OK, First off I have been placed in the default playlist sinse 1 hour after purchase for two days now.
I have attempted any and all solutions suggested.
I decided to clear cache and delete/download my profile.
I logged back into Xbox, started up halo 4 and alas I am now back on the regular servers .... but wait whats happening, I WATCHED MYSELF BE PUT BACK INTO DEFAULT SERVERS.
profile issue. nothing you can do.
