RE: Fear the Coach
I'd say 1 out of 6 games results in the other team shutting down the server by raging out when I play. However, this is easy to combat if your team doesn't consist of a group of trash talking 15 year olds that provoke them to. Rage really isn't a problem if it's during the time of day where player volume is decent since somebody else jumps into the game a minute after somebody leaves and the bots fill in for the interim.
The challenge is finding somebody who doesn't suck, cheat, or grieve and then friending them immediately.
I'm going to bring up Halo Reach because it is awesome now. Too many rage quits during the course of a day in Reach results in a temporary ban from the game (I think it's only like a half hour but maybe it ramps up if you continue to do it). Questionable since you DO pay for the game and you have the right to play it as you wish, but better to screw over some rage filled kid than the rest of the games community. I'd love to see Valve build in controls like that.
