Warzone Join in Progress Confirmed

In a new interview with Kevin Franklin, we find out that Warzone has a join in progress system. A game wont start without 18 players, once started, players can join based on average rank in the match.

So what do you guys think? I’m not a big fan of join in progress matchmaking, but it makes sense… As long as its war zone only.

This is good news.

It makes sense.

Warzone JIP is old new ( since e3). To help catch you up; players who are afk in warzone will be kicked from the match after a certain a mount of time and replaced by JIP players.

However the 18 player confirmation is nice to hear. Though 18-24 people may not be particularly easy to find, I could be wrong with dedicated severs up.

Fine by me. Suffering from the wrath of quitters in a Warzone match would really suck.

I hope it goes off without a hitch

In the future, all you need to do is type out your text, then select the text you want to make into a lazy link, and then click on the icon above the Post Preview window that looks like a chain, and then paste the link you want into the URL field. It will automatically convert your selection into the link you want. Easy! :slight_smile:

I’m not a huge fan of joining losing matches but it seems that it’s possible to turn things around quickly in Warzone…
I’ll reserve judgment until later.

Warzone is controlled chaos, JiP is uncontrolled chaos…It makes sense to keeps matches interesting and JiP will definitely make it interesting.

This.

I’d say after halfway or something they shouldn’t be allowed to toss you into a game though. There is a certain point where it just becomes a lost cause, especially if you’re just starting out in that game specifically.

I agree

That’s my concern, long wait times to get into a game; I know it won’t happen right away by any means, but down the road without a patch one could be sitting for many minutes waiting for one more player. But I’m all for a join in progress deal; I’m not that worried about my win/loss record if I get tossed into a match in progress, I’ll just keep playing again and again.

Dedicated servers would make for a very simple experience of tossing people together. If it gets as much of a population as they are anticipating, it should be really easy to get games.

Is there a system that detects if the game is halfway through? so if it’s almost finished and you are on a crap team and are losing you don’t get the loss on your record.
it would be nice to know

Yeah can’t wait to get thrown into some game halfway over where the team I get stuck on is getting whooped and it gives me a loss.

Large majority of players hated JIP in Halo 4 for a reason.

You just love to moan about everything don’t you? Why do you care if you lose in Warzone? It is a casual playlist meant for fun, playing 3 vs 12 would not be fun in this playlist because your team quits. As long as JIP is not in Arena which it isn’t I don’t see the problem. You just like to bash anything to do with Halo 5 at any given oppertunity stop moaning dude.
