Rainbow Six....where to start?

[paranoia13]

First off, I have NEVER in my life seen a more elitist game on ANY platform. People will stop at NO length to boot you if you are on the *STACKED* team and a low rank, or force you to go to the poor team. Every time the host's team is losing he kicks EVERYONE out because god forbid someone stop him from gaining a little exp.

Honestly, I've played 11 games, 2 I finished because I was on the losing team, 3 have frozen(I want to address this later) and the rest I was kicked/booted from with my entire team.


What makes this so frustrating is no one wants to let you play when you're the lowest rank, and no one wants to let you win a match...so I have been trying for 3 days to rank up from the lowest rank(Mind you, all it would take is 3 WINNING matches...but apparently that is too much to ask)

But right now, the freezing....I know this isn't my Xbox, it has been running perfect for more than a year and I just played GoW for a couple hours and Lost Planet MP demo for a couple hours. I always seem to freeze in Rainbow Six whenever my team isn't sucking.....now is this just a bad copy of the game? Do other people have this issue? Is it the host turning his Xbox off or what?

Someone else out there please tell me I'm not the only one with problems with this game.

i tell you what, i played the demo of this game and thought.....meh. i was always having the same problem with lag/freezing, its definitely not my connection (10MB broadband). now i know its only the demo, but a few of my friends who have the full game also suffer with the freezing/lag, so dont worry you're not the only one.

Here is something interesting. I was playing co-op with my cousin last night and we went after 2 achievements. 150 terrorist kills with a pistol, and 500 total terrorist kills. He got the achievements and I didn't. I killed over 175 terrorists with my pistol and killed WAY OVER 500 in total. Why can't I get the achievements? Is my game glitched or something? It is pure BS and I am pissed....

I'm pretty un-impressed with this game as well. If you aren't playing with friends, don't bother at all. You do get shoved onto the handicapped team from the start, if you want to be on the attacking team, you will just get kicked. You will sit and kill people for no reason for 18 out of 20 mins, while you rack up your max 300 points(has nothing to do with kills, just your 20mins of playtime) and the other team wastes 18 mins to max out their 1100'sh points. Level design is pretty terrible with spawn camping, and ANY lag really makes the game unplayable.

I really don't understand the multi-player design, about 2 out of 10 games wind up fun and problem free, I tried for about 15 hours multi, then said screw it. Might try again sometime if there is a slow month with games.
