I'm in the same boat as ^^^^ there's at least 4 friends on my FL that I can not join there's and they can not join mines. The only thing that works is if I wait for them to get into a game then join there game but I can not join there lobby.

Ight both of yas. if ur tryin to join someones list and u cant get in then join through pressing Triangle then join session from there. that always works, tell your friends to do that then they can finally join just like me and u had that problem superimiani :P oh and tell your friends to press select in their lobby or something so they can change their lobby preferences to OPEN and not invite only..

Yeah I think the problem might be on there end maybe there NAT is set to moderate or something. When I tried joining yours or there's I always get the same error msg "SERVER IS FULL" or "GAME SESSION NOT AVAILABLE".

It is a NAT issue and the ports that need to be opened have changed from those that worked for MW2. You need to set up the old Activision Port numbers (MW2 ran on the M$ Port numbers). If I am not mistaken, there is only one number that has changed. ATVI Amber was listing this info out yesterday.

You must login or register to view this content.

Search down to yesterday's twits and you should see some discussions about NATs and Ports.

But let's be realistic, you're still not going to be able to find a match even if you can party up.

Well it depends, I think you still need to set up the UPnP for each port (or is that something different?). Now if you are talking about setting a DMZ, that's a bit different. Once you go DMZ there really is nothing more that is going to help you.

Hell if worse comes to worse, hook your cable modem directly to your console, at that point there are no router issues to be dealt with at all and you are OPEN as can be.

EDIT: @Super - See that last port they are using on the Xbox? The 33233 one? That is the kicker between this game and MW2. I know we needed it for WAW so I have had it preset forever.
