Yes, I believe it's been down three days in a row. Maybe two. This is ridiculuous. Hopefully microsoft fixes the problem today. Samcrosby thx for the update, can you update this page later on today at five?

I hate to be the resident pessimist, but Microsoft doesn't care. It's that simple.

That said, I hope it works out for you guys.

haha warned by a -blam!-ot mod for making a thread that singles out an individual. I'm a GANGSTA now!

They let H2v lay by the way side since the get go. What makes you think they will fix something now?

It was working earlier today, but I closed Halo 2, picked up a friend, and now it doesn't work anymore. Had some awesome games though.

Good thing I got all of the H2V achievements already because I can't foresee any help from Microsoft or Bungie. They have tried to deny the existence of H2V since they released it.

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

The real reason it's down is because a GFWL update broke h2v multiplayer, so it is now like this a lot.

  • 06.23.2010 6:44 PM PDT

I got to play Halo 2 online all day today, so I'm assuming it's fixed now...

NO.
The real reason it's down is because H2V is so outdated, it needs to be updated to fully support GFWL client.

-blam!- connection to game browser.
Join lag.

All of which are related to how the game handles the newer versions of GFWL.

Is this related to live being grayed out?

I just installed halo 2 today on my windows 7 pc,i got the compatibility update on windows update and i entered my lvie key in halo 2 but live is still grayed out.I assume it does it itself when live is down?

Nevermind i made a new profile and it works now :) but i tried to go into a match but it said sorry problem ill try again tomorrow inshallah...

I've noticed it was down for a while now. I tried playing a few months ago and kept getting "Server not available" messages.

And what's sad on my part is I bought this about a year ago, now it seems quite useless. Campaign was too easy and dull.
I hope Microsoft fixes it soon (if ever), or better... if Bungie got with someone to make an H3 PC port.

That would be the day.

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.

Well MS is doing nothing, and the little geniuses hacking the game spend so much time trying to get notoriety they're too busy to actually help the people in need.

That basically sums up h2v.
MS support is giving excuses, nothing is done on the forums when people post suggestions(contrary to what wedge the jedi and other ms staff had said), and all the people with inside knowledge on h2v aren't trying to fix it. Instead...they are causing drama.

It's great you decided to take action. I've phoned them several dozen times about the same problems, so you are not the only one (I was also told no one else ever phoned). They just lie about it. Microsoft is the most disgusting company that ever existed. We should start recording these phone calls.

Nothing is fixed, nothing ever is.
Just because the Game browser all of a sudden starts connecting, doesn't mean it is "fixed forever", the problem which causes it still happens.
This has been happening since [no idea], and that is how long they refuse to fix the game.

Something smells fishy...

I thought BP was the worst. Lol.

But seriously I also don't understand why Microsoft lies to its customers. There can't be anything to gain from saying something like, "You're the first to call about this issue."

Microsoft definitely does not want to deal with H2V complaints. If Microsoft pushes away costumers upset about H2V then there will probably never be an fix for the game.

MS has done the same with Halo 2 Xbox. They usually confuse the two a lot.
And when halo 2 xbox went down early this year (before the shutdown was announced), MS support would just blame the ISP. They would tell you to call your ISP and deny it was an issue on their end. And more people probably called in about that then h2v.
