Serious Problems Online

Lately it is impossible to play the Halo Reach multiplayer. We spend almost / more than 10 minutes in the room because the game does not find players for the match, and when it finds, all players disappear before the polling maps appear and we are redirected to search players online again. When we get a lot of cost to enter a multiplayer match the same is full of lag and / the server starts to take players from the game (In all games is happening) at all times. Sometimes when I enter the game it also appears the phrase “The Halo Reach server is offline” or when some friend enters my room or tries to enter a “Halo Reach server could not load the information”, these phrases get for a few seconds / minutes and then disappear, only after that the host can start the search. This problem has been occurring since the beginning of January and only gets worse every day. It’s awful.

There have been a few posts about server issues lately and that has been caused by the maintenance that 343i has been performing. Your issue might be because of that.

We Reach enthusiasts have a post featuring an actual 343 response about this…if you scroll down a bit you’ll see a thread that starts with [343 response], just read through that. Supposedly they will be fixing this issue at the end of the month. Don’t hold your breath.

I’ve been having a lot of similar problems as well. The connection breaks up just as players for a game are found, or one person on the team lags out before the game starts. The servers love giving host to people with tacobell internet and as a result the entire match is just a mess. I’ve been running into quite a few aimbotters that nobody is willing to take care of, so it is an understatement to say that reach has problems. Acronyms like FUBAR or NFG are more appropriate.

Weird the day this was posted I had no problems. But today I had a couple hiccups nothing big just got the message we had to abort matchmaking due to network difficulties a couple of times.
