    What am I doing wrong?


    When playing the Events on the Solitaire there have been times when my time jump to hours, even it has only been a couple of minutes of actual play. What am I doing that causes this? Or is it my computer?

    :)

    Thanks for all the advice folks. I'll do my best to apply it to what I already know. Hopfully, I'll feel like I'm improving soon.

    What Am I Doing Wrong

    I've been having the same experience Strunky. The first couple of weeks, I was doing awesome. I felt really good playing, I felt like I was actually going to be above average at Halo 4. That's all gone to hell in the last week or 2. Partly due to the fact
    that I can only play once or twice a week right now for a couple hours at a time, so my experience isn't very high. But I seem to be noticing a lot that when I'm winning a firefight, somehow something goes terribly wrong. Sometimes it's purely based on my
    skill and the fact that I just couldn't get that last headshot. But other times, I don't even know what happens. I've had quite a few instances where I take a step out of spawn and seemingly spontaneously explode. The killcams don't help much because they're
    broken and aren't included in every mode.

    ~

    I also prefer to be the driver of vehicles, and the whole being able to spawn with the noob combo certainly hasn't helped me with that. But that's a question of balance. Idk. I guess I just need more time with the game, but lately, it hasn't been going well
    for me. If I search solo, my team mates usually have no idea what the word "teamwork" means.

    There is a well known bug in Solitaire that once you start playing, the timer keeps running BETWEEN games, even if you

    • exit from / close Solitaire
    • Log off of Windows
    • Even shut down your system!

    I personally reported this bug months ago, along with many other users. We can only take the fact that Microsoft has not bothered to fix it as an indication of how much they care about the satisfaction of their loyal customers.

    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.

    What am i doing wrong??!!

    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.
