Baby Boo Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Like most of you, I have seen the halo 4 news. Joining mid game being part of it. I actually think it is a bad idea. Sure, it would be good when you are missing 3-4 players in a game like infection, and you get some players joining to take their place, but all in all, seriously. What's the point? I can't even begin stating the reasons it shouldn't happen. What do you guys think? Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuette Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Right when you join the game ends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 ^Precisely. What fun is that? besides, this will make EXP bonuses hard to give and keep track of if you only join part way through... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Tyrael Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think it is a good idea. There should be a skill system, making quitters leave less often. This makes the game faster yes, and can help you when you are down a few guys. I really, don't see a problem with it all to much. Plus i wouldn't mind joining in game process, i believe they have a different ranking system style. IF they are going to introduce in session join of matches. I just hope it is good, and doesn't remain like Reach's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well... All I can say is that it better be set up good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giofosho Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 It would work in benefit of social game types like infection and anything unranked. It wouldn't work well playing ranked games. You should have to stay in the rank game and if someone quits they shouldn't be replaced because that is really not right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Pilot Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 1. Choosable search option 2. Only join direct games with friends or recent players, and maybe invites as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymousnorris Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 The cons are that you will probably join games that are near ending most of the time. Also the team you join will likely be losing most of the time, which is why the person whose spot you filled left in the first place.

DoctorB77 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Only join session in progress. Not when you search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carts Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Cons: -Join a game that is about to end -Join a game that is already lost/ no way to win Only way I could see it work is if stats dont track when you join a started game. Or, games can only be joined in the first half and if the score margin is close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccup-mann Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 What they should do is make it so after halfway through the match no one else can join the game, that is so you don't join a match that is about to end or no way of winning. It would be a good idea though because if someone leaves another person could take their place, meaning it would be a fair game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Biggles Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 i think its a bad idea, apart dfrom the fact it feels like CoD and stuff, people will join in a late game because someone has quit because they are losing, and then someone will join and get an instant loss, this has to be done in a different way to CoD, like, make different people join lobby then after 10 seconds the lobby solidifies and no one else can join apart from in postgame lobby, again, Like CoD, just different.

XO Jaime OX Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 well you only join if you leave the lobby, if you stay you get to play full versions of the game and not just half. and people have been asking for this for a long time, and when they do give it to us, we hit them saying its like COD? i think that's unfair for them and they have been saying that the game is not like the games its being compared to *cough*COD*cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzdw11 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I like the concept of joining in progress, and if it's done properly then I think it could be a great addition. In social games, if it's similar to BF3 where you're joining a server then great. However, in ranked matches I still think it needs to be the old system of matchmaking, opposed to joining a game in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c16jordan Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think it's a good idea, that the teams will always be even. But it would suck to join at the end of the match and get a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My BR iZ RusTyy Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think it would be terrible in ranked, for these reasons: 1) Joining a game when it's just about to finish (even if you get a win, its still boring) 2) Joining a game where your team-mates are getting smashed in the rear. 3) Having to beat 5+ players to get a win in a ranked game would suck ( assuming the playlist is a 4v4 ) 4) Your Win/lose ratio would be meaningless.

This. Anyone who wants the join session in progress either lacks the ability to comprehend it's implications, or intentionally wants it so halo becomes even more of a casual (win/loss ratio will mean nothing). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 You guys have good points. Basically, I skimmed over and saw: Ranked mid-game join= Bad. Social mid-game join= Good/helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
