(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Don't you hate it when you get on mw3 or even black ops and you select Team Deathmatch and matchmaking joins you into a lobby were the score is 1000 - 7000. I do too, so i was thinking for Black ops 2 Treyarch should add a feature that when you select find game it lets you choose whether to join the game or not if its already in progress. It would save alot of raging, i know it would be bad because people wont join matches that are 1v6 but not everyone is going to to choose not to join. This would be a game breaker for me Smile

Like you said people would usually say no. However, the people that play COD amaze me at how terrible they are. I have seen guys go 5-40 and are getting wrecked yet still don't rage quit when I couldn't blame them if they did so maybe people wouldn't mind. Could make it harder for parties to find lobbies though.

Speaking of which, you should play in parties of at least 3-4 people. This or full parties will dramatically cut down on you getting thrown in blowout games. It will also give you and your party a chance to make a comeback win. Joining in progress isnt so bad and is a good challenge IF you don't play solo.

They should do it but, when you think CoD Matchmaking is meant to get you in to any game as quick as possible, I questioned IW about making it so you can only activate certain maps they said that would cause so much Matchmaking work on the servers so No was the answer to that, so the same will happen to Joining Pre-Game Lobbies only, it would have to filter every lobby to find one with enough spaces then in pre-game lobby, It just wont happen!

I want to have the option though like yesterday I joined a TDM or a Kill Confirmed and 1 kill and the game was done I was like :argh:

They need to do that. I hate joining a lobby and losing by 120 points and all air support in the air. I think it happens to me atleast 5 times a day. They actually have to do something about rage quitting. If you dash board more than twice in a hour make them have to wait another hour to play.

they should just simply do a did not finish system like fifa if your DNF reaches 90% or more you will get deducted some xp or something (why? stops fags leaving games and makes the game more fun?)

When you dashboard the game servers just ignore that game anyway so no point trying a system like that, think if the persons internet is really crap and it keeps crashing that does the same effect as Dashboarding!

Naw too extreme. Do it like old Madden games. When people quit their player is replaced by a combat training bot until/unless another player joins.

We as a community get way too demanding I notice lol. Want people banned for rage quitting and killed off from subjective camping, etc.

But yeah replace the quitter by a bot or person and however bad that bot does it is applied to the quitter's stats.

It could work but if people choose to not join games that are already in progress. I would however like something to be done with the matchmaking. Lots of times I've joined games that were already over before I can pick my class so I'm back to pre game lobby. stare

The only time I ever like it is when I join a game in progress and the team I am put on is winning. It doesn't happen very often, but it gets you an easy win.

Giving players the option to decide whether they want to join matches in progress or not will most likely impact on matchmaking. I understand joining a game late usually ends with a loss, but it makes matchmaking much faster.

If you were playing a really good game and everyone left and this option existed, potentially nobody would rejoin and the game would end early due to forfeit, ruining your awesome game :p

It's a good idea, but could effect the game negatively more than positively.
