Armor changing in game to recruit.

Something I have been noticing a lot recently is that whenever we enter in a custom game or matchmaking the armor changes from what they currently have equipped to Rank 1 recruit armor. Now of course this has happened with previous games like Halo Reach and Halo 4 but it was mostly caused by connection issues. In this case it seems to be an actual glitch occurring in game thats not related to connection. It doesn’t happen every time but it has been occurring a lot more than usual. It has been particularly a nuisance to some of my machinima friends who try to film their works but yet the armor of the players is set on recruit and not the armor that was set before starting the game. It would be extremely helpful if this glitch could be patched at some point in time.

Thank you.
