We will be providing regular updates across all our channels, so stay tuned to the following places for the latest information:

3PM Update

We are narrowing down possible solutions. While we continue to investigate, we are aware of issues impacting the following server-side functions:

• Spartan Rank (typically drops to 1)
• Spartan Ops
• File Share
• Service Record
• Commendations
• Challenges
• Custom Loadouts
• Armor Unlocks

Once you are able to connect to the server again, you will need to recreate your custom loadouts but your armor and SR should return to their normal state. We apologize for the inconvenience, and many thanks for your continued patience.

6PM Update

We’ve seen improvement and are still closely monitoring the situation. We’ll provide another update this evening. Thank you for your patience.
