HEre is a sampling of the venom and vitriol flying about on the EA forums for the ZitBox360... IF they built this sucker for the kiddies on the console, then they Farked(TM) up even more than we may have been thinking... I even read a few threads where the SandBox boys and girls think the Patch and the Dedicated servers are coming FOR THEM!!! :X
Check it out...

whats the point of having clans on this game there is no post lobby to wait for your clan?? its a pointless idea unless the game gets patched!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I'm sure I can petition EA to put in some clan lobbies and such. But being as the game is short and there is little to no organization on multiplayer that there are not going to be alot of clans.

how come there is no optimatch in multiplayer. i mean I want to pick the server that i will join not just thrown in to some random room. Examples from recent games : gears of war i pick the game parameters i want to play with then i get a list of rooms to join with a connetion meter( thats the best name i can think for it right now) that doest work anyways,but at least its there. i would love to have the ability to pick from a list of severs, and see a ping or a latencey in real numbers not just red green yellow. If u will patch this i wont have time to play Callof duty 4,but if u cant well what to u care i allready bought the game. ill buy ur NEXT game if u fix this one

SHORT AN SIMPLE SO THE SIMPLE MINDED EA TARTS CAN UNDERSTAND
THINGS TO FIX IN MULTIPLAYER ?

WORST PEICE OF TRASH ONLINE ON THE 360
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
haven't been able to log in to servers all ******* day. This is really getting old with EA. Got madden 08 and it had issues, got Tiger Woods 08 and it had so many issues i couldn't even play the game and no word yet on patch for it...so i traded in TW08 for MOHA hoping the problem was just with ES sports games but...nope still same old crap puched out too early and not well tested. waste of money... i will not be buying ANY more titles from EA for at least another year but probably longer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I log on today in XBL multiplayer to find NO stats at all for me, no weapon awards, nothing! As if I had started today as a rookie! I have invested a lot of time into the multiplayer, and it is extremely frustrating to lose it all like this!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If my stats can't be recovered, I'm going to be very mad at you, EA. Please tell me a fix.
Lost mine too. Went to play yesterday and all my stats and weapon upgrades had been wiped. Way to go EA. You know, I dont even know why I bother buying any EA game anymore. Every single EA game I've bought over the last 2 years has had world-class Sh***y customer service.
On top of that, after finding out my stats were gone, I went to play and I couldn't even join a game. WTF. And yes, I did clear my cache, it did NOTHING.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
got my MOHA today and just finished beating the single player campaign mode and was about to go play online mp but all i get is a message sayin
"connection failed: connection to the EA servers has been lost"
anyone know whats goin on? they are goin to have MOHA on xboxlive right??

The servers were up and crashed. I was able to get like 3 games in before that happened. So the multiplayer works, it just had a 1st day crash. Hopefully back up by now or shortly from now.
I was able to get on Sept 8th for a bit but have not been able to sense then. EA your Crap is getting old your madden games have not changed in ages ie meaning the jerseys never gets dirty Clean Football ? your online system for all of your games is very weak Nascar wasn't even worth playing online cause of the lag. i have been trying to sign in to MOH this whole time and still nothing at all. No wonder everyone is getting 2k7 games they work great and may i say cost less. Now i know games have problems when they start out laggy online play but not even able to get on to the server that is just plain old **** ! FOR EVERYONE OUT THERE READING THIS DO NOT BUY THIS GAME TILL THE FIX ALL THE CRAP THAT IS WRONG WITH IT RIP OFF .....................

Here is a list of issues and suggestions that i have compiled from my other thread at Xbox.com. All the suggestions and issues that I have pointed out have to do with the ranked online multi player-In-Game Problems/suggestions
-Matchmaking System
- When you select a specific map and game type... you will allot of the time be put into a match that is not of that map or game type with no warning or chance to leave the game without losing rank.
- Players as hosts - I don't mind that EA doesn't want to throw away money on dedicated servers, but it would be nice if the person who is host had a choice to be it or not and that they would somehow be notified, more on this later...
- Games started with VERY uneven teams, without people quitting, for example I got in a game of objective airborne and the matchmaking system set me up in a game on the **** team with 2 people, including me, and the allies (who are easily able to win b/c of the airborne status and outnumbering us drastically) had 6 people.
- If you are so inclined to cancel your matchmaking search while the status displayed is: "Joined Game" my game (and a few of my friend's games) have been freezing.
-When a host (who doesn't quite know he is host) quits EVERYONE in the game gets booted and it counts against you as if you had quit the game.
-Ranks are unevenly given, for example my friend had 2200 points, i had 2300 points and he had 5 strips and i had 2, this is mainly because of my being kicked out of games because the host quit.
-Ranks are incorrectly displayed, the top person (last time i checked) is shown as having master Sgt ranking... and when i played him moments before he had captain.
-You should be able to talk to or at least HEAR your teammates when you are killed.
-I believe that like in the campaign you should be able to kick grenades.
-It would be nice if players who just spawned got a spawn shield (similar to rainbow six:Vegas , gears of war and other games) for the first few seconds.
-You should be able to duck further while aiming and crouched (such as in the campaign) because much of the cover that is available is only shoulder height and no amount of crouching would be able to save you from a sniper in a large amount of the cover.
-Rockets / Recoilless Rifles should be capable of being dodged... in my experience I've been unable to run from a rocket because I end up "lagging" back towards the rocket when it hits. ( I haven't tried too much dodging but this is just my personal experience)
-It would be nice if the ranks were displayed better for the sgt ranks because they seem very "squished"
-When people are talking you should have some sort of way of telling who it is.
- When someone dies the name should be colored or something else to differentiate that they are on one team or another, why should you be expected to memorize all the names of your teammates every match?
-You should be able to talk to everyone in the game when you are first selecting your weapons and then on until you begin to spawn.
-Grenades should actually go through where the reticule is pointing.
- Rockets/ grenade launchers should go through where the reticule is pointing (im tired of shooting through a window and having them come back at me...
-Many people get stuck on pieces of wood and other objects especially in areas with buildings that have their roof blown open
-Sometimes the ammo count can be wrong, or it will not let you pick up ammo for the gun you have when it is completely empty.
Check it out...
