Voices of war announcers causes games to not load

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Whenever I use any of the announcers for the Voices of War and I join in progress a game or start up a new one in both regular warzone and warzone firefight there is a 10% chance I won’t load into the game probably and will just have a black screen. I waited up to 9 minutes of black screen before I lost my patience once time and used the xbox dashboard to restart Halo 5. Only when I switch back to Sarah Palmer can I play the game probably.
I heavily suspect that it has something to do with the announcer sequence when you join a game where you get a, into and it tells you your reqs, and it doesn’t properly load the sound sequence and because of that your screen doesn’t load. One has to happen before the other.
I suspect this is just a more severe version of the no req energy bug, but magnified with the new announcers.

I am 100% sure the problem stems with the announcers and I ask 343 to address this and no ignore me, when I made a small post about it and that’s why I took action to finally make a thread.

I play from Melbourne, Australia and used ‘balanced’ for firefight, and for regular warzone I use ‘expand’ and must leave the lobby into the ‘warzone mode’ and re-queue after each time, otherwise even after I finish a game in expanded it will say not enough players in this playlist even though I’m in the same lobby.

Yes, this is real. If I use a “Voices of War” announcer, ~10-30% of Warzone games won’t load (black loading screen indefinitely). Since I saw a post about this issue, I stopped using the new announcers and the issue has gone away. I’d like confirmation that this is being fixed or my $10 back for this faulty product.

(I also experience the “no Req energy” bug mentioned by OP when joining in progress, probably 60-80% of JiP games)

343 said they were looking into this, via a response on the forum, but have no had an update on any progress. I switched back to palmer, and that solved the game loading issue.
