Hey guys, I'm new and if you don't mind could you guys help me out? I've been playing halo for a while now but I'm new to halo live. I've tried playing on live but I never get anyone to play with. I'm guessing cause I'm rank 1 but I don't know. Could you guys help me out and tell what I need to do to get going on halo live? Thanks

Aww muffin. Well, you could put your gamertag up in the Classifieds and see if anyone wants to team up with you. I don't usually play with people, but a lot of gamers are looking for teammates. Did you get done with the campaign?

Simply go into matchmaking. You can do this by selecting 'Quick Match' or 'Optimatch'. Quick Match will randomly choose one play list for you to play, while Optimatch will let you choose which game type you wish to play. This is one one two ways to get into a game. If you cannot find a match this way, wait a few minutes, sometimes it takes a bit to find a match.

Do you mean Halo 2 on Xbox Live or Halo CE on Xbox connect?

I have tried the matchmaking thing but I never get anyone. I literally sit there for hours and never get anyone. Oh yes, I have beat the campaign. I've beat it on heroic and working on legendary. Oh, and I'm referring to halo2, sorry about that

I had the same problem. I know you're a newb so technical stuff may fly over your head, but your network might be blocking you from being teamed up. Make sure ports 3074 UDP and TCP along with port 88 UDP are open in your router. If you need help with that you may want to do some googling about port forwarding and router firewalls. Hard to explain. Otherwise I don't exactly know what could be causing that.

As with what Chev has suggested, opening your NAT settings will help as well.

Don't do this if you're an older person.... Zag is ageist. He also has poor choice in socks.
