When I first heard this I laugh…then cried a little. In halo you were never able to join in mid-game, WHY start NOW?!? I’m honestly looking for someone who thinks this is a good idea, and why they think it is one. Personally this is almost as dumb as “Forerunner Vision,” and that -Yoink- seems pretty stupid.
No i dont like it.
I don’t think it will; truly fix quitters. I would hate to be put in a game mere seconds from ending or a handful kills away. I would like to know how 343i wishes to integrate this new feature.
343 = bad ideas
itd be nice if there was a system set up to where if a team was within fifteen kills of finishing the game the game would not show up on a player’s search, thus effectively killing the issue of jumping into a lost game.
IM never going to join mid game EVER / That’s why i play with full partys of my friends…
NEVER going to happen…
But maybe you wont have to / maybe its up to you if you want to or not
It works perfectly fine COD (a game without power weapons or power map positions) and it also works perfectly fine in Gears 3 (a game with power weapons and power positions).
As long as the default starting weapons are good, I think it will be fine.
Only in social
no cause if you join and then ends at teh same moment, or you just load 2 times, or you dont do nothing and wasted time
Completely hate it and may be a deal breaker for MM for me. Joining a game where you are loosing is so irate and that is the only thing that will happen – People loosing > people quit > you take their place on the loosing team > you loose.
> It also works perfectly fine in Gears 3 (a game with power weapons and power positions).
Is that only for the non ranked playlist though? I thought the ranked playlist got bots to join when people quit?
why is halo changing so much </3

I don’t like it but if you can fix joining at the end of a lost game, maybe

This, otherwise I don’t see what’s wrong. This can also point out to longer game matches which could be exciting. We will just have to see what 343 does with it.
the only thing join in session does is encourage quitting… i think its hilarious that this is supposedly a remedy for quitters.

Quit and join will only be for the social part, so dont like the idea then just go play ranked. Basicly ranked matches players on trueskill so quit and join mid games in ranked will never happen.

Not sure about ranked for Gears 3. But for the general slayer playlist (the only playlist with lots of people) Gears 3 will indeed use bots to fill the slots of missing players. Nonetheless, both cod & gears manage a join-in-progress without having their community up in arms about it.
Its not yet to be seen exactly how 343i will implement the system and for which playlists.
Supremely awful idea for Halo…I hate it.
For everyone that is against it, do you enjoy it when your team leaves and it’s a 4 on 1 slaughterfest? Seriously, there are pros and cons to both systems, but I think joining in progress will have more pros than the old system.
I don’t know, there’s nothing more frustrating to me than joining a game and immediately having half of my team quit. Also, i’m sure they would implement some kind of system so you wouldn’t start 1 kill before the game ends.
