This is getting very old. I love this game but when my team is losing they quit and I’m stuck by myself getting destroyed by the other team. They really need to add join in game or make the ban worse for quiting like no shield for so many games. That is alot worse than time bans
I personally think JIP should not be in Halo.
While I’m a proponent of JiP in Halo, I don’t think it should be included within “core” Arena playlists that are 4v4, 2v2, or FFA; especially, when you consider that it would probably damage the integrity of the CSR system. In most cases a JiP system works best for the bigger team games which is why I don’t think BTB will be all that great when it does make its’ appearance and I say that as a huge BTB fan. Personally, I hope the Weekend Social playlists can receive a limited JiP like Warzone does and that BTB gets included as a weekend playlist option to vote for. The key term I stress in advocating for JiP is LIMITED because the matchmaking system should not attempt to use the JiP to fill-out the team as the lobby progresses toward and goes into match start; instead, the JiP should only be active for a limited period of time after a match begins with full teams. Another important thing is I think 343i should add a FORFEIT feature to the “core” Arena playlists (those that lack JiP) so that players who have teammates who quit on them can end a match early if they wish.
EDIT: I envision the forfeit match option in Arena working like this: once selected a small white flag indicator would appear on the edge of your HUD as well as on teammates (along with the name of the player who wished to forfeit). This flag indicator would alert the remaining teammates of that player’s desire to forfeit the match; however, in order for the match to be forfeited a certain percentage of the remaining team must also forfeit. For example: In a 4v4 game; if you’re the only one remaining due to others quitting for whatever reason (shutting off their system, resetting the game by dashboarding, or by server mishap) then all it will require is for you to forfeit (1 of 1), if there are two remaining players on the team it requires that both of you choose to forfeit (2 of 2), if there are three remaining players on the team then it will require a majority (2 of 3), and if all members are on the team it will again require a majority (3 of 4) to forfeit the match.
If Big Team (8v8) becomes an Arena playlist without a limited JiP (which it probably does) a similar concept can be included: 4 of 5, 4 of 6, 5 of 7, & 6 of 8 would be required; basically, the required percentage never drops below 2/3 of the team. In Doubles (2v2) the full team would need to forfeit and there wouldn’t be a need for a forfeit option in FFA games because there’s no negative affect toward a teammate if you wish to leave – only to yourself.

Same.
People will start getting banned for it and it will slowly stop. Quitting does not go without consequences in this game. But ya, it is already a bit of a problem. But it’s the Halo community. It’s full of raging quitters.

I think when you lose a player within first half of match, you shouldnt be given any decrease in rank. it really doesnt help and make it fair for people searching solo… i just had a little winning streak, then boom, someone quit and it was just me and another decent player trying to not get hammered whilst carrying a bad player, Score ended 49-50 loss. Should we be punished that it was 3v4 for 90% of the match?
Sweet.
So this is going to be like old school Halo games where people rage quit & I get stuck with sitting in a 4v1 situation unless I quit too…
-Yoink!-…
Uhhhh you do know JIP is in the game right?
“JiP works best for the bigger team games which is why I don’t think BTB will be all that great when it does make its’ appearance.”
Halo 4 had JiP for BTB and it fixed what is, in my opinion, the biggest game-breaker and a long-standing issue with Halo online multiplayer. BTB NEEDS JiP. Smaller team games… I think people just have to get used to the idea of it not being there and stay in the bloody game. Though I agree when you are on the wrong end of 1v4 it is offputting.
How bout a Casual Slayer playlist with JiP? That would make everyone happy.

Play Warzone. It has JIP. 
I have also been a huge supporter of JIP.

I agree I LOVED JIp in Halo 4. Absolutely loved it. Especially for BTB.

Why are people acting like it’s not then?
Or is it only particular modes allow JIP?

JIP is ONLY in Warzone. Hopefully BTB also has JIP. But I have a feeling it wont.

It gives you a chance to learn to hide and hone your skills :). I like those situations.
I hope they get the quitting situation sorted out before BTB arrives.
Not looking forward to game after game of 2v8.
This has never been in Halo, so I am not surprised it is not implemented in this game. I think it would ruin the integrity of the rankings anyway since rank is based on wins after you get your original Rank.

Agreed. Only way it could work is if the win/loss didnt count towards the late joiner.

I’m almost positive one of the previous Halo games added JIP.
I disagree entirely. Most people who quit are dead weight anyway. Arena shouldn’t have join in progress as it should emphasize close games. If you want JiP war zone has it so go play that. I don’t need JiP to put me in ranked matches where I’m losing nor do I need to experience what I did in Halo 4 where scrubs would join in on my team, be absolute garbage and then lose us a match we were winning.

Can’t do it for Arena as it is ranked. Play FFA or take a pre-made team in with you if it’s a problem. It would be sh*tty for the winning team if the bad player on the other team got replaced by a good one halfway through.
I don’t think new players should be able to join BUT I was playing with friends and was disconnected at the beginning of a match and wasn’t able to join back in, in arena this was pretty annoying.
