I'm getting so fed up with online gaming at the moment! I play Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 & Yuri's Revenge online quite a lot now, and when I have a full decent game against someone, whether win or lose, I enjoy it.
However, the majority of these online gamers will not stay in it til the bitter end! It's so annoying!
They're virtually winning, nearly destroyed your base, but you just manage to pull through on the defensive. You repair and rebuild and manage to build a squad of Tanks and Rocketeers, and as soon as they see them coming, they quit!
What's the point in playing a game if you're not going to stick it out? Surely if they concentrated a bit more on their base defenses and not on the amount of tanks they have, they'd be able to defend themselves and counter-attack like I do.
But no! They're not prepared for a loss. They just play to build a few tanks and cause complete and utter annihilation. Gee, that's fun! Why play a game where you're gonna either win, or just quit? It's not very entertaining. Surely a loss would make you all the more ready for another attempt, and being beaten means you can learn from your mistakes and try again!
Bloody Americans! I shouldn't just blame them, it often happens on the European servers too. However, when playing the Europeans, they think they're gonna catch something because you don't know more than how to say your name in German or French! I find that not saying anything at all is going to get more games on European servers than even saying "hi" would.
Ah well, that's my ranting and raving for now on the matter of online gaming.

I come across this a lot playing Broodwar. Also annoying is when you know you're going to lose, and the aggressor just keeps repeating:
ally end?
ally end?
ally end?
ally end?
ally end?
ally end?
And I keep replying:
No. Come and get me you coward.
No. Come and get me you coward.
No. Come and get me you coward.
No. Come and get me you coward.
Just because they know I'm dug in like a tick, and they'll lose loads of units digging me out, probably making me win scorewise.
Sad really.

I admit it's not fun to lose but I never quit just because I am gonna get my base destroyed after an attack. I think it is just polite to continue to the end and allow the winner to get all of your base. Not to say I don't take out as much of their attacking force as possible.
Which faction do you use in Yuri's revenge?
