I'm completely new to this game. I've played about 20 games so far, and in those 20 games i've only had about 5 normal games where there were no leavers/afkers. I'm new to the whole FPS, so I'm wondering if this is just common in the genr...

All of my friends work full time and getting all of us on right at 6cst will never happen. Last time, we started the queue at 6:55cst because bad traffic make a few of us get home late. We’ll most likely only get to play 1 game at that time...
