Yesterday, all of a sudden, the official BUNGIE and EU-BUNGIE servers dissappeared. It's been 24 hours now and still no news on this matter.

Did they just take them down or what? The least they can do is put up some message with what is going on...

Try logging onto the server using Direct IP. For some reason ALOT of servers are not visable in the lobby, but are still running. There is a list of all the servers and IP address, so try it that way

Tried it.. doesn't work..

My friends have the same problem.

Is there anyone on here that can access the EU-BUNGIE-CTF servers?

Last night I was able to connect through x-fire. I did not stay on though.

Who know's what's goin on.

weird....I noticed this a few days ago as well. I can only hope that Bungie decided not to close down these servers. After all this forums's wining about how there so many TKers there, they might've just closed them down if they thought they weren't being used properly. Just goes to show you, you fight for something that you can't win, you're just going to lose it big-time in the long run. I'm sure most of us would agree that we'd rather have the Bungie servers with only a small # of TKers, then no Bungie servers at all. Now, if they close then we have all the idiots and TKers coming to OTHER servers, is that what you really wanted?

Found the BUNGIE Servers, just joined one, but of course I was the only one. Anyway go to yahoo games (games on demand) and download "the All-Seeing Eye"
http://videogames.yahoo.com/multiplayer
ALL the Bungie, US and EU are visable and playable. (free demo of the "eye" available).
Hopefully someone reads this and the message gets out, because it's kinda no fun being on a server all alone (stunts get old).

Just a shot in the dark as to the cause of this but seeing as how these servers can still be found through other means (x fire etc) maybe it's not something bungie did but rather somthing Gamespy Arcade has done.... anyone wanna look into it?

It's not Bungie.
Another server that I use is not visable in the Lobby but it is accesable.
Looks like it is Gamespy.

Hmm, if it was GameSpy, shouldn't the servers be accessible through direct IP?

I tried all of them and it doesn't work. I really love Halo (or I wouldn't be playing it for over 3 years :p), but if the official servers keep being unaccessible, I'm afraid this love won't last for long. There are very few other decent servers (read: with pings lower than 100; without a -blam!-load of tanks, rockets and fuel rods; without -blam!- teleport mods; ...) and the ones that are there are always full.

I'll try the GameSpy forum... I don't keep my hopes up, but it's worth a shot...

More reactions on this thread are welcome! Spread the word!!

Never mind people, they're back up in the lobby. Although i would like to know what happened, I'm glad it's solved :)

Peace out...
