And many people prefer to not play games where they have to suffer through however long a match takes in a hopeless effort to maybe not lose _that_ much.

I would vastly prefer if every match I play makes me at least _feel_ like I have a chance to win if I try hard enough, than have a large percentage be obvious losses leading only to frustration and waste of time.

In dirty bomb there were three objectives per match and if you somehow stomped the other team on defense the match would end after 5 min ran out on the first objective. If you stomped the team on offense then it was possible to complete all objectives in 7 minutes or less. On the other hand if there was actually a stalemate then the match could last the whole 15 minutes. It's an "old" game though. It's officially shutdown but the servers are still running.

Dirty bomb started off well but the classes and maps they added later on slowly sank it. One of my favourite fps's.
