Gamespy Lobbies will no longer be available
Gamespy will no longer be hosting game services.
Halo Demo and Halo PC will really be dead... Now is the time for the Blam! Developer Communities Network to step up its game! HaloMD will be the only real option now. I don't know what Gearbox will do...

Either you are groping for answers, or you are asking God and listening to Jesus.

Pretty sure the Halo servers are under Master License Agreement and will continue to function. This only effects games whose developers use the Open Program network.
Re: Gamespy Lobbies will no longer be available
Great, if that's the case.
Edit: I just realized this whole hosting business thing was a sham, just a gimmick to advertise paid services. What a waste. I feel really sorry for everyone involved.

It appears that the gamespy lobby for Halo PC Trial is now really dead.
I am no longer active to Halo or MGM, and don't guarantee a response on the forums or through email. I will however linger around the discord room for general chatting. It's been fun!
Re: Gamespy Lobbies will no longer be available
I was just playing Halo Full Mac (PPC) and there is 1 server, a dedicated server with 0/10 players.
Halo Full Mac (UB) has 1 server presently, a player-hosted server with 12/12 players. When it got down to 8/12, I tried joining it, but it said, "Unable to join the game server!". Then another room opened up, called "The Snipa Jungle", but closed before I had a chance to join it, within a couple seconds. That means still one server.
Halo Demo apparently uses the same servers as Halo Full Mac (UB), which is why I wasn't able to join the game from Halo Full Mac (UB) -- it was actually a Halo Demo PPC hosted server. So I loaded up Halo Demo PPC Mac and discovered this was the case, and joined the game. Really, then, Halo Full Mac (UB) has no servers (or maybe I'm using a hacked version of the executable?) and Halo Demo PPC still has anywhere from 1 to 5 servers, in my experience.
Halo Mini Demo seems to have 4 servers going, 3 dedicated ones with 0/16 players and a fourth populated with 4/16 players.

You probably have the hacked exec that loads the demo servers on the full app. MD has four dedicated. Normally populated with around ten regular players, on a good day we'll see two or three user made servers with the four dedis and twenty people distributed throughout them.
Re: Gamespy Lobbies will no longer be available
Also, this may occur if you use an outdated Halo UB.
Re: Gamespy Lobbies will no longer be available
I'm unable to connect to the Halo Demo lobby as of now. Has the lobby been shut down permanently? Anyone that has a computer that can still run demo can help verify this.

Re: Gamespy Lobbies will no longer be available
nil, the Halo Demo lobby works for me.
Try doing a hard reset on your router by holding down the reset button in the back of it for 30 seconds. That solved a number of my internet problems.

Re: Gamespy Lobbies will no longer be available
Gamespy is shutting down at the end of May, so it looks like the Gamespy lobby really will be dead by then for Halo full and demo. (Fortunately for us we still have our MD lobby).

Re: Gamespy Lobbies will no longer be available
Jeez, well that means that I will have to go on Halo Demo and see if there are still people playing on there. Convincing them to download MD is always tough but if I mention that Gamespy is for sure closing by the end of May, that will hopefully make them change their minds
