Everything I earned is gone?!

I just put on Halo 4, to do some Spartan Ops, and I was asked to download an update to Halo 4 - so I did it and it appears I lost everything!

After this upgrade, I was back to being a Spartan-1, when I was at Spartan-64 - I lost all the armor and gear I earned, my customization, and whatever achievements I had.

What the frag is 343 doing ?!

Servers are down. Some sort of cyber attack on Microsoft. A bunch of games are messed up right now. I’m sure your skill reset s temporary.

Servers are down, wait a day or two and everything should be back to the way it was.

> Some sort of cyber attack on Microsoft.

Really?

It just got to my thick head that the servers are down. God, I am hoping that is it - that my stats are on the servers and this update didn’t kill my profile - better to feel like a “user” than to lose my “stuff”.

It’s probably Halsey.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Cyber-attack - another hack job.

Geez - I don’t mind them hitting the banks and corporations but leave the gamers alone. Aren’t these guys supposed to be one of us, anyway?

Yeah i’m sure you weren’t the only one who thought the same.So you can breath a sigh of relief that it was nothing on your end.Though i wouldn’t be surprised if some people are put back to SR1 because of loss of data.Would not be impossible to happen.So i expect after servers are fixed to see threads raging about it.Though i am probably wrong that haha.
