Save Lives. Go Vegan.

I want to download the maps for Halo 2 that are available on LIVE which are apparently downloaded by going to the LIVE section on Halo 2. When I load Halo 2, I press start and sign in, then it asks me if I want to connect to XBL. I select my XBL profile and it tries to sign me in, but after several seconds it says that it failed. The options are troubleshoot and cancel. Obviously cancel does nothing. When I troubleshoot my 360 says that everything is fine. It is also fine when I exit Halo 2 and go to marketplace. Same thing happens when I go to the LIVE section of H2 and try to sign in. The first time I loaded Halo 2 on my 360 when connected to live, it updated to 1.5 and unlocked Foundation however it will not let me go to the LIVE section. I have tried this multiple times. Any help will be very much appreciated. BTW, I have contacted Xbox customer support, which was no help. (customer support never seems to work with anything...)

Have you checked the router settings (in the box itself) and are you switching the cat5 cable from 360 to the regular box?

Have you played live from that box with any game?

I play Halo 2 on my 360. I haven't played LIVE on it because I don't have gold because my internet is too slow however I have downloaded Cold Storage and the Heroic Map Pack for Halo 3. Thanks!

TEAM Free For All? I can't wait to see how Bungie pulls this one off.

Yeah, it's awesome. Legendary Brawl is the world's only 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1 team multiplayer experience.

There's your problem, you can't play xbox live with a silver membership. It will say can't connect to xbox live if you have silver.

I know I can't play with Silver, but I am simply trying to download maps. I have downloaded maps for Halo 3 with Silver. Is Gold required to even just download the maps for Halo 2?

If it can be imagined, then it exists.

Yes, gold is required. Unless that is, you want to get the dvd version of them.

Oh, okay, thanks for letting me know. Was Silver inexistant before the release of Xbox 360?
