Black screen o death 4 times in one match

I seriously doubt 343industries is throwing an "F YOU" at you if you're playing on Halo 4. Like Mr. Papyrus above said, it may just be your game/console/network. Is you disc damaged? How old is your console? Have you checked your network? Maybe those. I can't guaruntee those are the problems but it shouldn't hurt to check on them.

It is likely a backhanded f-you from 343/Microsoft. It's no surprise or hidden fact, that the 360 has trouble with the new version of Live that went through. Not that it was ever really good considering the whole Azure/Cloud push, but in all honesty you can't expect anyone there to care or put real resources into the ancient hardware and software governing your Live experience on Xbox 360.

 

My best advice to you is to either invest in the new gen Xbox or make the switch to PC or Playstation. In all honesty there is absolutely nothing that Microsoft has besides Halo to keep people buying their crap. They have beyond the worst customer support, there Live Network is a bigger cluster f than an episode of Hoarders, and their library of 1st party games is almost non existent.

 

Fact is, Playstation and Steam/PC General do it better and always have. Playstation may not have had the flair or features of Live, but at least the online experience has always been reliable with the least latency.

Weren't there huge server issues, privacy breaches and hacker attacks not much more than a year ago?

Miceosoft has the same issues, it just isnt publicized besides hotmail email adresses and Miceosoft account information. But the general public is far too stupid to put 1+1 together to realize that ALL Live accounts are directly linked to email accounts.

 

I didnt say the security was the best, but at least Sony admits what goes on, in comparison to MS whom always stay tight lipped and denies everything.

 

By contrast, Sony has a much more stable network base than Microsoft, regardless of what it publically published or talked about. If you want to split hairs on the matter, Live can easily be taken down but the desire and effect is not as big as it is for Sony...who still dominates the Video Game market 3:1

In regards to Halo 4, it won't benefit much hardware.  Xbox One utilizes emulation to make 360 game compiled engines and code, run with the new hardware.  Because it has to be emulated, the specs and abilities are equal to the original platform.  Similar to PC emulators for PS2 and Xbox original, regardless of how powerfull your PC is, the emulator still runs things pretty much equal to the original console.  The only real benefit is memory management and CPU priority.

 

Suffice to say that the only way to see a real improvement in Halo 4 itself, would be to take the source for it, and have it recompiled and tweaked for the new gen platform.
