I go into infection, the maps: cage, asylum, or powerhouse gets picked and load the right way. ALL of the good maps like sword base, and boardwalk get picked by 10 people and bang, load failure. I know its people intentionally lagging the game because it only happens on certain maps. I’m getting pissed now cause sword base always fails to load and now I’m stuck with the cage all the freaking time. has anyone been noticing this?
I don’t play Living Dead very often, but when I do I wish that would happen to me. Sword Base gets picked like 90% of the time for me, I hate it. It’s just full of people camping the vent, it’s limited. I’d gladly play any other map besides Sword Base, you’re lucky.
Could be something with your disc though if it happens so often.
Lol, this is not caused by intentional lag. Somebody has a problematic disc, or a scratch, or needs to reinstall their map packs.

It’s very easily forced, if someone has Reach installed to a USB of a certain size, they can simply unplug it and will cause a load failure on the current map and will continue until they plug it back in, although after 3 they get kicked.
It’s not about lag, it’s either scratched disc or USB trick.
Well I thought it was a lag switch, but obviously that’s not the case. I bet its the USB trick though…

I bloody knew it! And there people were in my thread, telling me that that trick only works for DLC maps…
The best fix for this, in my opinion, would simply be to distribute week-long Matchmaking bans to players that experience frequent load failures in votes; more than two or three failures a day should suffice. If a week-long ban is too extreme, then a “Failure Probation” can instead be used; if a player on Failure Probation triggers a Load Failure in Matchmaking, then they are immediately kicked from the match and the voted-for map and game variants continue to load uninterrupted.
I got booted two games in a row when I played SWAT recently so I don’t buy people are intentionally lagging out.
Maybe there’s something wrong with the matchmaking servers or mechanisms.

That is a separate issue unrelated to Load Failure.

Care to enlighten me?
I’m not going back into matchmaking for the time being because of it.
At the found all players stage (grey x8) when I was kicked and I assumed the matches were disbanded but when I checked Bungie.net the game was on my profile with DNF. Didn’t appear to be load failures.
I am using the downloaded version of Reach FYI.

I think you might have actually gotten hack booted, in other words you were kicked from the game by a cheater using aimbot.

I’m unsure how an Aimbot can “boot” people out of games
Aimbots are simply a well known cheat in where a person needs not to aim. They usually don’t modify or alter how a game works outside of the client, but hey I’m an old fool so I could be wrong.
Don’t play Infection. That’s your first fix. 
The second, that’s been explained already it seems.

Didn’t know about the USB trick…Could be useful in SWAT when n00bs choose Uncaged. xD

There is so much wrong in this post, lol.
listen guys I downloaded the the game to my hard drive and some times I have to restart the game cause it won’t load any maps so I always check in custom games to make sureIi can load maps before I jump into MM and i’v talked to other people who have had the same problem so I would imagine that is the problem.
