Just a coincidence mang.

Guilt by association went out of fashion long ago. The 4 people in the OPs screen shot are not in yours. Congrats, you found unrelated evidence that people sync-drop. Good job on demonstrating something we already know.

I'm simply pointing out that there are so many reasons for uneven matches that the assumption being made about the OP's screen shot is tenuous at best. And again, since the OP feels that winning a match where the odds are 2:1 in his favor is post-worthy, I'm inclined to respond in the negative because I, personally, think that's juice-bag worthy behavior.

Also, since your screenie clearly shows what you assert to be a sync drop with 7 people in it, that sort of counters VR's assertion that if 1 person fails to connect, their half of the team is lost. Sort of as in it implies that said bug does not occur 100%.

BAHAHA he deleted it priceless.
Check out the chat box next time you post a screen shot to OP. Might want to white out some words for future reference.

Yes, I used to find it weird that the matchmaker would match me up against people with the same faction icon, complementing builds, excuses, and names I recognize.

But I was told repeatedly that it's all legit, and synchdrops don't exist.

yeah because 4 people droping together is a bloody sync you are an *****.

Obviously the other 4 Liao forces were discovered and could not risk themselves in the operation.

Typical Liao.

If one guy disconnects when it tries to synch you, his 3 other buddies will fail to connect, which leaves you with only 4 total people joining the match.

It's always been like this.

Not fully correct. I've been on 8 man sync drops (so shoot me) and one disconnect does not take out the entire team. (I've also been randomly matched up where my entire team is people I know except one or two of them got dropped and we launched with 6-7, but that's another story.)

That was definitely a 4 man, but as for other reasons that this could have happened, here are a few:

1) Sometimes **** just happens and 4 people disconnect.

2) Some sort of bug on the matchmaker side.

3) The missing 4 were a 4 man team doing a LAN party. If the internet fails in that house, their entire team goes down. (I do 3 man LANs pretty regularly.)

4) The missing 4 were not LANing, but they were around the same area and there was a network outtage.

I'm not sure one screenshot is enough to jump to conclusions.

SO it seems that a.ss is censored but arse is not.
Let me just find out.

I do so love me the Queen's english colourful words like "*****"

Now that one it did know.

Legit.
Totally not synch drop.

Perfectly fine.

I see no signs of obvious synchdropping.

With the mix of allegiance tags, I doubt this was a sync drop... just a matchmaker SNAFU.

[Wraith05]

If they tell you they are a sync drop they obviously are!

If they tell you they aren't, they still obvoiusly are! Even if there is only 4 of them.

Damn those sync dropping teams of 2 are getting bad out there.

That was nothing but sync drop First off it's a 4 man Liao unit against 7 sync dropping Lone Wolves! Oh the huge Manatee!

[Lord Perversor]

So back in the cosed Beta we launched a match with 5 of my friends.

Go figure my surprise when suddenly, i hear they are dropping in Forest while i drop in River city.

And there it is PGi Phil and his mighty Centurion testing some streak bug and me Vs a full man team.

Or the time when a friend of mine who was playing with a friend Dced, So he relogged invited me to group and launched another match while his partner end the previous match, well not really since after 2 min in the match the guy was redropped with the current ammo spent and armor lost into our match,

Bugs happens as simply as that.
