Is anybody else getting the message Is anybody else getting the message "Content you've downloaded is damaged and not usable. Please try downloading it again."? I downloaded the maps when they first came out, re-downloaded and got charged again, and everytime i download I am getting this message. No problems during the download, only a problem when I log into Halo 2.

I can play the maps in custom, just not matchmaking.

I appreciate your help, as it appears bungie is going to sit on their hands and pretend this isn't a problem...they didn't even mention it on the weekly update, I am sure they are patting themselves on the back becaue of such a "smooth" update. Oh, and it is the weekend, so don't expect them to resolve any issues today.

I have tried deleting the content from my dashboard, still not working after re-download.

Thanks in Advance!

Has anyone been able to fix this problem? Xbox live support is not offering much help for this. I downloaded the maps using a different hard drive no problem, so I know it is not the console.

With mine it just tells me that i don't need to redownload the maps; yet it still won't allow me to play in MM, but i am able to play custom games with the new maps. I was hoping that it was going to be fixed by this evening, but i guess i'll just have to wait till tomorrow and hope they sort it out.

Its going to be ignored. Now that Bungie has snagged our money they arent going to do -blam!- but use the "were working on Halo 3" excuse for the rest of the passing months.

In other words, most of you including me got -blam!- over, now we cant even play halo2 anymore cause Bungie wasnt smart enough to just make the maps free, better yet not release them at all. We didnt need them, and now 3/4s of the whole online community is blocked by it cause of these stupid maps.

They could have just made it so people who have the new maps just get matched up with the people who have them, and the ones that dont just stick to the old ones, they didnt have to limit our ability to play and they did that to force us to hand over 4 bucks and for what? 2 dumbadd -blam!- loaded maps that dont work no matter how many re-downloads you have done.

So you have lost 4 bucks and all the good playlists.

Thanks Bungie, we owe you one.
More like you owe us A LOT

im having the exact same problem, the only way i know how to fix it is redownload ALL the maps but i dont want to do it yet cuz im afraid that they might charge me for them

  • 06.12.2007 4:33 PM PDT

Notice how they fail to reply to this issue...

  • 06.12.2007 5:37 PM PDT

Count me in too! I haven't played H2 since the H3 beta came out, and now I get a map error. I have the bonus pack disc, and the $4 for the recent map release was charged to my credit card and was working previously. Any answers from bungie yet? I wanted to get some kills tonight...

There Is No Knowledge That Is Not Power

Yeah, same here. Haven't played for awhile because of H3, then I got the same error. Remembered them saying about how they made new maps and you wouldn't get charged, so I did, but it didn't fix the problem, and I have an email saying I was charged. So much for that. I'm patiently waiting hoping they will fix this.

I don't think you will hear from Bungie about this. It is an error with your console. I would call support (like that will be any help). Have you guys or girls tried to play every map in custom games? It might not be a problem with the new ones.
Its not, they told me to contact Bungie who tells me to contact them.

To fix this bug you have to go to your xbox menu where the whole profile for Halo 2 is located. Next, you delete the whole Halo 2 profile and then you put in the Halo 2 disc. Create your new profile and then start downloading all the maps again. Also I think there will be an update where you have to download first or something. I did this for my xbox 360 and it works. When I download the currently new map they released again, it didn't charge me because it said I purchased it already. I hope it works for you guys also.

Krafty, I had this problem as well. I re-downloaded only the FREE map packs one at a time and check to see if I got the error after each one. It ended up being the biggest one that was the problem. Now everythign works fine. Don't delete your old ones just re-download them it will correct the problem.

The exact same thing is happening to me. I did the same thing you did, redownloaded them to see which one was causing the problem and it is the largest one(Maptacular map pack). Every time I have that I get the content is damaged and unusable error. Im gonna try downloading it again later. Hopefully it will work this time. Ive never had this much trouble trying to get a game to work.
