Subject: Restarting Search?

Ok the problem is that when I go to play matchmaking on reach it finds a person or 2 then it says "restarting search" even when it didn't find anyone it still said it so anyone know where this is coming from or why?

Things I have Tried:
Turning Xbox off
Playing different playlists
Wait

Same here and for all my friends. Seems to be the servers, dammit.

My Connection

It's not your connection, it's a server-side issue. You'll have to just wait it out.

Issue on my end also. I usually have to return to the main lobby a few times before any players actually load up properly.

The periodic "restarting search" thing is a basic way the matchmaking system in Halo's 3 and Reach functions. It (usually) has nothing to do with connection issues. I don't know exactly how it works in the overall scheme, but this is my guess:

The matchmaking system works by trying to lump people into groups, and getting a match going when a group reaches a sufficient player count. But with how it lumps people up, it's entirely possible for the matchmaking system to be tracking two in-progress groups of, say, 10 people, in a playlist like BTB where 16 people are required to get a game going. Clearly there are enough people to get a game going, but these groups are not fully combinable (since combining them would result in a group of 20). Also, since the algorithm has to ensure complicated player groupings (like parties) work out, and to minimize the number of things that need to be tracked by the server at once, they decided for simplicities sake that they couldn't just pull people from one group and drop them into the other. So, the resolution to the issue is to break both groups up and re-sort them.

It's quite common to go through several restart cycles. Though, if this is REALLY bad right now, it could be sorting difficulties or something on server side, I guess.

Why do these smart a's always think they have all the answers? It's obviously a problem at bungie with all these players suddenly having the same issue.

This game will never be Bungie's problem, ever again.

You meant to say the issue 343i is having at the moment. B.net is working fine.
