He had such sense of honour that he wouldn't just have walked away. I wonder if he had even asked Aragorn and Legolas and Gimli for help before chasing the orcs. (Read the following before judging my point: )
The situation would just have been so different. There maybe wouldn't have been any chasing of the orcs; Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas (and Boromir) wouldn't have had to "waste" time in burying Boromir and such; they would have get to work much sooner than they actually did.
