Ever have a friend RAGEQUIT on you?
 

So, I'm playing Crackdown 2 with a friend. I go to take a vehicle to a drop point to store it, and my buddy says "I wonder if I can shoot your helicopter." I notice another car I don't have, so within 20 seconds, I'm back at the drop point with a new vehicle. My buddy confirms he can shoot the drop helicopter.A few seconds later, I'm dead, as a drop helicopter crashes on me, blows up my car, and sends me flying into the air in a flaming heap.

Well, I figure fair's fair, so I respawn and he's trying to get a car oddly enough, the same one) at the same drop point, and having trouble because of the flaming debris. So I return the favour, shooting the helicopter, crashing it on his vehicle.

And he responds bitching me out for doing that, when he'd just done the same to me. He insists he didn't shoot down the helicopter, though he had already said he shot it and there were no enemies in the vicinity that I could discern (far as I can tell, reclaimed areas are safe zones). A few seconds later, I'm kicked to the menu and he's gone from my XBL party.

This isn't a "was I right?" thread. He and a few other of my friends frequently dick around in coop online games like this, fucking with each other. Blowing each other up in Crackdown or SR2, Trampling each other in RDR or shooting each others' horses and shit. Wrestling games, we often backstab one another, etc. etc. etc. It's generally considered good fun, and horseplay. Eventually, the lot of us will call a truce and get on with shit. So I had no reason to think him killing me was malicious, and no reason to think my response would be taken as such.

So really, it surprised me. This doesn't normally happen. In fact, this is a first. Random folks on XBL, that's different. You don't know them or have established traditions and rules and shit, and some of them are just dicks or sore losers. I've had RAGEQUITS before, just not actual friends.

This ever happened to any of you guys? Were you being a dick, screwing around, or was it just an accident (I accidentally headshotted the same guy in a gang hideout in RDR because he ran right in front of me, for example, but we both knew that was just shit luck)? Sleeping with their Fable wife? :shifty:

Nope. My brother gets very animated online but I've never seen him quit mid-game.

I've never had friends rage quit but they have played dirty from time to time. If it doesn't cost me anything like an achievement, unlockable, game or something, then it doesn't really bother me.

Random people online, yeah they rage quit. Usually in blocks. I went weeks without a single one and then I had 3 or 4 in the last 2 days.

Almost did once, few years back. Was playing Age of Empires 2 with a friend and bum rushed him with paladins pretty early in the game. He was in the other room, so could hear him bitching at me for creaming him. Ended up being a 2 hour draw as he had to go home.

Never with friends, that's just so weird.

I stopped playing MW2 with a friend because he would ragequit when people we were playing with were doing horrible. He was pretty good at the game, but I thought it was a pretty douchebag move to just quit when you're playing with friends.

Playing L4D once in my office, 4v4, my bosses team kept getting fucking SMASHED by my team. I hear him SCREAMING at his team to listen to his orders or no one will ever play again. Next thing I see is his trucking peeling out of the parking lot. Dude just sprinted out in a rage because he was so upset. Came back 40 minutes later and made everyone play again with new teams stacked in his favor.

Never do that to any of my gamer friends, never had any of them do it to me. However I do have a tendency to get quite easily irked at certain situations in single-player games.

What Req said, I have a few people who rage quit at MW2, but not for any reason besides that they just suck.

I get invites all the time from therm and ignore them now.

I killed you several times, so I probably deserved it.

You don't have any real life friends.

Suck my 2.5"cock.

i don't have any friends to play games with. however, shit like this happens to all the time with the random folk, maybe i'm just a huge asshole online

The whole online community are full of assholes--myself included.

I have a friend who is like that, but he has a PS3, so I get to witness it first hand.

A couple of times in Counter-Strike but only one time involved me directly.

Had it happen a few times with strangers on Xbox Live during Free Roam in GTA IV Episodes disc and Halo 3 but I leave mute on for everyone except friends so I never hear all the stuff yelled at. Only know about it from a couple of friends who were on the same server who set their mics to everyone.

The Eye?

Just wondering what you meant by first hand.

Had someone rage quit on me in Peggle

I have a 360. When we play it's always in person, even though he lives 2 hours away now.

Fuckin love Peggle

Was playing all those 300,000 and clear the screen challenges tonight with my friend. Literally was jumping off the coach screaming at points. Amazing game.

Gunna start saving some more insane shots.

I cleared the stage one with like 7 extra balls on the last shot.

I had a friend take a swing at me cause i kept using QB Bootleg with Michael Vick and running in 80 yard td's.

I dont have a live account or internet to hook it up :-\

Today, BC2. I get 34 / 7. He on opp side, gets a 7/9. We were on vent, he got team switched at the start but carried on. Rage quit just before end of round. Still hasn't come back on.

Every time I play Halo 3 with my friend he starts bitching at some point and then yelling and then punching walls and then throwing controllers and then quitting out of games (causing me to lose EXP) and then sends me home while using my WiFi Adapter to constantly use Netflix. What a bitch lol

actually i ragequit on the computer A LOT
