an unpleasant experience

I did a search for this and strangely nothing came up. Maybe i fail at searching? /hides

anyway so i was playing some firefight and was looking at the end scores for a bit. I close the scores and instantly the game glitches, I see the firefight background and the option buttons listed at the bottom but nothing else. I try hitting the option buttons and nothing happens. It hangs like this for SO long that when it finally catches up im through intermission, through searching in a group and only seconds away from launching the game. Obviously i cant even back out the game locks you in once it finds a group NO exit.

So i take it i roll with this game, hit the ground and immediately try to pull reqs… nothing retrieving data. it stays in this state untill i eventually force close the game because its all buggy and broken (not to mention unfun who wants to shoot warden eternals with a standard magnum anyway) and its ALL carrying off from the initial hung screen after exiting the prior games score page.

The strange part is i am not unfamiliar with this hung screen thing, it often forces me to play more games than i intended because of the inability to exit once a group is found. But now it carries into the subsequent game and ruins the fun/playability completely by wrecking the req system. Is there a way to report this proper, or a way that it can be fixed/resolved (at least the “retrieving data” thing that is a 100% game killer) and maybe add a way of leaving a group thats formed, should something come up or a person who wanted to leave anyway but was locked in place by a bugged screen

The “getting locked in to play another game with no chance of leaving” is something I have struggled with since last summer after one of those updates. Its annoying, and yes, the only option is to dashboard quit. There´s an annoyingly high amount of pure bugs and networking related issues still in this game so long after launch.

This is a terrible glitch, thankfully has not happened to me in quite a while. The only thing to do is quit out before the new game starts and restart the game. So if I can not see the post game stats, it is probably going to go to that retrieving data unable to load reqs loop. quit and restart the game.

If you have a ‘retrieving data’ match; give your console a hard reset when it is over. It tends to take care of the issue.

this happens to me allot i just restart my halo when it freezes like that.
