Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection

Hey all… seem to be having problems with a bug. I’ve not experienced or seen this one reported before, and it just came out of nowhere.

Thought I’d hop on tonight and to my amazement I found some games, and quickly which I was happy about… In all of them, 8/10 times I was killed, my respawn counter would hang at ‘Respawn in 4’ for 30 - 60 seconds. This happened across 6 consecutive games.

After the first game it happend, I did a hard-reset of the X1 to no avail. I had not betrayed anyone (though if I had, the respawn would’ve just been a higher count, not paused).

  • I was not host for any of these games. If it was a host-side issue, it should affect all players? There were completely different players in every match.- Playlist was Halo 2 Classic, matches were Midship BR’s x 2, Ascension BR’s, Foundation TS, Ivory TS, Colossus TS.- No other members of the game had any issues with spawn times.- If I committed suicide or ‘fall to my death’, the respawn timer would count down o.k. I only noticed the hang/massive delay when being killed.- The game engine does not freeze whatso-ever, it carries on running at a perfect framerate and the game UI is perfectly interactive, I just can’t respawn…One of the matches on Ascension turned into a 2v2 due to a few players lagging out in pre-game. The game starts, I make a quick start and get us to 2-0, then go down. Score is now 2-1. I fail to respawn for an absolute age, my poor team mate get’s dominated a few times in the mean time, other team get both snipers, OS and rockets and have control of map. My team mate dies a few more times. I finally respawn, get mutilated due to their map control, and then the same thing happens… Rinse and repeat a few times, and then my team mate gives up and leaves (don’t blame him). For the rest of the game (2v1) it happened consistently. Restarted the Xbox again, got another game off host and sure enough… first death, hung respawn… What gives?

Excuse the iPhone videos, didn’t have cap card connected. Tried to use Xbox Video recorder and the audio was 5 seconds out of sync and the video saved at about 15FPS, so I just went with the Potato-Cam iPhone…

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hmm… left it for 7 hours, start up a TS game, still happening… Any ideas?

Hey mate,

I also had this issue.
I was playing split screen with a mate on line, it seems to only happen on the Halo 2 maps (only happened in one game)

After it happened I changed playlists and it did not happen again.

Considering its a ‘hand’ on 4 seconds to re spawn, I would put it down to latency.

I have the same problem. This -Yoink- doesn´t happen in the original halo 2 (xbox) so a think it´s because this -Yoink- it´s a PC port .
