"What a complete cock up..."

Splinter Cell online, who the hell was in charge of that part of the game? They should be shot.

Won the last 12 games in a row and managed to lose 23 points, that's all I got from it because complete f**k wits left the game, hosts disconnected and not once have I quit a game yet. If someone leaves everyone loses points for it, good one Ubisoft, thick bas*ards. Why not have a script for people who manually leave the game by selecting quit so that ONLY they lose 25 points or what not. I am sick of playing with complete A-Holes who leave just before the scoring screen or hosts who disconnect as soon as it says Missions Successful.

Despite Ubisoft Montreal's attempt to create some decent LIVE titles both their main ones have fallen over due to slack programming and no one thinking about people who are going to randomly leave when they have either lost or are starting to lose. It really is turning into a complete joke, if it isn't for random "The Session is no longer available" messages it's some idiot leaving half way through or right at the end.

I can't believe something so obvious was over looked, sure the scoring system on Rainbow Six 3 was seriously screwed up but at least it could be played if someone left or if some idiot decided to end the session nothing else happened.

It's the way everything is going, they try to complicate things with stupid scoring systems, it should be say 10 for winning and 5 for losing and for each kill or neutralisation you should get an extra point, if someone leaves then ONLY they should lose the points, if they get disconnected then that is a different matter but for people who manually select quit from the menu they should be punished for it.

I sound like a complete nerd doing something like this but it is really pi**ing me off now. If it isn't for little American trailer park trash kids screaming it's someone deciding that because they aren't good enough everyone playing the game will be punished for it as they leave.

Get your act together UbiSoft, less of the technical crap you spew out and more of the practical stuff, a complete over sight to what is otherwise an enjoyable online game and possibly the biggest LIVE title for a long time to come.

Playing the gamem without Mic support would be impossible.

That sounds annoying. And what should be a blatantly obvious flaw! I mean, online has always had trouble from retards who lose/are losing an get in a huff and quit/kill team members etc, so it seems incredible to me that this was not accounted for, especially in relation to the nature of SC:PT multiplayer.

I'll be on it very shortly, and I guess I'll play only with SR players...

Ah well. Seeing as it's live, Ubisoft can patch it! :-)

Splinter Cell online has some serious bugs which I hope to god Ubi are working on, the scoring system also needs changing as this is why me and my mates rarely play it anymore, it's that screwed up.

Managed to go from 320 points down to 165 yesterday and out of 30 games I won 22 of them. That tells you all you need to know.

All because of other people quitting?

Utter rubbish!

Yeah, stupid isn't it?

The complete ar*e feeling about it though is that nothing will be done about it. They won't patch the code for people quiting and because I rarely play a full game with people who I know won't quit it will continue to happen.

I imagine Ubi-Soft are getting enough complaints about it...if not, tell them vehemently.

Would be interested to see in the feedback ratings after the game was released, not that they actually do anything as it seems people who have persistent bad feedback for leaving games haven't been warned yet. The same person has left 4 games I have played out of 4 so I can pretty much say that he will have left many others and received copious amounts of bad feedback.

That sounds really, really crap. If I do eventually get Live I'd probably only play people from SR and people I know, but that really is utter bo**ocks.
