Hi!
This new system suck -Yoink-. Joining a game thats already started is BS! Thats is one thing that have been great with halo that you never start in a game that is already half finished.
This system supports quiters to much…
And what is with the system starting a game 4vs0, why not wait untill lobby is full before starting new game… This might be the worst matchmaking system I have yet to encounter. -11 on a scale of 1-10…
Actually, its pretty fantastic. Rather than sit for 10 minutes waiting for a game, you get thrown into the action. Its a faster system, and it works plenty well. And no, the system punishes quitters quite well actually.
He has a point when it comes to starting games 4v0. I’m hoping this is just a bug and not actually implemented to start so soon. The game should search for more players after the previous game. I’m all for winning, but I dont like easy/free wins. If you dont back out and the other team does, you’re almost gaurenteed that cheap win. Same goes for being outnumbered even 4v2, or in BTB cases 8v5 for example. Extremely unfair. I had one that was 8v2 and it was quite boring for us.
happened a few times but i fine that the games getting better at adding in team mates minutes if not instantly after the game has started to balance teams. it sucks when people back out or quit, and i think its a good thing to have people joining part way because nothing is more frustrating then playing when your team quits out. i have play about 200 games and refuse to quit a game even when friends do and try my heart out until others join. its all part of the fun. and keeping games competitive.
Oh, and theres been a number of games that i join on the losing team and turned it around. IE. played a I.S. match was down 760 to 540 when i joined. ended up winning by 20 points (2 kills). now thats edge of your seat gaming.
The game is still new so I expect many updates and fixes really soon.
