I might sound kinda dumb. But, I always felt like joining at the start of the game was just a Halo trait. Not better, or worse. Just different. In exchange for not getting new teammates, you don't join halfway through games you can't win, or make it more difficult a get a challenge that way.
It's kind of like, you always get the same chance to have a good game. The only variable is the people.
I'm sorry but, "the people" are the most UNreliable variable there is...
I have yet to play a BTB match where someone DOESN'T quit!!!
Ban threats are not gonna stop people from quitting. The point that bungie never realized (cause they're so freaking stupid) is that YOU CANNOT STOP PEOPLE FROM QUITTING!!!
So instead, u should have a system in place to account for the quitting. So that when people quit (and they WILL!), they are replaced by other gamers, and the match continues on...
Don't try to tell me about how a drop-out, drop-in system will lag up the matches, or cause people to enter matches on the losing team, or cause people to enter into matches that have 5 seconds left. I get multiple long-ass black-screens every BTB match I play (and it's NOT my connection). If people quit you have just as much chance of landing on the losing team as if joining with a drop-in system. And if u join at the end of a match, who cares?!! It does NOT count as a win or loss, and u just wait for the next match to start up.
