I dunno, I seem to be having the same problem with my Halo 2.... I've got this setup
Xbox 360 Core w/ Hard Drive and 2 mem cards
Cable Hi Speed internet

The only 4 types which let us play are:
Double Team
Team Training
Team Hardcore
Big Team Battle

All other optimatch types are showing the error message You are missing a map required by this playlist. It may be available for download.

you can't load the maps because they updated them and you have to re-download them.
(don't worry, you won't be charged)

It could be that one or two of your old maps got corrupted. I'd wipe Halo 2 and reinstall.

If it does charge you, you can call support and they can refund your money. Remeber that it cost $4 per console, not per GT.


eff bungie, i shouldnt have to go through all this crap just to play a damn game of slayer ranked, i dont even have another 4 bucks on my credit card right now to be charged by, i already payed the 4 bucks for the damn maps its stupid that you have to pay again to re dl, on gears of war the new maps were around 8 bucks and the dl got screwed up and i had to re dl them but it didnt ask to charge me or anything it just let me re dl them again since i already purchased it, i dont see how hard it is for bungie to do the same or fix the damn problem cuz im not the only one with this problem

Its not the new maps thats the problem, its your xbox, if your problem is like mine then u will hear some noises comming from the xbox itself after a game you just played and before it gives you the msg. I think its either a problem with the disc drive or the hard drive, what i do is just reboot my xbox and play for a couple maps until it decides to make noises on me. My party gets frustrated but theyve learned to deal with it.

It's been said before and I'll say it again. You won't be charged for a second download. I ran into the same problem, and it didn't charge me for a second time.
