Subject: Matchmaking Timed Out?

Whoever said anything was possible never tried nailing jello to a tree.

So I buy H2 for PC and import my gamertag and all that so I can play some games on Live. Well, after browsing for some servers first and not finding a single one I decided to try and just join a quickmatch. After a few seconds of looking for a quickmatch a message popped up that said
Matchmaking timed out while searching for a game
WTF is this? Does anyone know what the problem could be, and if so how I can fix it?

It would say that on the xbox if not alot of people played it. It just means it couldn't find a game.

Damn. SO that means out of all the people in the world, not a single one is trying to get a game going on H2 for PC other than me.\
Kind of sad eh?

I'm having that problem too. There actually are servers there it just wont show them. Ive talked to a friend playing H2 for the PC while ive tried browsing and nothing shows. It either kicks me out of LIVE after a while or says nothing is there.

^^ It's pretty annoying.

We need more people playing this game, and better servers :D

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

There is no such thing as Matchmaking for H2V. The server Quickmatch searches out can be found by going to Browse Games.

Quickmatch is designed to find servers with low ping and lots of players. When it times out, it probably can't find a server with a ping below it's search requirements.

M$ didn't do a good job on Windows LIVE, even with the belated release you would think they would have it up and running a good rate than this bit-o-crap. It seems more like a beta than a full version.

Has anyone else played any other games that use Windows LIVE, how are those doing?

I feel sorry for the poor saps that paid $100 for the game and gold for a year

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

I can't find any servers or do a quickmatch. What a great $50 investment this was...

That was you? Ugh I remember that well. I cant believe you did that haxxor! It was actually just trying to lunge because you were out of melee range and the crosshair turned red right when you saw me. Why were you getting on the base anyway?
