Hi guys,
I wanted to make this post to bring more attention to this issue because it’s really affecting the quality of my experiences in Halo 5. I very much care about my rankings and am already in the wrong tier in several playlists. My FFA ranking is proof of that (I’m Plat in Slayer, like what?). What sucks is that when I put the time in to grind back to diamond/onyx, I have a game occasionally where I get a black screen and then the no spawn glitch. This is completely out of my control and leads to dropping almost a whole, if not one full, level in a tier. My connection is 300mbps and the router is right next to my Xbox, so it’s nothing to do with my connection. The fairest thing to do is to make so you can’t derank because of this issue. This is 343i’s fault and it really needs to be addressed ASAP. I’m sick and tired of playing platinum level slayer when I should be playing in the diamond and onyx tiers, and lagging out like this completely ruins the grind.
