Did you install gamespy arcade when you installed halo? If that's not it idk why. The past few days i have just LOST connection with the server and it says a couple times after i log back on "Error: Failed to contact Gamewpy Server"

yea the arcade is installed, but when i try to 'get list' or 'refresh' it tell me after a few seconds that i failed to connect to the master gamespy server.
is it maybe b/c i dont have the custom edition?
if so where would i get that?

Don't install the Gamespy arcade, it's filled with mal-ware and junk, you don't need it. You don't need custom edition, that's optional, the server might be down, or you don't have internet. Do you have any firewalls?

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

What OS are you using then?
