I was thinking about Cluskevirds questions about rep and feedback today and decided to check my own rep. Turns out I'm not as soft and lovable after all- it say's 28% of players avoided me!

This seems like alot too me, and you can imagine the shock I felt when reading this. Looking closer it say's that 50% of the avoiding players were avoiding me because I "quit early". This is very frustrating to me because even though I really enjoy getting on live and playing with others on a rare occasion I must quit the game early.

You see I have two beautiful daughters and no matter how much fun I am having sometimes I must put gaming on hold to tend to my family. Key word is Family, which is my gamerzone~!

Also my sister has been playing UNO when I'm not around, I'll have to ask her if she's been leaving any games early.

The system also didn't say why the other 50% avoided me. Oh well, I guess that is the price I'll pay for putting my family first. 28% seems like alot of people to me though, and my stars on my gamercard haven't changed. I am confused.

I rented Battlefield 2: Modern Combat on Sunday and I'm having alot of fun with it. It is pretty much the exact same game that I played on the original Xbox(released last October) with some awesome graphics and silky smooth online play. Online this game thrives, with super hard achievments based on the medals from the Xbox version ie: get ten kills with a sniper before dying, play 50 games online, ect. These achievments are about as hard to earn as some of Perfect Dark Zero's. I've played for two day's and only gotten one (five major victories online) and it only gave me five points! I feel like I should get an achievement for getting an achievement in this game.

One glaring flaw in this game is the glitch they are having with the microphone. Seemingly at random your mic stops working and you can no longer hear or say anything through your mic. It is really frustrating in such a team oriented game. I guess EA is working on a fix, and there current statement say's you need to log off Xbox live and log back in to fix it. This is just a band-aid for the problem because I'll just lose communication after a few games. Also heard that if you don't use the guide button at all, you won't lose the mic, still need to try this one. Anyways, I wouldn't be posting about it if it wasn't such a darn fun game.

P.S. I am a little more aware of "feedback" so I'll try to game online when I know I can devote at least 1/3rd of my attention, and only leave if really have to.

Edit- Just found this over at Bungie- its e-mails from people who got banned, very funny stuff.

	Sean R.wrote: Thanks for the comment at my site. I think the whole idea of "rep" should be taken with a grain of salt. I've known people who got bad feedback because the game froze on them and the other person accused them of leaving early too. I only avoid players who's rep is like 75% of people avoid them type of thing. May 24

If someone leaves bad feedback and then chooses to select the one about skill level, it's not like you were a disruptive player, so it doesn't affect the rep. Maybe (and this is pure guesswork) that other 50% of the 28% gave something like that and since it doesn't affect the rep it doesn't show up? :p I've been known to be wrong. . . a lot. heh heh heh May 23
