In the middle of a game it just stops and shows the scoreboard and just says loading or selecting new host. When ever that happens, I ALWAYS get killed. I can count over 30 deaths today just because of this. It happens nearly every match, and it’s not my connection. Hit registration is questionable sometimes also.
This actually happens to me a couple times a week. Not sure why it happens either, but I do get a little frustrated when it happens.
It’s has nothing to do with your connection. Halo uses a Player to Player networking system for god knows why, meaning that if the host leaves, everyone gets a time out, sprees reset, timers get screwed up, along with the fact that the host may have an advantage over everyone else.
I hate when that happens. It takes anywhere from 2-5 minutes maybe even longer to start the match again when that happens.
This sounds more like a connection problem than host problem. In reach’s time, I used to have interenet that would give me under 1mb in download speed, and I went black screen left and right when the game is still going.
Now that I have a new provider, 5 months before halo 4 came out, I was pulling host in reach left and right. Nobody, not even the other team complained about host.
If you need to know what speed your running off of, I suggest you go to getmyspeed.com
You know what happened to me? The game restarted itself making the score 0-0 again, when we were about 5 minutes into the game.
Yeah there is something going on here since I also getting killed by freakin dmr players and other long range players since I keep getting kill in 2-3 shots and they weren’t sniper shot. Also keep getting hit in the head a lot even I move randomly and replaying the video, I saw the aiming weren’t even align at me, just following behind like I move right and the opposing team aiming was 2 inch away from me but still able to hit me and I try that same way but didn’t hit the other player.
I’m not a big fan of ordnance, but it’s still irritating when you earn a decent ordnance & right then it goes black screen (scoreboard), when the game starts back up your selection changes to crap.
Ridiculous you say? My opinion is that Halo 4 is a beta test for Halo 5.

Yeah, I have that exact same problem. Suspiciously every time I get an Incineration Cannon.
One solution: cheaters/laggers/desync buster
Agreed.
This game’s match making needs to be fixed. I have a very high speed connection at all times, yet I still see a black screen every game.
Me and my friends quit playing Halo 4 online and stop buying maps until this issue is fixed.
Match-making in halo 4 is as bad as Halo 2.
By the way, we still LAN this game and its great.
You guys really seem to be getting bad luck with this stuff… Personally, I almost never get a black screen or lag of any kind in this game, it’s odd…
XBConnect is the best thing ever, if you ask me. 
But as Matchmaking is concerned, those black screens were present in Halo 3 and Reach also.
