View Full Version : Gears of War 2 - Quitting out of matches
ButterflyFairy 01-26-2009, 12:51 PM Okay so WTF. I cant quit out of matches, all the options except the 2 top ones are greyed out and I cant even hover over them. WHY THE **** would I want to play 1vs5 because all my team mates quit out?
Can anyone help me with this? Maybe im just being retarded or this is acutally a problem.
Shane86 01-26-2009, 12:55 PM You have to either go back to the dashboard or sign out of live.
Marcelius 01-26-2009, 01:23 PM Yeah, I have this problem too. I refuse to believe other people have this problem and aren't upset about. What's the POINT of having an option that says 'return to lobby' if you can't PICK it?!
If everyone does have this problem, then I don't understand why there isn't mass bloodshed over this issue. Mass bloodshed. Its ricky retard-o.
Also, hi. I'm new.
Cheese 01-26-2009, 01:41 PM As far as I know the only solution to that problem is to press the Xbox button and leave to the dashboard. Then you have to restart the game again which is seriously annoying.
ButterflyFairy 01-26-2009, 02:18 PM Well thats the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
Also, Hi, Marcelius, Welcome :P
Jonny the Hutt 01-26-2009, 03:17 PM Yeah, that's the only way to quit. It's because people in Gears 1 complained about lag issues too much so they made the leaving option not available. I think it's a good idea personally. You lose more experience if you leave now.
Darksied93 01-26-2009, 04:20 PM I think not adding a Quit button is stupid. Sure, it is a pain in the ass to play a game where it's just you versus 5 other guys. But not adding a Quit button, is not going to stop people who really want to quit, to quit.
They could have made it like Halo 3 and gave you a warning about you losing XP if you quit.
AlmightyEmperor 01-26-2009, 05:54 PM Take it. I've played one on five before. I get owned of course but I make them suffer with me :D
Jus Blaze Man02 01-26-2009, 06:23 PM Take it. I've played one on five before. I get owned of course but I make them suffer with me :D
Good old parting gifts. :lol:
n7ghthawk 01-26-2009, 06:26 PM stupid gears and stupid cliffy B thinking he is too good for a beta. HA I laugh at your ignorance!
well people seem to quit less than in number 1 so w/e

Totally agree. They should at least have the option to quit for the team with least amount of players.
DavGxyz 01-27-2009, 12:17 PM I don't think that people who quit out of the game will give a damn about taking an XP hit, cos their probably no good anyway. :grin: I'd personally just play on anyway. Its only a bit of fun that will be over very quickly with 5 on 1 odds.
However, making people go back to the dashboard is a bit like bullying you into getting punished more and more. :undecided:
Jordan the hobo 01-27-2009, 01:02 PM I hate having the no quit option. it can get rally annoying when its a 5 on 1 What I do now is ask a friend to invite me before the game and if I need to quit ill join their party to get out of a match quicker.
Viibe 01-27-2009, 01:03 PM well people seem to quit less than in number 1 so w/e
Thats so very true.
Marcelius 01-27-2009, 06:16 PM Or you know, maybe you hate the idiots you got teamed with. Maybe everyone's talking BSG spoilers and you want to leave. Maybe the server lag is crap. Maybe you don't feel like play annex anymore.
Idunno. There's a THOUSAND reasons why you might want to leave a match and requiring you to leave the WHOLE game to get out of the match is ridiculous.
Its as if your xbox didn't have a power button and the only way to shut it off was to SMASH it with a cinder block and put it back together when you wanted to play again.
Artemas 01-29-2009, 11:21 AM Yes not having a quit button sucks but unless your house is on fire (or your team mates are all asses) you should not be quiting at all.

Or use the guide shutoff/unplug it:undecided:
