K well I just recently got this game so I can play with my friend who told me to get it, I install it everything's going good, download the update when I get to the multiplayer part, but when I "Get list" or "refresh" i only see about 10 servers, where he sees about 600, and in those 600 he cant see the 10 servers I see, I can't figure out what would cause this, but I really want a solution so I can play with my friend as I intended when I got the game, thanks

Edit: Heres a pic of my server list after about 30 seconds.. http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/5088/serverlistdj2.jpg, and yes ive waited for more servers but nothing else shows up. I tried halo custom edition too and got the same problem, also when you go to settings on the main menu and go to about, does it matter what "Build" you have?

Yes it matters what version of the game you have. The most recent version is 1.07. I believe you have to download it manually(called the 1.07 Hotfix I believe.) Just use google. Also check your firewall and router settings to make sure Halo is accessing the internet properly.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

(1) Link: http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo/downloads.aspx

(2) Go down below to V.107 Hotfix, download it and save it in C:/Porgram Files/Microsoft Games/Halo.

(3) It will ask if 'to overwrite?'. Say Yes.

(4) Go to the same folder and go to the patch file with the Sangheilli (Elite) skull icon and run it. You know, double click it.

(5) It should only take about a minute or so and it should be comeplete.

Run it and it'll work. Sure as heck.

Yah ive reinstalled many times and ive used the hotfix from a fresh install , used the auto update when you connect to internet while playing halo and even tried to get my friend to send me all his halo files pretty much but nothings working. I have that file you said in my halo folder already and i just took it out, downloaded a new one and put it in , ran it and everything and it says it's up to date, in the internet lobby the message at bottom says "blah blah 1.07 " and it says its up to date and theres no updates so everything should be up to date..

Also just completely turned firewall off and having the same results, im on a cable modem no router or anything either

I ran into this exact same problem a few years ago when I first started playing Halo. I used a copied CD and a hacked serial number that a friend game me to try out the game. I would only get a few servers on my list that always seemed full, but when I went to gamespy.com I saw hundreds of servers. SO I went and bought a legal version of the game, installed it, applied all of the patches and then saw all of the the servers.
