Gears is Broken

[wizz1e]

I assume everyone is having the same problem since I know my friend and I both can not connect. Whenever I try to create a host it just pops back to the menu, if I try to search for a host it says none exist, and then if I try to play campaign it goes back to the menu. The game is FUBAR right now

Yep. That's how it is for every live game at the moment.

Yeah, this happened this afternoon for a little while too. First it threw me out of live, then when i reconnected I couldn't do anything. The service seems to be experiencing some technical difficulties.

Edit: this is from Major Nelson at 8:42 p.m.:

I am on it...the XOC team is working on it. It will be fixed soon.

I guess we just sit tight.

Oh darn. This will really cramp my gaming experience. hahaha
