can use evolve app for the vpn maybe.... but i dont think it is worth it really at this moment but it is a viable option for playing lol
tried using evolve... doesnt work and I can't select the evolve network adapter in halo2 settings. If i try to bridge the evolve connection to my local area connection, also doesnt work

So maybe there's only a problem with the computer that controls the browser list...

yeah we can connect to live, but yeah the computer that handles the server list is down...lol

157.58.2.41 is the server that hosts the server list* i do believe, it is the only other ip that the game talks too microsoft

So a little birdie told me that the person who manages the server at Microsoft is on vacation right now. They'll come back in the next few weeks and hopefully they'll reset the server...

yeah it is still down lol 3 weeks and counting i guess... but hey i guess there are other things to play and what not till it gets a fix lol

i have been playing payday2 and its ok, offline is ok but annoying with the ai being dumb and not doing much for you other than reviving you LOL
then online you have to end up restarting the game because of some noob shooting people and messing up the op -_-

Yah halo 2 vista multiplayer very much fun although there were only bunch of players yet often servers were found full of people :)
I dont know but whenever i compare halo 1 or ce multiplayer and halo online multiplayer gameplay with halo 2 vista, halo 2 multiplayer was far amusing and much fun.
Thanks to all people who replied and posted on various forums and sites.
And lastly thanks to people who worked to re populate the game and and that includes the gamers and modders both.
