Well after changing my time, time zone, and changing daylight savings time 3 different times I am now able to get past the screen where it says that xbox live is down, check your internet, and check your pc time. Now with that being said I am glad that I can actually play the game but now I have issues with the sound. I can hear the background music but as far as hearing someone talk or hearing guns or nades going off I do not. I have checked the drivers for my audio and checked drivers for my audio output but nothing has fixed it. Just in case someone has ran into this problem and found a fix around it please let me know. Hopefully changing the time like I did several times may allow you to get past this problem.
