I mean does any one else encounter this probelm?

  • 07.29.2007 7:40 PM PDT

that just means that the host of the game quit the match and matchmaking finds a new person to host the match...either that or you are another unfortunate victim of standbying (less likely than the first, but still a possibility)...it probably has nothing to do with your connection, unless you lag out of the game (it will say game over and you will be the only player left) hope this helped

Can you clerefy Standbying? and my Cable Rarely lags out

  • 07.29.2007 7:50 PM PDT

standbying is a form of cheating when the host of the game presses the standby button on their modem and it sends every player except him to the blue screen so they can walk around and get free kills

Well i'm talking about x-box live so unless your talking about my x-box blue screening

yes i am also talking about xbox live...when you say that it says "reconnecting to game" are you talking about when your in the middle of a match and it suddenly goes to a blue screen?

  • 07.29.2007 7:59 PM PDT

Oh yes i guess that would qualify as blue screening lol i was thinking about the deadly pc blue screen now thats just cheep i'm sorry it just is


And yes thats what i ment in the middle of a match

lol no the xbox doesnt go to a blue screen of death like a pc does...and yea since you were talking about the blue screen in the middle of a match then everything i said applies it could either be host quitting the match (most likely) or it could be a cheater standbying (less likely) or you could just be lagging out of the game (least likely)

  • 07.29.2007 8:05 PM PDT

So why can i keep going in the match?

  • 07.29.2007 8:08 PM PDT

if it was the host quitting then matchmaking finds a new player to host the game and once this is done the game just continues from where it left off

  • 07.29.2007 8:11 PM PDT

ah ok that takes a lot off my mind thanks

  • 07.29.2007 8:19 PM PDT
