Game Errors are causing big penalties.

I just logged in a few minutes ago.  Wanted to enjoy a game or 2 with friends.  The game lagged out on my first match.  It glitches and went back to the chopper like I was loading into a game then froze.  I reset it and I have 26 minutes of penaltys.  I am not staying up until midnight just to try and get in a match and it will still probably screw up.
