I dont often play btb but yeah I was surprised when I couldnt connect to a match or whatnot. Then I remembered hearing about it not working on this forum. Really surprised how little its being talked about.

Not working for me neither… A couple days ago that is down
This is really getting to me now.
It’s the only relaxed mode we have and it’s bloomin’ down!
Guess who has a ton of BTB challenges for the week and can’t play BTB because of connection issues? THIS GUY! I am not going to pay for challenge swaps to remove challenges that would otherwise be easy if not for the horrible BTB servers. Why is this not fixed yet?

I’m still having issues consistently getting into BTB. Sometimes it works for a match but then goes back to the “cannot connect to dedicated server” error or getting stuck on Map Loading… 0% issue.

Or if after 20 minutes you finally glitch your way into a game, it hangs afterwards when trying to return to the menus with a ‘connecting to session’ message even though I’m just out of a game.
I had to restart nearly every game I played last night.
343 sort your faeces out. This is sub par.

Same here, it’s been really bad for the last 2 days. I’d be lucky if I manage to join 1 game after 10 attempts. Please fix it! BTB is my favorite mode, it sucks I can’t play.
It’s unbelievable to have so many bugs in the game Mainly Big team battle , and to get away with it ,

it is just btb, been like 2 weeks since i been able to play a game of it without restarting the game a dozen times even then it takes forever and i got challenges that can only be achieved in BTB, like, WTF 343!?
I’m sure this has been brought up in other posts but I just wanted to share just in case anyone else stumbles upon this. I was having little to no success at all getting into BTB games. I decided to check my NAT being that I had recently gotten a new router. My NAT was “Moderate”. I went into my router and opened all of the required ports for XBOX Live and my NAT is now open and I would say just I get a dedicated server error MAYBE 1 or 2 games out of 10. It has made a huge difference in success rate when playing BTB. Even if your NAT is open I would still highly recommend going into your router and enabling the following ports:
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)
Even when partying with a friend that didn’t have these ports opened the success rate was again terrible. I had him going into his router and setup port forwarding and immediately we were able to join games.
