Subject: Matchmaking: Rumble pit fine but no firefight and campaign? WTF!!

Hey guy's.

I can connect fine to most matchmaking games and have played many great games and have enjoyed my time online in reach immensely. Right up to the point where I try to connect to an online co-op match such as firefight or co-op campaign. I can play standard rumble pit and invasion and the rest of the games perfectly easily but when it comes round to connecting to the co-op ones it seems to never find players or when it rarely does they disappear almost immediately.

I'm connected online through a laptop with a t-mobile dongle and even with full strength signal it's the same but rumble pit for example will work straight away. What's going on, I'm at my wits end and any help would be appreciated.

I have tried saving halo reach to my hard drive but it's still the same, I've disconnected both live and my laptop to see if that works to no avail. My brother also has reach and he can co-op fine using the same setup as me with a laptop and dongle so it can't be a problem with that can it?

Truly I have tried pretty much everything I can think of.

EDIT: Right it has nothing to do with any of the following and I'm sure I must be running out of possible options lol. How much can it actually be down to?

Not Memory, I have a 20 gig hard drive with 7.8 gig left, although this could be an issue with others so if you have this problem it could be that so check.

Not moderate NAT either, I have friends with this setting with the same set up as me and it works perfect.

Could it possibly be an update that's gone wrong? Any ideas will help me and could help others in the future.

I'm going to look further into it now.

Imnot an expert but I think it has something to do with your ping to the host server.... bad ping bad game.

woot

which version of the 360 do you own?

if it's one of the new xbox slim with only the 4 gig harddrive it won't work due to a odd way the 4 gig was put into the system making it report back to the system as a Memory card insted of a Harddrive.

and a Harddrive is needed to play co-op matchmaking and firefight matchmaking, but not the other hoppers.

If you don't own a 4 gig xbox slim then i have no idea :P

woot

do you have a harddrive for it? cause if you only have the orginal 256mb or what ever memory in it or just a memory card/flashdrive same rules apply as above.

you need a harddrive either the 20/60/120/250 gig brick hardrive that connects to the top

yeah, I have the 20 gig hard drive with 7.8 gig left on it.

After deleting reach off it which took up 6.6 gig. Lol.

Still got the same problem though. I spoke to a few guys in game too when I went to town today and they're clueless although the same thing you mentioned came up. Apparently I'm not the only one either so it looks like I'll either have to find someone who's had it fixed or phone the technical line which is gonna cost a fortune. And I've pretty much worn google out lol. XD I'll keep checking in and keep looking around for a fix or something and post it here if I do for others with the same problem.

Gah, was mostly looking forward to playing this co-op online too when I bought it...... :o(
