My rank has reverted to an sr1 AND I cannot join peoples games

So I spent hours yesterday trying to find out wtf has happened. My sr rank has reverted back to a 1 AND I cannot join anyone's games. When I try to play MM, I get put into a default shortened playlist (Ifin. Slayer, BTB, Reg, ctf, slayer pro and I think one other gametype) with other sr1s with an occassional mix of higher rank players. The majority of players are sr1, with default armor and recruit designations. In game loadouts are default. When I play a game I still get xp AND it is applying to my sr56 rank. But then I come back to the lobby and I am still a SR 1. I also will get an error message saying the Halo 4 server is having issues and to come back later.

Now when I go through the H4 menu I can see my unlocked customer loadouts, all my armors, unlocked weapons, abilities and emblems.

 

I am also not able to join peoples games, I get invites from multiple people in multiple rooms and when I try to join I am not allowed to with an message saying I am unable to join that party.

 

I am also unable to see my stats with Halo waypoint on the 360 AND a the WEB. I can see stats for Reach, H3, ODST. When waypoint tries to load on the 360, the boxes that should have H4 info/data come back woth a Loading error message, but the other boxes with other Halo stuff load and I can select them and they work normally.

 

Below are the steps I have done to try and fix the problem:

Rebooted Router

Rebooted Modem

Direct connected to Modem

Cleared 360 cache (3 times)

Unhooked all cables to the 360 and re-hooked up

Removed the HD and re-attached

Removed gt from HD, recovered from XBL and removed flash drive from system containing all other GT's

Tweeted xbox support with the issue that put me on a path to doing speed test and ping tests (all coming back with High ratings for download, upload, and ping)

ran the xbl connection test on the 360 (with results of connected and showing working)

My Nat shows as open in the Halo 4 settings and system menu

When other people look up my GT on Halo Waypoint ( Lbsutke ) it returns an error code along the lines of this E0FC3D95-9ACD-48CF-BD10-26335725788C but it is not the same everytime.

I have done web searches for answers or it other people are running into this situation. I have found others that have and have tried doing all the recommended "fixes", none have worked.

 

If you go to this link and search for Hopper, this is an explination to what is happening to me from 343. Only problem is that it has been happening for 18 hours and not just 10 minutes.

 

So basically I am asking if anyone has any other idea's to throw them my way. My next step is to try and tweet @halowaypoint and find out if they have any clues.

 

Update:

I just tried my twink tag on the same box I have my regular tag and I can see all the normal playlists and stuff. So my Lbsutke tag is stuck in the "waypoint funky server" land.

 

Update 2:

Now going on 42 hours of still being stuck in the "Limbo" Hoppers. 27 tweets to xbox support and they are lost. Next step is to tweet David Ellis and BS Angel and see if they have the magic.

 

Update 3:

Still stuck. Posted in the Waypoint forum thread that supposedly is where to address the issue. Going on 70+ hours of this issue. I read some of the other posts and there is a couple of people that have been stuck for a week (as of yesterday 11/28) in this Hopper.

 

Update 4:

OMG my rank is back. 94 hours into it. Now lets hope my rank stays and I do not get sucked back in.

The bigger you are, the harder you fall.;).   I think it is just waiting game for you at the moment.

I think this is it. This happened to me on Sunday, I believe. Played one game with the whole lobby at SR1. The scroll bar said the Server wasn't available. Later that night everything was fine. The Servers just hate you LB....

I've had this happen to me a couple of times since launch but not for 18 hours straight though, we're talking 30 min an hour tops. Then back to normal.

I ran into the same problem and it lasted a good 24 hours. I did everything that you mentioned and then posted my problem to this thread on the recommendation of the xbox live tech person I was chatting with. I don't know if 343 did something or it was just luck that eventually I was allowed back into the normal servers. Good luck.

I have not had any problems with my rank yet but for the first time last night everyone in our party couldn't access the Halo 4 servers anymore. We had to play customs for a while and finally gave up. Matchmaking was broken. Lol.

This happened to me last week or the week before. I deleted the game and all of the downloads and every halo 4 file from the Xbox, rebooted. Installed the disk 2 again, rebooted and then it started working again. Had to redownload the rest of the files. Hope you get it fixed.

I wouldn't recommend anyone do this.  Correlation is not causation - I would think that in the time this took you, you just happened to log into the good server the next time you got on.

i agree. it only lasted an hour and a half for me. it would have taken me longer to complete all of that.

I only did it on the second day after every one else wasn't having problems. There is a thread on waypoint for this issue, but not much resolution. It happened to someone I know on halo reach. They had to completely reinstall a couple of times. Its defiantly NOT a first resort but waiting the two hours on Xbox support for a rep will drive you to try lots of things. :)
