So since the SWAT playlist opened up I have put in a few matches. I noticed a few problems with Halo 2 specifically.
The most major one is this glitch where after dying and waiting to respawn, you actually get stuck at 4 seconds. I see this in almost every Halo 2 game I play and it something that is seriously negatively affecting the experience. By using the back button, I can actually see that it happens to others at the same time as well. I have seen periods of time (20 seconds) where all of my team is dead and waiting to respawn.
On a related note, I believe there is some bad lag affecting H2 and while not as terrible as the previous glitch, it does cause some problems. I am talking about players warping and respawning multiple times when you should respawn only once.
If anyone else has noticed this please leave a comment.
As I was typing this I was actually in a Halo 4 game where I saw something new to this playlist. After voting for pitfall, the map started to load but then it just cut straight to the announcer saying game over and the match was tied.
