Hi, i just recently bought an xbox360, i already had halo2 but i never had the chance to play on live.. So anyway i signed up for the 1 month free live trial, and the first thing i wanted was to play halo 2 online... BUT... I cant donwnload anything, i get a message saying "no content for download" of something like that...

- Im from Portugal (europe)
- I have an xbox live gold 1 month free trial
- I sign in on xboxx live on halo 2
- I go to downloadable content and get a message that tells me there is none available (including maps)
- THE WORST ---> I CANT PLAY ANYTHING, QUICKMATCH OR WHATEVER THERE IS BECAUSE I HAVE A MESSAGE BELOW THAT SAYS I NEED A MAP (THAT I DONT HAVE OR CANT DOWNLOAD) WICH I DONT HAVE.

PLEASE HELP ME, any insight on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Compliments,
Tiago C

I'm a dude playing a dude desguised as another dude. I hate heritics, non-logical thoughts and people who are better than I am. People tell me that they like a lot of games, but I hate them all. Whenever I play a video game, I always go crawling back to Halo 3. Never go full retard!

Dear Tiago, a simular thing happened to me. I don't know what to do. I will read what other people write to try to solve the problem too.

if your on a XBOX 360 , Then erase the maps you can't download from the hard drive, then REDOWNLOAD them.

Like i said, i never played on xbox live before. And i can´t even download anything, or any maps because when i go to downloadable content, a message appears telling me there isnt any content available for download, still im missing maps to play halo 2 multiplayer. I CANT even play quickmatch or optimatch on the "old maps" cause i cant control wich map to use... There is something wrong, and the fellow wich replied after me is having the same problem. We could use some input on how to fix it...

what the guy says is proberly correct....

i know here in australia we had a similar problem n it was because the setting that allows u to play original xbox games wasnt activate(i think thats what it was from memory anyways) if not, try clearing ur cache. that might help....

sorry i cant offer u much in the way of help

I did the whole clear your cache thing, but it didnt work, it cleared something but it didnt re-downloaded the updates for the dashboard like some people said it would...
I looked for all the options on system settings, the family option where i can decide wether i can let downloadable content or whatever doesnt even let me enter it, cause it tells me i dont have a child profile on my xbox 360 (wich i dont), so even if i wanted to get in that option, i couldnt...

I tried again, and still, it tells me no downloadable content available... Why isnt there a faq for these problems? Looks like they just dont care...

Still, any info on how to overcome this problem would be appreciated.

Didnt work, i phoned support, they gave me a number for cell phones, i called them from my cell phone and asked "is this call free?" they said "yes", i ended up being on hold for a LOT of time, telling a woman 4 times or more the same problem, and in the end she tells me she doesnt know how to fix it, that i probably need a credit card to buy the maps "even though they are FREE"... To worsten things up, my phone call ends cause im out of CREDIT on my cell phone...

This is a joke, must be... And still NO MAPS!!!

i dont know what to tell you. go to your settings and make sure you have your down loadable content on. it propbably wont make a differnce b/c its an original x box game but just try. Also, the network has been down and up the last few days so i would wait it out. thirdly, it doesnt matter really b/c halo 3 is coming in a few more days.

Were you on a regular XBox before? I'm trying to help you, but I need more info. Did you recover your account from an XBox, or did you set up a brand new account on this 360?....Reading over your post again, I just thought of something....

You said you went to content download. Did you do that on the XBox 360 dashboard? If so, you're in the wrong place to download the Halo 2 maps. You need to put the Halo disc in and go to the download content on the Halo game itself.
