Ditto... Its screwed up.. You can only create and invite to matches now.. Ubi has the worst ranking system first off.. Secondly.. They screwed up fixing it.. WTG Ubi!

Until most everyone gets the patch, Ubi announced that veryone may experience problems with Optimatch and Quickmatch.

Yeah well the whole patch is REEETARDED... You now get docked 100 full points for quitting/disconnecting.. And I happened to disconnect losing 100.. Thats uber ghey. Its wrong. I know Id complain about the point system alot before. I think its worse..

then stop quitting games and hurting other people when you should know better. I'll check out what else was updated being that I posted this on the front page today, and hell, I think it's time to get some games in this week, once I get some free time.

From the xbox.com forums -


Improved features:
We have increased communication quality in the lobby and now indicate who is talking in the lobby.
When creating a game session, the player can now specify the language he wishes to speak. In optimatch results, we display the language the host selected. We also offer new optimatch criteria letting you specify the desired language.
We've prevented the "Games in a Row" and "Revenge" parameter to be used in ranking mode.
When the host changes the game mode or the ranking option, we indicate this to the other players (the game mode is displayed in orange, the ranking icon blinks). This remains until the ready state is switched on again.
In-game, we now add a little up or down arrow to show whether an objective indicated by an Enhanced Reality icon is located below or above the player's location.
We now test if there is an opposite wall close enough before sticking a spy trap.
Main bugs fixed:
We no longer display a corrupt profile message when a profile is created in the offline part and then used in the online part. New profiles may now be used in both parts safely.
There was a temporary or complete freeze in-game when hacking a ND133 or at the end of a game. It's now fixed.
When a player fell on the head of another player, he might have stayed frozen there for a few seconds. This has also been fixed.
We have enhanced the ranking system:
Ranking Levels have been recomputed using a linear system (100 points = 1 level). Players above 10,000 points are ranked AA. Players with negative points are ranked 0.
When a player leaves a game session, we now give a fixed and higher penalty (25, 50 or 100 depending on current scores). And penalties may be applied partially (as long as a player has some positive points in the current specific leader board). If the penalty cannot be applied completely, the remaining penalty is kept and will be applied next time.
The ranking score board now contains more information:
Number of points lost during the game
Penalty applied (due to a disconnection at a previous game session)
Total number of points in the specific leaderboard (e.g. "spy in neutralization mode")
Total number of points in overall leaderboard
The number of points lost or gained are computed using the overall leaderboard points.
We keep track of the number of penalties applied and display it in ranking details when reading from the overall leaderboard

another bug they fixed was the ability to place mines above your head, so high that you couldn't remove it...damn, i miss that :cry:

also, they tryed to fix the whole "mute, unmute, then talk when your dead" thing, but you have to do it a different way now. if you're all out of lives, you have to wait for your teammate to be dead, and mute and unmute em during the respawn countdown. when they respawn, you 2 can communicate like the old bug let ya :)

I really really really hate this game now, I don't know if its because of the update or not. But I have gone from some were around 365 points to now 156...I have only gotten better but I still loose EVERY game. I also hate this patch because of all the BS it does to your rank and the fun bugs it fixed. I think I'm going to stear clear of this steam pile of B.S. for awhile:(

i think its great of course i'll have to find new places for mines and spy traps tho, but if u leave the game i've always said u shld lose alot of pnts like 25-100 so that u won't do it because it'll help better every 1's game....i also like the no revenge thing because that takes almost a full 20-30 min and sometimes i have to go during that time so i lose like 30 pnts rahter then gain pnts for at least the first game maybe the 2nd....anyway i think its a good patch.....i can't wait for the two new levels i think its jungle and soem computer level due out by 6/5

I never quit! Thats the thing.. Sometimes Ill just be on and I dont know why but my modem decides to refresh or something.. It happens every once in a while where everything is offline for a quick minute and it refreshes..Losing my connection.

They should determine a difference between diconnection and quitting... As someone who has always despised quitters and has never been one..This Pisses me off..
With especially the fact that the game I disconnected from I was no doubt gonna win. 2 minutes left and the spies never left the 1st sector nor killed me..WTF

I think the ranking now is not too good lol but the comms in the lobby are awsome but everything else is not too good but alas it is Ubi even if the whole world wanted to go back to the way it was they wouldent listen but they do make good games............

right before the update me and mm3 purposely lost a bunch of games so we could get our levels down to 3 or so so ppl would think we were n00bs... now with the update, if we had kept our points we would be level 8's or 9's by now... instead we're measly level 4's...

somehow mm3 lost all his points and is back down to 1 though... weird.

I am at level 6 and I connot get to lvl 7 everytime I go over 600 I lose points even if I win! weird huh? anyhow the point system is by far the worst on any XBL games, there is no way peeps can get over 10,000 in the amount of time the game has been out! but still..... and besides Ubi seem to be stuck what to do with them there called AA wtf? Above Average?? or does it mean I have no life bring on the lvl 1's???

Ubi your going soft in the head heh heh ubi SOFT........ :D
