Its your router settings.

If you go to the 360 site it has guides on how to change the settings for most Routers on the market.

 

Myself and a few of my mates are having the same problems as yourself, but on call of duty world at war. but on all the other games it seems ok.

 

Could be your firewall not allowing the ports needed through or forwarding them to your xbox.
You might get a "Strict NAT" error.

I also turned off UPNP on my modem, and they gave all sorts of issues, so check thats turned on too.

 

Its just xbox live at the moment, been having grief ever since they sent out the upgraded new version, its fucking wank.

Keep dropping friends while being in the online gamer party. There will probably be a patch soon to try and sort all teh glitches (sp) etc.

 

Deffinatly NAT settings.

From you have said the same thing used to happen to me on Forza 2.

 

I've had this, basiclly set the DNS settings manually don't use DHCP for them. You'll need to go onto your router and find out what your ISP DNS IP address are once you have them set them manually to the console.

Most new routers have a setting for gaming now.

 

do NOT do that, most ISP's change their DNS servers from time to time and then it won't work
