Subject: matchmaking not working for 5 of us.

We keep getting the message 'matchmaking has been aborted due to networking difficulties. please try again later.' when searching for a game. not of us can send party invites or chat invites either. it's been happening randomly for 2 weeks now, sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont.

We have all tried searching on our own when this happens, and we all find players. we've tried alternating between us as well so we change the party in every possible way (for example only 2 of us), and we get the message come up. what is up with reach?

It's a current server problem. I've been having the problem on and off since yesterday. About a week ago I was hit randomly with the "Matchmaking Aborted" error when trying to play with ANY friends. It went away after about 3 hours. Open NAT all along and restarting my router/cable modem didn't change anything.

I just played Rock Band 3 for a couple hours, switched back to Reach, and it worked again.

Today is a good day to be a Spartan

This has been going on and off for the last two days.

MM can't find a game/match, getting disconnect in the middle of a game with "Server difficulty error", and then showing up as a Recruit after the game, with it changing back in mid-stream the next game.

343/MS is obviously doing maintenance on the servers, as Halo CEA is out next week, and will want to be ready for the new playlist, and maps and such.

We all have to deal with it.

That is caused by problems connecting to the server, not the server itself.
