Probation useless update?

Posted by JDX on Nov 23, 2012 10:47 AM

Alright, the idea is nice in all, but there is far to many problems with it. Not only that, but why would they waist their time on such an update when their are far more important things. My friend was given some warning saying if he leaves any further games he will be put on probation. We played a game when it ended we left that lobby and he was then put on 5 minute probation.

 

Beside's the above here's why I think this update is rather useless and needs tweaking bofore it can be utilized correctly.

 

(I HAVE XBOX SO THIS IS USING THOSE KEYWORDS).

This is caused when your account loses connection to the game unexpectedly. Which means if you unplug your console, go to the dashboard, your power get's cut out, your connection is awful and you are disconnected, or you lose connection to Xbox Live. You will be put on probation since the game believes you left to get out of your game. Now 2 of those 5 reasons are your own fault, but 3 of them are out of your control.

 

Now that's not my only issue. I understand that people rage when they aren't doing that great. However there's usually key reasons why people would leave a game.

 

-The enemy team is much better than them.

-You are doing really good, but then start dying 5+ times and are angry about that.

-The enemy team is staying in a location all together and you're unable to get to them.

-Enemy team doesn't do the objectives and instead only goes for kills when you want to do the objectives.

-The enemy team are staying in various locations so your team always spawns in 1 area. Which results in area locking.

-The enemy team locks your players into a desinatated spawn which results in spawn killing.

-Large portion of the enemy team are "Head-Glitching", which means you can only see the tops of their heads, but they can shoot no problems.

-You kill someone they spawn behind you and kill you multiple times.

-The game has insane amounts of lagging. Making it unplayable or undesirable to play.

-You join into a game with the enemy team having insane amounts of scorestreaks. Resulting in a large # of deaths.

-You join into a game that's nearly ready to end and their is no way you can come back.

 

Some of the reasons are obvious the player just isn't having a good day or met with a team much better than them, but I've also listed a few other issues that aren't the players fault, but as you can see their is so many problems which are geared in the reason why people leave games.

 

I don't believe a normal backout causes this only disconnections unexpectedly, but you should also see that when you've racked up a large amount of deaths over these issues many people get very angry and will dashboard or press the power buttons, but as previously mentioned there are more reasons you could be disconnected unexpectly so it's really hard to say if the person is at fault.

Fix the zombies door. When two players open both doors of a building within 3 seconds of each other. The doors are purchased twice resulting it the barriers not being removed. So you can no longer get inside this building. This can be performed easily and on any building. I haven't tested 2 players purchasing the same door yet.

    I have quit a few games for the reasons mentioned above. I never received a probabtion yet and I hope it was just an isolated incident.

     

    I don't want to finish a game where there is an insanely amount of lag and lag comp while the opposing team just camps in one area of the map because they fell behind.

     

    I've had games where we were winning in Kill Confirmed 50-15, then all of a sudden lag and camping begins. Next thing I know the score is in their favor 70-65. I hate how people are camping in groups now, its not just one person.

      Its been removed on PS3, so I don't understand why it is still ongoing with the 360.  I have the game on both machines and it is fricking annoying when I get a probation on the 360 for either leaving match early (especially when I get put in a game where we have been spawn trapped) or host leaves early by pulling plug which forces a hard reset ..... and I receive a punishment ...... ridiculous!

    NO!  I use this method in Grief all the time to lock out the other team from the mystery box.  The MP5 and M14 are all you need to win against noobs.
