Ok so I started playing 2 days ago. I managed to join a free for all death match yesterday, but today it searches for 5 mins then tells me Unable to Join or no games to join. i just sit there in the lobby and it tells me it is 1/12 or 1/8 players.

this isnt normal is it? whats occuring?

also... is it not possible to bring up a list of games already underway so i can pick and choose, or can u only tell them which game format u want and then be auto-assigned?

its because the new maps came out today and everyone trying to play online at the same time. It should be back normal later.(hopefully)

the match making service has been slow for most of the day like i was able to get on earlier but now i cant

microsoft have messed up the service somehow and are workin towards fixin it :\

ok thanks, still cant join any games, its been 24 hours now

i see my friend is playing, tried to join him but apparently i dont have the map he is playing

this is a bit of a joke

I think you'll have to bear with it bud. Normal maps seemed to work okay for me yesterday everning but no new maps. I had to play a private match to go on the new ones.

so i buy the stimulus package, and go to my friend and now it doesnt give me the option to join his game. i assume its coz his game is full?

i have a headache.

*** i got in a game eventually, but only by joining friend's game

hope its fixed soon

i think its because of the connection ur connected to its slow exspectly on wireless

yeah i did notice my connection was low when i was in a game compared to others

and now i'm trying to join my friend and i get the message:

Your playlist data is newer than the host's. you will be unable to play with them until they restart the new to get the new playlists.

wtf?

Your friend has to quit the game and go back into it. There's a new patch been released and he doesn't have it.

I got the same thing so i quiet the game and i restarted the game and it worked

well it was ok for a bit, could even join games on my own, but now its back to just leaving me hanging in the lobby

*my connection isnt wireless, and i have good broadband speeds

i'm playing bf2 mc fine on the ps2

yeah man mine has been doing it for like 2 and a half weeks now, except mine just gets to testing matches screen and always finds 0/50... only way i can play is to find someone online and join.. starting to annoy me... been doing it ever since the stimulus pack was brought out..
