That explains a lot but I figured the site was running poorly due to so many people being off for the holidays and such.

Xbox live was shocking over the holiday period. It was taking about 10 minutes to join a game on halo 3.

^Ugh, that was pissing me off! I was trying to do Big Team battle with some friends and it would say "player found" and once everything was loaded it would start searching again!!

Yeah I kept getting the same problem.

I actually was having that problem yesterday... It worked just fine for the first few games then all the sudden Team Slayer wouldn't even load up players and when it did, it would start over

You came so close to saying what not. Good job.

 

[Prize Gotti]

Im guessing I can't move this into the Game forum so can another mod please do this.

On another note, can any one tell me how to join Zombie games on Halo 3? I play one the other day that I got invited to but I cant see to figure out how to find these Zombie servers through normal match making.

Well if you got invited to it are you sure it wasn't just a custom game then?

 

[Jeremy]

It's because they got some many new live members during the holidays the servers could not handle it. They are giving every single member a free arcade game for the problems.

Weren't they doing a Halo 3 night or something? It must have been really lagging that day.

My little brother's been playing the Zombie version for the past days. I just asked him and he said "he has to install the mod and it'll show up". Don't know if that helps.

thank buddy.

 

[_carmi]

Yeah I noticed that too. My bf was getting all frustrated cause Xbox Live was extremely slow.

 

[S O F I]

You have to pay for xbox live, right?

 

[Steph]

^ Yeah its $8 a month or $51 for a year.

 

[Khalistani Soldier]

...edit

^ Yeah its $8 a month or $51 for a year.

It's actually only 39.99$ + tax for a year's subscription, plus you get an xtra months, so basically 13 months of gold membership. 3.33$ a month if you calculate it by 40$. Not bad at all for all the entertainment your getting. It's true what my buddies said, you havn't played video games, till you've played online.

It's great living in Britain and having a step-dad that for work Mircrosft. 13 months subscription for $30, that £15 (everything in the uk is priced similar to us prices, for normally it would cost me £40).
