Hello there @XxmachineGun, I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support. I am sorry to know about your friend's situation, but I want you not to worry about it because I am here to help you out! The source of the issue could be the network they are using, so I believe your
friend's console might need either a network reset or just a system refresh. I would like you to go through the following steps to clear the Mac address and then perform a quick power cycle on your console:

Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear it and the console should restart. It would definitely help if you could restart the internet router while the console is restarting.

After going through the troubleshooting steps mentioned, I invite you to perform a quick power cycle by turning off the console and then unplugging all the cables. After 2 to 3 minutes, re-plug them back again, then restart your console to check if it's
installing this time.

Another thing you should check is your NAT type. I would like you to check your NAT type if open because that could sometimes interfere. to check for the NAT type you can follow the steps below:

Settings > Network Settings > NAT type => It should be open.

If the NAT type is not open, you will need to open some ports with your internet provider. These ports must be open for Xbox Live to work: Port 88 (UDP) Port 3074 (UDP and TCP) Port 53 (UDP and TCP) Port 80 (TCP) Port 500 (UDP) Port 3544 (UDP) Port 4500
(UDP).

In case the issue still persists after the previous steps have been performed here is the official link to all the network troubleshooting steps that can help sort this out for you.

In case the issue still persists, the next step would be to perform a reset on the console. To do so you will need to follow the steps below to perform a reset on the Xbox :

Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

Note =>The "Reset and Keep my Games and Apps" option will not cause losing your games, but please be aware that you need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account before going for it because it will require you
to sign in to the account.

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!

ok now i can play olmost all online games but black ops 2 still disconects my friend can play black ops 2 with his profiel in my house strange

I received an email to notify us that my son purchased Black op 2 but he is not even home and spending time with a friend. How can I stop payment for this?!

I'm using the xbox 360 E. I'm really starting to get tired of this, I just tried to play some black ops 2, was able to play for like 2-3 minutes then xbox live signs out, followed by being kicked out of the match. I can play minecraft online with two of
my friends all day long, so I'm starting to think its something between live and black ops 2. cod ghosts will do it to but black ops 2 seems to be the worse.

1 - To Play with Friends

2 - To Play against Humans

3 - To be competitive

.

Although I played Multiplayer in Goldeneye 007 back in the day, it wasn't until XBL & HALO 2 where I really started to like MP. And that was because it had a Party System & Matchmaking so I could enjoy matches WITH my friends on MY team. Once the 360 hit,
I started playing a lot more games Multiplayer, but every few years there is always 1 that I focus on.

.

I'm more interested in Co-op games w/ friends, but most of the time those are limited to 4 players only, so I can only play with 3 friends. Multiplayer games that I can get more than 3 friends in are quite fun.
