the one thing I HATE is when you are on a losing team in battlefield - everyone quits but you and 5 other people and the other team comes to your base - takes your vehicles - and instead of leaving just pounds the spawn points so you can move all of an inch before you are dead.

Please...they don't need any help or more a-holes to add to their ranks. This is why I think that Xbox-Live should allow age specific matchmaking. I know kids would lie, but it'd be a start. Or you could do it based on percentage of bad feedback.

SGT Monty - I totally agree and would even pay extra to be able to use a good age filtering system!

Some guy started teamkilling because he was "bored"

I agree with #5... a guide? I think many players out there are perfectly capable of A-hole-ness without any instruction, thank you.

Everyone quits when losing on halo 2. We'll just barely lose a round (best out of 3 flag match) and suddenly 4 people leave. Well, there goes any chance of winning, so everyone else leaves.
I'd like to add a few thing to their list.
1. Talk in as high pitched of a voice as you can
2. Use racial slurs, even if (and especially if) the people on the other end don't fit the racial stereotype (or aren't even the same color or race) as the slur you are using
3. If you are driving a vehicle with other people in it, immediately drive it off a cliff and scream "WOOOOOOOOOO" in the microphone
4.Take the rocket launcher/energy sword/sniper rifle and then run to the enemy base and die, thus giving it to them and ruining your teams chances of victory.
Keep these things in mind, and you too will be a first class trolley A-Hole
