Depends on how you make the mission I guess (there are so many variables).
I'm sure I coud make the same thing happen in COD if I built it that way.

Sounds interesting, but it would really suck to join a mission in progress as a bomber that's already under attack, or damaged, etc,. The missions that I have flown in the past, were designed to be short anyways. If you came late and the game was in session, you knew that anywhere within 15min or less, you'd have a new mission on it's way.
I wonder if it would be possible in COD, to put a 5min window up, so that if you happened to join within 5min of launching, it would let you in, but if you were later than the 5min, you'd be stuck waiting. Or, If you came in late the game could let you in as an AA gunner or something to keep you occupied until the next mission start.
