What do you do when your entire team quits?
I was playing Big Team Battle and all seven of my team mates up & left. On the other team, they had one player leave. So it was me vs. seven people. I obviously didn’t do very well. It was on “Complex” so no Banshee or Mantis to help, just ghosts and mongooses … mongeese? lol. Spell check says mongooses.
Anyway, I know that quitting is bad, but is it worse than getting destroyed, which I’m sure affects your CSR?
In a situation like that, is it better to quit or to stick it out and try some guerrilla tactics? It wasn’t standard loadout use either, it was that, what is it? Slayer Pro? Where you get a Carbine & Plasma pistol or BR & magnum, no armor abilities, etc. So, even though I frown on it in normal use, I think in a 1 vs. 7 situation, camouflage camping and sticky-rushes are acceptable. though not possible in this gametype.
Anyway, I stuck out the game. It was actually kind of fun; it turned into more of a cat & mouse, survival hide & seek kind of deal.
But what I want to know is, does it affect your CSR to play such a one-sided match, and should I have just quit with the rest of my team? Or would quitting be worse? Does quitting affect your CSR?
Quitting doesn’t affect your CSR at all. If you quit out of every game you’re about to lose then it’s like you’ve never lost a game as far as CSR is concerned. If you quit before you spawn into a game it wont even show up in your waypoint stats.
Sometimes when you quit it will make other people lag out. The guys on the winning team might get a loss too.

So what you’re saying is, I probably should have just followed my team mates and left?
Well, when you’re outnumbered like that, I don’t think CSR cares.
But, it’s very admirable of you to have stayed in the match. Not too long ago in a CTF match, all of my team quit out on me and left me to fend off against two Mantises (Manti…?) and three other enemies, each with a SAW and I’m pretty sure two with sniper rifles. In Objective it’s a bit harder to stay when your spawn is limited to around your base, and being spawned-camped by a duo of Mantises/Manti wasn’t exactly fun.
So I left… 
But, I think it was the right thing do, staying. Even though it may negatively effect your CSR and K/D (none of which I care about that much), I think what really matters in the end if you want to stay, if you think it’ll be fun.
I don’t think I answered your question, though… :\

Those things don’t really matter to me, either, otherwise I’d be an invisible spawn camping boltshot blasting plasma stickin’ jerk machine.
It was more of a curiosity; I was wondering what other people do. This match was a bit of an exception; I normally leave.
At one point, I was just standing in place teabagging the ground to see how the other team would react … they killed me
If my entire team quite and leaves me to die … Yeah, if JIP doesn’t throw a few players in quickly, I leave as well.
If that happens to the other team, I usually don’t hunt down the remaining player. I grab a vehicle and just drive around the map until time runs out. I might get a couple kills in if they hang around, but I usually avoid them.

In a 1 vs. 7 game, I probably would’ve quit too, since there’s no chance of achieving any sort of positive outcome, whether through a win, positive stats, or just more experience. Back in the Halo 2 and 3 days, I had some fun memories of doing crazy stuff in 1v3, 1v4, and 2v4 situations, but Halo 4 is so random and the skill matches are so poor that “guerrilla tactics” are ineffective and not worth it to me.
In this video, 2:15 - 2:20 was from a Team Doubles game in which my teammate was idle through the first half of the match and we had to do some crazy-awesome teamwork to catch up. We were so close.
If I play TS against noobs and my team still decides to quit I’m usually still able to win alone regardless if JIP or not. If the enemy team is doing well there’s nothing left to do but wait for JIP or leave.
However in other playlists I quit as well ,since there’s no sense to stay.

That happened to me recently in a Halo 3 match (I still play H3 regularly) … it was 4v4 on “High Ground” and half of my team left before the first shot was fired. So it was just me and another Spartan against four others so, 2v4. We ended up winning 50-30, with he & I both getting 25 kills each. And we weren’t playing against a bad team, they knew what they were doing; we were just on it. It was awesome.
I’ve had my share of underdog victories in Halo 4, but nothing like that. I called the local paper to see if they’d run a story about it and have an annual parade in our honor, but they hung up on me. lol
