  1. Matchmaking??


    First time posting on forums. I have been unable to sign in to Xbox live for two weeks now (after paying for subscription renewal). After all the troubleshooting tips from following the support pages I was able to get as far as my connection not working
    due to "Matchmaking". After looking this up it says it is only effecting Xbox One.... Which I don't have! What's up? How do I fix this? And will I be "refunded" for the time I haven't been able to connect once (and if I ever) get back up and running?

    :)

  2. So, it's not bad...

    [quote user="Jagriff"]Matchmaking's puts you together with people so that the connection will be good. I don't think the "little green bar test" was any more thorough than the tests they do now to collect players, pick host, etc..[/quote]



    The green bar servers were the hottest ticket on LIVE as you knew you would get the best MP/lag free game possible.



    Back in the day a Brit mag even had it's own server which it left on *dedicated* which was the holy grail place to have your games .



    Games are more complicated today but I would always like shooting sharpness/lag free/lag comp free/fast gameplay games over fancy graphics

  3. So, it's not bad...

    [quote user="Tam1"]

    Halo 2 Introduced matchmaking to console gaming which was a bad thing. Halo 2 introduced aim assist/autoaim to console gaming which is a very bad thing. Just because you braindead gamers don't know any better doesn't mean these facts are trolling Matchmaking?? :)

    [/quote]

    How is matchmaking bad (apart from it's cause in growing the console scene)? Matchmaking (as long as it is skill-based) is a great way for teams to practice against a wide variety of opponents. The biggest problem with the matchmaking in the Halo series
    occurred when they dropped skill-based matchmaking. Skip to 2:41:49 in
    this
    if you want to see the effect this has had in Halo 4.



    We can agree that aim-assist is bad, but that's just part of the natural trend of games. Halo may have started the trend, but saying the whole series was without skill in a COD forum doesn't make sense.



    EDIT, sorry I just saw this:

    [quote user="Tam1"]

    Before HALO 2 we had servers on Xbox games. WE looked at the server list and it told us how good the gamer would be for us lag wise. So you joined a *green game* and got minimal lag and you stayed away from red/yellow games.



    The introduction of Matchmaking by HALO2 was because of the need to attract casual (eg noob) players because they wanted everything simplfied into 1 button presses.



    So the real gamers lost their server lists and all this has evolved to crap like lag compensation.

  8. Matchmaking??

    I also have this problem with the matchmaking alert. This is a ploy to get you to get out there and buy the new xbox one that is not suffering from this problem.......I say
    [Mod Removed] them they don't care if you're not getting what you're paying for! the only way to solve this and the lack of help and information from xbox and there staff is to buy the new Playstation.......here I come Sony you can have my
    money.

  11. I have had this "Matchmaking" issue for the past few days. I'm not sure what is causing it but I'm not buying the xbox 1 till the price comes down. I keep getting kicked out of xbox live and have to continue to sign back in. If this is some kind of glitch
    they need to help us fix it or reimburse us for the time lost due to this issue. As I can see above, I am not the only one with this issue....

    Matchmaking??

    Add me to the list of folks having a problem with this. No xbox live connection for several days because of "matchmaking". Is anyone in a position to help reading this, or are we just complaining among ourselves?

  14. I can only assume that this matchmaking issue is what is keeping me from successfully signing in. The sign-in fails with the "some xbox live content is temporarily unavailable" message. then my home screen says to "connect your Xbox 360 to the internet
    to..." So I go to settings, test the xbox live connection, and the connection test passes, except for the damn "matchmaking" status alert. Also, we just downloaded an update one of our games today. Could this have caused the issue? Can someone from Microsoft
    please help?
