My god I am so pissed right now. Getting a loss because you enter in a match late is pretty annoying but when it happens 3 times in a row thanks to games not loading from the lobby is even more ridiculous!

I enter a game of Instant Action and the leader has 21 kills with only 2 minutes and 17 seconds on the clock, whatever I play it out and obviously lose, then in the lobby a few people leave but we still have 8 guys total and the match is about to begin when the game automatically freezes at 1 second countdown and I see people leaving and then the game goes to "searching for sessions" and I get put back in a lobby with only myself -_-

Whatever, so I search out another Instant Action and enter a game where the SCOREBOARD for the game summery is showing on the screen. I didn't even spawn, it took 30 seconds to load the map and then I saw the overall score for that Instant Action and then I was put back in the lobby --> I check my Operative Status and see that I picked up ANOTHER LOSS thanks to this ****! Seriously, I didn't even spawn in that game and it still counts as a loss!

So Ok, I am still like whatever and am still in the same lobby when people start leaving and we have 4 people total -_- so alright we waited for about 1 minute before being put into a session that AGAIN WAS ALREADY IN PLAY (yes all 4 of us) with less than 4 minutes left on the clock and obviously I pick up a THIRD loss!

ARE YOU SERIOUS! In less than 10 minutes I get 3 **** losses? 10 minutes = 1 game, I'll take a legitimate loss but this is just utterly retarded.

CRYTEK YOU SHOULD MAKE IT THAT IF YOU ENTER AN INSTANT ACTION LATE IT WILL NOT COUNT AS A LOSS
OR MAKE IT SO YOU CANNOT ENTER INSTANT ACTION WITH LESS THAN 7 MINS LEFT ON THE CLOCK/LEADER HAS OVER 5-8 KILLS OR SOMETHING!

I know this probably sounds like I am biching but I had a 7-1 Instant Action win/loss with a 6.22 W/L overall and because of these 3 losses which do not reflect real losses my ratios went quite a bit down. I have no problem taking legitimate losses in Instant Action, even when I enter late. And yes I am someone who cares about their ratios so deal with it if you're gonna be a pvssy and say "why do you care." If you don't understand why it matters then just don't reply.

I see your point since there's no team to relay on. Though it will probably be a bit harder to join/ start a game if people can't join a round that already has started.

I dont really see the problem here. OK so you join games in progress and as it is instant action you get a loss, admittedly annoying, but so what if you get a 'loss' against your name, the stats mean nothing in any way?

If Crytek were to implement a way that would mean a loss by joining mid way through a match would not be counted against you then that just wouldnt be fair. You would be effecting the outcome of the match, therefore you cannot get immunity from getting a loss? The only way to reasonably solve this problem would be to allow people to not join games in action at all, however then you would have issues where players that dropped out of matches would not be able to get replaced etc etc ......

So yes what you brought up is a little annoying, but I think its the lesser of two evils, as there would have to be a lot of additional changes required to sort this out fairly. TBH atm it looks as if they are struggling with the abundance of problems just now, so i suspect that this would be way down their to do list lol

Doesn't bother me - but I lose most games anyway

I have the same issue. But what pisses me off even more is as soon I spawn into a game that's about to finish and I decide within seconds that I'm going to leave...I get killed. Spawn system svcks as we all know. So, I get a loss + death. . Oh well, still doesn't stop me from playing the game.
