Subject: Question! Halo 3 Matchmaking - Taken back to Lobby

I load up matchmacking and about 1/5 games I get taken back to lobby by myself at the point where I can see all the players gamertags and the map.

Sometimes the map picture doesn't load and sometimes it will switch maps and then take me back.

I have cleared my cache and it hasn't fixed it and I've tried another halo 3 disc and that has not fixed it either.

Either both discs are broken or it's my xbox unless you guys have another solution?

No xbox live disconnects and the connection is fine! ISP is fine and NAT type open. Using the Mythic Disc and the other one both have problems and appears to only be happening with both my halo 3 discs not reach but who wants to play that -blam-

When you start matchmaking does it give you a notification regarding NAT type? If your NAT isn't open you can sometimes have difficulties connecting to games.

If a map doesn't load and the map changes it means someone in the game couldn't load that map, if you keep getting kicked out of games and the maps keep changing I'd put my money on it being your copy of Halo. If you're using downloaded maps try playing the Mythic playlist and see if the same thing happens.

The final thing I can think of is your disc drive is coming to the end of it's life, you can buy a disc drive cleaning disc for around £5 ($8-10), put that in your Xbox, let it play it's jonty tune as most of them usually have one and then bobs your uncle your disc tray is good as new.

This too. If your router and modem appear fine contact your ISP or look on their website to check if there is anything going on in your area which could affect the connection.

Thanks, I think I might buy a new mythic disc and then if that doesn't work I'll buy a new xbox!
