Sometimes I search a Warzone match or a team arena match and I end up joining a game, already in progress, on a losing team that’s down by a lot of points. Then I end up losing the match and then having to suffer that lose by ranking down my CSR. I think the idea of joining in the middle of a match taking the place of someone who got salty or had to leave for real-life purposes is pathetic. We should be given the option to search a match that’s in progress or to start a new fresh match instead. Anyone else agree?
I don’t agree with joining in progress concept at all.
Hate when it happens to me.
terrible
I knew I wasn’t the only one who hated this nonsense. I’ve been asking for an option to turn it off for a long time now. It waste RP and XP gambits to me.
You think removing join in progress and playing a (potentially) 20-25 minute game 8v12 or 6v12 would be better? Uh no. You would be here complaining about how your teammates quit and you lost because of it instead of how you joined a game mid-match and lost because of it. At least with join-in-progress you have the potential to win the affected match (happens occastionally, as the people who quit often are playing badly and rage-quit, being replaced with potentially better players).
That said, I think it would be a good idea for 343 to reward players who join mid-match with full match RP/XP instead of the decreased amounts we get now, to compensate for not being able to play from the beginning.

Don’t use your gambits until the 5 second countdown starts.
It usually sucks! Half of the JIP games I get in are almost finished. I get 0-3 kills and game over, game lost. Very rarely do I get into winning game.
If you join a match in progress, your Req card should be refunded, & the bonus not activated. Or there should be incentive, like 50% more xp or req points once the match is over. You know, for your trouble.
I was join one time, just to hear that we lost. I did however get 70 REQ points, and did not fire one shot.
I match I played about a week ago I was forced to join an in game progress and upon realizing we were going to lose no matter what, I went ahead and managed to pull out a 23-6 K/D and placed second in the entire round. I did my best and despite that it wasn’t enough I still managed to make my loss overall into a gain for my pride as a Halo player.
None of the ranked playlists are JIP. Not sure where you got that from there OP. That is the one thing they did right, in my opinion. They kept JIP for the social playlists. I could care less if I get dropped into an already started game. JIP is fine the way it is.
Plus I don’t see why your boost should be refunded. You still get credit for it. We should all know by now that equipping a boost is a gamble in and of itself. There is no guarantees.
Warzone doesn’t affect your csr… It’s not even ranked why would it? It affects win loss ratio and kd if you’re against a good team but that’s it.
I love joining at the last 10 sec of a losing match. Yay free loss!
I HATE JIP…
99 times out of 100 the game is either a massive blowout, where the randoms have all started leaving from being matched against sweaties, or the game is almost over. I once got put into a WZA game with 3 seconds left, I didn’t even spawn. It either ends up a waste of my time, or a miserable game with terrible teammates, join in progress seemed like a good idea, but it really sucks in practice.
It’s a pain when you add a booster for ranking high, as the rest have a head start!
There should be a option that lets you join or not and if you join give you the option the remove the booster!
If you do enter mid game you should start with the average points/score I think many players wouldn’t mind this option as it means you’ve got something for nothing and it’s a short game?
It really is stupid. I think the only time this should happen is EARLY in a warzone game. (Like…first 2 minutes). Other than that, this should never happen. Getting placed into a match that you are almost certain to lose is worse than being in that game in the first place, & having your teammates quit on you.
Now, games like grifball…still annoying…but who really cares it’s grifball.
Xp/Rp boost don’t get used up In a match that has already started.
I don’t mind getting put In ongoing matches as It doesn’t happen that often. but they need to set a score/kill limit on It and give more xp or rp for joining a already started game.

That never happens. It is only in the first minute or two. A lot of my JIP’s were ones that the team was winning. All these claims that it is otherwise is not always the case. Yeah maybe it was like that back with H4, but we are so far away from that now.

Warzone doesn’t affect CSR…
Who gives a crap about your KDR or CSR or WHATEVER in Warzone anyways? Its not even a competitive gametype. You’re suppose to die a lot.
And how many games have I had where I wish there was a Join In Progress for Arena?? People get kicked right from the beginning of the match all the time thanks to these craptacular servers and we’re down one or 2 guys from the get go.

There is still no way of knowing if you’re going to be a match or not. I say a good 70% of the time it JiP in this game doesn’t work. Ever since I was thrown into a game where the match literally ended in 5 seconds I have been against it. Just because you support doesn’t mean we all have to. There have been times I’ve waited and still was put into a JiP.
