee, etc.
Glitching-yes. Lags-If really bad...yes. Social Life-Of course. Pee breaks-Yes only if it's not TF2.

I don't think anyone does.

It really depends what you consider a rage quit, I know sometimes when playing L4D2 I use quickmatch a lot and if I join a completely terrible team I'll just leave, I really don't feel like suffering through a match with a bad team when I just joined.
But then I think there are some cases where raging is justified. For example I tried for like a month to get my realism accomplishment in L4D2 (I still think it is one of the most poorly conceived modes ever) and I'd always make it with one group or another to a finale or the level before the finale and while the previous levels went fairly decently people just got pants on head retarded for absolutely no reason. After like 8 or so tries on the same section and we make no progress I just leave.
Also cases where another team or players are being complete jerks, I'll just leave, I'm playing a game for fun I don't need to hear a bunch of prepubescents yelling in my ear ruining my enjoyment of a game.

That said I rarely leave a game or rage quit when it actually involves screwing some one over, I usually finish the match and then leave to join another server.

Also lag can sometimes be a big factor, I think out of the 3 or 4 games in MW2 that I've actually left before the match was over was due to terrible lag for everyone except the host, who used his good ping just to completely roll everyone.
I don't think me leaving has actually ever cost anyone a victory.

If fighting is sure to result in victory then you must FIGHT!

Sun Tsu said that... and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than YOU DO PAL because he INVENTED IT... and then he PERFECTED IT until NO living man could BEST him in the ring of honour.

Then he used his fight money to buy TWO of every animal on earth. Then he herded them onto a BOAT... and then he beat the crap out of every single one of them.

And that's why any time a group of animals are together in one place it's called a ZOO!

UNLESS IT'S A FARM.

I only ragequit when the situation is god-awful. Take this situation, for example. I was playing HQ pro on MW2. The entire enemy team has either the FAMAS or UMP .45, always with a tactical knife pistol as the secondary. They also all had Semtex, so they would just send barrages up at the capture point whenever we were anywhere near it. It was horrible. The game was about half way through (with them in the lead of course) when a barrage of harriers and precision air strikes came in. I proceeded to ragequit after screaming at my TV. My friend (who miraculously had the willpower to stay in the game) told me that the enemy had gotten a nuke not long afterward. Ridiculous.

Never give up, never ragequit, never surrender!

Well, unless there's actually a surrender option like in some RTS. Dawn of War 2 has one for example, I'll use it if there's absolutely no chance of me winning. Saves time for everyone!

But no, I don't ragequit. It annoys me too much when people do it to me, and I'm determined to not be one of those people perpetuating the problem by doing it myself in frustration.

Wow, that match was waaay out of my league.

OT: I don't rage quit; I rage throw my controller at my couch. After I lose, of course. And even that doesn't happen unless someone decides to be really stupid and use 2 moves and ONLY 2 moves. THEY WEREN"T EVEN COMBOS, DAMNIT! I WILL KILL YOU ONE DAY, ASUKA KAZAMA! MARK MY WORDS!

Ahem.

But if you had to go somewhere, why would not being able to play for 5 minutes be a problem?

I rage wuite, but never to the extent that you showed in the video.

lets say some fool gets a ac-130 or a chopper gunner in MW2, then spawn kills my 3+ times in a row. Im gonna rage quite because that is just so fucking stupid and not fun that I cant play the game without anger.

I sold that game because of shit like that, now I play TF2 where you cant be spawn killed

No Ragequitting to prevent a win, hell no. I'll ragequit if cheating/glitching is involved, bad connections, or just plain I don't want to play anymore, but not to pout that i lost. Thats weak and pansy assed and noone can say otherwise.

They need to have a penalty system for quitting. Though it might have a flaw if you quit because you had to go, I still want a penalty system for quitting.
