Subject: I went to black screen and something crazy happened!

We were on invasion in the third tier (core unlocked) with about 1 1/2 min left. We switched hosts and came back on the first tier (with about 1 1/2 min left). The elites failed to complete the first task, so the spartans won, right? wrong... elites had 2 points already, and the spartans only 1, and so elites win. lame.

Shortly after beginning of match, I just finished winning assisting battle and we black screened. I had full health but no shields and the alarm was going. I moved to safety around the corner waiting for my shield to regen and it black screened once again. Once back, I was racing for cover (dorm) and waiting for my shields to regen but they never did. Eventually, I was dismissed by the opposing team. I do have a video saved of this to my file share.

Same except we were at phase 3 and I had a scorpion and was camping the cap point. Went to black screen came back and I was out of my scorpion, it was gone and I spawned on the covy side.

Chidori!

If there is a migration, respawn everyone back at the default starting points, because I'm sick and tired of standing turned to the side when my enemy is looking right at me, so that he can kill me in 5 seconds while I need time to turn around. The same thing happens in Halo 3

In the middle of an invasion game I'm running to capture an area and it black screens from someone quitting. When we come back it confuses it's rounds and then changes back to the right round.

Following that I run in to kill a Spartan and it gives me a first strike medal (in the middle of a game). Not sure why but two of us got a first strike medal that game.

As an Elite on Invasion, after a host migration everything was fine but once I was killed I twice spawned at the location "out of bounds" which was above a bottomless pit. After those two quick deaths I was able to switch spawn location and the game proceeded as usual.

update: I believe this is the game http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=12876 305&player=George56

I was playing as an Elite in a game of invasion, i had just taken a wraith and was driving it to the second outside capture spot. There the game lagged and when i came back, i had no wraith. To add to that, it restarted me with an AR, 2 frags and the sprint ability, AS AN ELITE!!!!

and how!

Check this out. A self induced disconnection can lead to an automatic win.

P.S. That is not my youtube account, I hate cheaters. Plus, I'm smart. If I was a cheater I wouldn't have told the world about it, I would've kept it for myself.

I was playing invasion on boneyard. The screen went black and apparently other people were still playing fine because I could hear explosions and movement etc. I died during the black screen and got my picture back/respawned outside the map to get a suicide.

When there are timeouts everyone in the game should be frozen and unfrozen at the same time, possibly via a counter in the middle of the screen.

Here is a video of my experience:

THIS IS REAL CRAZY!!! I was playing invasion on the elites team. At the start of the game I went to black screen and when I came back I was still an elite but I had an AR and could sprint. It was kind of awesome.

It seems like every single time this happened to me during the Beta, I would come back into the game with a surprise--I had no armor ability. There was no icon or meter in the lower left of the HUD, my LB button was useless, and the next time I would die (which was usually fairly quickly being matched up against people who seemingly didn't suffer this effect), my ability selection had defaulted to the first choice in the list.

black screen then...

Invasion
*while an elite we all had spartan weapons and abilities
*or no abilities

While Spartans on invasion slayer
*no abilities
*couldn't capture any territories timer would not count down
*elites were invincible

after a while our abilities came back but the elites all had ghosts/banshees, wraiths, and power weapons

they probably had a lag switch though
