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

I got another one, this one was on sword base-

shortly after the black screen i was shooting a guy on the highest bridge when a guy on a jet pack went and assassinated me, but my guy fell to the ground noone on top of me and died, he hit the button to assassinate me but fell off the side of the bridge and kept walking along


I also have this video on my file share as well

At the begining of a Invasion game I spawned on the elite side with a assault rifle in hand and sprint for a armor ability. After I died in the game I regained the elite's set loadouts.

I have a video of it on my file share

I was playing SvE, I got the first strike then an ennemie quit.
We went to blackscreen for a second, and when we returned in the game I've been without shield for about 30-35 seconds. I found this weird and it happened right after a blackscreen so this is why I'm posting this here.

Can't wait to the full Reach game!!!!!
Continue the Beta until then!Plz!

Halo 3 in The Work PLace: Work Hard, Play Hard

My mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy." They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didnt understand life.

Went to black screen when trying to spawn on my squadmate. The screen remained black, even though I could hear all of the action. It stayed black until I managed to spawn.

I think this is the right place to post it.

I was playing grab for grab and the screen went black or it was loading and then everyone else in left the game. Most likely connection problems and I was the only one left in the game and it said my team won. It went through the normal stages and I received my credits however I was banned for apparently quitting the game.

I soon realised my internet connection had gone down because my internet stopped working and MSN disconnected as the laptop was beside me. Even though it stated I won and received credits I was banned and had to wait it out to play again.

This has happened to me before but the other times I wasn't banned. Also, this sometimes happens to me in halo 3 lol.

Loadouts go back to the default option after host migration.
If I don't remember to change my loadout on the next spawn, I'll end up as a Scout. (or whatever the first option is)

I was playing as an Elite in invasion when host migration happened and when it ended, I respawned instantly (and I hadn't been killed either) for some reason at the other side of the map,
and my loadout went to AR,Magnum and Sprint, although I was an elite.

I was a spartan. In a tank, took out loadsa guys. Then Black screen. Came back on the other side of the map and on foot. Walked a bit, black screen happened again and I started in the same place again :S

I was playing Invasion Slayer when we went into a host migration, once we came out of the black screen nobody was able to capture the zones. We'd throw grenades at it, run vehicles through it, try seeing what happened when both teams we're on it but nothing happened. Then about 20 seconds later a new zone emerged and we had two simultaneous spots to fight for. Then after the new one was captured we had 2 wraiths spawn one on top of the other as if we had just captured two zones at once. Also i received the first strike medal after we returned from the host migration (even though as a team we had more than 60 kills.)

This has happened to me as well. I was sitting in the black screen hearing everyone else play for about 2 min.

I was playing stockpile on powerhouse, someone shot me and my shields dropped. Then, there was a black screen and my shields didn't recharge.
Once I was killed and respawned, everything was fine again.

I lot of weird things have been happening to me because of host migration. One was I was about to do a perfect assassination on someone, the host migrated, and we both spawned meters away from our original position.

Another one was during the game, the host migrated and right after that I got First Strike when someone else got it previously.

There are also other things that I can't remember right now, but see what you can do, Bungie.

I have two glitches that occurred after the black screen:

At the end of an invasion game, we went to the black screen and then the game started over. I was an elite but now I had an assault rifle and the sprint ability. Someone also might have spawned with the plasma launcher. It occurred between 6:00 and 6:30 on the video. It is tagged as "invasion gltch".

Second, sometime after the black screen on invasion, someone on the other team was driving around in the wraith, got lasered and still survived with the wraith, except the wraith was missing its plasma cannon. This one is tagged as "wraith gltch".

Both of these videos are on my fileshare.

When flying in a banshee, it teleported me out of the banshee and over the edge of the map when I was literally in the air on the opposite side of the map as the cliff. The invasion game in my file share has footage of it.

Elites rule!

After finishing an invasion map, the leaderboard came up. and stayed up. everyone left except for myself and 3 others. after a minute or two, a new game started where the elites spawned defending w/ human wepons and abilities, and the spartens spawned attacking w/ elite weapons and abilities.

(p.s. 2v2 invasion doesnt work well lol)

All your base are belong to us,even in infection gametypes.

I was playing Invasion as an Elite, Black Screen happens, and I have an AR, and the sprint ability on. Elites don't even have the sprint ability!(Regular Invasion wise).

Adopt a grunt!!!

One time when i was playing invasion and i was on the elites team, and there was a host migration. After the host migration i had an assult rifle that i didnt pick up, and i could sprint. It also happened to some of the other elites who were playing as well. when iy happened i was an assasin elite with active-camo. I also saved the film so peolpe wont think im crazy.

Also almost every time it migrates you are faceing a diffrent dirrection, which is realy annoying if you are trying to blow someones brains out.

We black screened during the game right as my friend CH1L1P3PP3R got beat down. When we came out of black screen he was a mile underneath the map for a second or two, then he respawned as a corpse. He was unable to move or shoot, but he was able to look around. He was stuck like that for the rest of the game.

Here is the entire game film from his point of view,

I hope it doesnt matter that it isn't rendered.

Seems to have happened a lot. I may have been downloading a rather large file on my network when it happened ;)

Kind of makes me wonder about my elite's parents... Spartans don't seem so noble anymore.

Here is a video where we went to black screen and when it came back it spawned us out of the map in the air to fall to our death.
