So, this is something I have been frustrated with about live ever since I got it for original xbox 4 years ago. Why can't every game follow the Halo 2 & 3 matchmaking standard? I am tired of having to join someone else's game hosted on their system and be at their mercy as to whether or not I can play and how I have to play. People don't usually boot you just for being rude, disruptive, etc. They boot you if you didn't play well enough, they want to cherry pick who they play against, because you didn't follow some house etiquette or they just simply want to be an ass. If I have to pay for a gold membership to play other people online there should be no other player that has the ability to boot me from a game. It should all be hosted by the service, on the same kind of neutral ground for everyone you would get in an arcade, sports complex, or wherever you pay money to play games. Recently, in Soul Calibur 4, I join a game and watch the other matches and wait for my turn. Then when it is my turn I ready up and the host boots me so they can play again. Or I play once and they boot me the 2nd time around. It's not just that game, and tho it's not like I get booted a lot or anything its just something over time it has worn on me quite a bit. Anyone else hate shit like this? Or think that if they pay for a service, it should be a service which is hosted and moderated by official people, and run by an automated matchmaking server? |

You make some solid points in that rant of yours. As much of any of us may agree with you, though, it won't change much if you don't send that to Micro$haft. :) |

I've never been booted off of a game (at least on Halo 3), and I'm rubbish. I've been abused by the other players, fatally betrayed, had my Rep ruined by kids, Americans with something against Brtis, chavs against a non-chav, I've delibertaly let a side down that i got the arse with... but I've never been booted. How can someone boot you? I didn't think anyone in particular Hosted a game as such, unless it was a private match? |

Oh sorry, I just read your post properly... so Halo 2 and 3 are the exceptions... ok. Sorry to hear about your bad experience, I would've assumed the Halo way was the only sensible way, considering what fucking cocks you get on those games. |

This problem is as old as online gaming itself. Shame you have to pay for the priviledge. |
