Subject: So I just played a game of Flood on Halo 4...

I am the Thorian, known as Species 37 to you people. I am an ancient sentient plant that is fifty thousand years old. My ability to hibernate for thousands of years makes my real age impossible to guess though you are welcome to try.

And not only did it not register another player as a survivor (the motion tracker had him as an enemy) but he also spawned with a DMR... which then turned into a shotgun in the next round.

I can't think of an explanation for this, can you?

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

It's called lag

Flood has been having a lot of problems lately. I was playing a match of flood, and this guy joined and he spawned with a assault rifle, and got 10 kills.

It's a bug that's happening to everyone

343 probably isn't fixing it anytime soon

It hasn't happened to me (obviously). So is it just standard loadout weapons you can randomly spawn with or can you spawn with ordnance weapons as well?

I have a feeling it has to do with join in progress. Another reason to remove it.

I killed someone like that, counted as a betrayal, and I was booted. I literally flipped tables.

I spawned with an assault rifle once and killed everyone and everything.

I won that game pretty hard and wasn't even kicked.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Was it a Join in Progress game? If so, it was probably due to lag or something.
Here is how to avoid Join in Progress.
