Subject: Playing Halo 2 on the 360

When I try and play Halo 2 on my jebby457 account, it only gives me options for registering a new account or using 'Default'. How do I get my Live account on to Halo 2? Thanks in advance.

I hate bumping my own posts (I understand that it's 'highly illegal', but it was only bumped five places up a forum that is no longer really active), but I'd really like an answer for this. I've researched in quite a lot of places to no avail. I've tried downloading the updates off of Xbox Live, but it keeps insisting upon another update and it never gets finished.

I had the same problem last night.
Use the 360 button to exit Halo 2,
Sign in from the profiles section in the 360 dashboard,
After it logs in go to the bottom and click on Halo 2 and you should be in.

There may be some update prompts when you get online in Halo 2. You may even have to load the maps again.

It actually signs me out of my Live account before I open the game.

Yes it did that to me also but then once the game loaded up I was able to sign in from the game.

Log into Halo 2 XBL and then go to "content download".

You should find the maps there.

I had this problem.. I just messed around, freaking out, puching buttons until it worked. Honestly. I kept trying to sign in on my account, did it the second time I tried that. Don't know what the deal is, but whatever. It worked.

I have never had that problem but my problem is that it takes forever to load the maps

That thing to me is just whether you´d like to use a existing profile or create a new one, if theres non created it will just say default instead. Unless you got one of your acounts on your machine set to auto sign-in you´ll be getting the option of picking an account after that you´ve picked a profile. None of my accounts are on auto sign-in and thats what its like to me, in other no problems.

How do you set an account to auto sign-in?

It did that for me too but then once the game loaded up I was able to sign in from the Halo 2 menu with no problem.
