Just went on multiplayer and was stunned by the selection of 18 servers at most(ded. only).This didn't happen in the morning and triple-checked my filtres; connection; evrything... I'm utterly stunned...Not even the bungie servers are up.I have no idea what to do or maybe it's like last time when gamespy decided to take a holliday.Please post if you have the same problem and/or solutions. In the meantime i'm off to see what i can get from the 18 servers... not much of a choice....

it's a random error that occurs from time to time. reinstalling and reupdadting halo usualy fixes it.
also, make sure you don't have the 'dedicated servers only' button checked at the top of your internet lobby page

Iamwhie is right. A reinstall will help. A complete shutdown of your computer, and modem, will also help in most cases.

i get a lot of servers. I just noticed that none of the bungie servers (bungie slayer, ctf, teams) are up. They are actually up, i can get to them by direct ip, but they aren't showing up in the server lists, no matter what. I know about filters, and they aren't the problem.

I've reinstalled it (direct consequence of Exception: Unspecified) twice, set my filters to every imaginable configuration possible and have tried connecting through direct IP but still no Bungie servers. That pissed me off, so out comes the keyboard and some other things and only then will I have access to a Bungie server. If all else fails and you really want to play on a Bungie server, hack.

um.....I've always been able to access the bungie servers through direct ip. It's just that since they didn't show up on the server lists, nobody would be on and you always get "0 ping". 0 ping is total BS.

anyway, the servers are back up on the server list, but 0 ping is still the irritating thing that remains.

Firewall problem. Make sure ports 2300-2305 are open.

The 0 ping is annoying, yes, but are only on two of Bungie's servers. All the rest are fine as far as I've experienced.

only one bungie-ctf server gives you the right ping.

Mr MA5B, I take it you didn't read the last part. Only two of them show 0 ping on my end. All of the rest of them are fine. But, unfortunately, the servers aren't showing on my end, again.

today, i only see bungie-ctf-6 up. It has the right ping, i think, but nobody's on it.
