"New Player" Glitch

Placeholder Overview
This glitch occours when, at any time during a single player match of any type, a new player locally logs in and initiates split screen. If this new player has an Elite archetype selected and the game mode permits its use, than this glitch will activate

Effects
This glitch causes an interesting cosmetic effect. To anyone else viewing, your character appears to be a completely default spartan, but in first person the character's arms and legs appear to be that of a minor elite without the armor on the hands. There do not seem to be any adverse effects on gameplay.

Causes
The only cause is to sign in to a game already in session.

Fixes/Prevention
The only way to fix this glitch is to die or respawn, and there is no way to prevent this from happening.
