You mean there's life outside of this blinking black box? We will start to see the IQ of US teenagers increasing exponentially if y'all keep this up ;)

p.s. my fiance broke my Halo2 cd in half because I spend too much time playing this game and not enough time with him :)

i have already seen my ranking overveiw, and i know what that means, it does not mean they are resetting the ranks, i want you to give me the link where they said it, oh the reason you cant see your ranking is because live is out, that means no server to request your stats from, i know bungie is all power full but that doesent mean they have enough space for all that info, they let it stay on the live server and link the stats page to it through a ahole bunch of complicated algorythms and fun stuff like that

if you want to play live right now go to xbconnect dowload it if you have a router
and then you can go to system link and you can play something close to live

ok, to all the people complaining about XBL being down for one day...

its better now, then having your XB-360 and NOT being able to play online, its better now, then later, trust me, or don't. whatever.

i plan to system link to other XB systems on my campus, because of how it is wired, it helps me out alot

and as for your stats, they are only down because of XBL being down, Bungie did not reset the stats!

"The scheduled Xbox Live downtime today (Monday October 24th) while they enhance and ready the service for Xbox 360, will affect our Halo 2 stat tracking ability. Expect to see oddities today and tomorrow as we try to synchronize our activities with those of Xbox Live. Things should be back to normal soon after Xbox Live resumes service tomorrow." ~ Frankie

yeah, but is better to have a wired router than a wireless, if you have a wireless you will have to jump through loops to make it work

Its a 28 hour time frame, but they can take as long as they like, its theirs you know.

Amazing that anyone would buy into that. Everyone pays a subscription fee to Microsoft in exchange for use of their service. So yea, it is theirs. But a 28-hour outage is absolutely ridiculous. Do you think that Microsoft would incovenience other paying customers with 28-hours of downtime? They wouldn't. They expect you to accept it without question as to what you're losing because they think you're a bunch of video-game-playing losers.

Seriously... think about it. And I'll tell you right now, MS would NEVER bring an entire system down for that length of time on ANY of their other paying customers. So where does that leave you.
