I just tried to play halo again and went to play online. I pressed the button to get the servers and it comes up with no servers and says failed to contact gamespy master server. Anyone know what i should do? Any help would be great. Thank you.

Are you behind a firewall?

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

It's something to do with your connection then. Can you give us some info about your setup please?

OK i also have a problem playing online. After going into an online game, I start playing but i can't see my weapon but it shoots. I also can't see anyone but I can see my team's arrows above them. I tried restarting the game 3 times and it keeps happening. Anyone know what to do?

Get a computer made from this millenium, you should be fine.

I used to have the same problems. After I got a new computer, namely one with DSL instead of dial up, I got some updates and I was fine.

Recently it hasn't been acting "normal". Used to, before the last update, I could join any of the servers that weren't locked. When I joined a server, I didn't lag [much] and my ping never got over 200. This was on the old computer, which emerged sometime around 1999 as a sleek, hot rod word processor. Now, with my new computer, and the new update, I can't (Negotiating Connection to Server...Retrying Server (4)...Cannot Connect) join any server outside of a 85-120 ping window, and many servers don't even show a ping. When I find one joinable, my ping rests around 200-300 and I warp. If I find a close server, its fine. I ran a program that "magically scans a configures your connection settings to maximize your internet speeds!" and it said most of my ports were "not open". I skipped Modems 101 and I don't know what a port is. Is this my computer or not? That is, if you actually read that post. It does remain on subject (playing halo pc online).

Rizza, I don't understand your post. If you're a child and don't have Parental Control Capabilities, you must play under whoever does' screenname?

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

make sure you your connection is good and that you can browse the web easily. if you can make sure all firewalls aren blocking halo pc. ive had this problem before when i had Earthlink, which is a crappy dsl company, and basicly whenever my dsl crapped out andi tryed to play halo it would give me that message.
