Halo 3 Xbox Live Problems

Halo 3 matchmaking is going crazy, while playing some halo 3 with some friends on matchmaking we was trying to start the game and it wouldn't start because of this message saying cannot receive information from xbox live.

What is this? At the moment we are not sure why this is happening but stay tuned to find out more.

I had this problem for a little bit today, I restarted my box and it worked fine.

Jandre026797d ago

We made today a Halo day at my bros house. Halo and football. The redskins won so it was a good day for football, but not so much for Halo.

We spent 75% of the time getting "information from the server"

Complete bullshit. Cant wait for Haze to come out, then Ill hop back on to the ever reliable PSN.

Working matchmaking FTW! (leave warhawk out of this, lol.)

Gondee6797d ago

It works ir you just re-start ur box. You gota be somewhat reasonable, theres like a million people on line.

Jandre026797d ago

Even being a Sony fanboy, it does impress me how well Xbox Live (usually) handles all those people online while allowing messaging, voice chat, matchmaking, etc.

1,000,000 people all on at once all talking playing and messaging and keeping it working smoothly has got to be difficult. I just hope they can fix this problem soon though. I may end up losing interest soon because I hate getting hyped to woop ass only to sit around for hours baffled as to why I cant even begin looking for a game.

SKUD6797d ago

Im sure there will be a solution soon. This game is too important for them to ignore.

G_CodeMonkey6797d ago

This is 2007 and this is the premiere multiplayer title for 360. It is inexcusable that I can't go search for matches I want to play without having to create my own CUSTOM match and just invite friends. Again, BOO BUNGIE. Fix this!!!! gCM

Legionaire20056797d ago

This problem happen to me for a short period of time and now it works, but for how long until it happens again?

Klopek6797d ago

Yep. A pretty frequent problem for me. I hope it's sorted soon.

That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.

Reaper22_197d ago

So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.

Tacoboto197d ago

Complaining about Microsoft is the only thing people comment here for anymore.

This website is practically dead without it

Mmmkay197d ago

I remember when you guys constantly complained about Sony remaking and remastering games. Guess it is cool now. As usual.

thesoftware730197d ago

Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.

"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

medman192d ago (Edited 192d ago )

@thesoftware730
I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.

Travesty197d ago

So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..

monkey602197d ago

I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place

Travesty197d ago

Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.

jjb1981197d ago

I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.

crazyCoconuts197d ago

Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters

Inverno197d ago

Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.

JEECE197d ago

There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.

Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.

isarai197d ago

Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it

franwex197d ago

30% profit margins! People will pay $70+ for remakes!

Software_Lover197d ago

I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.

TheColbertinator197d ago

Can they remake Reach too with the multiplayer?

Knightofelemia197d ago

I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii859d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies859d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
