How do you handle yourself when you get owned in a game?

This thread was inspired by one over in the 343 forums. When you just keep getting killed, you lose, you get beaten by somebody better than you, what do you do? Do you rage, yell into the mic and throw the controller each time you die? Do you send the enemy team an angry message, written out carefully explaining how much you hate them? [b]Do you stop playing and give up, blaming the game for your loss?[/b] [i][b]Or do you accept that you did bad and you got owned, blame yourself, learn from your mistakes, and try again, determined to get better and trying not to repeat your mistakes from the last game?[/b][/i] I'm pretty sure the fact that most players do not do the last example is the reason many competitive games have been reduced to "accessible" piles of casual randomness.

  • I ensure I message the best performers on the other team with a good game or light hearted quip about how butthurt I am after being thrashed. Usually they deserve the praise for teamwork or stellar individual performances and I will often try to stay for a rematch too, why not? I enjoy playing against regular teams or better players for the most part. Trash talking has diminished with Reach & 4 so I have no issue sending such messages off. Pre game trash talking should return though, priceless stuff right there.
