Why the hell is it that I put my hl2 disk into my old xbox1 and instantly get in a BTB match with 16 players, when I try with my 360 it takes -blam!- forvever, like 20 minutes sometimes.

has this happened to anyone else?

are bungie trying to force 360 owners off halo2 onto halo3 so they can -blam!- more money out of them by getting them to buy maps, I hate halo3 online it's a borefest with no tactics or fun, it's just frustrating and a 3 map rotation with crappy games types just doesnt do it for me.

sort it out bungie, I bought halo2 and am a paying xbox live customer so fix ur game!!

ne way had to get that off my chest as I sit here waiting 20 minutes for 1 match on halo2, I want to play on my 360 as my headset for my xbox1 is broke and I get upscaled graphics.

Both of you, XBL is down.......

Bungie cares more about getting Halo 3 up at the moment rather than Halo 2. Just be patient...

Just because the site says so doesn't mean there won't be any lag or issues with it...

It was down...

Your right. Bungie is totally screwing us over. They hate their own creation and are trying to force us into their new baby. DOOM.

[/sarcasm]

Seriously now, I'm pretty sure it is an error, most likly temporary,on xbls behalf. I say this not because I am a l33t bungie fanboy, but because H2 is not the only thing xbl related I'm having trouble with. Give it a day, things will return to normal.

If your headset for the Xbox is broke can't you just use the 360's headset?

im having no problems playing h2 on my 360, takes abit to find a match but its been like that since h3 came out unfortunatly....

it all depends what playlist ur looking for though n the time of day ive found. so i just try n get on the same time each day it solves that...

the only game i play on xbox is halo2 i even bought a 360 just so i could take advantge of the better graphics (i know seems like alot of money just to play 1 game but i do play the xbl arcade games too on the 360=D)

I my 360 headset wont fit inside my xbox 1 controller, my xbox1 is also hooked up to a crappy 12' tv as opposed to my HD lcd.

Bungie are a company and at the end of the day their goal is not to please fans but to make money, they aren't going to make money off halo2 anymore getting halo2 killed off is good for business, halo3 is where they are going to make their money with maps, armour, and other chargable content, the more 360 owners on halo3 the more money they will make.

Problem is halo3 is crap online and dumbed down for the masses. I can get online in halo3 no problem, but I don't want to play it cos i prefer halo2, I haven't had a match on halo2 on my 360 in 2 days, and as the above poster said since halo3's release halo2 matchmaking is awful.
