This is the official host migration bug list. If there was a host migration in game and you saw something CRAZY afterwards, report that here.

You can tell you've done a migration if you go to black screen, come back and there's the game type nameplate that appears again. This can happen normally in round based games like 1 flag CTF. That's not a migration. It's a round switch.

Post about your crazy bugs! Example from this thread

(JonnyOThan actually witnessed this one firsthand as well)

We were playing stockpile. The host migrated after a player quit, and the stockpile flags all instantly scored. We still had about 30 seconds left on the flag scoring timer before the migration. This caused us to lose (or at least, lose more horribly than we would've. Jon is way too good.)

I haven't really had anything OVERLY crazy happen, but i could go back in a few hours to see if i could render the film

About 3 times i've gone 'black screen' for host migration while everyone else in the game seemed to transfer without a hiccup. After the migration, my AA selection would be reset to default, and most of the time i would be coming out of the 'black screen' to a respawn timer [someone killed me while i couldn't move.]

I saw the same thing. Went to black screen during Stockpile and all flags scored when we came out.

Dude... If all the flags were scored after you game out of the Black
Screen.. Then Most likely people are leg switching.... Same crap Happens allot
in modern warfare 2... So someone was Either moding hacking or Lag switching
I hate when people take Good Games and Ruin them with all there
Moding hacking and Lag switching... Makes me mad

I find it a bit weird when the game begins again, that the first kill announcement and such happens again.

Alien slavers or fanatical religious aliens, they all bleed in bright colors. Like a box of 64 color crayons when you hit it with a flame-thrower. - Tozt anyone?

Now show us where the bad man touched you when the screen went black.

People lag switching in a BETA of all things? I find that hard to believe.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

I lost my AA after blackscreening on Powerhouse today.

30 seconds after the start of a slayer match, we went into host migration and the game started over(as in, we all respawned at the beginning spawn). We were not able to choose our loadouts and were all given the Scout class.

Make that Four. But the thing that actually sucks, is that i found a code underneath the weekly update, but when i tried to enter it in my xbox someone had beat me to the punch cuz it said code has already been redeemed.

I was born in '90, male, and an avid gamer.

Here's a funny host migration glitch I saw on YouTube yesterday:

Basically, the player throws a plasma nade, the game black screens, and when it returns, the nade won't detonate.

-blam!-, their leg switching now? must be some new Reach glitch!
Seriously though, there are a lot of people lag switching out there. They can move, but you can't.

They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools! — they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace

The search bar is like a BR.

Anyone can use it effectively if they try.
Smart people do use it effectively.
Idiots don't, then complain about how it doesn't work.
The BR isn't used in ODST, the search bar isn't used in the ODST forum.

I got a first strike after host migration.

Does your killstreak continue after you go black screen?
