Cue the "Welcome Back, Kotter" theme music! Xbox Live has returned to normal saving gamers unable to play their favorite online titles from boredom and saving Microsoft at least a few more hate letters to read. After hitting a
speed bump during the maintenance, which only served as a stepping stone toward the New Xbox Experience, the Live service is back online.
Remember there are no new features added to the Xbox 360 or Xbox Live service at this time. We expect some connections to be a little bumpy as millions of fans attempt to reconnect at once but things will smooth over time.
So, the question now remains. Is Xbox Live working for you?

call of duty 4 on live is having a lot of problems joining games.
You get disconnected messages etc even though you are connected
the screen freezes and you are then in a game.

Same thing here in N.Y. I can't get in to a game for sh*t. I wonder how long it's going to take for me to play some Call of Duty 4.

Same thing with COD4 for me too, i start up a game and it says "Unable to join game session" then after doing that about 10 times it will say "Sorry but you need an active internet connection to play online or system link games" Which i do have. However i went in a party with someone and tried team tactical and it was working and everyone in there seemed surprised they got in, it takes patience but it eventually works, they should be fixed soon i hope.

CoD 4 is very crappy today. First at around 5 CET got 1,5 hours of good game, but then it's been impossible to get into a game. Also, in dashboard the marketplace is very slow in loading, and now I get "can't sign into messenger" even though I'm signed into XBL.

Luckily I stopped trying to wait for XBL to come back and passed out at like 5:30 AM EST. When I logged onto XBL at 11:57 PM it was all good.

I'm still having connection problems with CoD 4 but i went to go play Halo 3 just to check if it was just CoD 4 and i played a custom game and it was a breeze.
I don't know something is up with CoD 4
