Yo people,
Lately i have been encountering problems in the Halo lobby. I have been receiving very little servers in my lobby. Whats going on, do we need a new patch? Source of connection? Halo 2 on PC? (joke).

Whats going on...?

I've been having problems, too. I played with my filter settings and saw that there a a lot of full games, but full games can't be joined, so that does no good. I raised the minimum ping, but that just got me into some lagfests.

I started my own game. People joined and we played. No one complained of lag. When I exited and switched to another map, no one joined. I waited quite some time. I wonder if my game is showing up in the gamespy lobby. Maybe I need to restart my computer or something.

I'm a MacUser. Does anyone know how to set it up to rotate through the maps?

Everybody get over to Gamespy.com and spam up their support forums. They're not gonna fix it if we don't make a stink.

Hey all,

The problems with the Halo lobby are due to a massive fault in the Gamespy network at the moment. They tried rebooting all their servers last week and it temporarly seemed to fix the problems, but they have returned again. We have over 15 dedicated public servers which we provide to the Halo community but you can only see 5-6 of them at the moment in the Halo lobby.

I've left many posts in the Gamespy forums but they don't seem particurlarly interested in fixing them. Hopefully someone in Bungie can get hold of someone in IGN and tell the to sort themselves out. If I ever hear something back from them I'll give everyone an update but don't hold your breath.

Yeah, I've noticed this too, I've seen a lot of servers but definitely not the full number. I can't find Iggwilv's unofficial Bungie practice server either. What a shame...

Ya, the only way to get to that one right now is by either IP join in-game or if you saved it in X-fire (like I did) just joining with that. Yea, it's weird only about 200-300 servers are showing. I hope Gamespy gets this worked out...

yes people, this is a comon problem at the moment due to problems with gamespy, this is not a problem with any of your equipment hardware, i guess we'll just have to wait on gamespy gettin off their asses and repairing the problem.

It's not just spamming the forums of Gamespy that needs to happen.

Bungie/Microsoft...whatever...

They decided to use "powered by Gamspy".....and use Gamespy as a game integration for the community.

So why doesn't Bungie step up and try putting some pressure on Gamespy too...after all we don't have a choice in using Gamespy...you chose to use them Bungie..you step up since it's part of the product package and it's NOT WORKING!!
