I may be stupid, but I'm not an idiot... just call me an oxymoron.

dude, i'm having the same problem...trying again right now.

Did you do all these steps? (From Xbox.com/support)

To connect to Xbox Live with Halo 2 using your Xbox 360, you must follow the steps shown below:

1. Confirm you are using a Standard AV connection (yellow, white and red cables) between your TV and Xbox 360 (you can switch back to your prior configuration after you completed these steps).
2. Insert Halo 2 in the disc tray
3. We recommend that you remove any Saved games before proceeding.
4. Press start, select a profile for example, "Default", then select your gamertag to sign in to Xbox Live,select "Get Update".
5. Your screen will go black for a moment, then the download will begin, then your Xbox will restart (if this fails, you may have a faulty internet connection, we recommend you confirm that your internet connection if functioning properly).
6. Log back in, select a profile, then select "Content Download", then select "Exit Halo 2"
7. Select your gamertag from the list
8. Download all the maps "Maptacular Pack", "Halo 2 Bonus Maps", and the "Killtacular Pack"
9. With your game in the disc tray, shut off your system and turn it back on. At this point you can readjust your AV cables if needed.
10. Log into the game, and start playing.

You have to do all that just to play Halo 2 on Live if you have a 360? Jeez I just wanted to play a few games on Lockout today and I get all this crap about installing updates and downloading maps I don't even want to play.

What do you suppose people who don't have their composite cables anymore do in this situation?
