Figured I would just quote you since you said what I was going to say myself.

Have to strongly disagree with all due respect. The last 4-5 games I played were alll with people who sounded like they were gonna play a decent game because they communicated and had mics. Not to mention they sounded like they had a plan so I a played (multiple games with multiple randoms) thinking to myself well maybe it might work. Nope the people with mics have no issues with dashboarding or leaving game when things turn sour for them. Over the course of 5 games of origins never had 1 game(starting with 4) go past round 14 without it turning into a solo game. This game is heavily filled with quitters right now who wanna tell you how to play blame others when they go down then quit. Having a headset might make a small difference but right now during this off season zombies is full of rage quitters who just dont care. They rage quit on round8-12 then go start a new game and do the same.

Fire in Co-op because it kills the panzers instantly with a charge and when you have a team 3 spawn in the later rounds. I know ice is prob the best choice but the delayed effect of ice turns me off to it. With a team of randoms I will use anything because chances are game wont go past 25-30 before someone quits or we finish the EE.

I agree with your post in the early rounds not enough zombies to even fill the chest. Most the time 3 randoms are fighting over kills for one of the boxes while im getting airstrikes with my shield. By the time they have punches I already have an upgraded staff(w/ Boomhilda for secondary) and airstrikes usually round 12. And thats even if no one rage quits during the 1st panzer round which happens more then I would like it to. What I can't stand is when someone dies and its automatically my fault because I didn't stick together with the rest of the team.

I can yes to that...maybe some t-shirt/hats as well.

I still play zombies but maybe 2-3 times a week mostly nightime on weekends. That is really the only time I have that I am free and have the time to play. I enjoy solo but will play with randoms if I have time to kill because I never wanna be the guy who has to leave midgame and kill everyones high round hopes. Once someone leaves the game though I kinda lose interest in the match but will continue if the team is helpful with eachother.

Really can't say I am one or the other honestly because I do both. After all doors are open and perks/pap I like to stay away from everyone but will never hesitate to revive another player. Only time someone will bleed out is if they are hostile towards myself/team because I know they wont return the favor(reviving team) when it is there turn to help and eventually they will rage quit.

I had it happen to me on multiple occasions both solo and with a team.First time it happened I thought my disc may have been dirty or it was something on my end but it was the game. With a team I was kicked from the game and solo I got an error code message or something like that. It wouldnt crash instantly but after about 7-10mins of training in the fog I would get kicked . To be honest I havent tried doing this since around the time Die Rise came out when I stopped playing tranzit on a normal basis. So maybe they fixed it(which I doubt) but I dont play tranzit enough to care anymore even if they did.

Not true as majority of randoms I end up in games with are skulls and they ALWAYS rage quit after asking me (and giving me shit for my rank)in the lobby if i'm gonna rage quit. No rank is the issue here its rage quitters and they come in all ranks. The reason people single out shotgun players is because there is less of them in public games so its more noticable when they leave a game. For every shotgun rank player you see leave a game I see 15-20 skulls and knife ranks rage quit so please dont single out ranks its the people who are the issue some people are just crybabies who leave when things don't go there way.BTW Black ops 1 and WAW had TONS of rage quitters(I can remember one game where a guy pulled the thunder gun during a fire sale host seen this and instantly ended game because that "WAS HIS GUN" lol) and also had people geting judged in a lobby by the high round so even without ranks people will judge others and try to 1 up eachother its human nature.

Rage quitting has always been an issue with me since WAW. It just never bothered me unless the person backing out was the Host. Now in BO2 we get host migration so we dont have to deal with "Host Ended Game" but once someone leaves the round stops counting. When I get the time to play and have to deal with randoms(No other choice unless I fee like playing solo) I ask in the lobby "what round are you guys trying to get to"? I also dont play with kids or intoxicated people(awful experiences so i avoid as much as possible) too many issues with kids being told to go to bed and drunk people well ...being drunk. I also go into games with randoms with little to no expectations because If everyone leaves and rage quits there is nothing to get mad about. Best bet is to just play solo or with people you know wont quit.

I honestly didnt mind the ranking system its us(the gamers) that go overboard with it. Don't know how many lobbies I went into and had to take flak for having shotguns because I either A. Had no life or B. Had to be a cheater. It was usually from skull ranks who had been talked down to by other Shotgun ranked players in the past and automatically assumed I was a douche as well. In all honestly the people who were stuck on skulls seemed to be the ones who cared about ranks more than anyone like they had a chip on their shoulder or something to prove. As long as your not intoxicated,cheating or a squeaker I will give anyone a shot reguardless of rank because you have to play with someone before you can determine what type of player they are. I seriously hope the next zombies has a ranking system ( I know i'm prob in the minority)but with wayyyy more ranks because shotguns were no challenge for Vets who have been around since WaW.

I prefer solo and always wanted BO1 to have solo leaderboards but got it in BO2 and was very pleased. Dont play for high rounds(unless solo) due to the fact someone could lag out or rage quit and the round will freeze there. I also hate playing with randoms because it usually doesn't turn out well someone always wants to run things and tell everyone else how to play or what they are allowed to do. Playing solo allows me to get to whatever round I want to and take as many breaks as I want to(pause) and dont have to rush back to my controller. The legnth of the rounds also makes me wanna play solo after 35 with a team the rounds just drag on too damn long and by then someone usually doesnt wanna play anymore or has to go. I'm one hell of a team player believe me I just dont get the same treatment from team mates I usually have to open up all the doors cause they blow all there points on the box, stay alive,revive everyone just to get to round 15 and have someone quit out. So 95% of the time I just play solo don't have to worry about no one but myself.

I believe that rounds have to play some part in the ranking system just don't know how big of a part. The reason I say this is because ppl were glitching on Tranzit when BO2 first dropped and hitting past round 100 with 0 kills and ranking up. It was something to do with claymores in a corner from what I remember. Personally I have always believed your rank has to do with all your stats that show up next to your rank but when you play well your bound to have good stats i guess.

I didnt mind Tranzit as much as other people I accepted it for what it was. The thing that pissed me off was the damn fog I managed to run trains in the fog w/ knuckles for the denizens and the game couldnt handle it and crashed on me multiple times so running trains in fog was not a strategy I could use when playing with a team or solo.

Sometimes I plug in my mic and try to comminuicate but its just not worth the hassle of having to hear nonsence. One thing that really irritates me is hopping into a lobby and being told what staff i am allowed to build and use I LAUGH SOOO HARD when this happens like really. Another reason is buying doors how i hate hearing "Oh look at this guy hes not even gonna open the next door and he has the most points" when I have already opened up doors(the other 3 spent all their points on the box) and have points because I dont rush the box and spend all my points. Most the time I will just unplug my mic once the game starts because when ppl cant manage to stay alive they always wanna blame it on the person with better guns and perks who is doing well it never fails. To top it all off usually the person in the lobby bitching about everyone having mics is the 1st to rage quit (usually around round 10-15) and make the game pointless.
