So I was really excited for Halo 4, and I went to the midnight release and picked up my copy for a wopping $60.00.
Cool.
I then find out I need to go out and purchase a flashdrive just to play the game. Okay whatever. An additional 40.00 spent.
So I go home to play, did everything correctly as far as installing with disc 2 and popping the play disc in and starting up the game, and BAM. Every single time I try and join infinity matchmaking it connects me, I see the other players , I vote on a map, it counts down and then my game resets. Takes me back to the beginning sponsors and main menu. Every single time.
I am absolutely 100% connected to xbox live. AND other games like call of duty and borderlands work perfectly fine online.
My player status says "Not joinable". I have messed around with the settings, making sure I am set up to play online, and that I am connected.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have purchased an entirely new flashdrive thinking this was the problem. I have returned my halo 4 and gotten a different copy. I have tried every single thing I could POSSIBLY think of.
I also am not able to join any of my friends games. It's infuriating. So much wasted money.
I called xbox support, and waited over an HOUR on the phone with the guy who had no idea what to do to fix the issue, inevitably saying he just didn't know, and "sorry".
I'm just livid at this point. Here I am negative -$120.00 and the game STILL will not play.
I feel helpless. And the worse part is, I have seen several other posts about people complaining of the SAME issue, and have gotten zero replies.
Right now I want to throw this game in the trash.
