I\'m a little sick of seeing all my exp go down the tubes because Microsoft makes faulty products. I understand the need for the experience penalty but I\'m still irritated.

EXP Loss

Anyone else a little annoyed by the exp penalty for leaving a game in Halo 3? My 360, like all 360s, isn\'t perfect. Sometimes it just gets too confused and does strange things. Once and awhile the disk tray will randomly open in the middle of a game. Bam, -1 exp. Every now and then the whole system freezes. Bam, -1 exp.

Ya, I know how you feel. Like you said alot of peoples 360's aren't the best so it does weird things. I have a few friends that are still getting used to xbox live and so they are proud when there a private or corpral than not knowing about the penelty there friend will send them a game invite while there playing team slayer and BOOM lose a rank

dud i know exactly how you feel. I lost 6 points so far over dumb freezing problems and I should be higher ranked but every time I check my stats on online, I get mad seeing those lost points. Wonder if we can complain and get them back?

I feel you guys. Bungie definitley has to look into a better way to police this.

I think you guys mean skill points, right. The number by your rank. Its just for matchmaking and doesn't mean anything. I try to keep mine around 20 so that I win more. Exp. points can not be lost, only skill points.

Nope, it's definitely experience points. Normally exp can't be lost, but it can from leaving a ranked game. Check out your rankings page on bungie.net and it'll show a number in red for your total exp penalty. It's the number of experience points you've lost because of leaving games.

My bad!!! Don't think I ever left any game. But I refuse to go to the Hype site to check. Leaderboards should have been in the game. Not thrilled with Halo right now. Most of the people on my friends list want to play ranked. No one is playing together anymore. No friends in a ranked game just blows. ( yes, I know why they did it that way ) The last few weeks have been the most boring I've ever had online. Sorry about the rant!!!

Lucky duck. I've left far too many games, all unintentionally.

People do their best to get around systems. People would probably turn of their wireless routers to force a connection lost if necessary.
