Subject: No Servers Showing Up In Halo 2

Durka

i've tried everything, updating my drivers, re installing the game, waiting a couple minutes before clicking the live button, restarting my computer, restarting the program multiple times, and none of these seem to work. I loaded it up on my laptop and had the same problem. The first 3 days after i installed it on my new desktop it ran fine.

Does anyone know anyway to fix this?

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

No idea how to fix it. I blame Microsoft. They are bastards. It's been out years now and the only patch released was to cover up some nudity.

This would be slightly less annoying if it were some bargain-bin game with no sentimental value to anyone, but Halo is a legend and part of people's warmest memories, and somehow the good folks at MS fail to care about that.

Halo 2 Vista doesn't even exist as a game.
M$ hate it so much, they even refuse to acknowledge it's existence.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Blame GFWL. They blamed it on maitence last time and now "Were looking into it" when the problem is obviously GFWL itself.

So it's everyone that can't find games...not just me? How long ago did this problem start occuring?

it happens once in a while. Basically the servers dont show up for everyone, no one is in moose, and people fill the GFWL forums with posts about this. Whenever a thread is on bnet, bashers come. And it has been happening since the GFWL 2.0 update.

For me it happens constantly. I'm lucky if I can get the list to show up. Microsoft needs to -blam!- patch their -blam!-. They always rip people off. It's just that people don't know there's alternatives to getting screwed over with every update, upgrade, and Windows release.

If I wasn't a total game addict I'd have stopped using Microsoft stuff long ago. At least I got rid of my 360.

And they're not bashers. It's a valid complaint, when the game doesn't work as it's supposed to.

This is my first post on this forum. I just bought a new computer and this game.. I am having the same problem as you guys with the broken matchmaking. It worked one night for me then totally broke. Sad to see such a great title treated like this. Are you listening Bungie?

It's been that way for a very long time. People have phoned up and complained, but since MS owns the computing world they know they can do whatever they want. I really don't know what to suggest, except maybe give up.

it would seem they want to kill of Halo 2 Vista.

  • 01.13.2010 12:27 AM PDT

I'm having the same issues. Not just in Halo 2, but also on Universe at War and Red Faction: Guerrilla. My non WL games work just fine. If the problem affects all of Windows Live, then Microsoft really needs to get their act together and fix the problem.

Then you have a GFWL issue. SFIV PC works fine for me.

Another day without servers.. I wouldn't be so pissed but I went to Gamestop, Walmart, and then 3 Best Buys looking for a copy of this game just the other day. Haven't even gotten to play online except for one hour the night I got it. At least they aren't really selling it.. probably right not to push it on people

  • 01.13.2010 5:21 PM PDT

Microsoft is bs wish there was another way to make it work without going through monopoly/I dont care about our customers (Windows) live

  • 01.13.2010 6:04 PM PDT

I take back part of my last post just played a short game in Red Faction. Gonna have to try the others again.

which ends up in "Do you want a refund?"


prehaps, we need to wait for Bungie to lose the Halo IP, and get lost, maybe then M$ will have no excuse but to support the only Halo games they have.

They fail at making PC games.

M$ and Bungie are the deaths of Halo PC games.
Gearbox, were great, and made Halo 1 good, M$ stabs Halo 1 forcing Gearbox to make crappy netcoding.
Bungie sucked on Halo 2, and M$ kills for PC.

Are the servers still down for everyone? Im at work or I would check on it. M$ can smoke my pole with their crappy customer service (if you can even call it that) and lack of accountability.

Still down. I checked about half an hour ago. Got nothing.
