Too many times I’ve been playing doubles, slayer, team arena, etc., games that require the full cooperation of your entire team, and someone in my party gets disconnected because of their Internet and is forced to just sit in the menu and wait for the game to end.
The game really needs a feature (that some other games already have) that allows the player that gets disconnected to rejoin the game in progress. It definitely wouldn’t do any harm, and it wouldn’t be very hard to implement a feature like this into the game.
A few days ago, I was playing Warzone firefight with my friend, for a change. So there we are, sitting in the lobby with other players, and suddenly his emblem disappeared. So I said “hey it looks like you’re not here anymore”. And he’s like, “what the heck it says I’m waiting to join a match in progress”. It just kicked him out before the game even started (but not out of the fireteam, just the game). This happened twice in one day, actually.
So my choices were either to play through the match while he sat around waiting, or quit and try again. And firefight matches aren’t short. I have no idea what causes this, but something that lets him join the match he got inexplicably removed from before it started would be nice.

That’s unfortunate. Your friend could have joined as a spectator though.

It sure does. Especially in Halo 5 as server disconnects are a common thing now for many, many people.
