Hey, I was just wondering whether anyone else has experienced a rather odd glitch that I ran into earlier. I started a game of CTF on Ragnarok, only to run into a host selection problem that came up after everyone had spawned. A player on my team disconnected, a new host was chosen, and the game proceeded as planned, but with a small hiccup. Directly on top of my team’s Mantis (this was also true for the other team) was another Mantis. I was confused, and looked at the other vehicles near our base, only to find that the same thing had happened. Two Ghosts, two Mongeese, and two Warthogs, all stacked on top of each other.
I think this might be because of the blackscreen right after the game started, which caused the game to spawn everything again once a host had been chosen. Has anybody else run into this?
This happened to me, it was so funny. I got 28 bullets for a sniper and my 2 friends in the mantis were like “ohhh god i hope they dont get 2 mantises too…OH $#^% they got twp mantises!!!”
Happened to me on Exile the other day, oddly enough…My team managed to get one of the tanks because the red team was so confused they just left it there.
It scared me at first, because when I first spawned it was 13 vs. 1. The 1 being me. It changed back to normal after a few seconds, but still.
To be perfectly honest, if we had a massive map like Forge World from Reach without the barriers, I would definitely be okay with having a massive vehicle battle.
Enough vehicle variety for everyone to have one…banshees, warthogs (Maybe Gauss?) etc etc.
> Weapons and vehicles usually reset after blackscreen in Halo. Been that way for a long time now.
So it did cause everything to spawn over again? Thanks for clearing that up, and that also explains why the Rocket Launcher I picked up had 6 spare rockets.
ahaha that game sounds like it would have been entertaining! ive a game restart but with the same scores after host reselection and ive noticed your ordnance will ‘re-roll’ which has been helpful a few times :’)

Really? As someone who hasn’t gotten to the Specializations yet, that sounds really helpful.

This happens regularly to me, but to my benefit, not many people seem to realise.
You know, I wonder why this isn’t a Custom Games option.
Honestly, changing existing vehicles into one vehicle (or type of vehicle) is kinda limited. Why can’t we have vehicle spawn customization like in Halo PC?

yeah, if i get a rubbish choice and im not doing to good in a game and have no chance of another i’ll just keep a hold of it to see if the host quits and i get a better choice! i had a choice of sticky detonator, speed boost or frags and i never use them so i just left it and after a host change i got a choice of rockets, lazer or overshield so they came in handy :’)
