8 out of 10 games I gt thrown into the middle of a match that is always on the losing team. Who thought this is a good idea!? It’s so frustrating. Not only do I have to wait like 5 mins for a game to even start but then I have to leave because of this bs and start all over again. How have you not fixed this yet???
I say add an option to choose whether or not you want to be able to JIP or not.
That is why I play with a team. We are NEVER thrown into games that have already started and we usually win that way. Find a team, then you won’t have that problem.
If you are playing solo there is a simple solution to prevent a JIP. If it is going to put you into a game that has already started you will see the other spartan’s faces before you are in a lobby. From there click start, go down to network setting, and select “my xbox” or anything other than “xbox live”. It will cancel the JIP. Put your settings back to Xbox Live and join a different game.
I say add an option to either accept or decline the results (W/L, K/D, XP) from a game you joined in progress.
… but that might be a lot more complicated than I make it sound. Or not. Who knows…
I agree, I feel this is also one of the biggest reasons they are not wanting to do a 1-50 system, because JIP would ruin that as well. They are trying to make it to much like COD and casual gamer friendly. True Core Halo players want a fresh game where you can be strategic and rush power weapons and time them and get map control and run the game. A casual gamer is just happy staring at his screen knowing he can run around and splatter people not caring if he wins or loses. This is something else they can actually fix with a 1-50 system. Just leave JIP on for social and disable it for ranked playlist.

this is what I have been doing for weeks now and it works great. I never get JIP matches anymore =)
Lol you can get out of a JIP when you see everyone in the lobby. Its easy, I dunno wtf everyone is complaining about its not that bad anayway.
Hint: It has to do with network settings
Lately, most of my JIP games haven’t been that bad. I’ve actually been put on the winning team for a few occasions. That doesn’t mean I like JIP though. I still do the get out of JIP game trick for the majority of the time.
Wake me when it’s fixed.
I’ve JIPed into games where I never even spawned as the game was over as the load screen came up. I really appreciate those losses on the stats.
But, in the long run, I’m ok with JIP. I don’t have a reason why, its just something I tolerate.

Maybe there should be a time limit… JIP is only acceptable if it’s ohhhh I dunno, a minute or less into the game? Exact time limits are left to the experts but I HATE JIP when it’s near the end and I get put on a team thats already lost. I get the feeling like, “Oh man… I’VE BEEN SENT TO SAVE THIS TEAM BY DIVINITY.” Then I fail and I feel guilty. Guilt is a huge thing for a woman. I blame 343i for like 12% of my guilt-based anxiety. Give or take.

Just play on a team, in dominion you can win games before the enemy even knows what hit them… They lose before they can consider quitting and no one needs to join in progress . I think the fastest game we won in Dominion was under 2 min

I have been doing the same thing. Such a bless not joining into an automatically losing match… now only to find better teammates so I don’t get crappy randoms and I think I’ll be good. Lol.
Solution 1:
Just get rid of it! Why the hell is a 3v1 match even allowed to start
Solution 2:
Allow players to turn it off. So that I personally would never join a match in progress, if enough people turn it off, problem solved
Solution 3:
Rank and Social Playlist. JIP is fine for social bs games, but ranked are taken more seriously.
The jip system is vital to combat the high volume of quitters.
If you could disable the option everyone would do so, rendering it useless.
At the moment I don’t mind JIP because 343 have made it so that no games matter any more. I really don’t care whether I win or lose in Halo 4 because every game is pretty much a “practice” game. However, if they finally get round to introducing a 1-50 ranking system, it should NEVER be used!
