To Bungie and all the people online trying to play Halo 3.
Hello. I just want to know what's going on. I seem to only be able to play in custom games that I join in with my friends. The Matchmaking system doesn't seem to want to connect me to any public games. Everyone I've played with is also having the same problems. It seems when I Auto-Sign In to Xbox Live, it shows I've signed in at the bottom like regular and how many friends are on...but when I try to confirm this by either pressing the Guide Button or looking at the menus that are supposed to change with the login, it takes an infinte time to load and I have to either turn it off, or it disconnects without telling me and I try to reconnect again. Actually, the only way I've been able to play today is by going into Matchmaking and it just signs me on. I have the USB Wireless, Open NAT (which it says is the most compatible connection for a router), and whenever I test it, it always passes. Can anyone relate? I should probably be making this apparent to Xbox.com, but I figured it would spread faster here. I don't know, maybe it's just a bad couple of days for the servers ya know? But if anyone else is experiencing these problems, it would be cool if you gave me a response or tell me what problems your having...or if Bungie could let me know, that'd be cool...it would just help to know what's going on...because I really need to pwn a coupla noobs online, and I'm not able to do so because of these problems...so yeah...stay up.
