I ran a game on my level 17 talon mercenary. One player was purposely dying so that he/she could AFK throughout the game while the other was playing intermitently (prehaps IRL was keeping him/her occupied, that's always a possibility). What do you do about players who die on purpose though? If you exit the match you penalize everyone else who have to find another game, but at the same time there isn't much you can do about the AFKer...
Thoughts?
that's why you only play plat with friends. in gold I really don't care if they afk/leech.
40min plat? not worth the credits.
I'd say this was an epeen thread but there's nothing to brag about in that screenshot.
When people do that during games, I literally will quit. I don't care about credits or equipment, so they can leech off the other N7 55 in the game, see how far that gets you.
Yep I do this very regularly, afk leeching is a specialty of mine. The trick is to locate a spawn at the start of each wave, run in and get killed. There's not much you can do about it unfortunately, it's good for me because I get easy platinum credits to buy recruit packs, but it makes hacks and escorts difficult for your teammates but they should still be able to pull through and win the game. Sometimes I'm too busy to pay attention to the screen so I just leech and get easy credits. I can't make out that screenshot, is my gamertag on there? I leeched a few platinum games earlier today.
I can play a Volus Protector with medigel transmitter and laugh while your ass attempts to die.

Hindsight is 20/20. I didn't know that two players were going to AFK most of the match before it began.

I guess you didn't read the rest of my post if that's all you got out of it.

did you even check to see if they had stuff equip?
if not...
Haha in that case, I'll go up to banshees/brutes or any insta kill units with the intention of getting grabbed, I'll even use an ops pack to make sure I stay on my feet long enough to get grabbed
I have never used the Medi-Gel Transmitter, so I can't confirm.... but I thought I remembered someone saying that it can actually revive players who have been sync-killed.

No, but this is BSN. 
I was serious about leaving the game though; I feel no sympathy for anyone playing platinum who can't carry, so if there's a leech & 2 noobs....oh well, maybe they should have been playing bronze.
Effort is a concept far beyond the capabilities of many, unfortunately i dont think there is an actual rule or anything which lets you report people who AFK. I think Halo Reach is the only game i played where the devs tried to punish those leeches but it was so long ago that i cant remember if it worked. Just leave the game, if everyone keeps leaving the leech then they get rewarded in exact for their effort: Nothing
worthless pugs? Who would have thought?
First off - Acicm I just love your gifs - keep em coming!
Second off. leaches in MP you say?
Sorry man but that have been going on forever, I remember the good old days in WoW when players like that joined 25 man raids, man was there nerd rage and then some!
If I were in a game with a goddamn cain mine spammer, I'd probably go AFK too.
How did you manage to make the game last 40 minutes as him without going AFK yourself at some point?

The problem was you finished it and he got away with it. Too late to complain about it now.
That's Cold Excella, that's Cold....

Not as cold as Cain Mine spamming. This is "Excella" we're talking about, and she's a cold chick. Luckily we have a user named: Wesker on BSN.
Whatever.........
I'm Patrick Bateman, don't expect me to pay attention to details.
Its almost as bad as a suit rat with Arc nades
is it hot in here? 
So Dorsia
Not like you nerds would ever get in theere, just saying!
Hey at least you had your Cain mines though right? 
Seriously though when this happens I sorta wish there was a votekick in game, but then I remember how ridiculous that can get in L4D. Kick them in the lobby and send them your hatemail. That's the best you can do. Or just leave.
