People in Europe and places outside North America are playing. Which
means there's a server being added.

And I'm sorry you're so poor you can't afford $4/mo. I'm sure your ISP
is free, RIGHT?

PS. Live is not down - just Halo 3's online play.

Unless you got a free copy of Halo 3. Then it's totally free.

I can play Halo 3 online for free?!?!?!? oh, wait. I gotta pay for LIVE
Gold. Thank God LIVE Gold is free! oh, wait. doesn't matter either way
though if the servers are down,my free service is as good as your pay
service since neither of us are playing.

After dealing with the joke of a network the PS3 has I will pay MS with a huge
smile on my face each and every year.

This kind of thing happens with pretty much all major online releases.
Give it a bit to calm down and the problem goes away. No biggie.
