I havent seen anything about this but I just stumbled upon it so I figured I would see if anyone else has.
So i created a new loadout and then searched for a flood match and was put into a match that had already started. It started me off as a flood but instead of have the flood sword and what not it spawned me with the loadout that I had just created before the match. Needless to say people werent happy about me running around as a flood with an AR and Magnum.
At first I thought it was a new flood mode but quickly learned otherwise when people started yelling at me and calling me a hacker.
Happens sometimes, it’s lag. If you kill humans, they respawn as flood and you get points, if you kill flood you get points, and if you die you just respawn as a human with whatever loadout you already had.
Whoa, that’s really weird. You say you actually created a loadout for AR/Magnum?
Jokes aside, it’s probably just lag. Happened in Reach a couple times to me.
