<div class="IPBDescription">Signs that you'd better leave early?</div> - nobody communication,; no one is responding to your tactical ideas, or msging their own
-5 gorges and no one knows how to make buildings
-cmdr and at least half the marines using leet speak and being uncivil
-cmdr being totally unresponsive, not setting wp if you are waiting patiently in spawn , for > than, say, 2 minutes.
-flame wars going back and forth
can't think of anything else. any other general cues that the match is going to be a poor one? and time to ditch?

OR
none of the marines follow waypoints.
- excessive bitching about the commander
- onos in your spawn point when you join in <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
- lerk gas bombs in your spawn point when you join in (onos are probably just regenerating atm) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
- base is half built up but there is no commander (good chance your team is too far behind to come back at that point or they had a good commander but he got frustrated and left because his team wouldn't listen)
- you have 2 hives but NO upgrades. and ppl are screaming at the gorges to build defense and movement hives and the gorge or gorges responsible are screaming back "I only have 3 things i can build: Offense towers, resource towers and hives!!!!"
(I actually walked into this once... i went gorge but it took so long to get resources, that before i could build the first defense/movement tower the hive i was in got overrun by a huge marine squad.)
-If the commander is not really doing much and is not talking on the voice com or setting waypoints and doesn't respond quickly to simple requests for welders/waypoints etc when you are leading a group of ppl around, you might as well just give up at that point. Take your squad and rush the hive... chances are if you have to evict a commander who really hasn't built anything other than some basics around the command post and more than 20 minutes has passed then you are probably screwed anyhow.

Leave when everyone is banned from commanding.
- leave wen the game as bin taking agez before u got there and has bin going on a stalemate for agez
- no communication between wen u try aliens and marines both
- commander doesn't listen to u but does to everyone else
- stuipid commander not setting waypoitns `n stuff at essential areas
- ur gettin a boot whopping and u dont like losing so u join other team of just bugger off
- no one will listen to u
- asking for medpacks backup etc are ignored
- the commander is a n00b and doesn't know nothing
!im just stuipid so plz dont flame me if i am being a complete royal pain in je backside
your whole team apart from you is gorge and refuse to change.
no-one will go commander and everyone stands around saying "some1 go comm ffs".
you join late in the game and the commander suddenly leaves his booth to get the armour & hmg he gave himself - repeat 3 times in 2mins by same guy.
within 2 mins of start of game the teams are 4/5 marines and 8 aliens and no alien will switch - "i dont play marine".
the gorges on your team build offence chambers exclusively and leave the mucky business of resourcers to the marines.
your commander will not build in a hive and instead builds on isolated resource pts with an accompanying turret factory & 4/5 turrets - "we must get resources first you idiot"
your marine team all scatters to the wind and will not support you to seize/defend an important location.
"you build/shoot and I'll guard and then vice-versa" is ignored by your surrounding marine team mates and a skulk kills all three of you whilst you are busy.
you get in the commanders chair and someone initiates a eject commander vote within 5 mins because you won't/didn't give him a hmg/armour/shotgun/jetpack/wedler/medpack/ammo ( delete as appropriate ).
True. But usually you can tell if it's midgame or if the it's been going for much longer (ie. the aliens had time to make 3 hives and the marines are spread out).
- You hear your commander say 'Oh <censored> they're taking the last hive!' (which you were pretty sure 5 minutes ago couldn't ever be taken with all the turrents jammed in there)
Your teamamates are called NSPlayer.
