If there was a Steam rep sytem, I'm pretty sure I'd be at 95% right about now. That's kinda extreme though.

Sarlacc

I got one or two neg reps for "leaving a game early"

Not my fault the connection drops out on occasion.

I usually leave neg rep for excessive blabbers who do nothing but stupid unintelligent and often hate crime worthy phrases.

Its amazing half the people on live were even smart enough to sign up.

I think I'm going to start negative rep-ing all those racist fuckers on COD4... there's sooooooooooooooo many of them. They sound so damn ignorant they have no idea... Every other word is the "n" word.

TLyoung'un

I'm at 80 something % right now. Most of it is due to my supposed unsportsmanlike gameplay.

Silencer + UAV jammer = unsportsmanlike gameplay

Costco

I do the same thing.... that's probably what they neg me for too.

Juggernaut is more unsportsmanlike, if anything. I shot this other sniper with juggernaut on (I didn't have stopping power) 4-5 times in the upper chest with the Remington 700 and he didn't die! I swear I shot him in the head too.... maybe not but he just didn't die.

TLyoung'un

I think what happens is I'll have silencer and uav jammer on and our team has uav.

I see someone coming up on the minimap so i'll hide and wait for him to advance and kill him. Of course in their death cam, it just shows me camping and waiting and makes them furious. I've been called out on this so many times..

They fail to recognize that there is no way I would get as many kills as I do just by camping in 1 spot all game..

is300eater

I must have a ton of neg reps from my claymores then How do you check? under barracks? cuz I looked earlier and didn't see it

Islandsnowz

where do you go to check this?

Costco

You check your rep by pressing your Xbox Guide button (the big X in the middle of your controller) then going into the tab all the way on the right, click profile, then view rep I think.



I'll have my volume slightly cranked up, and I usually use dead silence on my ninja class so I can sprint and I won't make a sound. If I hear footsteps and there's no one around me on my minimap I'll hide and wait for him too. On Downpour I was running around to the enemy's side, and I was in the grass when I heard footsteps (multiple) so I went prone and saw two guys pass. I killed one while prone, and the other guy froze in place so I got up and shot him too.

They were MAD afterwards. Said I had no skill because I was camping at a door riiiiiight, because 1 vs 2 is soooo fair. They're so stupid to not realize that its stupid to go guns blazing like that especially with UAV jammer

I don't camp either most of the time especially if I have UAV jammer. But sometimes there's an invisible line across the map I won't pass until air strikes/helicopter comes because I don't wanna be running around their spawn so that some dude spawns right behind me

yeah really, I rarely neg rep anyone, but the excessive racist comments or excessive blabber, I do neg rep. The funny thing is, these fuckers wouldn't dream of saying the same things they say online to someone's face.

I also neg repped some asshole who was giving this 50 something year old a hard time because of his voice. The guy was recovering from cancer for God sakes, yet this punk ass kid wouldn't just shut the hell up and was making fun of him for having cancer and saying crap like he should have died and if his voice sounded like his he would kill himself.


BTW: Love the Dead Silence on COD4, so underrated.. Nothing like sneaking up behind a habitual camper and shooting him in the ass.

is300eater

so, I'm at 64%...

FiftyFive

One of my accounts was 100% avoided. My other one is probably around 70% avoided. All Halo crap.

CLpower

thank god they don't have this for PS3....I turn into a freakin 12 year old that just learned how to curse mother fuckers out when I put my headset on

CLpower

most of them don't even know what they are saying...it blows my mind

AznX TL

40% avoided, for behavior: Aggressive, unsporting
im playing in underground zone, ofcourse you're suppose to be aggressive and unsporting.

TLyoung'un

just checked mine again today.. 94%

Costco

so did you have trouble finding matches or what? heh, I can only imagine, if NO ONE wants to play with you, then...

jesus and your account isn't that old either is it?

I might as well neg you too so you'll just get to 100% already, its not going to get any better

TLyoung'un

Yeah.. it's not that old..

Tried to look up what happens when you have a lot of bad rep and found this.. don't know how reliable it is though.
"Rep is used to pair you with players in player and ranked matches. The more your rep goes down, the more you'll play with other low rep people. This is to keep respectable players and trashy players separated on the service."

Ken1997TL

Big friggin'

I play dirty too

Costco

No wonder I always play with shitheads.... I always get stuck on the team with the guy who goes 0-16 or in the same game as some asshat who can't stop complaining about this that or the other.

TS_eXpeed

I don't know if this is the same thing....I don't know percentage, but I have 5 stars.

Are those related?

FiftyFive

Not really, but then again i didn't use that account as much.

Costco

Doubt it.... I have a full 5 stars and I have an 89% avoidance rating. Others get the same thing. The only people that usually have less than 5 stars are newbies

Do you get this rep from enemies or peeps on your team? Never even heard of this. I thought you could only get docked for cheating/glitching or bad language.

Costco, my guess is you get the bad rep because you are too damn good. People are haters.

TS_eXpeed

How do you check your avoidance rating?

Costco

I think you can get rep from anyone. If you go to someone's gamer card, you can submit a player review, positive or negative. I usually don't bother unless its a team killer or someone being really offensive on the mic. Annoying people I just mute.

Yeah, I'm pretty good

rise

do you guys have less than 5 stars then?

I don't even use my headset unless I am playing with somebody I know. Too many douchebags flapping their gums about dumb shit. Plus I'm too cheap to buy a new headset, and that one that came with the 360 hurts my head after a while.

TS_eXpeed

I have 50% avoidance and preference....

Not because of others submitting reviews though.
Only from the system lagging up and getting mysteriously zapped out of a game or from the few times I've quit a game.

Rapture

Hahaha, I always knew it was near impossible to actually get booted from Xbox Live. I mean, get your account banned completely for whatever behavior.

I mean shit, I remember reporting some kid who had some racial slur in his GamerTag, and I bumped into him a couple months after I reported. I'll bet he's still running around, haha.

Eoanou

Mine was 77% avoided because of Halo, it's probably gone down with SF4, not my fault I've been challenged by the same person 5 times in a row and wrecked them.

Costco

Mine improved to 87%

probably thanks to L4D

cM3go

Costco said I can return my Xbox Elite because it died! W00t, where can I get a new Elite the cheapest?

r3mix3r

Hey guys, what's up?

Just curious my best option for setting up XBOX Live in my new apartment. My comcast cable modem is up stairs plugged directly into my computer via an ethernet cable. I'd like to run it downstairs, but I don't think it would be feasible to hard wire it.

If I were to go wireless, what is the best way to do it? Also what should I buy? And will the connection be stable, and playable?

Thanks in advance.

I use powerline ethernet adapters to connect my entertainment center (XBOX 360 and Dish DVR) to the Internet. It works like a charm.

In fact, this is what I bought...

http://www.amazon.com/Actiontec-Mega.../dp/B000QGBC8C

One adapter connects to a switch behind my entertainment center and the other adapter connects to my router. I've had zero problems so far.

Leo Type-S

Are refurbished xbox 360s ok? Are they reliable or should I just buy a new one? Looking to buy one, and i'm just shopping around. Where is the cheapest place to buy one? Is the 20gb hard drive upgradable later? I'm wondering if 20 gigs is sufficient. Thanks ppl

doopstr

360s have had a lot of failures. I'd be a bit nervous. Checkout Gamestop, they are sure to have them.

TS_eXpeed

Can't say about the reliability.

20GB is upgradable.

Is 20 gigs enough?
Well, when Microsoft was running things like they were when the 360 first came out, unless you where putting lots of music/movies/etc on the HD, 20 gigs would be more than enough.

The problem I see possibly running into now though (I have a 20 gig as well), is recently, they have been doing alot of the game "expansion packs" strictly through downloads only.

If you are hardcore into gaming with many games and want the expansion packs, you may find yourself running into a capacity problem.

With that said, if for whatever reason, you were swayed to buy new instead of used, just go ahead and buy the elite version since it has the higher capacity drive, and to buy 'a la carte' would be more expensive.

WdnUlik2no

yeah even the new ones have a lot of problems, I'd be very wary of getting a refurb.

In the span of 2 years I've had 5 XBOX Pro's replaced, and 2 XBOX Elites replaced.
