I just finished a fun game of Invasion, and afterwards I got the message: “Matchmaking was aborted because of network difficulties.”
Then I can’t press the “start matchmaking button” because it says "Halo Reach servers temporarily unavailable.
WTF 343?
It is an Xbox LIVE issue, not just Halo: Reach.
Completely out of 343’s control.
I am aware there was maintenance testerday, but I thought they fixed it all yesterday.
Thanks for claryifying.
I’m trying to play Reach too 
Is it up yet?
Guess it’s time for borderlands…
I’ll take a quick look.
Well, my xbox let me sign in and didn’t give me a “could not sign in to Xbox Live” error.
(crosses fingers)
The servers should be back up now! 
YES its working!!!
Sorry to bump this but, is maintenance being performed today? I can’t play matchmaking, or see my spartan in the lobbies.
This was a different issue.
It seemed to be with 343’s servers today. My guess is that they are/were too lazy to give us advance warning.
Incredible.

Or they went down temporarily, unexpectedly?
Are they back up?

It would be nice of 343 if they could even let us know what happened.
But no.
The Halo reach servers are unavailable again!
