A WTF Moment

Ahahahahaha. Bungie fails again.
They probably got sick of being cheap and lazy so they left.

 

That happens alot in Grifball.

 

I've never witnessed it but I can guess how it would happen.

If all 4 red spawn points where covered(someone standing on them) then you have no where to spawn(because red team cannot spawn on a blue spawn point) so the game spawns you at a random default invisible spawn location around Forgeworld.

Lay of Bungie jeez not there fault Grifball only has 4 spawns points per team.

 

That's my guess too. To be on the safe side Grifball maps should probably have a couple extra spawn points per side, but I don't think most of them do.

By the way, your team there is collectively TERRIBLE at Grifball. Charge, smash!

 

I've never seen this happen. Maybe the game decided you didn't deserve to play.

I wouldn't blame bungie. I think it was just a fluke. I remember I boosted a wraith on hemorrhage, hit a bump, and flew WAY out of the map, behind that one large wall at the back. It was a complete accident, just the right set of circumstances to make it happen.... but I didn't go looking for blood from a gaming company. It just happens dude

 

So you encountered a glitch that happens once every 1000 games. And it was in grifball where it doesn't even matter. Big deal. Just accept the fact that grifball sucks.

 

O RLY? Cause it sure looked to me like you and at least two of your teammates died simultaneously in that video. At the 11 second mark there's a giant cluster**** of hammer-smashing and shields lighting up, and at least three red corpses go flying. It appears that most of you died at almost the same instant and only one of you lived. If several of you die simultaneously, then you all have to spawn simultaneously as well, and that eats up a lot of spawn points. And if any others are blocked by having a person standing on them or an object blocking them, then this can happen. It can also be affected by lag, because the game may not understand that a spawn point is available and thinks someone is still there who really isn't. Either way, more respawn points for each team will usually prevent this from happening. And also, this won't happen often, so... it's no big deal. I'm sure 99% of the people playing Grifball have never experienced this, and the remaining 1% might run into it once or twice, ever.

 

I have the Gravity Hammer as my overall tool of destruction because i play so many Grifball yet i have never expereineced this. How odd.

 

I guess the game just doesn't like you than. We offered possible reasons this could have happened, you shot them all down. I guess it just happens sometimes.

 

1. I've never played that map so I'm taking your semi-incoherent word for it.
2. If several players spawn at the exact same moment, then they are at least briefly going to be occupying the spawn points when you are trying to spawn, whether they are in the air or not.
3. When you get a little older and wiser, you'll stop aiming your sputtering rage at game developers and people on forums trying to help you out, and realize that spawning exactly one time outside of a map is probably not worth elevating your blood pressure about. If it happens every time you play that map - or hell, if it ever happens even once more - then post on the official Reach forum about it. Nicely, in a "trying to help" way. If you were just hoping people here would get into a sympathetic frenzy with you over one weird glitch, mission not accomplished.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

litereally, I laughed out loud. SO much so that I didn't use the acronym.

 

It is not Bungies' fault that you spawned outside of the map, Bungie is not obligated to fix community maps that should not even have problems.

No one can give a logical reason? A logical reason for what? Several people have given reasons as to why you spawned out of the map.

 

...exactly.

We tried, you're just not listening. You got mad and insulted people for no clear reason.

You're wearing me out.

Tell you what - put a clip of this from theater in your fileshare, and I'll download it and try to see what happened, OK?

 

elitebiker18, you need to calm down, my friend. People have given you reason as to why this problem would occur, but you didnt seem to catch onto it and instead took it for a troll attempt. Ok, Im not trying to troll you now, but you obviously dont understand how the spawning system works, and thats ok, because not everyone does. There would be a number of reasons why you spawned in one of the pre-designated invisible spawns outside of the map, many of which I could not be bothered explaining right now.

But the main point, which Reign explained previously, is that this is a community map. Bungie are not responsible for its creation, hence, they cannot control what happens in the map. Sure, they would have tested it thoroughly before they added it to MM, but even some big, glaring crimes against gaming can get through even the most diligent of testers. Clearly this is the first time its happened to you, as we've heard nothing about this prior to your thread, so it doesnt seem to be a recurring thing. If it happened every single time you played, then sure, thats something to complain about. It would have been more appropriate to post the video, ask if this has happened to anyone else, and not accuse Bungie of releasing an inferior product. Sure, its not perfect, but nothing is.

Just relax and play some more Halo, it hasnt let you down before.

 

Well, the bungie thread maker obviously know nothing because he called jetpacks jump packs.... Jkjk.

On a more serious note, the thread could be renamed to "why jetpack grifball should have more spawn points" because if that glitch is the only problem with the game then it should be fixed, not scrapped
