I did port forwarding with the help of Xbox Live Tech Support (via Twitter) a few months ago. It stuck for a week, and that was the last solution in a long line of them. I'll call Comcast (barf) when I get back from camping.

Worst upcoming 3 months of my life!
Well there's your problem! I hate dealing with Comcast customer support... did you turn off the modem and turn it back on... can you do that again.... oh its not us, it must be on your end.....
I just get angry right away and demand to speak with a supervisor. It normally gets the job done.
You could just do what I am doing and play Halo 3 and actually have fun.

Watching Iowa State football players recover our fumbles since 2009?
Nebraska/Iowa rivalry is so vanilla and will be about as exciting as the Nebraska/Colorado one.

Sadly this is true. Spent $150 for Reach LE... Not worth it. Investing in Halo 4 LE sounds good. Most Gaffers here getting LE or just Standard?

Iowa State recovering those fumbles. Still one of my all time favorite ISU games. Nebraska had what, 9 turnovers in Lincoln?
Enjoy the Big 10.

When I'm standing there at midnight waiting on my LE copy of H4, I'll remember that day as the day I never have to play Reach again. My body is ready...

By the end of that one it stopped being sad and turned into a hilarious show. We were actually rooting for Iowa State to break 10 at that point

edit2: speaking of football, something the Canadians get right. We should have this rule.
What kind of router do you have Ghal?
Having used the same Comcast line as yourself, I've had nary an issue in the past.
Reach is more fun than Halo 3.

Happy birthday dude!
It's your birthday? Hb
I've recently went back and played a bunch of games of Halo 3 and realized how dated it feels. The movement speed is so slow it feels like I'm playing the game in slow motion much of the time. The jump is also wonky and is too floaty. The BR is very inconsistent. When your shots land it is satisfying though.
The sniper is not as satisfying as the Reach snipe as well. Might just be the sound of it but can't put my finger on it. The slow movement speed also makes sniping easier in some ways but headshots are harder I think.
Purely game mechanics wise I definitely think that Reach MLG > H3. Too bad there are only like 5 maps in matchmaking and half of them are forged.

Reach is better over XBL IMO
LAN i'd probably say H3 is better.

The IP address assigned to your Xbox might have changed. You can setup your 360 to always have the same IP address. You might want to check to make sure the ports you forwarded are still going to the IP address that is given to your 360 by your router.
Well duh
Halo 3's netcode is balls.If Halo 3 had Reach's netcode, I'd be set, even if Halo 4 multiplayer wasn't good.

I like me some Halo 2 over Xbox Live... oh wait....
I use it, but as FyreWulff said... joining games is asking for modders, and my connection is spotty when hosting... I'm fighting with comcast over my upload speed which is severely hampering my ability to host quality games.

Canadians get a lot right (just got back from holiday in Toronto), but this rule in football is... odd.
Xbox Connect?
Enjoy your modders

or
Xlink Kai?
XBSlink?
How is that any different than XBL? lol
At least on xbc you can boot them.
The last Halo 2 update (1.5) pretty much eradicated the last of the modders. Unfortunately, it was also after everyone had mostly moved on
I use Xlink Kai but only South Americans play Halo 2. The only problem with it is that there really isn't a variety of maps people play on. Its either Lockout or Beaver Creek.

In my Xbox Connect experience, its been, shitty connections everywhere, no one playing, douchebags playing wrong. If you are getting lucky good for you.
The CCs were generally against its removal until the reasons were revealed.
"Don't poke the bear that feeds you", is how i would put it.
Also, Burnie Burns gives great hugs.
RvBTO? (Why would anyone else from a gaming forum holiday there?)

I disagree, I think the Reach sniper isn't satisfying to use. It's too easy

i havent been on xbc in a couple months but last time I went on I didn't run into any modders. had some fun ffa's
It's needs some organization.
Yo Cyren and other THC nerds. Pick a day out of the week, or once every 2 weeks and make that Halo 2 XBC day. Spread the word and get people used to having a certain day set aside for Halo 2. Let's say it's Tuesdays. Every Tuesday people will have other people to play H2 with. Done and done.
True. If i can get 2 Perfections in BTB with (mostly) the Sniper in the same week, in close evenly matched games with full teams, there is definitely something wrong with it.
At my best i know i am not worthy of a Perfection Medal.

Or you could play halo 2 vista. I know we have a 1v1 vista tourney going right now.
Thanks for the birthday wishes people
Hah - didn't even realize I was there during RvBTO. Actually chose Toronto for a variety of reasons. It was on a loop we wanted to drive, it had been over 10 years since I passed through the city, and it's great multicultural place with outstanding food and architecture. Also it was a superb place to see a Sigur Ros concert as it wasn't a music festival. They were brilliant by the way.

A lot of people need carrots, hence numbers, credits, vanity crap. Personally I don't but whatever.

I'd say more people have H2 than H2 Vista.
And happy birthday. May all your nerd wishes come true

I can't even run H2V, so I would appreciate a H2 XBC night

Seriously, this. GET A DD-WRT ROUTER. Some may cost a little more, but it's worth the investment to use your connection and network however you wish with minimal hassle and no arbitrary issues because manufacturer firmware is terrible (especially belkin/netgear). With the opensource firmware solution, there is a potential for the latency to actually decrease as well, because you are only running the router functions that you want.
Granted it may take some technical know-how, but the rewards are about as good as you are going to get save from getting an industrial-purposed device.
I don't do XBC, seems like way too much effort to setup.
You can actually just buy the Cisco Linksys E1000 as a refurb on amazon for $19.99. It's fairly straight forward to put DD-WRT on it if you're patient enough to follow directions exactly as they're written. It might not be the easiest for everyone to do, but it will give you an absolutely rock solid router for $20 + 30 minutes of work.
