Make Joining a Session in Progress Optional?

“JiP” - Joining in Progress (Sessions)

I’m starting to grow tiresome of joining sessions in progress. The “JiP” system has its pros and cons, however the cons outweigh the pros. The JiP system was a good idea, however it wasn’t done properly in my opinion.

On that note, please understand that everyone is entitled to an opinion so leave the flamethrowers in the armory.

From my experience, I usually get pushed into a session already in progress about 65% of the time. Reason why this gets aggravating is because they usually throw me in a session where the enemy team is winning by a substantial amount.

I just joined a session already in progress of oddball where the enemy team was winning by 200 points. I find that quite unfair to people who join in late and receive an unjust loss. The JiP system seems to punish players more than reward a fair game experience. Usually i’m not one to complain about things, since after all it’s just a game. This is starting to aggravate me though.

If 343 can kindly put in an option in the settings where you can disable/enable joining sessions in progress, it would solve a lot of complaints.

Feel free to leave your opinion on the JiP system below. I’d like to know peoples personal opinions on the joining in progress system.

Making it optional would be best. I absolutely can’t stand joining a game in progress, it completely throws me off and ruins the experience. It doesn’t help that the ui and menus are so terrible that I have no idea what’s going on anyway.

I personally have no problem with the menus. Really wish that there was a setting which made joining session games optional though. There is a way to get around it.
