blackscreen, then loosing the game

Could someone explain to me whats going on when our team are in the leed by, lets say 480-340 and the screen goes black (can only see the scoretable) and when we get back we are down 650-480.

Is this common? has happen to me a couple of times now, tis very frustruating when it does!

Also, is it just me or does the killcount and deathcount go up by 1 after every game? lets say i check my stats with 10 secs left off the game and i have 18-7, i dont kill any1 and i dont get killed in the final seconds, still after the game it shows me having 19-8, anyone else?

Ingame commendations says 10% completed, waypoint says 11%, ok? (has been 1% ahead since i started playing)

My Reach stats has dissappeared, wtf?

My avatar has changed in here and i cant change it back?

Other then that, great game if they just fix the minor issues that is bugging the -Yoink- outta me!

Hasn’t happened to me, last time that happened to me was on Halo 3.

It’s happened to me and some friends a couple of times but we end up winning for some reason it’s the weirdest thing

I’m tempted to say that you’re getting cheated, which is sad in itself, because theres nothing to cheat for in H4. But, it’s more likely that you are just lagging in connection to the host, and the game is going on without you, before you come back in.

the other issues sound like problems with 343i’s stat collection.

Some might say that little things like this is nothing (except the blackscreen) but to me little things like this say alot about the people behind the game. I have stopped buying games in the past from gameproducers who made games with lots of minor errors, it doesnt belong in a AAA title, and it lowers the overall experience!

Now H4 hasnt been out long yet so im not saying that im going to stop buying 343i’s games, but if stuff like this is still around in a month or two, who knows, there might be another company on my blacklist.

i have had this a few times some times it works to your advantage some times it dosnt.

lets say ur on one team and it blackscreens and you end up back in the game if the other players take a while to connect to the new host it gives players who are already back in the game a chance to run around killing them to earn points, normally the people who end back up in the game first is the host and the people with the quickest connection to that host. But because the players who are still at blackscreen are still in the game and their spartan will just be there on the map standing still not doing anything, but for other players the game is still going on

its a bit of a one side advantage to whoever gets selected host.

i have actually used this time to win a dominion match before i got selected as host and managed to get back in the game i managed to kill 3 people and capture 2 bases before other people even joined.

so like i said its a bit one sided tbh they should introduce a count down timer which pauses the match until everybody is back in the match and let it start then, it will stop the “cheating” going on while people are still in blackscreen
