Can we have join in progress because it’s getting ridiculous?

Agreed. I can’t play this game type unless I am playing with my friends. It just isn’t fun with the sheer amount of quitting.
Breakout started out unplayable.

Yeah it’s so frustrating. And it’s hard to get a group of 4 friends (for me at least) at the same time just to play a game. It shouldn’t be a chore to do something fun.
YAS I usually play with one friend but he can REK the other team (SilverBakun). I look at it like it is a challenge not unplayable.
Join in progress would be awesome. They used to do that in H4.
My solution: get better at the game! Unless you’re playing against Champions, if you’re a bit more than decent (which we all like to think of ourselves as), you can beat 4 people. Then you get the extinction medals

It’s a challenge for sure, but it’s just harder to defend against with only one life. Especially 2v4.
Join-in progress? In a RANKED playlist? Eww. That was one of the biggest reasons BTB got flamed when it came out.

I am all for getting better, which is why I never quit. but how does this help in 1v4? It doesn’t. You could be chuck norris, and still get killed.
Breakout makes Breakout unplayable.

In a nutshell: It doesnt. But if someone is that worried about this scenario, maybe they should be playing arena with a group.
need lazy link. but yes, breakout quitters should get harsher banhammer
They stopped JIP for Ranked playlists, because no one wants to jump into a losing game and have their rank be affected, so I don’t think that’s the answer. People who frequently back out of Arena should get a harsher banhammer or something, because they really kill the game for people.
2v4 is impossible if the ranking system is doing its job. Ive had games where I went 2v4 and stomped the other team (because they were all bronze/silver). Ive also had games where it was 2 teams full of platinums, went down to 2v4 and got absolutely stomped. I was one win away from diamond and now im all the way back to plat 4. It all depends on the team your playing against. I wont play breakout without a full team anymore (which is why i havent played in a while). You need to communicated (no one ever has a mic), you need to have a strategy (see last point), people team kill because they dont get the DMR or BR, and the last point…some people genuinely suck at breakout and those are usually the ones I get on my team. You know the ones that shoot the floor, run in circles…those kind
No to join in progress. Hated that in Destiny. More often than not it puts you in a match that has already been decided.
It actually works in your favour to have less players in Swat. Less targets for your opponents and more for you.
I just finished a game of Breakout where a guy on my team was idle the entire game. After the first round when I realised he was idle I betrayed him three times. In the final round it was me and him versus one guy. I traded beatdowns and the idle guy was left alive. We won 5-1 and it put him at the top of our team over me even though I was 8/2, I had 1 flag capture and 3 round winning kills compared to his 0/5.
I realise now that by betraying him I limited the time the game knew he was idle so effectively kept him in the game.
I also realise that this has little to do with your point but just wanted to vent. In this instance I would gladly have accepted being a man down as that -Yoink- got rewarded for doing nothing.
Still opposed to join in progress being implemented however.
I wish the penalty for intentional quitting was like a 3 game ban so people would get the message
Breakout is a terrible game mode to begin with. So of course people quit. What really annoys me is that the Breakout gamemode is in rotation in ranked Team Arena AND ALSO has its own playlist. If I really wanted to play Breakout (which I never want to, ever) I would go directly into the playlist solely dedicated to Breakout. Why have it in the Team Arena rotation at all?
My best advice for H5 is don’t touch the 4v4 playlist without an actual team of four. It’s not worth it with the quitfest Halo has become. All I play is FFA, BTB, and very occasionally warzone.
