[Locked] Halo 4 servers are down

I have been struggling on and off for a few days to play more than a couple games of Halo 4 matchmaking before it goes haywire showing (You Appear to Lost your Connection to Xbox Live) I restarted the game multiple times, I will get into a game but halfway through it will boot me out or my teammates and I can't reconnect. Please inform 343 of this please. The Servers are down!

Edit 10/31/18 The Servers are still acting up and will kick you offline at a moments notice, I can deal with a few laggy games but it's getting impossible to play more than 1 game of Halo 4 without a disconnect
Edit 12/18/18 so I can't even get into a game, it will kick me off the server before it attempts to find other players, It's as broke as it was months ago before 343 had to fix it, please 343 Fix this!
Edit 11/23/2019 Halo 4 has switched to using Default services and please try searching again later.
Hopefully this means 343 has read this Forum Post finally and is working on it versus just logging everyone off to force everyone to Halo MCC which would be the wrong move since this game is fully Backwards Compatible. I just hope we get this restored so the best Halo game gets playable online again

Same thing has been happening to me! I will play two games of war games match-making then it will say "you appear to have lost your connection to Xbox Live. You must be connected to Xbox Live to play". My NAT rating is at OPEN and is fine also. I will exit the game and the 360 dashboard still has me on xbox live and I did not lose connection to live. I also have an xbox one and have no problem with live on there. Please 343 work on your servers! If you choose you do not want to work on your servers, please issue me a refund for the game because I only play match making war games. If any one else is experiencing this problem please speak up, so we can get this issue resolved! Thanks SwirlyMuffin69

I been suffering this bug since 2017 :( it will take just two minutes to pop up and I have to restart the game

So I am not the only one... Anyone else also having issue of not being able to save loadout? And every change I make to my Spartan also doesn't save. I tried deleting everything and reinstalling, deleting cache. No luck.

Been playing Halo for 10+ years, since Combat Evolved. If this is the service that 343 is giving it's legacy players/customers I'm not exactly inclined to spend hundreds on a new console and buy new products... That may sound contradictory considering I'm still on a 360, but in my experience past performance IS an indicator of the future.BTW: The fact that the Halo Services Status is from **2014** tells me that H4 is on it's deathbed. 343 doesn't care.Thanks for all the good times Halo...

Same issue for me.

Like ToastyGnome said: Halo 4 is probably on its deathbed because no one from 343 seems to care. It's sad how Halo 4 servers are more messed up than Halo Reach servers. Get on Halo 5 everyone, cuz in a few years those servers are gunna be done for as well.

With the latest MCC update, players with an Xbox One and MCC really have no need to fire up H4. I'd be surprised to see any effort by 343 to address this issue. They've created an alternative that (now) provides the same gameplay with a better experience, overall.

It is clear they want players to upgrade their consoles and purchase MCC.

Halo 4 is disconnecting me almost immediately, I have to not just log out and log back in to reconnect but restart the entire game, It'll start to search but it kicks me before the game even starts, even if I'm doing custom games and not use the servers but still online it'll kick me and others out. Seriously 343 please fix this!

Having all the same problems. We need to get in touch with Bonnie Ross, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft Studios and head of 343.
