Has anyone else had the problem of, or can anyone offer assistance to the problem of the zoom function (seemingly randomly) stopping working.

It's happened a few times now. I've been playng multiplayer when the zoom (Z and middle mouse button) function stops working on all weapons with this feature. I've tried exiting the current server and joining a new one, but the only way to start it working again is closing and re-opening the game.

Can anyone offer any help?

Thanks,
M2-Bradley

that sounds really odd. try changing around your halo prefs, and make zoom, say, Q, and make flashlight Z.
then, if your flashlight randomly doesn't work, you know it's a problem with your Z key, which means a problem with your keyboard.

It can't be an issue with the key itself, because the scroll wheel on the mouse ,which also zooms, stops working at the same time as Z does.

hm.... you could try reinstalling your keyboard/mouse drivers and halo, one at a time.
