Hey.

Whenever I try to join a certain friends party I cannot join if he is the host or I am, which means to talk to him in a party I need to get another friend (who I can connect to fine) to start a party and invite both of us.. I can literally connect to 95 pct of my friends list, only 3 of them I cannot connect to them.. It's just really frustrating having to talk through messages rather than just partys.. if he wants to invite me to a cod 4 lobby a screen will pop up saying "unable to connect to host"

Also my nat is open..

PLease help

I'm really surprised that didn't work, did you make sure all of your friends had their ports open as well? I had the same issue with my friend and when we both opened our ports we were able to connect to each other's game. My only real guess is that its an issue with you and your friend's routers and if you all have your ports opened it should work.
