"Thus Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.'
At which point Poe just shot the damn thing."

I recently got back into doing Matchmaking on Halo 3. Quite frankly, im not impressed with the way Bungie's network-system-thingy seems handles people who have the misfortune to lag and/or have bad connection. Whenever i lag even a LITTLE, i have all these really annoying glitches. The worst and most recurring one is when i die randomly, for seemingly no reason. Whenever this happens (which seems to also happen sometimes after a player leaves a game, even when i don't appear to be lagging), i am unable to respawn, the game timer stops, and other players suffer the same glitch as me. This glitch has forced me to leave three games in about a 10-minute timespan today.
So, here's my question(s); Is this glitch a flaw within the Bungie/XBL system? If so, why haven't they taken note of it and more importantly, fixed it? If not, then what would the cause of this be?
(NOTE: I accidentally posted this first in the Bungie Universe forum...sorry. Please ignore that thread.)

No glitch, just bad host. Usually happens with people with new xbox's who have a bad connection

Thats what i was thinking at first, but different things happen on other games ive played when there's a bad host. Not to mention this has been happening every time ive gone onto matchmaking on H3 for the past couple months.

If it's something that's been happening to you for the last couple of months, it sounds like it's an issue with your connection. Could always contact your internet provider and see if there's something going on that they could fix.
