This is odd. I can't log on to Live. Go to the troubleshooter and guess what? No problem! Logs me on straight away. Go back to the dashboard or to Halo and try to connect: "cannot connect".

Anybody any idea what's going on?

You know what upsets me is that Bungie / Micrsoft made more money just on the release date of Halo 2 than any movie ever made in it's week after opening in the theaters. Okay now on top of that Xbox live is the biggest moneymaker micrsoft has out of all the xbox related products (I would venture to guess upon the release of the 360 by this time next year it could possibly peak windows however that seems a little far stretched but I am assuming yall get the point I am trying to show here) etc... Now why is it that they become immensly rich b/c of our own personal obsession or down time relaxation that we do get out of Halo 2 on live yet not one of them has yet to respond or even attempt to notify use of the problems. And to those of you who said that they mention these types of problems, well go back and reread what the staff had to say they did not mention one word of the issues continuing the following day, (which happens to be today) nor did they say the problems were going to be issues with connecting to live and playing our games jsut problems with the stats matching up. Oh and I promise the only use I get out of this internet is for Halo 2 and to YELL at these guys when they aren't taking care of business as promised in any other industry they would have lost their entire customer basis for 2 days costing them $100,000's of dollars but since its a prepaid deal were stuck w/ a service we pay for that consequently doesn't work b/c someone a certain someone (caugh "you guys" caugh) arent taking care of it and I will continue to whine and moan until a response has been given of a clear time or idea of whether or not this issue will even be dealt with b4 they decide to go home for the evening. So now I will leave for 2 hours and if I dont either have my answer or the problem be resolved I think I'm just going to cancel my Xbox love and try and find better things to do with my life and time other than wasting away sitting here angry.

Oh yea I learned something last night I think everylast one of you should take heed to, it's a quote from the movie Saw 2 suprisingly enough, in it the villain or whatever you wanna call him says " I never killed anyone, I just don't allow those who don't appreciate life to continue to live."

Well guys stick that in ur pipe and smoke, chew it around a bit and consider the idea that you haven't accomplished nothing by playing this game except fulfilling the fact that you can waste more time and energy on playing this game that creates no future for you and nothing to show besides some excellent Halo 2 skills, that should get you a great house, car, and future for youself and your family....... Lifes not worth wasting its worth everything .

Awkward, the outage is supposed to be over by now but for some reason i am getting the same error as the kid above. I troubleshot everything and everything is fine, power cycled my modem, tried it again, still no connection. Could it be the outtage is taking longer then they assumed? or are games still going on and i am one of the few who cannot connect? If this is so, i'd better get an xbox 360 out of this.

As opposed to writing far too much on a message board.

I worked for ten hours today; came home and played with the kids for a couple of hours; went for a run; ate; took kids to bed; prepared work for tomorrow; and now would like to play an hour or so of 'mindless gaming' to relax after ensuring that my nice house, car and future are well cared for.

I'll tell you what all your gonna get out of this is frustration and anger b/c it probably won't be fixed today if I had to guess b/c what happens at 5 o' clock , they go home am afraid they won't have it done to be up and running b4 they leave for the day ...!

Still Angry yet defiant as ever....!

Oh I know that some people use this for recreaion but I am trying to speak to the people who don't leave their homes b/c they are overly obsessed with this game, had I not been sick all day I'd be out looking for a job but thats jsut the way things are, so I was looking forward to taking it easy till I felt better probably most of the day and enjoying some good ol fashion killin, now all I am stuck with is this damn msg board and cable and everyone knows what crap is produce for tv these days about the only decent programing is some news and sports.!!!

I'll be honest the only thing I really liked that bungie's done lately is getting rid of the damned leaderboards, all it was kids w/ bridges mods and circle boosters, anyone reading this whos a 40+ in team slayer your pathetic that you had to cheat in some way at this game to get on the leaderboards and you should be shunned for having any level over 38 in my opinion.... SHUNNED ; )
