Does join in progress exist?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

All morning I have been in matches and have always ended on a team with only 3 players…it’s really frustrating. It’s happened 3 times in a row at one point.

I thought join in progress was a feature for Halo 5? Or am I wrong?

Also I know the system should match you with people that should be of similar skill to you, but my team seem to be extremely under skilled (not saying this as a big headed thing I’m not the greatest player myself) but when I check their service records they are terrible in comparison.

Ah thanks that explains it. I think il take a break from arena for a while it’s becoming no fun at all.

Amen to that. It is just another design decision for multiplayer that I do not understand.

@bearclaw: Which? No JIP for Arena or something else?

I got into a game of Warzone Assault where I was on the losing team with 30 seconds left… so yes. Warzone at least, not in arena.

Arena is a ranked mode, JIP skews the rankings because you could lose an amazing team mate and have him replaced with someone who isn’t very good causing you to lose, alternatively you could be winning and the other team quit to be replaced by some highly skilled Gamebattles team which causes you to lose. In both of those examples you would have won based on the original match up.

Arena is supposed to match you against people your skill level in even settings, JIP is not a fair feature for this.
