Join already running zombie matches?

Posted by The_Toughest_Woods on Jul 20, 2012 1:55 AM

I think that you should be able to join already running zombie matches even in classic mode. You should join with a certain amount of points so you can either pick to buy a gun off the wall or try out your luck with the mystery box. In BO zombies when you died and once you came back in the next round even if you had 300 points in the last round it would still get boosted up to 1500 so you could get a gun. Would you agree with this idea? Why or why not?

    definitely not.

     

    Some random who's best round is level 10 joins a game at round 50 and ends up with a round 50 high score - does that sound fair to you?

    When ur at lvl 40 u need a jugg and a gun without that ur going to die over and over again + it isn't fair for the score.

      dude, buy a wall gun. Find an open area and gather enough points for jugg (you may need to get ammo for wall gun once or twice).

       

      Open area because -

      easier to avoid being trapped

      eayier for teammates to revive you

        This is definitely needed.  So many times a freind has logged in and wanted to play zombies but oh no I can't put him in my 3 man zombie room at level 20.  Gotta start from scratch.  Even if its invite only that would still be  a huge improvement.

         

         

        As for anyone who says your screwed with few pts in late round I say Bah.  You are too enamoured with the box and perks.  Run a pattern.  Gather as many zombies as you can, and fire in a line designed to hit as many as possible.  I call the pistol you start with 'My Most Amazing Point Getter Thingy' (okay I could probably shorten it a little).  If you buy a gun it should be a 500 pt wall gun that you use strictly to get more pts, and ONLY if youve emptied your pistol.  You are not worried about killing zombies.  In fact you would rather not kill them.  Just keep shooting them and gaining points.  If you fall inform your allies that they don't need to get you up.  Just let you die (the worst thing you could do is get your entire team killed trying to get you up just so you can fall again.  If you can't at least make back the pts you'll lose from dying with the MMAPGT then you need to go find another game.  Next round do the same thing.  At 5k pts I feel pretty comfortable about running the box.  Run it untill you find a decent gun, but make sure you leave enough pts for jugg.  If you get crap DONT get jugg.  Just use what you got till you die and start acumulating pts.  I've done this succesfully, and gone from being low man in the room to top dog.

          it'll need worked on, what you don't want is someone coming in and messing up your game..i mean if it's a private match invite only and i could invite a friend sure, same for public just you will never know who could join the team, could be someone that messes up strategy just becareful with it.

            You make a good point.  In reality I only want this so my freinds can join me in a game, so an invite only system works great for me.

      Its fairly easy to avoid hits, just get smg and you have jugg in no time.

      But to this joining session in progress idea: No.

    NO! you get to high round and a crap player joins in and gets 40+ level added to stats. the negatives out way the positives. Totally against it. Even on private match because it still affects stats. Sort out your team before you start.

    this could work, only if the joining player must have a record 5-10 levels higher than the round you are on and gets 1500, thats it

    but what is annoying is when a player lags out and wants to rejoin and cant

    but the problem with my solution is, a player can player with level 30 stat is playing leaves at level 15 for a break and comes back at level 25 after deserting his team, and if invite only, then this is basically a brake, and i would also ask that my friends just pick me up at level 20 every time we play

      what is everyone's issue with this?  Who cares if he's artificially bumped his highest level?  Hell when i first started playing 3 went down.  2 of them left the room.  I died every round all the way to the end.  Got to level 28.  So its not like this doesnt happen now.  But even if it does, what does this person get for getting high levels?  Answer:  a higher number next to his best round.  Thats all.  It means nothing.

      And for those of you who are about to tell me that that shows skill I want to pt something out.  I quit this game just after moon came out.  Just started playing again recently.  Now I'm a better then average player at zombies(as I've mentioned in another post I tend to die trying to get others up, or if some punk screws my rotation).  This is not reflected in my moon stat as i've only gotten to level 10.  Why?  Because I may have played it 10 times.  I get in a room with 3 50's, and we all have mics.  I'm looking forward to seeing how they got that high myself, and I'm totally willing to listen to suggestions.  They decide I'm not good enough to play with them and leave the room.  They didn't try me out say 'you suck'.  Just left. 

      Now when I first started playing I got to 28 on the back of another player.  Pretty much watched him solo the entire map.  So I had a 28 for kino der toten.  Didn't mean crap.  That funny number doesn't mean as much right now as people think it does.

    I was kind of thinking a little different about this. Maby a thing where if your friend disconnects he has 5 minutes to rejoin the game or the lobby closes

      See that I'm ok with, if someone times out from the match they can come back but just joining some random match no because people above are right, someone who has only been to like 8 will get put in a game at round 30 and get credit for it and they didn't earn it and another thing, I don't want to get put into someones game in progress like Multiplayer, I want to get dropped into a lobby everytime and start from round one

        Agree on both things, u can't join random games cause if u would be able to do that u should be able to kick to (kick everybody that joins later in the game). But if he timed out it sucks so he should be able to join again with the points he had but not like 5 rounds later, give him 1 or max 2 rounds. At the MP when u joined a game in progress u would end up in a losing game getting spawntrapped or what ever.

    Why or why not? I WILL MAKE THIS CLEAR I AM A WHY NOT.

    Its unfair. Thats one of the Great things in playing zombies u always start from a pistol and can evolve into a badass 3 weapon upgraded pro. And to be able to join in is unfair to players who actually start from round 1 and get to round 50.

    This is to everyone saying no, I think this should be put into it but let me explain the solutions.

     

    1. Most of you are worried that if you get to a high round and if someone sucky joins then they will get the credit. Well i think that his rounds should only start at the one he joined in, for example a guy joins at level 32 but on the and yall make it to 52, on the leaderboards its says 52 for everyone except the people that spawned in late it'll say he survived 20 rounds.

     

    2. Worried about spawn trapping? My idea is that to put a 5 seconds of invincibility so get yourself situated then go on from there.

     

    3. Worried the player that joins might suck? (Assuming there will be a vote to kick system) If the majority of your team does not want him in there then you could simply kick him.

     

    4. Unfair to people who started from round 1? The person will only start out with 1500 points and a pistol so he will have to box or buy a gun off the wall.

     

    If you're in a private match then its invite only and no problem of a random person.

     

    An idea then should be implemented along with this is there should be a join last session option, sometimes people lag out or lose connection to host (black ops multiplayer) then you should be able to rejoin the last game yall were in and continue exactly how it was (if everyone got kick) (if not): then rejoin with the things that you had, points guns etc. and have that 5 second invincibility just in case you get spawn trapped.

     

    Let me know what yall think about my soulutions and ideas.

        Stil round 30 is nothing compaired with round 1-20. So lets say he got with that team from 30 to 35 he only did 5 rounds, but also the hardest once. Looking at it from the scoreboard view is a nightmare.

    if it's private matches only, I'm fine with that.

      It could be implemented with the above 'invite only join' in the public rooms.  So you create a party, later one guy dces, you invite a friend that just logged in to replace.

    In Black Ops multiplayer, there were prestige leaderboards where only prestiged players could compete in the leaderboards.  Therefore you needed to be at least 1st prestige.  Theoretically, Treyarch should be able to make it where your highest round on a certain map is recorded, and it becomes the Zombies equivalent of a prestige in multiplayer.  That means your record on that zombies map could then become the highest round you could join. 

     

    In a sense of advantages you receive for joining later on, I am against this.  Currently, if you die in a round, you spawn in the next round with an M1911 pistol and 1500 points, supposing you have less than 1500 points.  That is balanced enough to make it not too easy to make a comeback, but not impossible either.

    You gotta be kidding me where the hell is the skill in that???

     

    Some dumb noob joins a game with 3 or 7 (for the 8 player game mode) have worked so far to get to a round in the 50's and then getd owna nd this loser automatically gets a ranking that says he made it to level 50 on the leaderboards?

     

    You guys are pathetic for even wanting something like this.

     

    Almost as bad as the phaggot who wanted a "kick" button.

    There should be an option for those who want it and those who don't. At least in private games. But it would be harder for a person to join since they start out high. They have to wait until the round is over and there should be an option for someone to give points to another person. But you can't ask for it. Although this will bring the problem of kids n dudes asking for free points like they bother their parents for money, but it'd think it's worth it.

    definitjlly not in the normal random playlist. an option on private playlists would be okay thou. would also like the option to spectate a zombie game.

     

    if joining mid game was added than also remove there round score but keep their point score if it comes otu on top.

    well if Im going to throw my 2 cents in their I have to say if they did this it would have to be invite only. and for those who say its not "fair" let me remind you that their are kids out there who just die every danm wave and stay with thier teams until round 30-50 aand it still says they made it that far soooo. there really is not vailed reason to say no to this function. I mean with that being said the good most certainly out way the bad. unless they add a ranking ayatem in zombies then where all screwed anyways O: lol

      I say private matches only and if someone joins nobody in the game get their rounds or score counted. However, I would like to be able to join a match I left/lagged out of if I was in it when the game was created. Too many times have a teammate or I lagged out due to our internet not being able to run for four hours straight, and it would be nice to be able to join back. Also, if you have to leave for a minute or two you could leave and rejoin later. Limitations would be you wouldn't be able to spawn in the round they are on; you would have to wait until the next round, but you would have everything you left with.

    I say no.  There are a few exceptions.  If when someone wanted to join, their stats were reviewed before joining and then the players could vote on accepting him/her in to the game.  For example, if your team is on Round 30 and someone wants to join.  His stats are that he has been to Round 10, then everyone votes against it and he leaves.  Give a 60 second timer and have the person wait while the votes come in.

     

    Here's a reason that players shouldn't be able to join.  The system would brake down because no one would want to do the hard work of getting to Round 30.  So everyone would quit and rejoin until they found a game that was already at Round 30.  For those of us that regularly make it to Round 30, this would not be problem.  I would rather spend 30 minutes finding a game already at Round 30 then spend the 3-4 HOURS getting their myself.  Then I would no longer play games that start from Round 1 as starting a game from Round 20 would be faster.  Too bad someone else has to carry the heavy burden while I get to Round 20 for free!

     

    I don't care about Leaderboards.  As long as I beat my current level I am happy.  Starting from Round 25 and trying to get past Round 40 everytime is better than starting from Round 1 and doing the same thing.  The difference in Leaderboard recognition means squat to me!

     

    The only way to counter balance this to have an option to close slots.  Meaning a solo game stays a solo game.  Otherwise I will get bombarded with people joining my game and annoying the mess out of me.  This is of course a game without the system described above.

     

    Random people joining is a BAD idea.  Even if they start with a disadvantage.  Some people will join the later games just to see what they look like.

     

    Imagine someone at Round 50 having a random noob, only to kamikaze in a corner.  All the zombies change course when he joins, no more Rtrains for the Round 50 person, no mic...just random chaos!

     

    That would make me rage quit Zombies FOREVER!!!

      i agree, i don't want random people joining my game as well as I don't want to join random games like Multplayer either and i hate to say this in the Zombie forums but they should give you an option to turn "join in progress" off for Multiplayer to, Multiplayer or Zombies I would want to get dropped in a lobby everytime

    wont happen, nope, NO, not fair that someone spends 5 hours playing, then a random joins for a high score. You guys really gota think over your ideas before you even mention them on a forums. I mean cmon, i dont know how many silly ideas i see on this forums daily. No disrespect... but cmon now think treyarch guys seriously.
