Xbox Live help!?

I got an xbox for Christmas and i only have a memory card.A few days ago i created an xbox live account and it worked fine.But the next morning I tried to play and on Halo 3 it says "Matchmaking requires an Xbox Live Membership with permission to play multiplayer over Live." I have silver membership and the marketplace works.I created another account and it did not work either.Any suggestion??

Xbox Live help!?
You might have to get gold membership to access multiplayer features.
Reply:well I don't know what you get for a silver account but, I have a gold membership. So if you want it to work for two players you have to go to your family settings and allow it to let you access it.
Reply:u need a gold membership to play games online.





silver just allows u to log on and look at content and stuff
Reply:because u need a gold membership go to nearest store and purchase a one month gold membership and then u get the full aspects of live.
Reply:yeah what these people said. whats you persons name?
Reply:You have to have a gold membership to play online silver only lets you download things
Reply:You need a GOLD account to play multiplayer online with XBL.





Silver only allows you access to the marketplace and buy stuff.
Reply:The silver membership onliy gives you access to the Dashboard. you need to start a Gold membership.


How do I play online on Halo 3?

I just got halo 3 and i want to play it online. I already have xbox live. I just don't know how to get it started/get in a lobby/etc. on the halo 3 main menu there is start solo game, campaign, matchmaking, custom games, forge, and theater. there is nothing that says xbox live like most other games do. i just want to play halo 3 on xbox live with a bunch of people.

How do I play online on Halo 3?
Good ol' Matchmaking. It will allow you to choose what mode you want. (Lone Wolves, TS, Big Team and so on)...then start search....easy as that





It takes a minute. Just let it do its thing after you select start matchmaking :-)
Reply:Go to matchmaking, than from there select the playlist you want to play.





Have fun my Gamertag is AndrewM92, hope I see ya around.
Reply:i go on matchmaking. make sure that all of the info in the matchmaking description is correct. i think that is where u choose whether u want a big team battle or somthing. i havent played for a while, but im sure this works. when u r ready you press start matchmaking.
Reply:I use matchmaking. It's easier to use cause you just wait for people to join your game.

When there's more than 4 people on your team you have to press anyway on the D-Pad to be able to speak.
Reply:Press up on the D-pad (cross)

XBOX Live wireless NAT?

Does anyone know how to switch my wireless NAT to "Open" rather than "Moderate" or "Strict"? I log on to matchmaking and it says my connection will be slow due to this, and it is. I have a Belkin router.

XBOX Live wireless NAT?
In order to configure the Router to connect to X-Box Live - you need to forward the following Ports :





UDP 88 ,UDP 3074,TCP 3074





In order to find out the IP Address of your X-Box, check the Network Settings of the X-box Dashboard !!





Follow this steps to open Ports on your Router :


On a hardwired comp ( LAN cabled to the router ) open 192.168.2.1


Click login-press submit( guess u have not set any PW


Click on Virtual servers


CLick the box which says Enable


In description- type X-box,Inbound port use 88,select type UDP, private ip enter the one of your x-box, private port-enter 88


Follow same steps for UDP 3074 %26amp; TCP 3074 accordingly


Once done-scroll down and click apply changes-that's it ,this shld work !
Reply:If you're familiar with logging-into your networking equipment, you should add the Xbox360 to your DMZ [De-Militarized Zone] port. That will keep your Belkin router from interfering with the way your Xbox360 accesses Xbox Live. That's what usually fixes everybody I know to Open NAT.





You may want to call up Belkin and they may be able to walk you through how to access your router and configure a wireless DMZ port.





Otherwise, you may have some more configuration to take care of.





***Also, if you don't feel like putting the Xbox360 on the DMZ, please ensure that UPnP [universal plug-n-play] is enabled in your router.***


How awesome is playstation home going to be??!?!?

i believe that the new playstation home set to be open this spring around april is going to the new myspace for ps3 users! its going to be awesome and possibly a matchmaking service as well as a social network and its all for free!!!! top that Xbox 360 and Wii!!! haha

How awesome is playstation home going to be??!?!?
I guess it'll be great if you like that sort of thing. Personally if I'm in a virtual 3d environment I would rather shoot at other people than talk to them or show them my furniture. But it sounds cool enough that I will probably make an apartment etc.





Since there are already virtual 3d networking "spaces" for PC I imagine it will be popular. If it makes more people buy ps3's, more power to it. I doubt I'll spend much time on it though.





In particular nobody will look like what they look like in real life.
Reply:it will be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Sounds even more stupid and pointless than myspace, a total waste of development time which could have been used for something fun instead.





Looks like it will be as boring as the sims, and its not totally free there will be some content which must be paid for, why anyone would want to play a game of dress up and house decoration is beyond me.


Halo 3 Xbox Live Question!?

I have a Silver account and I am able to play online. However, when I go on matchmaking, it keeps saying that "Some gamer profiles do not have permission to play on Xbox Live. Please select a gamer profile that has permission to play online." What does this mean?

Halo 3 Xbox Live Question!?
I'm almost positive that it requires a Gold membership to use their online matchmaking service. Therefore you must upgrade your account to Gold in order to take advantage of it. If you just bought the xbox, then you can use the free 1 month membership that comes with it.
Reply:im preaty sure that you need to be a gold to use matchmaking


Error 33 Call of Duty 4 on PS3?

Hi there


I keep getting this Error 33 message when i try to play online. I managed to get a game earlier today but then it packed up and ever since it has just been saying "Downloading game settings" for a while and then "Error Unable to connect to Activision Matchmaking (Error 33).


Thats it!


Anyone know what i can do about it?

Error 33 Call of Duty 4 on PS3?
I sometimes get that as well. It is something to do with your ISP, however there is not much you can do. Just leave and try again later is what I do.
Reply:I get it at peak hours due to my ISP (Tiscali). Unless you change your ISP there is no way around it sadly. So i changed mine.

How do you get on Live on your Xbox 360?

I've done Matchmaking, which is kind of like live but with only 4 people. I have an account and everything along with a working signal. So where on your Xbox 360 do you go to to get online for Live?

How do you get on Live on your Xbox 360?

Reply:some arcade games can be played online otherwise insert a game,look for xbox live or multiplayer menu.


I'm confused i can't understand my husband?

In general,my husband is a good person inside,i know that,but some of his actions,made me asume the worst,even when things are fine.I'm a jealous person,and i'm starting to make our life hard by the daily struggle but i just can't help it.I've been married for two years,we have a beautiful 10 months old girl.He made several mistakes in the beginning of our marriage,and less but still until now.He has awandering eye,i started to notice that he treats me differently after he interacts with a beautiful girl,i caught him opening matchmaking sites,called a porn line when i was away,and lied about it,sneeked to a neighbours window cause they dress like horns,he always finds a strong excuse and he has a way in manipulating,but the majority time i feel his love for me in his eyes,i'm not stupid i can tell,he's a good father too,but when he does something like those i go back to wondering again,is he a good candidate as a cheater?Or he's just a normal guy?I wish i can explain more but no space

I'm confused i can't understand my husband?
Hes a creep............spying on people..........get real
Reply:No, he is NOT a good father. A good father shows respect to women in general and the mother of his child in particular. How he treats you will teach your daughter what kind of treatment to expect from men. I would not want this kind of treatment for her - or for you.





When making a judgment of staying married, you observe actions - not words. If what people say does not agree with actions - go by their action. It is how someone actually treats you that tells you how much they care, respect, honor and cherish you. This guy demonstrates none of those qualities. I wonder what about your husband would cause you to say he is "a good perosn inside"? I see no demonstration of that, do you?





I don't think he is a good candidate as a cheater - he IS a cheater. Get smart, Sweetie!





How someone treats you initially is how they treat people - period!
Reply:Oh sweetie, he's just a normal, guy! They are basically all the same. The law of the human jungle dictates that man must spread his genetics as far and wide as is possible. And hopefully not get caught in the act! It's a basic instinct. They should learn to control it, and many do, like your husband, but it doesn't stop him from window shopping! Don't you ever look at a cute guy from time to time and wonder? It's normal. It's human. Stop being paranoid, enjoy your gorgeous baby...and welcome to the real world!
Reply:tell you now dump him
Reply:move on
Reply:I don't know your husband. I can't say whether or not he is or could be a cheater. But from what you are describing, it seems that he doesn't respect you. Respect is as important as fidelity, if not more important.
Reply:I'd have to admit he is boarder line, could go either way...and that is fairly normal for anyone man or women....it doesn't sound like he has crossed the line but the important issue is that he know the consequences to his actions...so once faced with such a decision he will think before he acts...make him perfectly clear that you won't tolerate or accept cheating nor acts that could lead up to it...give him the opportunity to prove himself...and decide for yourself if he is normal or someone out of control ...good luck.
Reply:Nothing to worry...He's just a normal guy. Start worrying if he starts to be attracted to men. Also excessive jealousy can only kill his love for you.





"Love is like a little bird in your hand". Squeeze it tight and it will die. On the other hand, hold it too loose and it will fly. Jealousy in moderation is a sign of love. So I think your marriage will be just fine if you pratice "moderation."
Reply:his a perv
Reply:no one deserves to be cheated on and a marriage last through trust if no trust then forget abou t it.
Reply:I think that you need to sit down with him and lay everything out on the table and start being more open to him. But do bear in mind, sometimes men are men. they like looking at girls, they like porn. But if you think his behaviour is over the limit then its time to talk to him. Nonetheless, men will always be men and you cant separate them from oggling at women and porn.
Reply:Its difficult to know for definite just from your description but I trust my boyfriend 100% and he does not act like that at all. He is attentive, doesn't look at other women and treats me really well. I couldn't live like you are. I would find it really difficult to cope with, if I had any doubts at all. I wish you all the best with whatever happens.
Reply:Your husband sounds like me when i was that way a few years ago. Only i was worse and had a affair with another woman for 5 years. My wife found out and of course she became mad, but she decided to take positive steps and started to focus on herself. Trying to look pretty, exercising, becoming slim, developing a nice bosom, being more nice to me. Eventually, i came around and realized what i had become and now our marriage is still intact after 16 yrs together. It also helped me/us when we became Christians. There are a lot of advices the Bible gives on faithfulness in marriage and about sexual standards and that has helped me deal with my own wandering eye and mind. Good luck. Andretti
Reply:He sounds like a freak.
Reply:He is deceiving you and lying to you about it. Do not trust this man who already has transgressed your relationship. He obviously has a roving eye and probably feels that he hasn't *sown his wild oats yet*.


This is not a normal husband.





Your husband may have his sexual appetites curbed when he gets arrested for voyerism, and trespassing for the intent of privacy violations.





I'd question the future of a marriage with a man I could not trust.
Reply:Stated like a truly confused wife.You know he has a wandering eye,he visits dating sites,calls porn lines and unless i didn`t get you right,peeps at your neighbours through their window so pleeease,what don`t you understand?He`s got the makings of a well-rounded pervert and here you are deluding yourself thet he loves you and then blaming your neighbours for dressing like whores(i think you meant).I`m sorry,but this bloke isn`t just a cheater, he`s a PERVERT!
Reply:This is a controlling situation where you are being belittled and made to feel that you are in the wrong. Jealous people do tend to read into innocent things so if you said he was looking at women in the street or watches Home and Away for the birds then I would tell you to calm down. However, he is actually going on dodgy websites and acting like a peeping Tom so I am afraid I don't think what he is doing is right. You are a jealous person and if anything, he needs to reassure you - not go all out to get the reaction. I seriously think you need to give him some ground rules. Either he keeps his beady eyes off others or you will ask him to leave. You deserve a man who pays attention to you. You have just had a baby and women are less confident in the first year of a baby's life. He should be supportive and attentive to what he has - not some tarts who are meaningless out there.
Reply:Hello??? He's spying on other women??? That is not normal at all. You need to get him into a counseling program because he needs help. Stop making excuses for his behavior and encourage him to get some help instead. I mean it's okay if you glance at somebody for a split second but staring and people, especially someone of the opposite sex is not right. Yes, he is what I would call a cheater.
Reply:Sorry, but you picked a bad one. At the end of the relationship, when you finally have gathered an enormous list of his unsuitable actions and or affairs; how old do you think your daughter will be? This is her example of what man and fathers are supposed to be like. I don't think he is a good role model. But, i know, you love him.
Reply:I would guess that you two are kind of young. The problem started long before all the stuff you described.





Talk to your own parents first.





The both of you are displaying REACTIONARY behavior not PROACTIVE.





He is not a perv and you should be proud of yourself for trying to hold your family together
Reply:Call him on it.Talk to him about it.Explain he's treading on thin ice.Set up a boundery.If he persists do it all over again.By the fifth time you catch him you won't care anymore and divorce him.
Reply:For what it is worth heres my take.--I was married for 10-now divorced for 7yrs. (old f---er?-not that old and still act young)--but I realized that it just takes a lot of work. The porn, dating sites etc.---no good--but don't let anger cloud your judgement. There are 3 things I think you should do(cause it sounds like you do love him and respect his and your daughters needs as parent/child) 1) tell him and show him how much you love him and want him in your life and every good quality you can. 2)Let him know about your concerns with his behavour and how it effects you--and maybe your daughter too one day --as non-judgementally as possible(it'll probably be tuff--but try to keep any anger under wraps) 3) Assuming he has not reacted poorly-but seems willing to work-let him know that you know you can't be perfect either, and you'd love to hear from him if he thinks you have any harmful habits that concern him(fair is fair as long as its not stuff like'you always drive slow' or 'you never want to watch sports). The last thing you have to do together. Be honest. Both decide if you're willing to put 100% into keeping this thing going. If you give each other that committment then stick to it--wether its couseling, talking to your pastor, reading and discussing books together--its a lifetime committment. Whatever you do don't stay together 'for the sake of the child'. That is the most unfair thing you could do to your daughter. And if it doesn't work out--please keep him as involved in her life as much as possible-and don't let her see any resentment you may feel. I'm someone thats been down this road--good father, gambler, cheater, well liked community member, we humans are complex creatures-one could be all of the above. Judgung him before all possibilities are worked and you making sure YOUR house is clean will only create distance. I wish you the best--good luck--and search your heart--don't settle for -or give- anything but the best. For you, for him and of course for your child.
Reply:He's not NORMAL. Does this FEEL normal to you? Seriously, your heart already knows what type of man he is. Tell him you'll cut off his man-parts, put them in a blender and feed them to him for breakfast if he doesn't start treating you with respect. Seriously, men only take advantage of women who LET THEM.

Help me =[ I can't play call of duty 4 on my ps3 between 7pm and 11pm. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I looked this up and it's something to do with cod4 being a p2p network (like limewire or whatever) which tiscali limits during peek times. But they've been limiting it to the point that it doesn't work at all, it just comes up as "unable to connect to matchmaking (error 33)". Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this as my dad has just signed up for another year of tiscali ='[. Also, if I can't fix it do you think something will be done about this problem? Not being able to play the best game ever when i want to really sucks.

Reply:It could be tiscali although COD4's servers have been very faultly lately. It has been a bit better since they had some minor fixes. There should be a full update that will fix everything so just be patient and see if there is a new patch that will fix your problem. Good luck!


Did my GF cheated me?

we both were going on well, but due to some small reason we quarelled and didn't speak to each other for 3 months. Then i sent her an email telling asking sorry and to forget about the past. She asked me to talk to her parents for her and told that if they agree then she will get married to me. I did the same and even my mom spoke to her mother. Her mother did the match making and asked my GF that the matchmaking is average and what to do. At that time she said its ok and she is not interested in marriage for another 1 or 2 year and she didn't even supporte me. Later she told me that i didn't even bothered to talk to him for last 3 months and she doesn't have even 1 % feeling towards me. Is this true, do you people think that she will come back to me. She might have acted in anger or during some pressure. Please help me.

Did my GF cheated me?
what are you talking about. why are your mothers involved. and if someone waits 3 months before they talk to you it over! move on get a grip and don't involve your parents next time you have a relationship and not to be mean but did you graduate high school. did you proof read your question? and no i don't think she will come back. I would quit bothering her before you get into trouble

It will most likely return in Halo 3, because that game will have EVERYTHING a halo fan wants!


Can't play theatre or custom maps on Halo 3?

can play normal matchmaking games but whenever I try to watch a film in my OWN library, it says...

and it also says that when I try to play a Custom game with my own maps I have created...





Does that mean I have to BUY the new maps? Because that's lame...

Halo 3 Voice Communication Icons?

There is this icon that appears next to peoples names in matchmaking in Halo 3. Instead of a Speaker next to their name, there is a circle with a strikethrough in it. Like one of those no smoking signs or something. Can someone tell me what this sign means, and if it is a problem, how i can fix it?

Halo 3 Voice Communication Icons?
The guy above me is COMPLETELY wrong, the message means you are a member of Bungie.net , which are the official creators of the game, it isnt a problem, just a badge.

Sims 2 Phone Problem?

Recently, whenever I tried to get my Sims to call certain Services on the phone, they will either just not make the call, or they will make the call, talk for a moment, and then they suddenly just won't be on the phone anymore. It just skips past the part where the bubble comes up saying what the person on the other end says and what the options are. This happens with the maid, gardener, and adoption services. And I know the pet adoption and matchmaking services work as they should. This has only been a problem since I installed the Pets expansion pack, and I have reinstalled all the games since and the problem persists. Any advice anyone?

Sims 2 Phone Problem?
have you installed all the required patches for the game? Or if you have hacks or mods installed have you checked to see if they need to be updated for Pets. Pets did mess with a number of hacks and mods.


Is halo 2 better than halo 3??

imo i think halo 2 is a little better than halo 3. what do you guys think. in matchmaking you only get to play on about 3-4 maps. halo 2 had a lot more maps and they were better. i find myself playing on the same map over and over. and halo 2 seems like it took more skill but i dont know i dont feel like halo 3 is better than halo 2. also custom games on halo 3 are pretty gay now.

Is halo 2 better than halo 3??
im 100% with u man. all u ever get in halo 3 is like 4 different maps and they are no way near as good as the ones on halo 2!! i also dont like alot of the new weapons they added.... like gravity hammer...WTF? i liked my sword the way it used to be and why the hell cant i charge my plasma pistol for more that 10 seconds!!!!???.... ok ..... my rant is over =)

Reply:idk dude i think H3 is better
Reply:well, it's your opinion, but personally i think halo 3 is better cuz the main things:it has all (or most) of the features from halo 2, but in H3, theres better graphics more weapons, more features, and plus it's the sequel, unless it's a really awesome game, i just can't play prequels, except for halo combat evolved
Reply:I think the opposite of everyone. halo 2 is better then halo 1, halo 3 is better then halo 2.

Charity Days in London February 2008?

Hi everyone, I weork in London and my work would like to do some chairty findraising days this year, we already take part in the London Better Together day but wanted to kick off the year soon so thought we'd participate in something in February.





Does anyone know of any fun charity days happeing then? The Valentines day walk is a fab idea but everyone here is married so a matchmaking event wouldn't work!





Please let me know if you know something happening we could take part in!





Thanks, xxxxxx

Charity Days in London February 2008?
Charity that is concealeth appeaseth the wrath of God.





Prayers lighten the heart, and charity is proof of Iman (Faith), and abstinence from sin is perfect splendor; the Kuran is a proof of gain to you, if you do good, and it is a detriment to you if you do wrong; and every man who riseth in the morning either doeth that which will be the means of his redemption or his ruin.





Charity is a duty unto every Muslim. He who hath not the means thereto, let him do a good act or abstain from an evil one. That is his charity.





When you speak, speak the truth; perform when you promise; discharge your trust; commit not fornication; be chaste; have no impure desires; withold your hands from striking, and from taking that which is unlawful and bad. The best of God's servants are those who when seen, remind of God; and the worst of God's servants are those who carry tales about, and do mischief and separate friends, and seek for the defects of the good.





Whoso hath left debt and children, let him come to me; I am their patron, I will discharge his debt and befriend his children.





Every good act is charity.





Doing justice between two people is charity; and asisting a man upon his beast, and lifting his baggage is charity; and pure, comforting words are charity; and answering a questioner with mildness, is charity; and removing that which is an inconvenience to wayfarers, such as thorns and stones, is a charity.





Every good act is charity; and verily it is a good act to meet your brother with and open countenance, and to por water from your own water-bag into his vessel.





Your smiling in your brother's face is charity; and your exhorting man to virtuous deeds is charity; and your prohibiting the forbidden is charity; and your showing men the road, in the land in which they lose it, is charity; and your assisting the blind is charity.


Halo 3 online dificulties?

Ok so everyone has been experiencing problems with halo 3 online for the past few days, but now everything has been cleared up and the servers are up and running again. Well for some reason everytime i choose matchmaking, it will find enough players, but will restart the search for no aparent reason, even though everything has been fixed. I have plugged my xbox 360 into two different routers and it still does the same thing, and i know its not my NAT settings. Does anyone have any clue as to what could be happening? Is anyone else still experiencing problems? Thanks for your help.

I know what your talking about maybe because bungiee is haveing server problem... I can't get on live either too... I just went to a friend's house and it was fine... maybe it just your xbox? (probably not but you never know...)
Reply:I'm experiencing the same thing. Honestly, I don't know if Bungie.net has a high enough quality server for all of the people it has playing Halo on a daily basis. More than likely, we're gonna have to wait it out and hope XBox and Bungie can fix the problem. It has nuthing to do with any of your equipment.


Gears of war question?

what kind of shooter is it? i thought it was first person but i just a video and its more like third? how's the online? is it matchmaking like halo2? wat kind of weapons are there? wats the story behing it- who are we fighting?

Gears of war question?
its a third - person duck and cover game with many cool weapons such as my favorite machine-gun/chainsaw or the shotgun also theres the grenades, the boomshot (rocket-launcher), sniper, two versions of a pistol, and the hammer of dawn. online play is the main attraction for me but the single player is just as good. you fight the locust horde. A group of underground dwelling vermin who deserve nothing but death with is the main point of the game besides saving the plaint and all mankind.
Reply:Gears Of War is a Third Person Shooter, not a forst person. The online is great and is squad based, There aren't many weapons, but they are enough to keep players happy such as Shotguns, machine guns, sniper rifles, grenades and melee attacks on guns like the chainsaw.





The Story is About Marcus Fenix, a COG soldier, and a group of other soldiers. It does not take place on Earth but another planet. You are fighting another race called the "Locust" who seem to be trying to wipe out humanity.





I think it's a great game personally!
Reply:Gears of war is a 3rd person shooter.The game's campaign tells the tale of a man named Marcus Fenix. He, like the other soldiers around him, is an extremely thick dude that very clearly doesn't have time to bleed. The game immediately sets an action movie-like tone, complete with an interesting post-apocalyptic world that's been overrun by a mysterious force called the Locust. Marcus is a former soldier for the Coalition of Organized Governments, or COG. Their soldiers wear ridiculously huge, bulky armor, but can't be bothered to wear helmets. They're just that tough. Or stupid. Either way, Fenix is a former soldier that's been branded a traitor and locked away, but he's busted out of prison at the opening of the game, to help in the fight against the Locust. After a brief tutorial level where you and Dom, the soldier that busted you out, make your way out of the Locust-infested prison and, yes, get to the chopper, you're connected with the other members of Delta Squad and sent out to find Alpha Squad, which is both missing and supposedly in possession of a device that could turn the tide of the war. The game's story isn't very deep, and aside from a very brief mention in the front of the manual, it doesn't really bother to fill you in on the details behind the conflict or the main character's incarceration. The lack of exposition feels like a missed opportunity to make the characters and the setting even more compelling, and there are parts of the game that seem like they were built specifically to make room for some kind of flashback sequence, but the gameplay is so sharp that you probably won't care

Halo 3 keeps restarting on xbox live?

ok


i start to get a game on matchmaking and every time its got all the players loaded to play, it always restarts!! its getting me really pissed off

Halo 3 keeps restarting on xbox live?

Xbox live halo3 voice comunication??

ok so i have the headset (that comes with xbox360) that includes a microphone. i turn it on, make sure the volume is right up but when i talk in matchmaking, social slayer it doesnt seem that anyone hears me. also what is with the cross on the left of the player? does that mean that they cant talk? i really need help talking to people!! thankz in advance xxx


p.s can u say in steps how 2 communicate if possible

Xbox live halo3 voice comunication??
When talking with other people in the game, you have to press a direction on the D-pad to enable other players to hear you.





Steps:


1) Press a direction on the D-pad


2) Start talking





You don't have hold it down, just press a direction once and keep talking. Once you stop, people won't be able to hear you anymore. Just repeat steps 1,2 to start talking again.
Reply:you have to press any key on the D-pad and it will make a click sound and then you can talk. sometimes it cuts you off so if your saying a lot, you should hold the button down. the speaker insignia means that you have a microphone connected.
Reply:if there are more than 4 players on your team than you have to press up on the d-pad to talk...if there are less you dont have to...
Reply:i had this problem you have to press one of the d -pad buttons then you can talk but then if you stop talking you'll have to press it again sorry i am not sure which one just check hope this helps

In Halo 3. What is standbying??

I was in a matchmaking teamslayer, and was lagging the whole time.. i never played halo 2 so i just assumed this was normal lag. Then in my next game, my whole team was lagging all the way to like 1 red bar, and so was the other team. As soon as the lag died down a little bit for everyone, they had like a half full yellow bar, mine was still 1 red bar... Then my team started to get mad at me.. Saying they hated standbyers and would report me.. i tried to tell them i had no idea what they were talking about.. but they just said "dont play stupid with me!"


What is standbying?? is this somthing i can fix.. cause i would much rather have a smooth connection lmao..


PLEASE HELP! thank you ^^

In Halo 3. What is standbying??
It's when a player intentionally presses the "standby" button on his/her modem so that everyone in the game would freeze except for the cheater, so that the cheater would be given all the time the cheater needs to accomplish an objective in the game. Exploitation of this glitch may result in an indefinite ban on your Xbox Live Account.





Stop using dial-up and use a different distrubutor. Ex. Comcast or Vonage





If players keep reporting you, Microsoft will think something is going on.
Reply:Why dont you get out of the house and do something better for a living....


stop playing halo 3


it has to many gliches


Halo 3 xbox live?

Matchmaking finds hundreds of games, but never finds any possible matches.

Halo 3 xbox live?
Have patience.





It happens sometimes, but it will sort itself out if you wait - and matchmaking will get better if you don't choose options such as closest skill etc.





Generally if there are tens of thousands of players (or more) on the playlist you select, your chances of finding a game are much better!

I Need NAT Router Help, NOW! Xbox 360!?

I have a Linksys WRT 54G wireless router. I recently go an Xbox 360 and plugged it in to Xbox Live wired. I used an ethernet cable and plugged it into the router port. It connects to Xbox Live and I can play matchmaking. However, I cant play any friends or anything on my friends list, and accept any game invites. It comes up with a message saying NAT type set to strict, and set it to open.





Basically, I have tried one thing that said it would work, which is going to Administrator and enabling UPnp. Which I did, and it still doesnt work.





This is getting really frustrating, and I hope you can help. Thanks so much guys.





*I will definetly pick a best answer*

I Need NAT Router Help, NOW! Xbox 360!?
From Linksys Setup, Basic Setup you need to set MTU to manual and enter 1492 as a value.





Administration, Management you need to make sure UPnP is enabled. In addition you can also enable the following ports (see link below) from Applications and Gaming menu.





Good luck!

Only Halo 2 Pros!!!...how can i get more kills in Hardcore?

i am a 34 in ts, 33 in dt, 30 in hc





for some reason my lil cousin always gets way more kills than me in hardcore or double team.....we both are equally the same in the skill level but when playing matchmaking its as if he is always in the right place at the right time to kill his opponents....





he gets 36 kills and i get 22 kills in hc....in dt he gets 19 kills and i get 11 kills...this is just an average... what might he do that i dont do....i asked him this question but he says he just goes out and kills his oppenents...he says he doesn't have a certain way of doing it....





my lil cuz is 36 in ts, 34 in dt, and 31 in hc...ive seen him play on his screen but i dont know what he does different.....what coukd it be that makes him get way more kills than me???

Only Halo 2 Pros!!!...how can i get more kills in Hardcore?
practice, practice, practice, theres no real way besides playing alot.
Reply:practice makes perfect


you can play the maps solo and find the best spots


make sure you are good at long and close range


carry plasma grenades to stick people and always have a good long range wep and close range wep


(shotgun, sniper rifle)


know all the maps and sniper spots in them


the close range weapon is in case someone gets close to you


if there are strong vehicles have a rocket launcher instead of shotgun so you can destroy the vehicle


if you know a good spot you can see everything and kill everybody


Sims 2 question?

Hey! i have this teen who called the matchmaking service.. and paid 5000 $ 4 a date.... it was gratee..but now i try calling her and it appears the ''answering machine''.. is there anyway i can see her again? i guess it's because she doesnt have a phone or anything.. but she's not in the family bin

Sims 2 question?
It is probably because she is not home.. If she had no phone, it would let you know otherwise. Try calling her a few more times, and see if she answers
Reply:if she has an answering machine she has a phone...


keep trying to call, wait a Sim hour, and call


and or be on the look out she might walk by your house
Reply:she might walk past your house or if you're friends with her %26amp; the relationship is fading, she could call you. or she could just call anyways.
Reply:HUH?
Reply:keep on calling, and you can schedule a date again, also you can try and find the house she lives in and buy her a phone if that is the reason she isn't answering.





Good luck with your game, I love the Sims 2 too
Reply:All you have to do is keep calling. Sometimes, the answering machine comes on if the other Sim is away. Continue to call....or you can drive or catch a taxi to one of the Community Lots you will probably see her there. Good Luck!


Why won't it let me play?

I just created an X-box live 1 month free silver membership, as i wanted to try out the online style of play before i buy the gold membership, after going through the account creation, I was thought I was finally able to play online on the game Halo 3, but as i entered matchmaking, it would not let me start the game, it kept telling me that I need an X-Box live account in order to play, even though i was already logged on one, can anyone tell me what i did wrong in the account creation, or is there something i still need to do in order to play?

In halo 3 can you create a custom game and then take it to match making?
try team objective those are games like king of the hill and stuff like that but no you cant put your game in
Reply:No, you can't. Bungie originally said that support for something very similar to that, specific gametype searching, would be included in Halo 3, and then they crapped out and decided to force you to play what they want you to.


Help with xbox live?

how much does xbox live cost a month? is there something called a silver and gold live membership? if so whats the difference?


with silver (say for halo 3) can you still play all the games and things gold can? like with matchmaking?

Help with xbox live?
Nope with silver you cannot play online matchmaking games at all for Halo or any game. You have to have the gold membership. With the silver you can get on xbox live and look at other peoples profile and stuff but cant play online. You can get a 3 month membership for 20 or 30 dollars or a 12 month membership for 50 dollars, trust me get the year membership its worth it. You can get it at any game store like best buy walmart, game stop, eb games
Reply:ok go to walmart and then go to the game section u can get xbox live cards there for a 12month for 1 free month card it is 50$ plus tax so thats is 13months for 50$ and if u dont want to spend that much u can get 3 month cards that are 20$





and the silver is were u can get a gamertag and visit the xbox live marketplace but u cant playgames on live





gold is if u get a card from walmart or somewhere or u order membership from u xbox and u can play games and do everything on live

in halo 3, if I dont download the heroic map pack will i still be able to play on the new maps on matchmaking if other people in the party have the map??

Halo Downloadable map question?????
no, unfortunatly you will not be able to, since your 360 doesn't have the data of the new maps on its hard drive, it wont be able to recognize the new maps. Plus $10 for 3 new maps is such a rip off, just wait till spring when they become free.

I just created a free 1 month trial of x-box live, after going through all the details, I tried to play online on the game Halo 3.


But as I entered matchmaking, it would not let me play, It kept telling me that I need to be signed onto an X-Box live account in order to play, even though I already was. Is there something I did not do right in the account creation? is there anything else I need to do in order to play?

Howcome it won't let me play online?

How to be the best at Halo 3?

It would be really cool if people out there that play halo 3 would give me some usefull tips on how to better myself in matchmaking..... notice i said helpfull. that means i dont want someone who doesnt know what there talking about to answer and say " Well i imagine that you would want to not get shot." or " My best opinon is to hide and sneek up on someone."


So please only answer if you know the game and do have helpful sugestions.


Thank You

How to be the best at Halo 3?
Like the first answer, always practice.


Also, remember, the biggere the gun, the better, so always be on the lookout for the best guns.


Grenades are your friend. Even if you are not that great at grenade throwing, find special grenades that will help you. IF you find yourself outnumbered, grenades will most likely help you get out, because people will back away from you if they see a grenade thrown because they do not want to get blown up.


Also, I do not recommend dismounted turrets for people who aren't that great. Leave the turrets to the more experienced players. This is because more experienced players are more alert than the less experienced people, so they are more aware where and when they need to hit, since the turret slows you down so much.


Depending on what match type you like to play, play unranked games of that match as practice until you think you are good enough to go into ranked matches.
Reply:well if your fighting someone with a bigger weapon then you get 2 smgs or get a spartan laser but it takes to long to load if you really want to destroy your enemie get a rocket launcher that helps and the you jump and shoot at your enemie cause it can kill you if your too close but then you could get long range and get a covent beam rifle or sniper rifle but then i like using the needler that helps if sticks your enemie and blows up good luck killing
Reply:you didnt say helpful you said useful, and you spelled both wrong, but thats beside the point.





beat the game on legendary by yourself, that should improve your game play
Reply:All you have to do is get use to using different weapons and know the levels. Then just try to take out all you can, you will eventualy get good without knowing.
Reply:uhmm well if someone starts shooting you first its wise to jump and crouch making you a smaller target and will sometimes make you the victor of the battle...throw a frag garnade and then one shot to the head with the battle rifle is good....sliding quickly side to side so the oppenet misses you


the rest is pretty much being a good shot and having good vision
Reply:I don't play much Halo 3, but be careful when you jump and where you jump, it can help you get away or just make you a sitting duck as you come back down. You can be very easy to pick off in the fall and as you land.

Met someone in a on line dating site, now need help???

After meeting someone on a online dating/ matchmaking/ just basically two people getting to know each other site, what are topics that are safe to speak of without chasing the other person away???

Met someone in a on line dating site, now need help???
Just ask her about her interests--movies, music, hobbies, favorite places to eat, places to hang out, etc. Try to ask things that will give you an idea of her habits and lifestyle to see if you would be compatible with her. As you get to know one another better, be sure and discuss both of your Life Dreams, values, and goals. When you first meet someone online, I would definitely stear clear of asking anything too personal that may embarass her especially if she is shy, and I would not bring up anything at all pertaining to sex. That is fine to discuss later on if you choose to pursue a relationship, but bringing it up initially will send warning signals about your intentions......


Emma by Jane Austen?

My teacher has written on my essay "Emma does not learn from her matchmaking Mr Elton and Harriet and continues to give Harriet ideas above her station - write about Frank Churchill and Mr Knightley confusion.





Which bit of confusion is this, and any ideas on where in the book to find it?





TIA!

Emma by Jane Austen?
This is what I could find: Emma Woodhouse is a young woman in Regency England. She lives with her father, a valetudinarian who is principally characterized by excessive concern for the health and safety of his loved ones. Emma's friend and only critic is the gentlemanly Mr Knightley, her "neighbour" and brother of her sister's husband. As the novel opens, Emma has just attended the marriage of Miss Taylor, her old governess and best friend. Having introduced Miss Taylor to her future husband Mr Weston, Emma smugly takes credit for their marriage, and decides that she rather likes matchmaking.





Against Mr. Knightley's advice, she next tries to match her new friend, Harriet Smith (a sweet but none-too-bright girl of seventeen, described as "the natural (i.e. illegitimate) daughter of somebody" to the local vicar, Mr Elton, first persuading her to refuse an advantageous marriage proposal from a respectable young farmer, Mr Martin. Her matchmaking scheme goes awry when it turns out that Mr Elton, a social climber, wants to marry Emma herself— not, as she had hoped, the poor and socially inferior Harriet. After Emma rejects his proposals, Mr Elton goes on holiday. Harriet fancies herself heartbroken, though Emma does her best to convince her that Mr Elton (who will reveal himself to be more and more arrogant and pompous as the story continues) is beneath them both.





An interesting development for Emma is the arrival in the neighbourhood of Frank Churchill, Mrs Weston's stepson, whom she has never met but in whom she has a long-standing interest. Mr Elton returns with another newcomer--a vulgar wife who becomes part of Emma's social circle, even though the two women loathe each other. A third new character is Jane Fairfax, the reserved but beautiful niece of Emma's impoverished neighbour, the loquacious Miss Bates (another comical character who serves to lighten the scene). Jane, who is very accomplished musically, is Miss Bates's pride and joy; Emma, however, envies her talent and somewhat dislikes her. Jane had lived with Miss Bates until she was nine, but Colonel Campbell, a friend indebted to her father for seeing him through a life-threatening illness, then welcomed her into his own home, where she became fast friends with his daughter and received a first-rate education. On the marriage of Miss Campbell, Jane returned to her relations, ostensibly to regain her health and prepare to earn her living as a governess.





In her eagerness to find some sort of fault with Jane — and also to find something to amuse her in her pleasant but dull village — Emma indulges in the fantasy, shared with Frank, that Jane fancied Miss Campbell's husband, Mr. Dixon, and that it is for this reason she has returned home, rather than going to Ireland to visit them. This suspicion is further fueled by the arrival of a piano for Jane from a mysterious, anonymous benefactor.





The plot becomes quite complex as Emma tries to make herself fall in love with Frank simply because everyone says they make a handsome couple. Emma ultimately decides, however, that he would suit Harriet better after an episode where Frank saves her protégée from a band of Gypsies. During this time, Mrs. Weston wonders if Emma's old friend Mr Knightley might have taken a fancy to Jane. Emma promptly decides that she does not want him to marry anyone, but rather than further exploring these feelings, she claims that she wants her nephew Henry to inherit the family property. When Mr. Knightley scolds Emma for a thoughtless insult to Miss Bates, she is privately ashamed, and tries to atone. Around this time, Emma is further discomfited when she learns that Jane and Frank have been secretly engaged for almost a year. When Harriet confides that she thinks Mr. Knightley is in love with her, jealousy forces Emma to realize that she loves him herself. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Knightley proposes to Emma, Harriet reconciles with her young farmer, and everyone lives happily ever after





Hope it helps.
Reply:Emma believes that Harriet Smith is infatuated with Frank Churchill because he 'came to her rescue," so Emma tells Harriet to persevere, however great 'his' station, only to discover that it was Mr. Knightley rescuing Harriet at the ball, not Frank rescuing her from gipsies, that has set Harriet aglow. The discovery dismays Emma, especially when she sees evidence that Harriet is succeeding.

I Need Help In LoveLife!!!?

I'm 16 and i have no guy friends AT ALL most probably because i don't go to church ( don't ask me to go) and I am studying in an all-girls school. I live alone and I feel like having a boyfriend to care for me. can u please give me as many ideas as possible? I don't want to turn into a lesbian and i don't wanna go for matchmaking stuff ( thanks!) ...and... randomly checking out a stranger is weird %26amp; uneasy for anyone isin't it?

I Need Help In LoveLife!!!?
First off at 16 you don't need a boyfriend.





You should enjoy times with the girls at your school. I'm not saying go lesbian, I'm just saying that you can have a close relationship with another girl without being sexually active. Those friendships will last your lifetime.





If you still want a boyfriend then find something you like to do, I'm not sure how church has anything to do with it, but it's the same concept. People gathering on common ground. It is a great way to meet people although I don't think God would want us considering church a meat market.





Find a local hangout (barns and noble) and see who shows up. Oh and if you really, really want a boyfriend then you're going to have to step out of your shell!! Match.com





Good luck!!!
Reply:First of all, you don't suddenly turn Gay just because you're always around members of your own sex. If you were a lesbian, you'd already know it by now.


Second, it sound like you're seeking more of a father figure ("to care for me") than you are a true boyfriend. And randomly checking out strangers is done by everyone, both men and women. There's nothing wrong with giving a good looking person (in your case, guy) the once over if you want to.


But you're prime fodder for a male con artist; one of those who'll take you for everything you've got. Be careful.
Reply:that hecka suckz........yeah the mall ..anywhere!!!


my friend met her bf wen she went 2 kohlz and she asked where the teen section was(she new where it was) and just started flirting with the person..soon enough to be her bf
Reply:Have you considered learning to be satisfied as a single? I know this sounds totally archaic, but you really do have the rest of your life to spend with a guy.





I felt the same way when I was 16. I finally let go of wanting a boyfriend. Instead of focusing on how I didn't have a guy in my life, I wrote a list of the qualities I thought I would like in my future husband.... Things like thoughtful, gentle, and silly things like, tall, light brown hair, blue eyes, musician... Two years later I met him and we've been married for seven years!
Reply:LOL im in the same situation as you. Im going to this church youth group today and they are there for a reason im soon realizing they are there for people that want to live there life the right way no drugs alcohol nothng just feelings and a clear mind that is your best bet i think im goin tonight to try it out wish me luck
Reply:just start simple conversations
Reply:What makes you think that you will get a guy friend at church,is that all contact that you've got with male
Reply:hun dont go lezbo there is a way. take walks in your neihborhood


you could ask your friends to help you meet some guys. dont be shy you have to be straight up and let guys know your availble. if he rejects you you can always castraight him :)
Reply:Relax. You don't turn gay or lesbian, you are born that way. Get your female friends and go shopping and to the movies. Single guys hunt single chicks in packs so your bound to find them at the mall or the show.
Reply:go to a singles web site that is how alot of us older adults that are busy meet
Reply:dont rush into love..let it come to you....if it has not happen yet its because it was not the right time, person or place..good luck
Reply:cjecking out strangers is weird and uneasy, but you have to act sure of yourself and just go for it! the worst that can happen is the person isn't interested...
Reply:Not going to Church have nothing to do with you not getting a boyfriend.Try to be nice with a few nice boys near your area when you come back for holidays and start from there.
Reply:just go to a mall
Reply:um talk to one of your girl-friends and see if they know any single guys.

What services that aren't currently offered on the internet would you like to see made available?

...but don't have the time or resources to do yourself.





Could be anything: music, matchmaking, search engine features, anything...





Please be serious, I'd like to see what people think.

What services that aren't currently offered on the internet would you like to see made available?
I'd like to see a search engine that will search concepts, not just words. So, if I needed to know something about biochemical reactions, and there was a really great website that didn't actually say the words "biochemical reactions" it would still come up in my search.
Reply:More cool Linux software sites :)
Reply:When I do a web search it would be nice if I could edit the results so if I do the same search again the sites I don't want to see could be marked so that they dont show again.

Halo 3 Question?

okay so i have halo 3


And how do i play multiplayer


what is matchmaking,forge


and other stuff


and how do i play ranked matches thank you

Halo 3 Question?
There is alot of ways to play multiplayer ....it sometimes gets confusing......TO do a multiplayer game you go to the custom games lobby which is on the main menu......custom games can be played with live friends and ppl who are at your house with you on your 360....





Forge is very interesting but funn.....you can modify the map and move things and place things on it....such and vehicles weapons and obbjects....you can play a multiplayer game on this map its pretty fun ...cuz you can buy any weapon in the game......





matchmaking is for ranked matches and raked matches get you exeperince pooints and acheivements. there are differnct types of ranked matches such as team slayer and big team battle........





To play matchmaking you have to choose it on the main menu it will say matchimaking.....





If you need any other help email me.....or you can add me on xbox live.....


good luck.......


OH and one more thing ...it takes forever to get in a matchmaking game 2 to 5 mins
Reply:matchmaking is online which requires xbox live. the forge is a place where you can modify and map u want and put what ever u want in it. to play ranked matches make sure you on xbox live. go to match making. right above where it says start game, there should be a game option. i think it starts off on team slayer. click on it and mutliple option come down. good luck, have fun
Reply:Multiplayer on a single console falls under matchmaking.








its not forge like that guy below me said, well at least i don't think it was.


Can anyone mod on halo 2 if so add me on WoodedSKELLY?

i dont want to do matchmaking i'm all legit i just love seeing mods in a custom game

Can anyone mod on halo 2 if so add me on WoodedSKELLY?
I've played with mods, very fun. I was a grunt and also did loads of weapon hacks
Reply:There is no point in using mods. Even in custom games, besides you can still get banned from xbox live for using them. And if the game was made to do that then Bungie would have created it into the game, just play the game the way its supposed to be played.


How do I find a co-op match in Halo 3?

I can't find a co-op match for Halo 3. Where do I go? Campaign? Matchmaking?





Do I need to know someone to play or will it just find people for me to play co-op with?





I can find VS games just find... where's co-op???








Thanks.

Halo 3 Xbox Live Question?

How can I on halo 3, start a match with people I don't know and still have weapons in the game. Like if you go into matchmaking, you're stuck with the same weapon throughout the game. But I want to play against people online, invite a friend, and use different weapons. How can do that?

Halo 3 Xbox Live Question?
nvm what he said, I think you want to start a custom game.


From there, you can become the party leader, change map, game, and weapons. Anyone who sees you online can easily join as long as you have an open invite


Hope I helped
Reply:oiboi is completly corect...however the other guy is probably mad cause he cant afford and xbox :)


What do you think about the new "dating police" law?

In March 2006, the president signed the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act also known as IMBRA 2005. This law requires U.S. citizens who use international dating or matchmaking sites to disclose personal and private information, criminal background checks, etc.. to the dating website. Your personal information must translated and sent to all foreign members of the service and they must read it and give the dating service permisstion before the U.S. citizen can say "hello" Of course this law exempts "big" dating sites such as match.com. Look up the IMBRA law on the internet and you can see how the government is trying to force U.S. citizens to marry domestically. Has government gone too far trying to "police" U.S. citizen's dating activities? The law claims to protect foreign women from domestic violence but there are already many laws for that. This law just prevents communication and opens U.S. citizens up for identity theft and fraud.

What do you think about the new "dating police" law?
none of this is true, your totally WHAAACK
Reply:I am not agree with this answer because this person does not know nothing about this new law..The true is that american people are losing their rights to choose with whom marry with. Report It

Reply:If you mean do I have a problem with eastern european and asian women who pay to leave their countries only to become the battered spouse of some scumbag here in the U.S. your absolutley right. Some people in the U.S. can belive the absolute worst conspiracies, then turn around and never believe in things that actually do happen. Lets see, we have white slavery n the world, women lied to the brought here legally, the pimped out. It's pretty sick to think that the idea of this bothers your perception of your constitutional rights and there fore should be banned even if it was designed to protect foreign brides. Right?





By your logic there shoul be no backround checks for day care workers....cause thats the thought police as well right? Or maybe DYFS shold tone themselves down.
Reply:Before you call someone "whacko" why don't you visit the these websites which discuss the IMBRA law. One of them is a US immigration lawyer's website. This law is truly the dating police and its a shame our country can pass such laws.

How do I open my NAT for Xbox Live?

It says my NAT is moderate or strict when I enter matchmaking in halo 3. I have a linksys router, the basic blue one (192.168.1.1)

How do I open my NAT for Xbox Live?
You will need to read the manual which you can find on the linksys website.





However the basics are that you open a DMZ port to your XBox. You will need to know the IP Address of the XBox which would be something like 192.168.1.101





To find the IP address you will need to look at the Client List also available from your linksys router and see if you can tell which IP is for the XBOx, because every PC in your house will also have an IP address. If you open a DMZ to one of your PCs they will not be protected from outside hacking and it will become badly infected with viruses within a day. I have seen this happen. So be sure that you are routing the DMZ to your XBOX only.

XBOX/Halo 3 question?

ok it has to deal with xbox live really. Now ive playing online now for quite some time without running into problems. As most know Halo3 released today and ive been trying to play online but whenever i get into matchmaking or online co op with more than 3 people i get disconnected from xbox live.


Now that i think about it ive ran into the same problem with halo2


i play gears of war call of duty 3 and so on without any problems but halo just wont cooperate


ive been searching for solutions but can't seem to find any help

XBOX/Halo 3 question?
It's not just you, it's everyone! Halo 3 is overloading all servers AND they just had maintainence today (hence why xbox live was closed for a couple hours) so not everything is back up and operational.
Reply:this has been going around today it must be that many people are on halo 3 mutilplayer and causing the servers to overload.
Reply:halo 3 just came out. literaly. do you realy think that only a handfull of people are going to be logging on and playing? what do you think the update on live was for a few weeks ago? their servers are jammed full of people trying to play.


Why can't a single mom find a sugar baby(male)?

There are a hell lot of matchmaking sites for men, esp for old guys, why can't we have a place like that to find young and good-looking guys? Is it wrong for a woman to think so? If it is, then based on what? moral code? Oh, I don't know...

Why can't a single mom find a sugar baby(male)?
you don't need a site to look for a man....just walk down the street, through the mall, heck if you look good they will surely find you. Go to a bar....there are many willing guys there looking too.
Reply:Probably because he doesn't want to be found until he's ready.
Reply:I know it is hard for a single mom to get out and try to meet someone the "old fashioned way" but I have actually managed to meet a teriffic guy through work. Don't close yourself off to any possibilities and keep saying "I am open and receptive to love and light in my life"





Sounds like a strange thing to say but if you say it enough times you start to believe you are deserving of Love and it finds you without you finding it! you look for it in one direction it always comes in the back door with out you realizing!





Love %26amp; Light

How Do I Access Family Settings for Xbox Live? (On 360)?

Hey guys I just got Xbox Live and hooked it up, my email however states that I am 17, thus I needed a parent email,which is my mothers.





Anyway I just got Halo 3 and when I went into matchmaking I realised that I couldn't hear anyone talking on their microphones (Instead of the speaker icon there is a crossed-out icon, the microphone is not the problem I made sure of this), and I figured this is to do with the family settings. How do I fix this so I can hear any player?





Note: This is not going against my parent's wishes, they don't care who I talk to/meet on XBlive.





Thanks in advance!

How Do I Access Family Settings for Xbox Live? (On 360)?
xbox.com has a section on how to use the family settings. Here it is: http://www.xbox.com/zh-SG/support/family...
Reply:Go to the XBOX dashboard, and flip through to the last blade on the right. There is a family setting option, customize the settings and enjoy.
