What do you do if going to the dashboard(360) and performing maintenance on your system doesn't solve the problem of file damaging, and all it does is when you go to sign in your gamer tag isn't there and all it says is "Don't Sign in" and "Register New Account"?

Turn off your console and turn it back on. Sign into Xbox Live via the Xbox 360 dashboard and go to the "Systems" blade. Once there select Memory, Hard Drive, and Y for Device Options. In the Device Options press X, X, LB, RB, X, X, and then select Yes. Performing this action will clear any Xbox 360 updates for games you have downloaded which is no big deal because they are fairly easy to download again when launching a game over Xbox Live.

Now, press B until you return to the dashboard and go to the "Xbox Live" blade. Sign out of Xbox Live and sign back in after about one minute. Make sure you are signed into Xbox Live before launching Halo 2 and then launch the game. It should prompt you to download a required update for Xbox Live, select Yes. The update will finish and the title will restart where you should see the message again, in which you signed into Xbox Live. Once you get to the Halo 2 Main Menu, select Xbox Live and from there you will be able to access any Gold membership account with no problems at all.

If your map pack files are corrupted or damaged, I would suggest going to the Halo 2 Content Download and re download all four map packs. If that doesn't work, go to Memory, then Hard Drive, then Games, then Halo 2, and delete the map packs only. After that launch Halo 2 and then re download the map packs once again. If they fail to download you are probably experiencing a credit card issue or another various issue, in which you should contact the Xbox Live Technical Support Team here for further assistance.
