If the lobby disconnects at any point after the initial start of the map (which is any time after player’s have been killed, rings have been captured or a power weapon has been picked up), both teams are to restart the map and replicate the rounds won by each team, weapon placements and players lives prior to the disconnection. Once both teams agree that the following has been done correctly and once both teams are happy to proceed, both teams should agree upon an in-game time to start via Xbox Live Message or in-game chat and continue to play as normal from that point.

Player Disconnections

If a player(s) disconnects during the initial start of a round (which is the time prior to any player’s being killed, rings being captured or a power weapon being picked up), both teams are to return their spawn points and wait for the disconnected player(s) to reconnect. Once the player(s) have reconnected their teammates should kill them to replicate that players lives prior to disconnecting, once both teams are happy to proceed, both teams should agree upon an in-game time to start via Xbox Live Message or in-game chat and continue to play as normal from that point.

If both teams disagree over when players disconnected proof must be provided that shows when the disconnection took place.

If a player disconnects during the round (which is any time AFTER player’s have been killed, rings have been captured or a power weapon has been picked up) then the round is to continue being played as normal. Once that round has finished both teams should wait in their spawns and follow the above instructions with regards to replicating lives, time to start etc.
