I’ve been watching a lot of both the MLG stream and the Machinima stream, and I’ve noticed there are tons of black screens. Why? Is it the Join-in-Progress? Is it just network difficulties that they’re trying to sort through before the game launches?
On the Machinima stream, they black screen probably once a game, maybe once every other game. They also just black screened in the middle of an MLG game, which makes no sense.
Lets be honest, how many time do you get black screen in Reach, Halo 3, and halo 2… Exactly…
MLG are playing on LAN, if the router dies during a LAN, the game will end.
But black screens will occur a lot more due to join in progress on Xbox LIVE.
That’s join in progress for you. Apparently the hosts have been quitting a lot unless that doesn’t even make a difference.

I knew this would happen, and I absolutely hate it. Will turning off JiP stop that, do you think?

Only sometimes when people quit. Not every time someone quits, but sometimes. It’s definitely not as frequent as what I’m seeing now.
its JIP, with people constantly joining and leaving the connection is all over the place.
