I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong.

That’s what I am trying to determine here. I am looking to figure out what is wrong to estimate cost.

I don’t seem to be the only one with this issue, there is lots of noise about this, I am trying to see if I can’t figure it out without purchasing a new box, and maybe provide a fix.

i want to thank all of you for giving some sage advice and not the usual ...."you suck" answers that run amuck on these forums .... but mostly a big thank you, to strunky for posing the question in such a manner that the obi-wons have given us their sage
advice ....

ps. i am changing to a different setting on my controller asap

Also are you playing with friends that are much much more experienced than you? Halo 4 has a hidden trueskill system and if you are playing with friends that are much better than you then it might be matching you with harder enemies than you would normally
run into. Or are you not playing with friends at all. I would recommend playing with friends for sure. And yes try different specializations out. I love to drive the warthog around and let my gunner kill people. So the "Wheelman" specialization was perfect
for me. Might be best for you too. I seem to do better in Big Team Slayer than I do in team slayer. Just try different things. We all have our good and bad games. Sometimes I do very well other times I do terrible. haha Just focus the most on having fun.
You dont have to be at the top of the killing list.

Oops I have a typo. The specialization is not called wheelman its called "Operator".

The only thing I can think of is a somewhat 'rookie' piece of advice. Try out different specializations and find the one that suits your playstyle the most. Other than that, it sounds like you should be doing fine if what you're saying about sticking with
team mates is true. In Halo it is very true that there is strength in numbers.

Each account can only have 1 console set as their Home at a time, but multiple accounts can have a single console as their Home. They don't both have to set it as their Home though. As long as A has the console set as Home, B should be able to access games from A. Double check that A does have the console set as Home and then do a hard reset (turn off the console by holding down the power button, wait a minute, turn it back on), then try playing on B again.
