I just played a game of 1 Flag CTF on HangemHigh, and the enemy blue team used a hack to reduce our first offense round to 19 seconds instead of the 3 minutes we should have gotten. In my file share is the theater mode clip as proof, which shows from right before the 19 second round began, to right after the round ends.
I have already Filed a Tampering complaint against all four players. I don’t know which or if all 4 of them were responsible for the hack, but when I confronted one of them about it that was wearing a head-set, they gave an arrogant/snotty reply. I don’t know what else I can do about this, but as long as this Theater Clip goes to the right authorities, hopefully 343 can hammer down on this hack that some players seem to be getting away with. Help if you can.
(I can’t find the file share on waypoint- have they not installed it yet?)
Here is the game record on waypoint, where you can see which gamertags were on Blue Team: http://halo.xbox.com/en-US/Career/HaloReach/GameHistory#!/?game=1024195552§ion=Unknown
Filing a complaint against the other team was exactly the right thing to do. It’s also the only thing you can do, unfortunately.
I had a game yesterday on Breakneck, I think, where a 4 round 1 bomb match ended up with our team winning 3-0 ??
we begun offense, the second round just blacked out and our team had another offense, followed by defense and offense… weird…
just thought I’d post because seems related. Not sure if I saved the replay and would be off the temp history now…

If the black screen happened before the round officially ended and it repeated, then it most likely lag or host switching, which has been know to do strange things, including restarting rounds.

This has happened to me in Infection, the Host migrates and there are only 30 seconds left on the round timer. It’s still fishy though.
yeah my guess was lag too, cos we’ve skipped rounds before. just found it weird that we were able to score 3 points where normally you can only ever score 2 max
It can happen as a result of blackscreen due to host migration.
I’ve had games were I’ve managed to cap the enemy flag within a few seconds of the game starting as it spawned at my flag and my flag at the enemy base which was odd. Also being able to capture 6 territories in a round and some other random events such as getting to tier 3 in Invasion then getting a host migration and having to start back at tier 1.
It’s annoying yes but not cheating.

That’s not a hack. That is a host glitch that 343 has chose to ignore. If you look at it that time that remained would have been roughly the same time left over from the last round. I find it sad that a moderator even tried to cover it up as a hack when she should have known about this glitch too:

. It is rare, but a glitch all the same. 343 need to take responsibility for there own failures. I can see halo 4 succeeding… sarcasm
Ive had games in LD where round 2 or 3 went for under 50 secs, i just think online is messed up sometimes instead of a hack
Er, I very much doubt they were ‘hacking’. It’s not unusual on bad hosts/host migration to lose time in a match. Occasionally the Territories gametype has been known to glitch such that one team will not get the opportunity to play Offense, giving an automatic win to whoever played Offense in the first round. (Assuming at least 1 Territory was captured.)
