Drop in/Drop Out gameplay is possibly one of the worst things to ever happen to Halo. I love this game don’t get me wrong, but the thing for me that always brought Halo to the top of game list is the fact that to play the game, you actually had to stay dedicated to a game. If you quit, you get a penalty. I liked that. I don’t enjoy quitters. they ruin the game. And whenever you join a game in progress, there is no possible way of you doing good. Especially Regicide. If you get a game-in-progress in that, you are pretty much guaranteed a loss.
I agree a little. In team games maybe it’s a good thing, but as far as Regicide goes probably not. I think I joined a game last night where the leader already had 175 or 125 points. I had no shot of doing very well, not that I’m very good anyway but still…
I think it should be playlist specific. If 343i do bring out that new ranking system later on next year, and if playlists go ranked/social, ranked should not have it, but social definitely should.
It’s easy to forget just how annoying it was when you went on BTB in Halo 2/3/Reach and it ended up turning into a 2v2 game, or just how wonderful the match got when a good number of teammates left an objective game.
