    Same here. Xbox Live is very very slow, and the dash board does not even boot up half the time after logging into live. Very poor service right now.

    I really dont think M$ counted on the Live signups like they got. And COD4 is just hit and miss right now. I wish they would let us host our own games instead of running off their servers. You get much better connection that way.

    CoD4 games don't run off of their servers. It's all peer-to-peer, and the host is auto-assigned according to connection speed when the game is created; their servers are used for game types and matchmaking. So if you're hosting a party and search for a ranked game, it may throw you into an empty room, making you the host without telling you, then populate your room using the matchmaking from their server. That's why so many times you'll get dropped from a room if the wrong person backs out of the game. And since you don't know you're the host, you don't know that you shouldn't back out of the game. A coming patch will prevent this, reassigning the host a la Halo 2/3 if the person hosting drops out.

    The free game will be announced in the future, hopefully after they un-f#&k Live.
