Minus XP?

DaveyGem

Howdy,


On a few occasions ive noticed that after a game (usually a game in which ive leveled up) that my xp counter shoots past the end of the bar and reads something like "-123". This usually continue after 2 or 2 games with the minus figure increasing i.e "-222", "-545" once it even went as far as "-843".

Eventually it goes back to normal but the level is deleted and i have to begin gaining xp for the next level again.

Also while it reads a minus number I am on the newer, higher level, but if anything was due to be unlocked on this level ie perks or weapons they remain unavailable.

I first spotted this in WaW for what i thought was poor play ie friendly fire, camping etc. But it seems to be random and i have com across it in MW.

Whats the story is it a glitch or is it indeed poor play?

Yeah it's pretty annoying. I scored over 3000XP on a HQ Shipment game and it didn't count, its happens alot for me. Im with NTL/UPC, and the guys who i have seen post about it on other COD4 forums are also from Ireland and with NTL/UPC.

It's been happening since May for me. But i don't mind anymore, im at 55 10th Prestige so XP aint important anymore.

Its when you're so bad at the game that it decides not only to not give you points, but actually take away from you for sucking so hard.

That happens to me quite a bit too, Im on ntl aswell so im presuming it has something to do with that from what oatesy said. Happens me at least once a week. HAvn't played much waw in the last few weeks but still happens a lot on cod4. Very very irritating.

Ya had this happen a few times as well with NTL on ps3. Your xp continues to count or it does with me sometimes it would go all the way untill I get another level up then its all fine again.
