By sharp and flame; a friend of a friend.

I was just thinking this cause I've heard you are more likely to get big jackpots, and teh super ones if you complete your games alot, and do good.

Well, I usually do good, but I also quit games, alot.
If it gets super boring, starts taking too long, say with Grifball, if the other team is full of -blam!-s and they manage to camp my spawn, or if I have to go, I just quit. I dont care. But I recieved 3 super jackpots (30k) when it was available, and I've been getting around 1k cR per game usually, for the past few days. Plus I just got 2 3k jackpots in a row, from 2 games I barely played. (Was on the phone at the same time)

Is the Jackpot system really just luck, or what? Confusing.

Thanks.

He'd have instantly stopped and knelt down, one fist on the ground, hoping to be impervious to the officer's attacks. When this would have failed and he's in the back of the police car, he'd blame his predicament on his friends for not being team players.

You realize there is absolutely no percent chance increase that you will win a jackpot by not quitting games?

When they say don't quit games and you are more likely to win is just because when you quit you don't get a jackpot. It's just more tries at it.

You're just lucky.

I don't really agree with this. Unless you have proof that's just speculation.

I don't disagree on a practical level though, as I've never gotten a 30k jackpot and I rarely quit (talking like, 10 quits max in all my games total).

However, I have watched a forum ninja get two 30 k's within a 24 hour playing period. Our game and quit history are almost identical.

Bungie must be hate'n.
