cheating is pathetic and annoying, only time i ever cheated was to get to the last level on some random game(single player) which is acceptable imo. Sometimes quiters cant be sorted because some times its a genuin issue such as your internet died, power out. Laggers are just as bad tbh, someone with dial up starts playing and lags the match or kills everyone cos they are lagged so you miss them, happened to me in cod4 on pc as id always die even if i was shooting a whole clip at them >.<. Main reason is because its all little imature kids playing 18 rated games which is odd, granted ive got loads of adult rated games(like gears of war) but im 16 and take it seriously
(with fun ofc), if im losing i will keep playing to try and win back if its a game like gears but if its a game that rates it as a loss like an rts then id just type "GG/good game" or something then quit depending if they are destroying my base fast or taking the piss
.
Cheating is never goin to go away unless PROPER measures are taken, punkbuster needs help on pc lol and it should be mandetory for servers to use it (look at crysis, half the servers are full of cheats cos no PB and hosts suck). I remember the horrible online issues with halo 2 and it was really annoying, spent most of my time waiting to play the game than actually playing it.
Good article, should bring in pc aswell though
