game joining like gears/BF/COD ?

i just read a message from a person saying they want searching like COD and battlefield where you can join at any point in the game, are they doing this?

i really hope they do not add this in, it will just mess the game up so much, even in social games map/weapon/vehicle control is too important for something like this to be used

Yep they are doing it.

the f*ck is wrong with 343, who thought that would be a good idea for halo?

I think you already answer you own question: 343i as they are the only one that can make that kind of choice.

:o)

It’s confirmed.

And the reason they did it is because it’s hardly even possible to complete a whole game anymore without someone quitting out. It ruins it for everyone.

I believe it’s a logical solution to the quitting issue.

that is because the reach community sucks, instead of just pushing through with a game they are losing, they quit.

joining in game would probably lead to more quitting. if you join a game that you are losing 50-10 on BTB, the enemy has every vehicle and power weapon, are you really going to stay in that game or quit out like the rest of their team did?

if they do it (the probably will now), the score should be within 10 points of each other and be at least 20 from the game ending

Hopefully its for SOCIAL matches only.

who knows if there will even be ranked playlists though…

i wouldnt be surprised if they did the same as reach and had 1 ‘competitive’ playlist out of all 10

It promotes quitting, what are you talking about? People won’t care about staying in the game as much, and if somebody joins a game and their team is losing by a lot, they’ll quit too. It won’t stop quitting, it’ll create a cycle of quitters.

343 Studios is taking everything that Bungie made, everything that made Halo halo, and changing it around. Idiots.

If your teammates rage quit on you other people join to help you out. Nothing wrong with it.

very true.

they need to go back to halo 2 and halo 3 style of game, simple but great. none of this crap with AAs, ‘spartan ops’ and ‘custom loadouts’

(this was a previous reply to someone else) dropping in games wont sole quitting issues.

-it works with COD because people play for themselves, not for the team
-it works with battlefield because games last a long time (shortest time being longer than a full time BTB game)

EXACTLY, does 343 not realize that Halo 2 & 3 were AMAZING for a reason? Reach was a huge drop, 4 will also be a drop.

halo needed something new but not a complete overhaul. i just wish game makers would see what they are doing to games and how much they have changed.

At the very least bring back Dual Wielding. That made Halo 2, and will break H4.

i personally liked dual wielding but i noticed, mainly on neogaf, that many people are glad that dual wielding is gone

i loved duel wield but duel magnums in reach would have been ridiculous, especially with zero bloom. although they wouldn’t have been as powerful singly if you could have 2 at a time (i would hope)

It would be OK if its when the game is loading.
The question is what happens when your team is loosing and on the other team a player is doing very poorly and quits, is he replaced with an equally skilled player or someone who is much better than anyone on your team and will it work with what they say is an updated MM system which they have never tested with the community.
