I'm having this trouble with ALL xbox live matchmaking. It seriously sucks. I just (tried to) play 40 minutes, I got in one whole game.

Can no one but Bungie get multiplayer halfway right without patching?

I hate this too. I've only played 2 full matches since friday because I can't connect. I used to play Player Matches on GOW1 and by the time the main menu screen was up, I would be playing a match in less than a minute. They took out public non-ranked matches though for GOW2 which was a terrible idea. I liked being able to pick a match I wanted to play and play with the same group of people in as many different matches as I want without having to make a private match. All they have now is ranked matches now, so you get booted from the lobby after it is over and have to wait another 20 minutes to start a new match, it's ridiculous.

At least the single player game is great so far though.
