So I got robbed of an Unfriggenbelievable today, went 48 and 0 on Exile. Half way through everyone black screened, has anyone else ever had this happen before on a huge spree? Also, why does this happen? Really looking forward to dedicated servers on the next installment. ;_;
A black screen essentially restarts a game, but it remembers every ones location, weapons, ammo, etc.
One of the many things it doesn’t remember is sprees, which resets them sadly 
I got robbed of about 5 or 6 Unfrig’s in Reach. I’ve only gotten Untouchables in Halo 4 though, it’s just too easy to die.
Worst I’ve been robbed of is a Killing Frenzy, and I came back to see a suicide for some reason when the screen went away.
I’ve also been booted back to the lobby numerous times, but usually I’m able to keep playing.
Nothing to me sucks more than being in a winning KotH game, black screening back to the lobby, and then immediately joining a new KotH game that lags to the point where you can’t even hit the ground with a rocket.
I just love it when it black screens RIGHT WHEN I AM ABOUT TO KILL SOMEONE, after experiencing this over and over again - I have made an assumption stating that the person that I was about to kill cowered and quit.
Black screen resetting sprees has been a problem since Halo 3.
What’s also really annoying is when YOUR black screen lasts longer than everyone else’s and you get killed while waiting to return to gameplay.
On Adrift, a SWAT game, I managed to get a Running Riot and decided to use the man cannon and then I suffered a black screen. Waited and then I fell into oblivion and lost my well earned and deserved running riot.
I’ll never forget it.

this or the DNF that might come with the black screen / host quitting out in game
I got a black screen and never got out of it until the game ended- I was killed sooooo much.
This EXACT same thing happened to me, except I think I only got 45 kills, but yea it was annoying
