I was playing Halo3 the other day and ran into, what I consider to be assholes. This is not that unusual for Halo, but I am sure that we all can find people who like to be dicks in whatever game we chose to play, not just halo. That said, I am not interested in hearing about the aspects of people online, or Halo 3, but rather the situation I will describe.
I was playing territories. The teams consisted mostly of people who were friends. The teams were 5 man teams, and a total of eight people were friends. Four on one side, four on the other. Which left me and one other player ( on the opposing team) as odd man out. There were five territories to capture.
The group of friends decided to tie the game, by having each team capture only two territories, and leaving the fifth territory open until the game ended. This seemed stupid to me. It made the game have no point or objective. The game started, and they went about their plan, to large success. Finally, I was fed up with being stuck in a thirteen minute long game that was pointless. I had tried to capture the remaining territory on my own, but with eight players ( including members of my own team) shooting at me, I just couldn't pull it off. When the second round started, I decided that I would betray my team members, so that they wouldn't be able to capture our second territory. Which would make the game have a winner, the other team, who had already captured their two territories. Making the end score of the game 2 to 1. When I started betraying them, I asked them why they were playing the game this way. They refused to answer me. Eventually, I betrayed one of my teammates, and they booted me from the game. They only had thirty seconds left to capture their second territory, so I hope that the game did not end in a tie.
I did not want to quit the game, as I find quiting to cowardly.
So, was I wrong, or should I have done something else? What would you have done
