    I keep getting blocked from Cod because I keep "leaving games before they finish", yet I never do! I have to wait for my probation to finish each time I log on!

    Anyone else?

    It's when you turn off your xbox during a game. I got one when I turned it off with like 10 seconds to go in a game. You can leave a game as many times as you want and yet someone like me who has a positive W/L ratio playing on my own gets a warning when I turn off the console with the clock counting down on a game, if it gave them when people leave normally it would actually solve a lot of the problems with the game.

    People get put into probation for dashboarding. Just keep your eye on the kill feed and you'll see people doing it. The amount of sad cnuts dashboarding, just to save their stats on a video game is laughable.

    It can happen if you lose the connection to host too. Game doesn't seem to be able to tell difference between that and dash boarding.

    Thats the thing that get me.. I don't dashboard or turn the xbox off while in game constantly. It would be nice if they could actually tell the difference between loosing connection and just quitting

    Or if the people who left everytime they died a couple of times got the warning. I'd say there's people out there with a 50% or higher DNF but have never seen the message but I have with I'd say a 2 or 3% because I turned the game off 10 seconds too early once.

    Another major flaw in this game. Playing hardcore TDM, accidentally kill a couple of team-mates, get kicked and then get the 5 minute probation on top of that.

    I understand getting probation for dashboarding, but not for "accidental team killing". Fook that.

    The Hardcore TDM is a lot better than normal TDM in fairness, but not when you have a rogue Golly on your team runnin amok and killing anything that moves !!!!
    YAWWWWWWWWW :eek:
