Subject: The new update broke Halo 2!

After many hours of halo 3, I decided to strole down memory lane and popped in halo 2 into my 360. The message came up, "new update available" and allowed it to download. When I tried to set up a split scene game, the countdown timer stopped and the scene flashed "The map failed to load" it was headlong, not one of the DLC maps, so I was perplexed. I went map to map, trying to see what would load, and nothing did. Now, the game worked pre-halo 3, and I believe the update I downloaded did something that was not supposed to, and left me here, posting on the forums, instead of playing halo 2.

you seriously think I did not try that. I restarted the 360 several times with no luck, and later on as well to make sure. No, something is seriously wrong with the game. Some of the menu's graphics dont load imediately or at all such that when I bring up the profile screne for about 5 seconds it wont display anything, but the profiles can still be accessed, or will just sit there. Additionally, the "failed to load map" message appears somewhat randomly. Sometimes the countdown actually goes through and others it starts off displaying that message. I am currently looking (in vein) for the update on my hard drive to remove it and then download it again because this is BS.

The 360 ALWAYS has a hard time loading some maps on H2 after playing H3. It happens to tons of people. And it wasnt the update that caused it.

It sounds like a scratched disk to me. I would try cleaning it, you never know, it may work. Goodluck to you.
