:mad: You shouldn't unpause, maybe they're busy with something, receiving a phone call or something, and you unpausing, doesn't make you win fair.

Beh. I honestly care less. Whenever I get busy with something, I let the game go by or let him/her win if I know I'll be busy for a long time. ;/

I do agree that pausing and unpausing would be annoying, so I was thinking there should be a gap between pausing and unpausing where either players cannot pause or unpause for a short time, like 5 seconds.

I also think players should have a limit to how many times they can pause the game. Maybe like 3 pauses per game?

They should say if they need to do something, then pause. A few of my opponents pause the game without giving a reason and if they don't have a reason, I unpause.
Remove the pause button. Every game you play online doesn't have a pause feature for a reason. This is the only multiplayer online game that i've seen have a pause feature, but shouldn't have one....

I completely agree. Pausing is a nice feature, but it should only be held in unranked games. In ranked games, you can get frozen and the system is open for abuse.

Like what WyzDM said, he makes a great point. Why should we wait for strangers (even though their loving and friendly :() in a game?

In an unranked match, the pause feature would make sense. Like... let's say that your friend wants to get something to drink. It's a good reason to pause the game because you know him and he is telling the truth.

Agreed :) Some ppl that I fought use Pause when they almost lose to annoy me and hope I would surrender somehow (happen to me many times). For ppl who have reasons to pause the game, I still unpause after 3 mins. Time is valuable to everyone, so don't waste too much time on pausing.
