Hi,
Just got my new xbox 360... bought it to play halo.... I think i'am doing something very stupid!
I want to play online, i've registered as a gold member on xbox live, but when i try the matchmaking thing it just keeps timing out saying its waiting for additional players then restarting.
how long is it typical to wait to be included in a game???
As i don't have any friends that have xboxs i've no one to play with! :(
help! :)

Maybe try something different like an unranked game and see if you get to play quicker. Have you been able to play at all?

I've tried! :( but no i've not had one game as of yet! :(
everthing else seems to be working fine........... just keeps failing to find other players on the 2nd step of the matchmaking.

Explosions of flavour
Check the ill-culinary behaviour

what's your internet connection like? Matchmaking will try to put you in the best possible game it can find you, but if your connection sucks it may be having a hard time finding you anything other than lag fests.

No I think there's XBL there, so that shouldn't be the problem. :) Also 1mb is enough, I think. But you should try to play some Team Training, you find a match faster there.
