Frankly, we're worried about the Live *******s, but we're confident they'll find some way to make people's lives miserable wherever they go.

If you play Splinter Cell on Live, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Finding a good couple of guys to play with is like finding a pearl in your Captain Crunch. It's ****ing rare. Once you do find these mythical opponents, there are long pauses between rounds so that "J. R. R. Tokin'" can maintain his state of mind. Nine times out of ten, not an exaggeration, your enemies will disconnect before the game is even over - let alone before each team gets a chance to play both sides, which again almost never happens. For pure chicanery and/or mischief, your average Live player ranks very near Leprechauns.
*******************************

Everything he has to say is TRUE. And the reason behind all of this? In game statistics. Stat *****s are killing the experience for Live players. Even though the Penny Arcade comic is funny, the situation on Live ISN'T. Get rid of the stats. Or if your going to keep the stats, have the penalty for dropping out of a game before it ends be HUGE. I'm talking, drop you down a whole level huge. This is insane people. Get on the ball UBI and FIX THIS NOW!

I agree 100%, one or the other, there is no happy medium... I still think my idea of (who ever was winning at the time ND133s neutralized, Kill count etc) should be counted up to the point that the person dropped.

i think they are they just trying to figer out how the hell to set the points upp

hay i have to say this but i herd that scpt sells as drop and price drop cause of the multy player issue? if so i saw this comin boy you guys need to fix stats asap or add more players and cut out that u dont get points if you dont compleat your mission in multyplayer...


my console can beat yours, right babes?

2 solutions

1# Play with the same group of guys. It is what your FL is for.

2# Turn rankings off. People complained that in RB63 you could not turn of the stat tracking NOW it is that it's presence is a problem.


I was going to say stop with these threads they are getting old, real old but I just noticed that you signed up just to post this.

You should change the title to DEVELOPERS PLEASE IGNORE!

I'm glad i got the game for PC. I dont have any of the ranking system problems (of course there is no ranking, but personally i could care less) and finding good people to play with online is pretty easy. There are still smacktards out there, but thats true of any game. It only takes me a min or two and i'm play'n with respectful players.

I think the Xbox has a generally younger audience and they account for much of the lame stat whoring, trash talking immaturity. Only a child would care that much about his xbox live rank.....

If your really upset about your xbox live experiance and love the game maybe you should consider going PC. Great job on the PC version UBI, looking forward to a friends list!!!

It is not that difficult to find good gamers on XBL. I game with about 30 people on a regular basis and I have yet to run into 90% of the issues posted up in this forums. It is just of my opinion that the most vocal people post this stuff up without researching or handling the issue themselves.

Being that I am one of the less vocal people about issues like this I could not stop myself from replying to this thread with that title.

I play this game almost everyday and played RB63 a lot. If you were to listen to all of the posts in either forum you would think the sky is falling. This is not the case though. So I will stick with my XBox thank you . Although, you PC users can take some of the complainers.

BTW, I like your forum name l3lack_Jesus.

You are making this to much of a big deal, I play with the same team mate and always new opponents and 95% of the time they will stay even if they are gona lose so SHUT UP AND RELAX AND PLAY AND HAVE FUN AND SHUT UP AND IF YOU ARE 21+ doesnt instantly make you the perfect xbox live player, a lot of the a-holes on live are 21+.

I stay and take my lumps if i'm getting beat like a dog. I look at it this way, if someone is way better than you, stick around, you may be able to learn something to improve your own skills.


Some people are alive simply because it's against the law to kill them.

*edit* whatever...just forget it.

But let's get back to the issue of XBL dying.
