Apparently there is some issues with the Windows Live ID's.
A friend of mine talked to the swedish head office of Activision, about the problems with connections on Call of Duty 4. He said that it is Microsoft that is experiencing some problems with Live, and he got the picture that they don't really know what is wrong. It had something to do with the Windows Live ID's.
Microsoft wants you to have one login for every service they have, instead of having one for each. Sounds good, if it works...
I am getting really fed up with these problems that occur on Live, you can't play; and the whole meaning of having a Xbox 360 is getting blurry.

private servers works alright though!
Today its horrible... I want to play !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Microsoft sued over Xbox Live outage
Irate gamers demand over $5 million in damages following slate of reported problems over holidays.
Microsoft now faces a lawsuit over recent problems with its Xbox Live online gaming service. Three Texas residents filed a lawsuit Friday on behalf of themselves and others who have had trouble connecting to Xbox Live in recent weeks.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Houston, claims Microsoft's outages represent a breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation for which the software maker is liable. The suit doesn't claim specific damages, but notes the amount is in excess of $5 million.
In the suit, the plaintiffs allege that Microsoft should have known strong holiday sales would tax its servers. "Microsoft knew the increase in subscriptions would increase game-play on its servers, yet failed to provide adequate access and service to Xbox Live and its subscribers".
Microsoft has apologized for the outage and said it would allow Xbox live subscribers to download a free game. A Microsoft representative was not immediately available for comment.
