Infected! this happens to me all the time as well, thats why I started playing infected cuz it evens it out since you always win. Now when I get into those situations, I just sign out.

there is another way that i use and it works when you are thrown in the game do not choose your class push select and check the score if your on the losing side push select again on your controler then choose leave game then you wont get a lost as long as you dont choose the option of choosing your class your just a spectator.

I think I'll start doing that sign out thing too. Seems a bit tedious, but I keep getting thrown into these maulings and people I rage quit a lot. Oh well, my w/l is sitting at only42%, nut it's better than people who boost w/l in infected.

I would tough it out and take the loss and the ass kicking, but since this game is so nice and likes to disconnect me from the host I go through this process at least once per hour:

Find a lobby, play a few matches, get kicked, find a lobby, play a few matches, get kicked, find a lobby, play a few matches, get kicked, find a lobby, play a few matches, get kicked, find a lobby, play a few matches, get kicked, find a lobby, play a few matches, get kicked

Yes as others say above, ps, account management triangle sign out, I have only just started doing this, as I like you am fed up with being thrown into a losing game.

Its freakin ridiculous how many losing sides i'm thrown into. there should be an option that you can choose to wait for a new game. As I would rather wait how ever long it takes than get thrown into an already started game. I dont even like it when I'm thrown into a winning side.

I use this so many times now as I also do this if I get lag. But until the retarded devs get their act together and fix this broken piece of crap. I'm gonna continue.

As a side note, I just went and played mw2 for an hour (the first time for months and the game ran so smooth it was sickening, no hacked lobbies, no lag. I think I will play it more often now.

If the devs don't change the current system, it's not your fault if you have to sign-out to avoid a loss. You should NEVER be thrown into a match that is half over. It shouldn't even be an option for the matchmaking system.

Until they fix it, all you can do is PS Button - Account Manager - Triangle - Sign Out.

I'm not taking a loss because of the crap system.

Instead of backing out of the lobby and taking the loss just sign out of the PSN, you dont take a loss that way

Or you could do the controversial thing and hit the PS button triangle on account and sign out :/ some people use it some people dont like using it as it dont give a true W/L ratio ... check mine ... i dont use it.

Other than that id just stick it out

I don't think I've ever been really angry at a game before until this happened. Surely the match engine should be able to notice the following situation unfolding.

1) Went to find a game.

2) Puts me into game already half way through (I hate this enough as it is).

3) I select my class.

4) I run maybe 2 metres.

5) "Enemy M.O.A.B incoming!"

6) Look at score...170 to them, 40 to us. We also only have 4 players.

7) *Facepalm*

Now, my 2 options are to either get completely destroyed for the next minute and get a loss, or quit the game without firing a bullet and still get a loss.

This has happened to me 4 times today. Honestly, it's beyond ridiculous. I don't see why MW3 have to use this system of throwing people into complete maulings. The number of losses I've been handed due to getting put into games where the other team have about 4 times as many points as mine is just crazy. Surely IW can come up with a simple solution. Perhaps W/L shouldn't count if you join beyond 50% completion of the match...? That way I can stay in the game, try and get a couple of kills and not worry about getting yet another loss thanks to being put into a near complete game.

Anyway yes, idea is basically as I posted above;

"Perhaps W/L shouldn't count if you join beyond 50% completion of the match...?"

Opinions?
