Potential Hackers Encounter?

Games Other Halo

Felt like playing some Rumble Pit, so I joined a match with these five guys, all wearing pink armor (first thought, Halo LGBT movement? lol?).

The game loaded, the game screen loaded, the respawn timer hit 0, except I didn’t spawn, the scoreboard was active, and everyone had the loading circle beside their name.

Eventually, another guy joined in, his scoreboard colors continuously changed, and eventually the scoreboard started showing the other players getting kills, except me, I didn’t even spawn at all, and this went on for like 2 minutes, so I quit.

I uploaded the video to my file share, here is the link:

I urge you to watch the video, and try to explain to me wtf was going on.

Also, Xbox LIVE doesn’t allow me to put the word “hack” into my file description? wut?

I dunno where to post a topic about this, I didn’t file a complaint to the players because I figured this could somehow be a problem on my end.

It could just be extremely bad lag between you and the host.

Unless it was a clan battle and some genius thought it was a good idea to mod the game so that those 5 could be the only ones playing because they get enough people in their clan…

I find that highly unlikely, I’ve never had lag severe enough to stop me from spawning.

They were from the US, I’ve played against Americans a bunch of times and this has never happened, why am I the only person who doesn’t spawn, yet everyone else does and it tells me on the scoreboard?

This just doesn’t seem like lag imo
