Being Outnumbered Is Not Cool

Games Other Halo
1

My friends(2 others) and I played 10-15 games of halo 4 today. Throughout Infinity Slayer, Oddball, and king of the hill we were constantly not given any team mates. It was perpetually 3v4 or 3v5. I know a lot of people are getting frustrated by he Join In Progress feature short-changing people into losing teams, but not being given another player to even things up is really becoming a drag.

I suggested being given overshields for a perpetually outnumbered team while in game with freinds in a bout of utter frustration.

Anyone else running into this problem?

not at all I semm perfectly fine when I was outnumbered once (it was just me against a team of 6) then 5 people joined when i began losing and my team won :smiley:

Well…You did have a lot of targets.

4

I just run around and hide until more people join, if it keeps going that way ill just quit. 2v5 is not fun at all.

5

Being outnumbered really is a problem for me any time I play because my team never knows how to work together.

Ive been out numbered alot in infinity slayer when i 1st played and despite tht i have a huge gap between my kills and deaths ive got a hell of alot more kills then deaths its amazing lol even thou ive been ganged up on quite abit

That’s the issue I was trying to explain. Even though we were outnumbered, by 1 or 2 players, it would never add another player to our team.

We played 15 games being perpetually outnumbered.

It was myself and two friends.

I don’t mind the new drop in/out system, but a game should never start up unless both teams are equal. That’s just common sense.

My point exactly Killer Whale. I don’t mind waiting in the que for an extra minute to find one more player.

We were playing in a team of 3. Maybe that is the sure-fire way to get screwed into a 3v4 or 3v5?

I’ve only been playing flood so far and haven’t encountered this issue. I might stick to that game type after reading this.

Yea being outnumbered is pretty bs and being ganged up on when both teams are full by like 3 guys on haven and abandon its fing gay main reason why i use camo and i like camo its helped me snipe fools lol and assassinate. Tht sucks u and ur buds didnt get team mates i kno ive been put in games where its me vs 4 guys and ppl did join but i always think of backing out first

Isn’t the reason Join In Play function to rectify this type of issue?

I’m not talking about having a 4v4 and then one person quits out and doesn’t get replaced, Im talking about being put in games where it starts off 3v4 or 3v5 and no one gets placed in the game.

It’s just friggin aggravating.

Playing last night in a party of 3, about 70% of games started 3v4, and one 4v3 going our way. we only had someone join our game once.

Also, this probly doesn’t belong in this thread, but while where on the topic of JIP, being JIP’d into a game where your party gets split up so there’s 2 on one team and 1 guy on the other is not fun at all.

JIP is obviously not working in its current state, and 343 really needs to do something soon or they’re gonna lose a lot of players from the frustration caused by it.

This is why there needs to be the quit ban from Reach. Without it, people leave frequently causing the experience to be ruined for myself when it ends up being 2v5 or 3v5. I was in BTB before and it was 2v8, didn’t stand a chance.

What do you want to implement StigmaticPython? I’ve quit out of a few games already when your just hopelessly losing or outnumbered.

My friends and I suggested having a damage or shield boost when your outnumbered to even up the odds. Or getting ordnance drops quicker to help equalize the playing field.

Any ideas?

Or is the general consensus to start a 4v4 game type only when you have 4 players? Or only start a 6v6 game type when you have 6 players?
