I guess that you get a win if you win (especially in free-for-all mode).

But if you join a game, any kind of game, and your team loses, does that count as a loss?

If your team wins, does that count as a win?

  • I believe that is what happens.

    I don't understand why first-person-shooter tag has been added. It's not related to the question. It won't help someone looking about first person shooter game. I appreciate that someone has corrected by bad english. Thank you!

  • Because the game it's about, Modern Warfare 2, is a first person shooter.

    @Powerlord: Does that mean that EVERY question tagged with modern-warfare-2, should also be tagged with first-person-shooter? That's redundant.

    I agree with Carlo, this is an instance where it's specific to Modern Warfare, and not it's FPS attributes.

Yup, if you join a game at the last second (or any time up to then) and the team wins you win, if they lose you lose.

It's happened to me a bunch of times where I'll load in, and go right to the scoreboard with a loss.

  • Well, then how about providing that proof? I've seen it happen to myself and my friends on several instances.

  • Can't provide the proof. Please try it yourself. Check your win loss ratio and do absolutely nothing in a game that's already started. It won't affect your W/L.

  • This is not entirely accurate, but even after 10's of thousands of games, I can't claim to know the exact mechanic. It seems like it doesn't impact your streak, for one. Also, if you join a game late and don't spawn, but instead let it time out, that seems to save you from the loss.

If you join in the middle of game, and do nothing (no kills, no deaths) you don't get neither a win or a loss. If you kill someone or get killed THEN you'll earn the win or lost.

When you join the game has nothing to do with whether you get a W or an L. If you manage to go an entire game without dying or getting a single kill you do not get a W or an L added to your record. However, this 0-0 K-D gets you the Accolade AFK (Zero Kills, Zero Deaths).
