So i made a post about How Snipers is so awesome and thanjed 343 for it and its really fun but i forgot to mention, probaly my biggest concern with this game
JIP.
Its destroying my WL!
Anyone else, not like JIP?
When getting in a jip game you dont want,
hit start
scroll down
network
my xbox
xboxlive
profit.
I hate JIP because its unnecessary. If 343 punished quitters by taking away XP, then we wouldn’t need JIP.

Sounds like exploiting to me.

If you do it too many times you’ll get banned for one hour. It sucks that you can’t choose if you want to join in progress or not.

Cause that worked in Halo 3 right…oh wait.
The only solution in my opinion is to make it an option. If you disable it you get to see a neat little message that says may increase match times.

I’m pretty sure you can’t be banned for that. I’ve done it a ton and never had that happen, i also never heard it happen.

Halo 3 didn’t have as many quitters. You can’t fix everything alright, but JIP sure as hell ain’t the answer.
Most of my time has been in SpOps because the few times I have ventured into War Games I get 30 seconds to lose.
Drop Join in Progress. I’d rather wait.
I’ve been lucky with JIP lately. Most games I joined were with teams winning or barely behind.
Quitting wasn’t really a problem for me in Halo 3, but it was very problematic in Reach. Especially, last summer. I lost a lot of games in Reach because of people quitting and at one point I started quitting too because of them. Which had me get a few temporary bans. What a nuisance. I’m all for JIP.
What not too many people think about is how great it is to gain teammates if you’re in a BTB match that is 5v8. Without JIP, teams would keep losing members and would have no chance. You might not notice that you are getting new teammates all the time, but when it happens it probably helps a lot. I don’t love to join a game that is already half over, but I stay anyways because I know that I’m helping out the rest of the team I am on.
Thanks for the replies but i have a question (i think it was mentioned too)
WHY ISNT IT OPTIONAL?
I’d rather it gotten rid of, the whole reason it doesn’t work is because it takes away the whole meaning of w/l ratio, that w/l ratio is more important (or important at all) than k/d, and I’m sure that really matters to a lot of compets. I’ve gotten lucky though recently as I go through “phases” w/ it, like I had a game recently in TD where we were losing the whole time, they had about 1, 2 kills to win but we a comeback and won it 300-290. (now if more ppl knew about tmwork in TD). When it’s not going my way though it just sucks (my favorite is being putm towards the end of the game losing horribly).

Had my shortest JIP game yesterday. A whopping 5sec GAME OVER Yea that was fun. Saved it in my file share to remind me how much it sucks!!!
JIP is huge improvement to the game. Sure, nobody likes joining match that ends soon, but for godsake, I HATE 2v4 matches in Reach or 7v3 BTB in Halo 3. I’m really happy 343i finally got rid of them.
