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've never come across probation even though I leave a lot of games. I have about a 1.13 W/L, with about 620 wins so.. Not a big "rage-quitter," I just play with myself a lot (Don't say it) so if I spot a lose, I might as well save some time by just leaving.

i dislike the probation system..its bad enough bo2 lags and when we are forced to play a laggy game or join a game and you are put on the team thats either getting destroyed or on the end of a lodestar missile. we should have the freedom to leave if we like, its our game.. bo2 probation worst thing ever nuff said

I personally do not like it. I play hardcore capture the flag a lot so you have to be careful with RPGs and grenades but sometimes you will team kill and get kicked. I've been kicked and lagged out enough that I've been in probation a couple times. Frankly it's bullshit that I get punished because their probation system is too broad.

Hopefully 3arc and Vonderhaar will start working on the system and optimizing it. It should only put you in probation if you dashboard/rage quit. It's nice that they punish people for dashboarding, but punishing people just because the system is flawed isn't fair.

I hate the probation system, and I'm pretty sure a lot of other people do as well. Especially when you get lagged out.

I don't get why there's a "Leave Game" option if you're going to get a 5 minute ban for leaving
