Post: Black Ops 2 Probation system; What is your input?
02-19-2013, 04:10 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Many of you most of noticed the "Probation" system that Treyarch has introduced into Black ops 2, and I personally think it's good, but in another way, bad.

Reason why it's bad: If you get a probation warning (Ie. Exiting a match during the session, aka "Rage quitting"), you must complete games fully, no matter what happens. That's where it gets bad, for example if you get disconnected and/or kicked for whatever reasons (Afk, Team-Killing), this counts towards the system as an early leave, leading to an issue of Probation which lasts roughly 5 minutes, locking you out of multiplayer playlists. If they were to fix the problem, and didn't include being disconnected due to lost connection, or being kicked due to AFK, I honestly wouldn't have a problem with it.

To be honest, I personally like this system, so people would stop leaving their teams halfway through the game, just because they aren't doing well. These people need to realize they aren't just ruining it for themselves, but for the team as well, who is now short one player.

Enough about my opinion on this, I want to hear about yours!

I like it, and happened to me a very few times. Yea, I'm a rage quitter sometimes when I have a row of really really bad games/team/or else.

Lol thank you for correcting me, but still, it's not fair for the users who are disconnected because of a shitty host. And as I previously stated, matchmaking is still an issue on the PS3, so it will take a while to find a decent lobby that doesn't lag. So obviously you'll resort to leaving the game multiple times, and for some people its multiple times in a row.

Its good imo for ppl who quit game after game, but idk many ppl that rage quit or constantly back out that much. I guess there must be if treyarch had to make a system like this. Its bad however, imo because friends inv. you mid games to join them, a room is laggy, started mid game while spawn trapping/ killstreaking going on, teamates playing kiddie games doing anything but playing the game for what it is, boosters, off balance teams( like 6 on one team 1/2 on another), or simply host migrated/ server disconnected and so on. Who wants to stay in lobbies like that

You must leave a ton of games to get probation. I haven't had it once since Black ops came out, and I leave a fair bit.

I personally thinks it's dumb. There's no point in it!
