Subject: Halo 3 Matchmaking Problem

I am unable to play Halo 3 matchmaking because I'm unable to connect with the Halo 3 server. I'm not able to even choose a playlist. Where the name of a playlist would be, it says: Not Available. This hasn't happened before. I've tried testing the Xbox live connection, trying to play matchmaking in early hours and wait for updates for Halo 3. The thing I've tried may not be very direct to the situation, but those are the only things I can think of that will fix this. I am able to play other game online but not Halo 3. Is this because too many people are playing Halo 3 matchmaking at the same time? Or is there another reason. If anyone has any information on this problem, please reply to this post.

Are you connected to to Xbox Live?
If you are then I get it quite a bit, normally I open the disc drive close it and try again. I have a Moderate connection so it could be something to do with that I think, I'm not whizz with stuff like this so someone else might not more in detail.

Every time I want to play Halo 3 i have to sign out and back in before it will properly connect. Seems like ever since the map stopped lighting up the connection has been acting weird.

Happens a lot since the MM numbers dropped.

The matching restarts like 5 times. You get close to enough numbers for a game and then boom - around you go again.

When I get to 6 restarts I pop the disk and play a game that allows an opt in/out mm system. The option to be able to join/leave games already in play makes H3 mm painful.

This has been going on for a a couple months now. I did buy an new router but other online games get connection.
