Trouble playing Farcry3 on Xbox Live

I think this is probably a Ubisoft server problem, not an Xbox Live or Plusnet problem.
I select multiplayer or co-op, it then tries in vain to put me into a game. I wait 30 mins and after many errors etc it still doesnt work. When I do manage to get a game, I get in straight away without any waiting. Co-op seems easier to get into than multiplayer.
I am on wired connection, I have selected game sharing for xbox live on my thomson router. Is there anything I can do or is this a known problem with the game?

Jan 14 14:51:23 FIREWALL replay check (1 of 20): Protocol: ICMP Src ip: 74.60.128.62 Dst ip: Y.Y.Y.Y Type: Destination Unreachable Code: Port Unreacheable
(I replaced my static IP with Y.Y.Y.Y above)
I am not sure if this error is related/helpful, just FYI.

I spent 10 mins looking and failing to get into online games, during this period there were four different errors of the type shown above, as follows:
Jan 14 20:39:37 FIREWALL replay check (1 of 1): Protocol: ICMP Src ip: 84.171.211.228 Dst ip: Y.Y.Y.Y Type: Destination Unreachable Code: Communication Administratively Prohibited
Jan 14 20:37:23 FIREWALL replay check (1 of 13): Protocol: ICMP Src ip: 86.26.94.94 Dst ip: Y.Y.Y.Y Type: Destination Unreachable Code: Host Unreacheable
Jan 14 20:32:39 FIREWALL replay check (1 of 80): Protocol: ICMP Src ip: 200.180.168.94 Dst ip: Y.Y.Y.Y Type: Destination Unreachable Code: Port Unreacheable
Jan 14 20:27:28 FIREWALL replay check (1 of 4): Protocol: ICMP Src ip: 92.13.87.190 Dst ip: Y.Y.Y.Y Type: Destination Unreachable Code: Port Unreacheable
Then, I was able to get into a co-op online game. I played it for 10 mins then quit out. During that period there were no errors in the log.

I've just noticed your post and I've experienced a similar problem with XBL multiplayer with this game too, I didn't notice any errors though. What errors did you see whilst trying to find/get into a game?

I can spot the problem early now though, then I just sign out your xbox live profile and resign in then the problem is gone.
It's just some bug with the game or the ubisoft servers.

I've been experimenting a lot to find a weapon I feel comfortable with, I think I have settled for the Vector SMG and bow as secondary weapon when I need range. Look me up (mameha) if you fancy playing some co-op or MP.

Alas, the guns you get in co-op/MP are underpowered compared to the story mode, and the signature weapons are not available. I use the Vector SMG which is similar to the shredder.
For what its worth I prefer the silenced sniper rifle to the AMR in story mode, although recently I am starting to use the bow/takedown approach instead of sniping.

Ahh, but the AMR takes down heavies in one shot, and heavy beatdown isn't unlocked until you're almost on the second island

As long as you're about 150m away they won't catch you with the AMR. One disadvantage is you can't open crates with animals in with it - it just kills the animal. I do like doing bow/takedowns though, feels great when you get it right.
