Alright guys, me and some other guys have figured out how to get games working. You need to join as a group to a "fresh" server. Anyway, since I'm online almost all night every night (as well as right now), I'm almost always willing to start up some fresh servers. If you'd like to avoid the 30 minutes of server bouncing, add me as a friend to your in-game multiplayer friends' list, and join game.
Also, right now, at this very moment, we need 3 more people for the game to start. Add me, join my game, and let's get the fraggin' going!
