Over the past month I seem to be spawning into warzone games that have already started which really frustrates me, especially on firefight. Could it be because im using focused search preference, I think it’s about a month now since I changed from balanced to focused. But its description says it might take longer to find games in focused, which is ok by me but it seems to be cutting corners still and throwing me mid game. If its just a 343 problem then it should be fixed, I don’t play to start in the middle of a game, it hacks me that it’s even a possibility.
When playing Firefight solo, focused is a guaranteed join-in-progress for me.
Stick to balanced.
What’s the reason behind using focused for FF (just curious)? You’d have better luck in changing it back to balanced. It’s what I use and JIP games are rare. Plus I’d think the focused search setting be better suited for WZ or Assault since you’d be in a more balanced team (in theory).

Theoretically, to get a better connection.

I think focused just affects skill lvl. I still get lvl <10’s in WZ for some reason, mixed with 100+'s… Used balanced in WZ and focused inRanked if you have a high CSR

It’s a blend of skill and connection. Thus focused should yield a better connection. Source:

Oh. Well, depends on your rank, I guess. In Arena focused is better cause there’s less dropouts, and shorter matches. But with all the JIP’s in WZ, stick to balanced.

This has also been my experience. Although the amount of jip send to have gone up for me. Noob quitters?

I’m sure that’s part of it, but a lot of veterans as well. What disappoints me is taking a look at many of the quitters and seeing them off playing different parts of the game or other games entirely. Firefight seems to be treated as something people do until their friends come online, then they bail.
I’ve also found the servers to be (more) twitchy since the last update and not always launch me into the game (black screen, spinning wheel), etc.
In my experience, playing with a friend drastically cuts down on JIP.

I wonder if clearing out the games and apps I don’t use would help. Kind of like we used to do with computers in the old days…
At this point even in warzone, not firefight, im almost guaranteed a spawn in mid game. I actually just spawned into the middle of a game twice in a row, I quit out the first one. But ill try switching it back to balanced to see if its any better
