Player Connection Issues

I know the servers went down earlier but for almost everyone on my friends list they r back up they see 100000 or so ppl online while i see about 1000

they all can play together but i cant play with them and they cant play with me.

ive tried turning off my xbox had them turn off their xbox
i tried ejecting the disc and sitting on dashboard and so have they and still nothing

can someone plz tell me how to fix this…

now i just restarted my router and i still cant join and neither can they

btw my NAT is open

I’m having loads of trouble connecting to servers and playing with someone sat next to me who is playing online. It’s ridiculous.

Also my loadouts have reset.

i disconnected my xbox and reconnected it and my NAT went from open to moderate what is that about?..

also i personaly have not had any issues with my loadouts reseting but thats another thing to add to the list of things 343 needs to fix all of which need to be fixed ASAP
