Iam sick of joining a game that is halfway thru! Out of the 10 games I play a day, I have join halfway thorough about 5 times. GET RID OF THIS -Yoink-! I don’t want to play a game when the score is already -Yoinking!- 310-140! If you dont want people leaving games, then just make it so that if they leave 3 games in a 24-hour period, hit them with a 15 minute ban or something. Or at the least allow a search filter to NOT JOIN games that have already started!
Agreed! I hate joining in, being killed, and the respawning into losing game that is nearly over! It’s such BS!
It does kinda suck but I prefer this to quit banning BS. However if the MM could detect when a game is over or if you have the option to choose whether to join or not after seeing score or someting would be a better solution.
Usually i get put into game at the beginning but one and a while i get the end losing game which does suck
Every other game out there has join-ins. Halo is adapting, why complain?
Obviously people have forgotten what it was like to have your split-screening team mates leave and you having to cope with the rest of the match on your own.
It’s nothing but progress.

So what you’re saying is, you like joining into a losing game? I’d much rather play and deal with the once-in-a-while team quit versus jumping into a one sided match multiple times.

Joining a losing game doesn’t compare at all to just sitting there getting steam-rolled because you have no choice. You can at least make a comeback.
I understand that, but I’m saying that the joining a losing game happens more often than playing a game where everyone quits.
Actually, the should make it a social playlist option. Keep the competitive playlists JiP free.
It doesnt matter whether I join a game on the losing side or winning side. I just dont like it. If its the winning side then its boring with those in vehicles or with sniper getting all the kills. If you are on the losing side it too sucks. The only other game that has mid-joining would be COD and maybe Battlefield. It is not innovation, its a pain in the -Yoink-. I just finished 5 games. ONLY ONE game was where I got to vote on the map and was a fresh game. 2 of the games were before the score was 300 and one game at 400 and the other 2 were at almost 500.
That rarely happens. I played Halo Reach a lot and I’d say I lost maybe 1 player every 2 or 3 games. its not that bad. But with mid-joining, people are hopping games as if their life depending on it. I joined a game and it was a losing game 250-90. I left the game as soon as I joined.
Posts like these piss me off… Why don’t you think about the team that your joining? They are losing because they’re team left… They did this so people can join back in and make a comebaack. Stop thinking selfishly. You say you have most your games a join in progress. Know what to do? After the game is done don’t back out. Stay in the damn game and you shouldn’t have to worry about joining a game in progress…
Scrubs these days._.
There should be an option for if you don’t mind joining a game that has already started.
I also hate how games start with 3 against 5 and it’s team oddball, and it stays 3 v 5 through the rest of the game.

Indeed. JOP is a fine system that at a single stroke SOLVES THE QUITTER PROBLEM. Yes you can find yourself with half a game on your hands without much chance at significantly changing the outcome but only for that ONE game and at the end of it all you get a full load of EXP for a fraction of the work you’d normally have to put in. Not a band consolation prize, assuming in any case that game happens goes badly. If not well then you have even less to complain about.
It just sucks when you get thrown into a game that your going to loose no matter how good you do. I got tossed into a IBTB game 850-250 and knew I was going to loose right away which we did. Now that goes against my record as a loss which I feel is just unfair. 343 needs to drop that like a bad habit.
No absolutely not. Keep the feature in place. Maybe for pro-type playlists they can disable join-in-progress, but for most playlists, join-in-progress should be enabled. It always bugged me that this wasn’t a feature in Halo before.
… Leave it to a KSI to complain about something good.

this is exactly why anyone here who starts spurting crap about w/l ratio being legit and it shows your skill is so so so wrong. JIP has basically ruined any legitimacy that win/loss ratio had in previous Halos lol

I completely agree with you. My w/l has been tarnished already due to the Join in Progress. What a shame.

And then what do you do with the people who dont want to jip, but still quit regularly?
