The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Ran into a COD4 player on

Ran into a COD4 player on the Infinity Ward forums who found a work-around for the corrupt class data issue. I asked him how, and he revealed it to me. I'm going to give it a try this afternoon, so if anyone is playing later on tonight, perhaps I'll be able to join!

The way he got around it, is apparently, if you join a free-for-all match AND get host, then the corrupt class data is ignored, and you won't get kicked. You stay in the room and keep playing games until you reach Level 4, then quit, go into your custom classes, change them all to "Default", then you can join matches no problems, even if you're not host. The catch is that you MUST be host until you reach Lvl 4, and you have to play with default only classes thereafter, instead of custom ones. But I suppose it's better than not playing at all.

This explains why, every time I tried to play a game, I could join a match almost instantly on XBL, but as soon as the screen pops up where you choose a class, I got kicked, and the message "Lobby Closed" and "Player Kicked" messages popped up. I just wasn't getting host.
