Cortar Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 HOW did this get past their quality control team? Were their game testers caffeine addicted, ADD riddled, 8 year olds who couldn't wait more than 5 seconds before the next match started? I can't think of any sane person who would rather the game started as a 3v4 or 5v6 rather than wait the extra minute or two to find that last person (especially on objective-type maps). This is seriously scary bad design.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is seriously scary bad design.... You do realize that some people are not always going to be able to play 2 or more matches, right? Secondly, how do you know they even WANT to play a second match? Thirdly, there is something called 'Join Session In Progress' that was implemented in this game, you realized that to, right? Fourthly, there is always going to be games that start uneven and there is absolutely no way to circumvent that fact. If YOU had the patience to play the game for an extra minute and give someone a time to join, then maybe your problem will be solved. Fifthly, calling people a bunch of '8-year olds' is very immature and is not helping anybody. Just because they quit a match (in-game or lobby) doesn't make them an 8-year old. Are YOU an 8-year old freak who don't know nothing about game mechanics. Didn't think so. This person doesn't have the patience himself and doesn't know how joining matches work. Thanks.

Thanks. 1) What? 2) what???? 3) Yes, but nobody really likes that, do you like joining a game where the enemy team already has a flag halfway across the map, a full mantis, snipers, etc, while your team has nothing. 4) They rarely did in Halo 3. And just bc they might start uneven because of a leaver shouldn't mean that the system will just start an uneven games even if they dont have leavers. Waiting an extra minute outside of the game is completely different from waiting an extra minute INSIDE. 5) The people who can't wait an extra minute are the immature ones. I know plenty about game mechanics, you are obviously the one lacking in knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Halo 3, if a leaver leaves in the pre-game lobby, the game starts uneven idiot. 5) Idiot, you are the immature one. As I said before (which you idiotically didn't get), not everybody is going to be able to play a second match. Again, there is a 'Join Session In Progress' made so those 'leavers' will quickly be replaced. Seriously, you are the one who don't know how game mechanics work and how life works. I'm not a game maker (I'm a 17-year old high school junior), but if you expect everyone to stay in the lobby even though they can now be replaced, you have some serious mental issues. :thumbsdown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Wolf Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Eh, I agree with the OP. I think most people would rather wait the extra 30 seconds than get put into a 2v4. It's just... Very unHalo. It's something Halo has never done. And for good reason. Join in session is fine, but really, just take the time to find a proper match up. ESPECIALLY on objective.

(4) YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, the system will start even if there were leavers!!! If the system finds a group of 3 and a group of 4, sometimes it will just flat out start, no leavers involved at all! 5) What does this have to do with anything? I see no reason why there isn't a leave penalty like the previous Halo games. Regardless if someone can replace you or not, ragequitting because you suck/didnt get a weapon you wanted/didnt get a vehicle you wanted/whatever should NOT be an acceptable thing.

Real Talk Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I would really rather play 5v6 than wait 2 minutes. A lot of people do not have the time to spend half their playing time in pre game lobby waiting for the perfect match up, just because they cant wait does not mean they are immature they just sometimes dont have as much time as you. Often times when games DO start uneven in H4 players are already joining in by the time I take a few steps. Not always though the JIS still needs tweaking though, but what else doesnt.

FaTaL Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 A true competitor will overcome any obstacle that may lye in his path. You can either play the game and TRY to win, or get pissed and quit. Which one sounds more productive to you all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Wolf Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Well, but here's the thing. It worked FINE in Halo 2, 3, and Reach did it not? The part about FINDING a match? I mean, I don't recall it often taking much longer than it does in H4 to find a game. If someone leaves afterwards, great, replace them. But I don't see what's so hard about the old method of searching for players. It worked. It still does. It can with H4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, so most games take 4 minutes for you? Maybe you should stop rage quitting at the beginning of every match... Often times =/= all times. Uneven starts are 0% acceptable.

This is what I've been trying to tell Cortar, but he doesn't seem to understand this. He even idiotically mentioned that the game starts, regardless of who left. Does he really think the game is going to just sit for half a minute, ready to start the game because 2 players left? This guy is such a dummy. There is a 'Join Session In Progress' for a reason. Also, he even thinks that even though we have the JIP system, we still need to be punished. How dumb can he be? No game should have a quit penalty for ANY reason. Sure, some people might ragequit, but they only do it so they won't get angry and slap their xbox, sometimes physically scratching the disk. Cortar, you are a stinking idiot. Whether or not ragequitting is unacceptable, nobody is going to be punished for it because the issue has been resolved. Also, a 'inherently broken' system CAN be tweeked. All they have to do is make it so you don't just join a game that is 90% from being over. If you have the patience to wait until another player joined the game, you will know that no penalty is needed for quitting. 343 Industries isn't in the business of virtual game truancy suppression. I'm not even going to call you an idiot anymore. I'm just going to call you a 'dumbass'. Thanks. Edit: I'm sorry if I'm offending you, but please, I need you to understand that nobody needs to be punished for quitting anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superusername2 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Whilke it is annoying to start in an uneven game or be thrown into games where you are at a huge disadvantage. It is very satisfying when you win that 2v4 match or you turn around that game where you started at -10 kills. So double edged sword i guess.
