Frankie,
On many, many of the games I have played on live, I have gotten partway through only to see a message pop up on my screen saying something along the lines of "Could not connect to Xbox Live. Would you like to start the Troubleshooter?" I am disconnected and can no longer play the game. This cuts the game short and often results in me having an automatic loss. First question: What causes this? Is it that I have a crappy internet connection or something? Second question: Is there any way to keep this from affecting my rank?
I can show at least two instances of this happening.
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStats.aspx?panel=kills&ga meid=26392048&player=Superchubs - Fortunately in this one I established enough of a lead with my team (2 to 0) before getting disconnected that we couldn't lose. I can prove that we got disconnected because I have it on tape, and can post the video if I need to.
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStats.aspx?panel=kills&ga meid=26780103&player=Superchubs - I don't have this one on video, but give me a break. I have 9 kills, 2 deaths, and all of them (if you care to look at the timeline in the game viewer) are in the first 1/3 of the game. At this point I was disconnected, and (not to be cocky) my team lost because I was gone, damaging my rank and record.
