I can’t use any of my loadouts, my spartan has stock armour, and my card reads sr1. I’m still getting online experience, and my service tag says sr128… anybody else experiencing this? It’s really annoying not being able to use my load outs. Challenges are unavailable as if i’m on the backup hoppers, but I’m not.
In addition to this, If i sign in to another gamertag on my box, the rank and armour etc are correct… i’ve tried restarting etc.
This is just bad lag it happened in reach it’ll happen here, it fixes it self and as long as your Player Card says your actual level you should be fine.
thanks! a little reassurance goes a long way… just saw all these threads about the mass banning (seemingly for no reason), and I got worried
i don’t normally bump, but i tested some things, and now i’m even more worried…

Anyone else experiencing this? I also cannot get to the halo 4 stats app (I’ve tried it on my phone and on 4 different browsers on 2 computers, a Mac and a pc). It’s weird that other gt’s are fine on my console… I’ve even tried re downloading my gt
Happened on Reach, service record still fine, your fine!
Sounds to me as if you are in Fallback Hoppers.

> What you are seeing are “fallback hoppers”. When you enter this mode, you will see a UI notification. It shows up on the “Find Game” screen for War Games. In previous Halo titles, you’re dependent on the servers to get the information you needed for Matchmaking, and if they go down, you can’t play. Fallback hoppers are a new functionality for Halo 4, and they allow people to continue playing Halo 4 when there are server issues.

When in this mode, it’s a good idea to relaunch the game on a regular basis, so you can reenter the regular hoppers as soon as they’re available.
That’s what I thought at first, but I’m still playing in the online hoppers (I’ve been in the fallback hoppers before, and the playlists are different). I guess only time will tell… I just think it’s strange that it’s only my GT… I’ll try it on a mates Xbox this Arvo. Anyway, thanks for your help, I was just hoping that maybe someone else is having/has had the issue, so I know what to do!
if i go to https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/players/mrruss3ll/career
it says i haven’t played halo 4 yet… and the classified section says i haven’t unlocked raider or oni etc, but i have.
It’s ridiculous that the first page of these forums is taken up by people complaining about various things that they think 343 should have done differently, when people who genuinely need help from 343 have questions like mine that are overlooked. I absolutely love this game, and i want to play it, but i can’t play anything but swat or flood and have a fair chance at the moment. Please 343, I beg you, someone help me out!
So hows everything now?
When i looked you up it seemed normal…
EDIT, now i see this, says you have not played it? WTF?
On HW career it shows you normally but on the specific H4 tab it says player has not played…
Thought i’d bump this as it seems something that needs abit attnetion, instead if being lost in a sea of haters.
it’s still not working thanks for helping out!
I had this problem. The hopper problem that is. I tried everything, but my level didn’t show up until I deleted and reinstalled the 30mb update. Probably a coincidence but might be worth trying.
I’ll give that a go when I’m home, but I have a feeling it won’t work… fingers crossed.
Good luck mate!
Nope, didn’t work…
There are a couple of others that are having the same issue now. 343 entered the conversation, telling us that we were in backup hoppers, then, since people said they weren’t, they haven’t replied. Here’s to hoping it’s fixed soon! Thanks again for all your help guys.
If you’re interested, heres the thread (page that 343 asks about the problem).
