Can't connect to party and rank reset

So basically my spartan started doing this thing where the armor resets back to the SR1 default gear and my Rank reads SR1. However when I go the customize screen everything looks as it should. Another annoying thing that goes with this is I have issues connecting to my parties game I got into a game once but then the game never started. When I go to the Roster screen it starts by saying join able then flashes red to not join-able. It seems like some kind of network problem or something it was giving me an error saying that I am using an open NAT connection which I thought was good and has never given me any problems before and all my other games work fine.

Any thoughts?

This has nothing to do with the topic but I’m totally new to halo I love the story though but any way I’m having this crazy glitch at the title screen where there are no words. Or on the hub pause menu if I get the campaigh running. Someone please tell me how to fix this crap.

TRAVISROSE, can you start your own thread regarding your issue as they are different.

Corvice, it sounds like you may be having some connection issues, which would explain why you’re also having trouble connecting to parties. Do you happen to know what your upload and download speed is? You can test it by visiting speedtest.net.
