Okay, I will apologize first if this seems to be a stupid question...but please look to and understand all the players frustrations as to why I ask this.

I have called Microsoft's tech support, and I must say that they don't seem very smart or even all that technical when you speak to them.

Regardless, is there anyone that we can communicate our frustrations to about Blitz:The League being seemingly blacked out ???

I tried to connect this past weekend with two different people and we could never connect to play.
This happens all the time.
If you read the forums for playing online, you will see a lot of people complaining about this.

And MIDWAY, if you read these forums, for the record...Microsoft's tech support blames you for the black out's and ask the customers to contact you about this issue.

I sincerely doubt this, but I have to ask now my second question, which is-is it true, is it you that we need to communicate these outages to?

MIDWAY, can you help us?

BLITZ is not the macarena. It takes patience.
Like an old prostitute, it takes years to learn her tricks.
She is cruel & laughs at you when you are naked, but you go back for more!
Because she is the only one you can afford.

Dapredater - I sent a link to your note to all the admins. I personally do not have contacts with Midway, but some of the others do.

Also, I'd suggest you post a similar request on the Tech Issues board. That may also get a quicker response.

If I hear anything else. I will post it here.

Hmmm...that may be too strong a word...it's just my frustration showing through.lol

Midway's Support Department has been notified; bug them if you get no joy ... they work for the publisher and can push for visibility from there as well.

http://support.midway.com - then "ask a question" to open a support ticket

Are you sure that there's a "blackout"? I didn't have any trouble connecting to a game with my friend. There wasn't nobody else online though. I guess everyone else is playing COD4 and Halo 3.

I was being unfair in using too strong of a word in "BLACKOUT."

It really is more like constant connection problems.
Most times when I try to connect, to play with someone, it takes quite a few tries to make a connection happen.

More often than not, however, I just quit and play another game.
And that's really a shame, considering how many people love playing Blitz:The League.
