Ever happened to you?

Hey. I was recentley BANNED from play Halo 3 Matchmaking on XBL, and I don't know why. Has that happened to anyone, and if so, why would it happen? Could it be because someone just kept reporting me for something?


Josh

Ever happened to you?
nope iv never been banned
Reply:hard to tell try and call them and find out why if u really wanna know.





is it just for that game or ur hole XBL account
Reply:If you cheated, have modded hardware, got reported/Complaint Filed(and Microsoft processed it), or in some other way violated the terms of agreement, these reasons may be why.


Is there a website that is about meeting friends and doing friendship??

looks like most of the websites are about matchmaking in love direction....i mean a website that i will find people like me that want simple friendship to exchange whatever it is...go online and chat and exchange life stories....and who knows instead of flying to some place to find love it would be to meet a friend...


i had one from Australia way back ;for a good 2 yrs we were in touch and we did exchange so many things but somehow i changed email address and lost hers; deactivating an account without writing down certain addresses isn't good.

Halo 3 on Xbox live help?!?!?!?

I just bought Halo 3 and I want to play online with other people(not just my friends). When I click on matchmaking it says I do not have maps to play it. How can I download free maps to play the team deathmatch type game on Halo 3?

Halo 3 on Xbox live help?!?!?!?
well just go to market place and download the new free halo map packs. if you don't understand then i will help you on xboxlive my gamertag is alienwarrior 7
Reply:well make sure you have even have xbox live in the first place





i will guide you through the steps if u have IM
Reply:well did u get a Gold membership card for Xbox live.
Reply:you need to download them at the market place. and its free aswell.
Reply:Bungie has been releasing maps for Halo 3, most recently, the Legendary Map Pack. The recent Map Pack was the Heroic Map Pack which came out sometime last year. It became free only recently and you can downlaod it from the Xbox Live Marketplace. Either access it directly from your Xbox Dashboard Menu or while in Halo 3 (must be connected to Live). I suggest you access it from the game directly because it autmoatically brings you to the Halo 3 download page. Scroll down the menu until you see the Heroic Map Pack, it should say 'Free' next to it. Press it and continue. The download should take roughly 30 minutes on a good connection. You will now find you're able to play matchmaking and 3 new maps have been added to the originals, Foundry, Standoff, and Rat's Nest.
Reply:its not team deathmatch that is call of duty if you mean team slayer go to xbox live market place and then go to games then find halo 3 it should say heroic map pack it takes about ten minutes to download

I need some detailed answers about online dating: read before answering?

I'm a male college student, and I have been considering online dating recently. There seems to be nobody in my area who meets my moral standards or shares my interests. Maybe it's because I'm too serious (both about life in general and about relationships in particular), but there seems to be nobody who is morally or personally compatible with me. Therefore, I think I will try out online dating. I read about OKCupid and eHarmony, which are both free matchmaking sites. Are either of these a good idea for someone who is an intellectual, Christian, extremely conservative, looking for long-term relationships EXCLUSIVELY, and not flirty or looking for someone flirty? Also, it probably doesn't matter...but I'm 19. Even so, like I said, I'm having problems. It's not that I'm unattractive (TONS of girls think I'm "cute" or "adorable"), I'm not out of shape (I get plenty of activity), and I am not some freak (I have plenty of friends). That said, please give me some advice!

I need some detailed answers about online dating: read before answering?
Wow, there is noone at college who is intellectual, Christian, extremely conservative, looking for long-term relationships EXCLUSIVELY, must be a small school. I just think your not taking enough time to get to know people. People are not always what they seem initally, people can be much more complex than you give them credit for. But yes, there are online places for this , just look them up. look up something like Christian singles for instance.





Buy the way- if your not flirty and your looking for somoneelse who is not flirty- how do you know if somone likes you or not. Human nature reactions does not make someone bad or of lower maral standard. Let's face it, at some point idf you do find love you WILL be flirty or you'll never have kids! Lighten up a little really and have fun, it doen't mean your doing anything wrong. Geeze.

Reply:on line dating is not good you just never know the problems that you will encounter
Reply:Most people looking for people on the internet are looking for one thing. SEX! But a few are not and you have to go through a trial and error period, where you weed out the " not gonna happen" to " I would love a second date". You can date more than one person to see who is a best gf material for you. You don't have to "hoe" around either. I used to try online dating, but no luck on that . Too many pervs looking for sex! So I stopped looking and he came to me! I found my fiancee on blackplanet.com. I met him last year, over the internet, and we are so compatible with each other it's scary. I never in a million years thought I would find my future husband over the net, but I did. This is after a lot of trial and errors. It takes some time because if you really know what you want, then you wont settle for nothing less and you may spend a lot of lonely nights at home (as i did). In the end it will be worth it. I was upfront with my standards and beliefs too. Thats a good way not to waste your time on people. Let them know what your about upfront. Also people arent freaks just because they don't have a lot of friends. Some people choose to have a small inner circle.
Reply:I think online dating is great! I met my fiance about a year and a half ago and we're getting married in July. He's 54 and I'm 55. It's a second marriage for both of us, but he is a wonderful man and I would have never met him otherwise.





eHarmony is not a free site. You can register for free but then they charge you. My fiance and I met on 'www.singlesnet.com'. There are a lot of other sites. Try Yahoo, and google 'online dating sites' and see what comes up. Be sure you put a recent pic of yourself. You will get a lot more responses. If you don't like someone or they don't like you, it's easier to say so online.





Good luck. There is the one special woman out there for you.





God bless!

Why cant my friend play Halo?

The maintanence is done, my live is fine, i can play matchmaking but a few of my friends have been having this problem where they cant join my game, go into natchmaking, or send game invites and they are not joinable. The maitenance ended 2 and a half hours ago and i was wondering if there is a way to fix this or when it willl be fixed.

Why cant my friend play Halo?
I encountered a similar problem with my friend. I am assuming that you or your friends, when doing a network test on their 360, will see that their NAT is rated "moderate" or below. You want it to say "open". In order to fix this, you may need to disable (if only temporarily) some of the security settings on your internet service.
Reply:You need to have an internet connection that has a firewall disabled. If any kind of security has been installed on the computer your router is hooked up to, you'll need to disable the firewall...
Reply:I dont know but this happened 2 me aswell and i still cant get on it


Xbox Live Halo 3 problems!!!?

I have been playing halo 3 on xbox live for the past few weeks no problem. Then yesterday it started messing up. I can connect to xbox live no problem and play any other game with online gamers. But for some reason when i use matchmaking it counts down and stops at zero and then does nothing. So I guess my problem lies with the halo 3 server? What can be done? Thanks

Xbox Live Halo 3 problems!!!?
Have you downloaded the new Heroic Map Pack?





It just became free recently. Just press pause during the lobby and go to downloads and download the Heroic Map Pack and this should fix your problem.
Reply:let bungie know... maybe there is an update or something that you didnt get... hope this helps

Do i have to beat halo 3 to play xbox live?

Ok i beat hao 3 on normal a couple months ago. I did it on Co-Op . I just recently got a wireless router and i wanted to play online( ive done it at my friends house) so i went to match making and tried doing a big team social. But when i go to start matchmaking it says "one or more players do not have the maps" Whats that supposed to mean? I beat the game so shouldnt i have all the maps? What should i do i really dont wanna do campaign again.

Do i have to beat halo 3 to play xbox live?
There are downloadable maps
Reply:From the xbox dashboard, go left to the marketplace blade. Look for the New releases, then go to Game Add-ons. Scroll down to the Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack. It has been a few months since they were available for download, so they have become free. You have to download these free maps to play Matchmaking online. The next set of maps are in the Legendary map pack, and that costs 800 microsoft points, and are necessary to play the new DLC playlist. or you could wait for them to become free, then you will have to download them to play matchmaking again.
Reply:There are downloadable maps that were released after the game came out. You are missing those. If you tried to join a game with other people you know who have these maps then this would cause your problem. Otherwise, if you don't have these maps you shouldn't be put into the same game as others who have them.





The downloadable maps cost 800 Microsoft points, which is $10.
Reply:ha well the maps they are talking about are the downloaded maps from xbox live...so someone in ur party may not have had the map...U don't need to do anything with the campaign, just make sure u download the maps from xbox live in the marketplace, and if u want to use those new maps u can only play with people who have them also
Reply:it means the player that u are trying to join doesnt have those map content it is how it sounds u half to purchase the maps with mp point (noob)
Reply:Negative, Ghost Rider.


Is it lame to date over the internet?

Not just on matchmaking websites, but on chats etc, people often end up asking someone or being asked out... I am curious as to what people think about this. If your friend told you they met their new boyfriend/girlfriend off the net, what would you think? And would you ever try it for yourself?

Is it lame to date over the internet?
If it's a guy off the net that lives in the same area, no it's not lame to meet online. If it's a guy that lives 700 miles away that you will probably never meet, then yes it's hella lame!





Never get serious with someone through the internet. It's a waste of time. Find love local!
Reply:Social networking sites such as MySpace, Bebo and Facebook are acceptable places to meet potential partners (providing that you are aware of internet safety, etc), although I think its almost vital that you are in the same area and have met eachother before making any kind of commitment or releasing any personal information.





However, purely virtual relationships are in my opinion a waste of time. A relationship is about physical contact, talking, days and nights out together, meeting eachothers friends and getting on well, not one constant stream of typed emails.

Reply:i think its lame myself how pathetic are you that you cant even go out in public and meet someone face to face too many ppl misrepresent themselves onlines online dating is for hormonal teenagers who have no clue what love or a real relationship even are
Reply:my mom met her husband online but it was on matchmaking website... but i think dating online is weird because you dont know if your really dating some old man or old woman or just some pervert...
Reply:I feel that it is and it's just not my style.
Reply:Not everyone has the gift of gab, or the looks that get every girls attention!





Even if you did, chances are you would find some one based on how hot they were.





On the internet you can ask her the right questions and check her responce.





You aren't going to be with the girl that long, so I think you could figure out if she was a perv', or another guy by then!





Go for it!
Reply:That is how I met my wife.





Not lame. It allows you to more efficiently meet people you have more in common with.





If you are just a boring normal person, then you are likely to be compatible with the other boring normal people you meet every day.





If you have interesting quirks and interests, then you need a more selective method of meeting compatible people. The Net works for that.
Reply:i would think that they are really desperate to have someone ..
Reply:What dating online really amounts to is that if you are mature in person, you're going to be mature over the internet. I think a lot of the bad rep that internet dating gets is from two sources, one being the dangers involved with dating online and the other is from people abusing the service by being immature, and just looking for a distraction. In essence, dating online is no different than dating in person.





From a safety standpoint, you should never be alone with someone you've never met before. You should always meet in a public place until your trust is earned. Period. This should apply with any type of dating.





From a value standpoint, if your intentions are to meet someone for long-term dating, you just need to find someone who has the same goals. A lot of the "chat dating" basically amounts to a bunch of kids looking for way to pass time, not anyone seriously looking to date.





From a personal standpoint, I actually met my fiance online on MySpace. We have been together for a little over a year and a half and are in the process of selling his house. Turns out we lived in the same town and eveything, had some mutual friends, but ran in different circles.





If you are uneasy about using "dating" sites, try a social networking site like MySpace or Facebook. Somewhere that's just for meeting people in general, as opposed to one specifically set up for dating.





Good luck to you, and keep us informed!
Reply:now, it is completely up to you what you think about dating over the internet. Personally, i would never date over the internet, it is not safe at all. if a friend told me they met someone over the internet, i would warn him/her to be careful. i think it's a terrible decision!
Reply:Lots of peep do that! Go for it!
Reply:As long as it is someone you can meet (local) shouldn't be a problem.
Reply:my brother does that, he meets a lot of girls on myspace and he eventually get to know them and then meet them. I dont know how he cud do that, but it works for him.
Reply:A resounding NOOOO! Even when you are just chatting with someone on line...do you really know who/what you are chatting with??


There are so many (other) REAL ways and safer ways to meet people. It's a chance you don't NEED to take.
Reply:No it's not lame. In today's society people are finding themselves to be busier and busier. Socializing online is becoming much more common and actually far easier to sort out the "crazy's."





My fiancee and I met online over a year ago and chatted for about 4 months before meeting. Now we are getting married in August, bought a house together, and just bought a dog too.





Good luck in your online dating.

How do i play halo 3 live with other ppl?
I don't really understand what your asking, so i'll go through how to play a matchmaking game step by step.





1.From the Halo 3 main menu, sign in to your gamertag (you have to have a current gold subscription)





2. Choose matchmaking (the second item down, right under campaign





3. Choose what playlist you want. (Team Slayer, etc.)





4. Choose start game.





5. Wait for other players to join and the game will start





If you are asking about playing online in campaign, you can only play online with people on your friends list who you invite to a game.
Reply:Go to match making, go to lone wolves press start match, lone wolves = free for all and there is no party just you vs 6 other ppl
Reply:Should be an option to auto-join first match avalible.
Reply:matchmaking - open party(option) - start game

How do you find out if a person online is a con artist?

a person you meet on a matchmaking site

How do you find out if a person online is a con artist?
When he/she ask you for money or sex.
Reply:If it SEEMS like a con artist, don't even take a chance. If you're looking to buy or sell, just go through craigslist.com, and ONLY do direct meetings. You see the cash, they see the item, you're in a safe area, and nobody gets screwed over.





As far as meeting people or giving out money...nine times out of ten, I'd say don't do it. Why not just live regular life and be with the people who you have direct connections with?
Reply:You're in the wrong section
Reply:if you find him in a comic site
Reply:Assume the worst, hope for the best, and be satisfied with whatever happens. Hopefully it'll fall somewhere in the middle.
Reply:Follow your heart. People can put things down in type for you to read and the next thing you know you really have fallen for this guy, but later you find out he's a registered sex offender. He isn't going to come out in the open and admit anything for you to lose interest in him. Be alert and don't let your guard down. Don't loan him any money and don't give him any personal information about yourself. Where you work, where you live or what kind of car you drive. You read all the time about a couple that met on the Internet and, well you know what I'm trying to tell you.


Please, check out the match making site and find out about their reputation and do they offer a chaperon for you if this guy really is a creep. If you do decide to meet with him, don't go alone. Always have someone watching your back. Be careful.


I might be reading more into this than there really is and I'm not trying to scare you away from this guy, but I can't stress enough to please be careful. Pay close attention to the warning signs and use common sense.
Reply:If you get a feeling that they are creepy or too pushy then follow your instincts. Your better safe than sorry. If they are trying to sell or "give" you something thats too good to be true then it probably is. Just use common sense and pay attention to warning signs.
Reply:Just don't let them con you.





As in, don't give them any money, don't give them access to any money, and don't give them any of your passwords.





Then you should be ok. If you mean you think they're bad news... then don't meet them, don't give them too much personal information and don't send them any photos of you.





Sorry for that lecture on net safety... :)





If you're on a matchmaking site though, doesn't that mean you are willing to trust people online? I mean, I've never been on a matchmaking site, but wouldn't that require a bit of trust?

Try to take the things out or restart the game. I suggest you dont download things from online only clothes because it messes up the game a lot.
Reply:You downloaded a hacked object that is causing the problem. The best way to figure out which object is causing the problem is to remove one object, load the game, see if the problem is still there. If it is, repeat. If not, then the last object you removed was your hacked object.


How do I change my Linksys router model number WRT54G to an OPEN NAT?

I Have a moderate NAT and I use the router to use xbox live such as halo 3 where i get a message when i enter matchmaking that i have a moderate Nat and should change it. Certain friends I can't talk with or party up with. Can any one give me step by step on how to achieve an OPEN NAT without getting a new router?

How do I change my Linksys router model number WRT54G to an OPEN NAT?
The above poster is close.





What you need to do is to log into the router's settings by going to http://192.168.1.1





The username is blank and the password is "admin".





In the port forwarding settings, you must enter the following information as being open:





• UDP 88


• UDP 3074


• TCP 3074





These settings are fairly self explanatory, and the IP address of "192.168.1.0" in the last field will allow to all IP addresses.





Hope this helps!
Reply:It sounds like (if I understand correctly; I often don't) that your ports for Halo and such are being firewalled. You can forward these ports to XBOX from your router. From looking around online, I think you need to forward these ports:





88


2074

Halo 3 0 POPULATION!!!!?

For some reason when i go on matchmaking it sayd it cant connect to halo servers aND there is a population of 0 online. Whatr do i have to do? will power cycling work?

Halo 3 0 POPULATION!!!!?
dude are you remedial?
Reply:bad connection or xtremly low internet
Reply:No don't power cycle. I had the same problem. Go into your dashboard and look at your Reputation, or start a one on one chat with a friend. Eventually it will boot you. Once you get booted immediately open your dashboard again, and it will allow you to log into matchmaking and play. You won't have that problem anymore until you power cycle. Mine lasts for about 4-6 minutes usually, but I just go into my rep, check out my friends list, etc. It will freeze up, like its trying to open it, and then tell me I have disconnected. But I log in and play after that.
Reply:try reconnecting ur internet then if it still does it let it sit for a minute or 2 at the matchmaking lobby bc that usually works for me
Reply:Well there was a problem with the patch that kept kicking people out of games, it could be that.

no. silver is always freee but you need gold to play online. silver just gets you downloads and such, gold gets all of that plus online gaming. its a stupid system where microsoft gets money. and xboxlive aint what it use to be. i like it better on the original xbox.
Reply:no you need a gold account to play matchmaking.

Has anyone played the Crackdown Demo?

If you have played the Crackdown Demo from XBOX LIVE, how do you find a friend to play Co-Op with? I know that the real feature is disabled in the Demo, but is it possible to play with a friend through filters or matchmaking or anything?


Please help!

Has anyone played the Crackdown Demo?
Naw I think they mean offline co-op. Game's awesome though, your like spider man with a gun.
Reply:well what i did was i hosted a match with certain settings, and then i told my friend to find the match by plugging in those certain settings, and we got to play each other.


Is it possible to bridge in Halo 2 after the new update?

I hear people say they can bridge and i dont go into matchmaking without box host if there are bridgers.

Is it possible to bridge in Halo 2 after the new update?
Sadly you still can. Some one correct me if I'm wrong ,but from what I understand if you do, your console gets banned permanently. I'm not sure if it only bans moded consoles. I remember reading an article form Bungie saying that they are now using the ban hammer on people who stand-by, mod, hack, and bridge. So don't worry too much about having to have box host.


Should eHarmony cater to the gay community too, even though homosexuality is a sexually deviant liefestyle?

CHRISTIAN owned online matchmaking service eHarmony is being sued by a lesbian. She claims she couldn't find a lesbian mate online. Well, duh! eHarmony refuses to pander to the gay community and stick to matching heterosexual relationships only. I am so sick and tired of homosexuals shoving their lifestyle and their gay agenda down our throats.

Should eHarmony cater to the gay community too, even though homosexuality is a sexually deviant liefestyle?
It's there business and they can do as they like with it if they don't want to cater to homosexuals then they don't have to. It's so ridiculous that someone would rather sue then look for another dating service.
Reply:Ugh. I totally feel the same way about the heterosexuals shoving their "lifestyle" down my throat my entire life ... its all about non-stop divorces, illegitimate children, sexually molesting their own children, and on-and-on. I am so sick of the straight agenda.





Plus everyone knows that Christians for the most part are pretty hypocritical about everything under the sun. Eventually this superstition will die out like all other superstitions.
Reply:just someone wanting attention.i am sure there are many other places she could go to.she chose e-harmony to try and make a point.the point is the whole world isn't gay and the whole world should not be forced to accommodate them if their views are different,they also have rights.people tend to forget that while they pretend to be so d amn politically correct.its all about money and votes most people really do not accept it and are sick of hearing about it plain and simple!
Reply:Ok. Giving your opinion as fact is not helpful. The Gay community is a large economic force. Why don't you have facts instead of anger in beliefs. There is no agenda.
Reply:Excuse yourself. I don't hear many gays/lesbians bashing on heterosexuals. Sounds like you are trying to shove your agenda down their throats. And you're giving heterosexuals and christians everywhere a bad name.





That said, I thinnk eHarmony should be able to refuse gay ads if that's their choice.
Reply:I suppose eharmony can keep homosexuals out, I mean homosexuals form their own culture to keep bigoted, ignorant people out.
Reply:I have to disagree with the premise of your question and even find it offensive.


I do believe there should be some truth in advertising and maybe the company should be advertising for heterosexual relationships only. As it is, it does appear that anyone can find a partner using their system.
Reply:What makes you think that they aren't sick and tired of people like you calling their lifestyle "sexually deviant"?


Halo 3 xbox live easy question?

when in matchmaking and wim in the lobby with other players, i see some of them have a second emblem thing thats beside their gamertag its a gray type thing, kinda looks like half a sprocket. How do i get it?

no thats not it. you need to link your gamertag to a bungie profile. After it's linked go to edit profile and at the bottom it will give you the option of the "gear".

On the 2 new Halo2 Maps will I have 2 bye them 3 times if I have 3 xboxs?
No, you will only have 2 pay for them 3 times if you have 3 different accounts. Otherwise just buy them once, sign in on another xbox, go to the download and click "download again for free"

How do i get more people on custom games in halo 3?

with out inviting people on my friends list


just like finding people like matchmaking

How do i get more people on custom games in halo 3?
you have to invite people. you can not just have the game search for people automatically. custom games don't work like that. if you dont want to invite a bunch of people, just invite a few people and have them invite people. but you cannot just have the game search for players...it's not supposed to search for people.





you must invite people...if you cant find people playing halo 3 on your friends list, just go to your list of people that you recently played with and invite them


What is wrong with my xbox 360?

How do you get Mongoose Mowdown Triple Kill etc in Halo 3?

i got a triple kill and splattered people in a mongoose and its in matchmaking why don't i get achievement?

How do you get Mongoose Mowdown Triple Kill etc in Halo 3?
the only way to actually get the achievement is to play on lone wolves, and its always easier if you go to the last language on your console settings and play on that, lots of other people are looking for achievements too and they can help you, but you have to tell them before the match begins or start a private chat with all of them because you cant talk during gameplay this should help you with all your problems
Reply:Oh dude that sucks so bad because you need to do it in LONE WOLVES!!! I know it sucks so bad. Its like the worst thing ever. Then millions of people want achievements like you so their are going to be really good people playing LONE WOLVES. Its harder than you think.
Reply:you have to do it in lone wolves. achievements get unlocked only in ranked matches, sadly =(





but congrats on that awesome kill!!
Reply:u gota splat alot of people in one game with the mongoose


Halo 3 second map pack?

i bought the first one but does anyone think bungie made the first one free because they put up the mlg in the matchmaking?And will the second map pack be free in a l8er time?

Halo 3 second map pack?
No. It had nothing to do with MLG. Just like with the map packs in Halo 2, whenever another map pack comes out, the one before it becomes free. This new Legendary map pack that comes out next week will be free probably around Aug/Sep when the Heroic Map Pack is about to come out.....
Reply:Well....





I don't really think they made the first map free cos of mIg so more people could enjoy them really... not to sure tho!





When they do make the second maps, after a while they WILL come free, prob for the same reason as the first set of extra maps!





Hope I Helped :D

Do you have a catchy name for my business?

I'm starting a matchmaking/dating coach business this summer... hooking up eastern european girls with american guys in my hometown of virginia beach and the surrounding cities. I need a good catchy name for my business. I need one real quick, so I can start markrting my business. Please! help me out people. If you have an idea for a good logo, then let me know also; but I'm more concern with the name. Thanks

Do you have a catchy name for my business?
Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...





Here's a few things to keep in mind:





1) Keep your industry, your clients/customers, your advertising plan in mind.





2) The more unique %26amp; distinctive a name, the higher the chances that the name is legally available for use. And the higher the chances of obtaining the trademark.





3) Think of your business as having a personality. What kind of image do you want your business to portray?





Specific brainstorming tips:





Think about what you want but more importantly, think about what you DON'T want. If you don't want a 3-word name, don't bother with those. If you don't want non-English words, don't bother with those %26amp; so on and so forth.





What are the "types" of names you like? Think about words in their simple forms, e.g. adjectives, Latin roots, mythological names, etc. Compile a listing of the types %26amp; then seek out resources, such as books or sites, which specialize in those types.





Here are some links where you can do some preliminary name checking:





http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=te... -- USPTO – Preliminary Search of Federal trademarks


http://biztaxlaw.about.com/od/research/a... --Go to your state's Secretary of State page to see if they have a searchable database of business names


http://www.hoovers.com/free/


http://www.thomasnet.com – Must register (free) to search their database





However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.





Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free %26amp; a great place to start, so I'd try them out first. This entails searching the pending %26amp; registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark.





There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names %26amp; yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.





Hope that helps! I wish you much success %26amp; happiness in all your ventures!

Xbox live NAT is moderate, how do i change it?

When i play halo 3 in matchmaking a message comes up saying my NAT is not open. I went and tested the connection and it says my NAT is set to moderate. I have a router. How do i change the NAT to open? Sometimes the NAT will say its open and other times it says its moderate.

Xbox live NAT is moderate, how do i change it?
Routers have things called ports which allow connections to made through them. Ports are closed by default and certain ports need to be opened for xbox live to function correctly.





http://portforward.com/routers.htm





Go to that website with help on how to port forward. It is different for each router.


For Xbox live you will need to open ports:


• UDP 3074


• TCP 3074





After doing this turn off ur xbox and your router and turn them on and run the test. It should then always say its open.





Good luck! Hope this helps.

I got xbox live back in November of 07 and tons of people played I only had to ait in matchmaking 5 minutes to play but towards the end of december i'd have to wait 30 minutes to play and game and barley few arranged games so I was wondering now that the heat of halo 3 has died down do alot pf people play xbox live halo 2 now?

Do alot of people still play Halo 2 online?
A few months after Halo 3 came out; the population of Halo 2 died down greatly. For fun, i attempted to play Halo 2 on xbox live the other day, and i had to wait about a half hour before i gave up and shut off my 360. To answer your question, no I don't even think that anyone plays Halo 2 on xbox live anymore.
Reply:It's like fashion %26amp; style, everyone flocks to whatever is new and forget about the history of Halo.
Reply:when halo 3 came out barely anyone played halo 2, but it was such a great game that people started to see failure in halo 3 and switched back to halo 2. so yes alot more people are playing it now

Call of Duty 4 PC?

I have recently gotton Call of Duty 4 on my PC and i had some few simple questions. i was wondering if it was possible to play with a controller. Also i was wondering if it was possible to play with people who have the game on xbox live? And most of the time when i play i have trouble finding a game to play because there is no matchmaking just "find server" and most of these servers always have anooying messages pop up.

Call of Duty 4 PC?
i completed the game on single player dude its the best first person game i have ever played play it its awesome u get to play different level different missions,also the story is great at the end u gotta kill the main lead negative character with a single pistol.but the best part is when u kill him it feels like ur r watching some kind of a movie or something great story and great game........

Halo 3 finished the fight difficulty?

I beat the game on easy the first time to get a feel for it before i went into matchmaking, and after that i beat some lvls on heroic, some in normal. Now i decided to do them all on normal. Do i have to do the ones that i have done on heroic(and not normal) on normal, for it to show up on my profile, or do i have to do them on a lover dificulty, even though i beat them on a higher one?

Halo 3 finished the fight difficulty?
If you beat a level on heroic and the achievement pops up you don't have to play the normal level to get the normal achievement you get both for playing heroic..... or all 3(normal, heroic, and legendary,) if you beat it on legendary..........but be careful where you start your campaign there are 2 different types solo and multiplayer. if you start a campaign on the solo, you cannot continue it in the multiplayer - even if you play it by yourself
Reply:u have to play em all by starting a new game or start from the beggining on normal

No ones online anymore for halo3?

ive been playing halo 3 this week and when I go to any matchmaking game it says POPULATION:0

No ones online anymore for halo3?
it just says that start to load a game and the pop starts going up lol i was playing it alot this week
Reply:just give it a few it should load up somtimes it acts really gayy when it first comes on. hit me up im on all the time Callme HitMaN and pl pl player 1
Reply:It's just the server trying to keep up with all of the info going back and forth. It also does that if you have a slow(ish) connection. Even if you were the only person playing, which you're not, it would at least say Population 1, because you're on-line.





just have patience, you'll find a game, also, try a different playlist. the "Population" tally is for that playlist only, so if Rocket Race says "0" then try team doubles, lone wolves, etc.
Reply:just let it keep on searching for matchs and it'll load in.
Reply:It's just lag. It says that for me sometimes and then we find a match.


10points halo 3 question?

for halo3 matchmaking if u get a lvl 50 will u get the same symbol as the amount of exp needed or no like im a 38 and a luiteneant w/ 70exp n if i get 2 a 40 will i get the next symbol or will i have 2 wait until i get 100exp

10points halo 3 question?
You will have to get the experience points, it doesn't matter how high your level is.





Here is a reference, this will definitely help:





http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/RankHi...





This is an example of a great player, who leveled up very quickly. But he hasn't played many games so his Ranking as a lieutenant hasn't changed.





It shows he has gone up to a general, but that is only for the level. It is still displayed that he is a lieutenant to everyone else.





I hope this helped.
Reply:this video has all the symbols http://youtube.com/watch?v=RbEf0ff9_Cs
Reply:yes you will get the symbol if you get 40 points
Reply:if you skill exceeds the skill they listed for the next rank then you will be fine. but say if i have a skill of 28 and exp of 700, and the next rank exp is 700. But it says you need a skill of 30 to get the rank. then what would happen would be you would need to get your skill level up to 30 in order to get the next rank. someone can have 1000 exp, but only have the highest skill of a lvl 10. and they would be lower than someone who only has 800 exp, and has a skill of 30. I hope this explanation helped you.
Reply:whatever you get to first, if you get to 40 first youll get it, or if you get to 100exp
