The Halo 4 servers are not available. Please try again later. Matchmaking switched to default playlists.
It was working all day then suddenly I started having huge lag spikes and connection issues, then I get this message after I restart my Xbox.
Halo 4 is LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE
I’m unbelievably dissatisfied with this game right now!
Okay.
I am still able to play so… and with no lag too! It’s just you. It’s not 343’s fault, quit putting blame where blame is not due.
You expect a perfect game where everything has been tested 7-8 times before release?
I can name you one franchise that NEVER has any problems at release, due to the multiple betas that came every year before it.
Seriously ofcourse Halo 4 has issues. ALL games have issues at release.
Go play other games in the meantime and then come back later.

Every other game works just fine, others have gotten it too.
It’s just Halo 4, believe me if it was me, well I wouldn’t have posted it.
Halo: Reach works beautifully, no lag, I can connect to everything.
I’ve restarted my router, modem, everything and I’m still getting this message, ONLY in Halo 4.
to be fair there are issues with the servers kept putting me back to sr1 not giving me my proper load outs kept defaulting to map load outs.
put in other games and used IE on the xbox everything else is fine
so its acting up but seems to be random who gets hit by it
Edit: even my avatar not showing here on waypoint???
can’t get onto stats!!!

This happened to a friend of mine a day or two ago. He was not very happy.
My loadouts reset twice already.
I’m SR 67 and I would have loved to get some game play for a commentary and play some s-ops.
Guess, 343 doesn’t want people playing their game. 
Why would you need a beta for effing?
SHIRAYUKIXHIME how did you get that purple visor
I work 9-5 in college 4 nights a week doesn’t leave much time for playing games and when i do I would like it to work!!!
weekend gone was first time i got good run at halo 4 and for the most part it ran fine but was serious lag issues at times. but over all I do like halo 4 but to say it is the best MP in the halo franchise bit over the top. It is better than reach but way behind halo 3 and halo 2
Get over it OP servers crash.
Its not just him you -Yoink- tards hes been put on a backup server as have I and it has maybe 150-200 people on it at most and we cant play with any of our friends
Dude. It’s just you and the people with terrible internet. Try not playing on wifi from mcdonalds
> Dude. It’s just you and the people with terrible internet. Try not playing on wifi from mcdonalds
I have very good internet thank you and its a RANDOM thing the main server trafic is to high so they put random people on the crappy ones

smh . simple minded peon. go play call of duty … and i totally agree with halo 4 and the -Yoink- up servers . couldn’t play all day yesterday. because it kept saying that the servers were unavailable. tried trouble shooting throughout the day and still didn’t work until early 2morrow morning which is today actually.
This happened to me the other day, then I reset my router and it worked. Check your network settings, the game tells you your NAT type.
If you don’t have Open NAT then go do some Port Forwarding on your router to fix it.

Okay.
Literally every shooter that comes out is messed up somehow right away.
Listen to you people. Games don’t have problems upon release? No. Not all games. But this game has had soo many problems to name a few. Campaign issues, Multiplayer and now Spartan ops is having trouble.
Let me just mention something. If you’re a fan of Bungie you would have watched the ViDocs of Reach and read the Weekly updates. They had the Beta for Reach with ODST, which in fact revealed over (which they personally logged) 55 thousand glitches. With all the new systems they added (Imposter engine) and game enhancements (AA’s) there were sure to be problems as they were brand new. This was Bungie’s 6th game. By this time they sure knew what they were doing and still found so many bugs. Since this is 343i’s first game and no Beta, try to count on all of the glitches they haven’t found.
The:
cutscene issue in Campaign (Still no mention of it being resolved. Just them questioning your xbox as if it’s YOUR problem.)
Waypoint freezing your xbox when you transfer to it from Halo 4 (It’s our problem. We should re-install. Well no, I did this many times. Ever considered you messed up the coding?)
When I see the XP screen, sometimes the rank bar is small and doesn’t move at all. (A small issue but something a Beta would have cleared up your precious “Gold” game)
The warthog wheels don’t contact the surface. (In Spartan Ops Ep 1 ch 1 the colliding surface between the wheels and the visual ground has a clearance of (in game) about half a foot. Rushed much? The warthog seems like it’s floating. Poor developing for a game which took 3 years)
These are just some of the things which bug me. Don’t get me started on you ripping the plasma launcher sounds for the plasma grenade or the Warthog being trashed. It’s been the same with increasing graphics and realistic dimensions and you seemed to ruin a 10 year recipe. The constant vehicle runs in Campaign? Every 2 levels Chief seems to be crashing and destroying the vehicle? Bungie much? And someone tell me why every time you re-spawn in a vehicle run, the vehicle is brand new? What challenge do you pose to us vets if you’re just going to cater to the infants of Reach?
OP. I agree. A BETA is what was needed. I don’t care if this game was being hidden because it’s a massive comeback for the Halo universe. It’s ruining gamers experience, it’s ruining fans experience and it’s just becoming a headache and a hassle that we have to report all the problems you should have addressed months ago.
And last thing. I almost forgot. Chief can’t randomly jump off a tower, hit a Linch and stab it with a knife into a hull. Just no ok? No. And he can’t survive slipspace by “hiding”. ¬_¬
It’s literally ruined the story for me.
BETA FTW.
Server crashes are only one of the many problems… There’s a LOT of reasons they should have done a Beta. I’ve been saying that to myself since launch when everything was messed up. Constantly I’ve had things happen, and tweeks that need fixing that made me say… “this is why you do a beta”
I think the game that had the worst server problems close to Halo 4 was Battlefield 3, but they cleared that up a week later.
But for Halo 4…NO something get’s fixed a new bug or glitch arises.
It’s completely ridiculous.
343 either needs to give us something to make up for this atrocity or they will lose a lot of die hard fans.
And NO Spartan Ops is not cutting it.
