Thanks to quitters I’ve been thrown into games in progress a lot lately, 99% of which end in a loss. Playing with a fireteam will stop this from happening, but nearly 50% of my solo games lead to a late join where I get annihilated. My favorites are WA with 30 seconds to go to capture a base with zero capture progress, or starting already defending the core with core at most 50%. At this point any affect I may have had at changing the outcome has long since passed. As a result I get to enjoy a brief griefing before tallying up another Loss I certainly didn’t earn. I should be awarded additional REQ points or something if I’m going to be stuck in this situation. 400-600 REQ points on Assault for a 60 second Loss isn’t worth it to me. Give me the FULL amount as if I played the entire match, seeing as how the Loss counts the same no matter when I join. Please take the sting out of late join losses, because they suck bad.
I actually agree with this. If I’m thrown into a late game match that is a total bust I think we should get some sort of req bonus incentive on top of it if we finish the match or at least not have the loss go on our record.

Agreed. Nothing more irritating then being thrown in an already doomed match and getting nothing but a few points and a loss.
well welcome to the life of a solo player. happens all the time. find a crew or move on.
But yes i agree with you. You were there full time you were in the match so you should get full points for being in the match.
Totally agree. It should not count as a loss should you lose, and you should get double REQ points. Joining an in-progress game is infinitely less enjoyable.
Additionally, some preventative measures would be to make a game that maintains a decent population so as to ensure there are always even, quick matches available rather than forcing people into sparse, in-progress games, and to make the boss kill scoring system fair so that people aren’t encouraged to quit from an unpredictable system.
I joined one the other day, and the first thing I heard was “protect the core spartan!”… smh lol. Ten seconds later the core was destroyed, I didn’t get to do anything at all and a loss was recorded on my record.
Personally I hate join in progress, and would like to have the option to disable it and just join new games. Or at least do it like in Titanfall - if you join a losing game, it doesn’t get recorded as a loss.
I also think its a good idea to allow us the option to keep a point booster card if I have to join in progress. I rarely use the gambits or Victory cards but this is frustrating when you have no chance to get the most assist, or Spartan kills, or whatever the boost needs.
I hate it when this happens, but it usually only happens when I first start to play, after that, I start out from scratch. I do not mind JIP, chances are if the other team is so well organized, you are still going to lose and have a loss on your record.
While I like to win every game I play, the win loss stat is not that important to me.

Be grateful for the fastest RP you’ll ever get. Combine those 60 seconds with a legendary RP boost and you’re in easy street.
You do, if you lose the instantly you join I think you get about 700 req points lol. I think that’s what I remember…I’ll take 2 minutes of waiting for it to end for some free points.
