> Lol I think I’ve heard it all now. Hacks to turn off controllers? And how exactly would they manage to get said hack on your console? Thats right they cant. Dont be so dense.

I’ve heard Halo 4 has a lot of hackers. Either way, it IS possible, because it has to do with interrupting the signal between the Xbox and the controller. If you have a cord, try using that. There are a lot of other ways, but you can never rule out the fact it could be hackers.
Perhaps it’s also just an issue with H4, although it has never happened to me
Dude catch a grip, they CAN NOT send a hack down Xbox live to your console. To interfere with the wifi would mean accessing the wifi on YOUR box and that is simply not possible remotely. Its a broken controller or battery pack. Jesus some people will beleive anything.
My controller is fine and batteries are not so old. I have never had this happen to me before with any other games. Other people on this thread have had a similar experience as I have. Anything is possible, especially with technology. To rule out something such as hacking would make you dense. Unless it is proven impossible I suspect someone hacked me or something is wrong with the game.

It is physically impossible for someone to hack your console remotely on LIVE. You can not download anything to the console through LIVE that MS has not approved for usage on the LIVE network.
Its the controller, I know for a fact it is. My mate has the same thing with his pad on CoD with vibration on. Vibrations makes the pack lose contact with the batteries and stutdown. Claiming your console has been hacked remotely and someone is turning off your controller is frankly nonsense.
And anyone believing him or agreeing its hackers doesnt know a damn thing about coding, networking or hacking in any way shape or form.
Same thing just happened to me. Whenever I press the right trigger my controller automatically shuts off only in halo 4 and only in multiplayer. My other controller works fine however except it’s old and clicking the left stick doesn’t register. This is the strangest thing ever and there is nothing wrong with my battery pack.
I’m thinking I should try and get one of those play and charge kits because if the controller is physically plugged in there is no way it could randomly turn off like that right?
no really check the vibration. sometimes when controllers get old the battery pack becomes lose and vibrations shake it loose and the controller shuts off. turn off vibrations and see if it shuts off. if it doesnt test it again by shaking the controller yourself.
I actually thought I was the only one with this issue. I thought it was my controller at first but I noticed, it only happens in MP. It’s gotten me killed so many times. I’ve blamed it on my batteries but after running out to the store and buying a new pack, it happened again.
I was also playing Raging Blast 2 the other day and I went for hours and hours and it never happened to me.
If folks are getting it regular, you could try cycling the wifi channel in case of interference. Just re-sync the pad with the 360 console using the wifi connect button on the controller and the 360 console. That will cycle the signal to a different frequency, and hopefully eliminate any crossovers from other wifi devices in the area.
Also consider using a charge pack in place of batteries. The contact plates are a tighter fit than the springs for batteries. That means much less chance of any funkyness from bad contacts.
my controller worked fine till two days ago. it only happens for mp or so non online gameplay works fine. also when i shoot i do a 180 then disconnect. i just beat tomb raider and bioshock infinite this week and had no problems online or off. i think its a patch issue, but since you cant contact 343i, i have no clue.

I have the exact same problem with my controller that uses batteries, except it’s when it hits about half charge that it starts playing up. Whenever I play offline, or single player games or modes (campaign or Skyrim for example) the controller is fine until it runs out of juice. Never dies randomly until the battery is almost dead. As soon as I go online and the battery level has reached around 50%, that is when it dies randomly over and over. It’s only when I play online modes like multiplayer though, the controller could die every minute or so, I come out of multiplayer and start campaign and it’s fine. I’ve just stopped using battery controllers, you are better off with wired controllers.
My only theory on why it happens is to do with how you clench your controller. When you play online, against other players, you likely clench your controller and causes it to shake a bit, which could be causing the battery to die. This doesn’t happen as often when playing offline as you are not under as much stress which is what causes the clenching in the first place. That’s my only theory and to be honest it’s not a perfect theory but it could explain why you may be having issues with your controller. I’d try switching to a wired controller, if the problem persists then you can rule out the batteries as the problem and can start looking at the Xbox itself or the game, but it seems to most likely be the batteries. Hope this helps.
