From what I've seen, "dropped" players get replaced by the AI. This always happens to me - I start a pantheon game, connect to the other players and while it's loading the game "drops" me. I end up playing against all AI and the other players see me as a bot. Of course, this little desync counts as a loss for me.
Ok, I just noticed I've been playing with bots on the pantheon. I connect with other players fine, but when the game is loading I hear a "player dropped" message. And hey! It's me! all players are replaced with bots and the ladder counts it as a loss. It would be nice if I could see whether the other players are bots or not :/
What it says in the title. Can't join multiplayer games for some reason. Firewall is set to allow all so it shouldn't do this.
The easiest way to do it is just to e-mail THQ for permission. Odds are that they will grant it to you guys.
