My favorite thing in warzone is starting with a longshot AR asap and annoy people from a distance.
Naw he's right, all vehicles seem to die rather quickly now. Compounding the problem is the larger player count and the claustrophobic levels that make vehicles difficult to maneuver. It's always been easy to shoot a gunner out in all the games, but here it's even easier due to the Warthog having to go slower and not being able to kite enemies anymore. It was an issue in 4 as well for the gunners.

Get 'em now at your local WallMart
That aint now Mountain Dew or Doritos!?
only 2000 ? i'd expect a silver pack!
Crouch and find a nice hole to wait in, it's like you have a personal mounted gun turret in your hands. Longshot AR was the first gun I unlocked for warzone.
My life when I spawn with anything higher then REQ 4

I'd like to see the option to opt-in to JiP with no effect on rank from those games but it's good to have the worst problem fixed so quickly.

After being mentally trained to wait 3 weeks to a month for any kind of change in MP games, this news is amazing.
Imagine the candy being req points
Well that was fast.

They just did this? Playing BTB last night and did not have a single JiP match, it was great!
Tell me about it. They mentioned the weekend but they got that sorted out quick time.

I actually like JIP in BTB. It's nice not ending up on a two man team at the end of a BTB game.
Awesome. Super fast turnaround. Keep up the good work 343i.

Feedback is life, feedback is love. Well done 343i.
You think having full teams at the end is more important than giving people the opportunity to play a game from start to finish, so that they can actually enjoy themselves, instead of trying to dig out of ridiculous holes.

I dunno about you guys, but Reach's lovingly textured gray blocks made me want to slit my wrists after a couple years.

This. I think that it is a fucking terrible decision disabling jip. I am really disappointed.

Hmmm, I hope 343 keeps up this level of response going forward. It bodes very well for the future of the franchise

There weren't voting options this week. BTB double XP maybe?

Spawns are pretty bad in the forge maps, but this? Really? http://xboxclips.com/Welfare+Queen+I/afc27e6a-7050-4660-852e-c5501bf5c242
Why is there even a spawn point there?
Yeah. Next week will bring back voting.

Oh my god the Halo community is something else. JIP disabled? I can't blame 343 for this as people against JIP were so vocal.
Why are people's first instinct "Nooooo 343 please get rid of JIP please". Instead of shouting from the rooftops "Keep JIP 343 keep it just make it so I'm not penalized for joining a losing game".

It is difficult to say, but what is the point of continuing now when that second person leaves??

Playing Deadlock really exposes the hiccups in the spawning system. I hope 343i looks into moments like these and many others, and tweak their algorithm or update the maps.
If there is no JIP, there needs to be a system in place to quickly get on with another match after people drop. I hate playing unbalanced matches.
Rocket League has Vote to Forfeit.
Not for Arena, but I see BTB as a different beast. Obviously the best case scenario would be JIP isn't needed because people arn't assholes and don't quite a losing game. Maybe the penalties can be upped or looked at now JIP isn't a thing. But I'd rather join a game late then be 3 men down on the losing team, or be steam rolling the other team because we out man them 8 to 4.
Joining a game late sucks for that one person. Being half a team down sucks and waters down the experience for both teams. Again, BTB specific, and hopefully the penalties stop the need for JIP.
Nice and Fast.
A lot of people like to bring up Bungies time in Halo to compare it with how it is now, but no doubt that if Bungie was still doing Halo they would had either taken weeks to change it or not change it at all.

Is that more RP all around or just in BTB?

Because it still sucks ass and isn't fun, even without being penalized.
Nothing fun about making it through the loading screens, only to walk into a 50-10 donging. And then after that inevitable loss, waiting through matchmaking AGAIN only to get thrown into a similar situation AGAIN.
