I love playing games from the start and having an 8 kdr, and then beasting noobs who join halfway through the game, and are all disorientated, and im already set up !

Usually the worst time to join a match is when you're in a party of 3 or 4 team mates. You just know that a match that can take a party that big is due to people leaving because of cheats. Whats that? I hear you say, surely there's no hackers in MW3.

I usually take several deaths at first when joining an ongoing match just because the other team has had time to setup and I have no idea how they are playing the map. Once I get a feel for what they are doing, I start finding my rhythm and usually end up with an ok kd. But like you said the next match things are back to normal. So no big deal.

Whenever I join a lobby in the middle of a match I usually end up on the losing team. It's especially annoying when there's only one minute left and the team I joined is losing 1600 - 7300. For that reason, I consider mysef lucky when I join a lobby in the middle if a match and end up on the winning team.

Almost every time I join a match in the middle (like 4 to 6 minutes left) I don't do very well. It's weird. I'm so disoriented. I guess because I normally spawn hearing gunfire, a care package, or an air strike all going on at once. I also usually die immediately after that first spawn because I ended up right near an enemy. I can never get in a rhythm. I don't go negative, but I always end up with a kdr of 2 or lower (usually lower). Seems like I'm always getting shot in the back. It's like I never know where anyone is. It doesn't always happen, but it does more often than not.

Pop in a match with under 4 minutes left though, and not in the middle of a gunfight, and it's like I'm superman. I might die once or twice but I'll have like 12+ kills in 2 minutes. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Same lobby though, after not doing well, and I start the match in the beginning and I'm back to normal and getting accused of hacking. Don't know what it is about spawning in the middle of a match that throws me off so much. Does that kind of thing happen to anyone else?
