When I play Halo 2 for my Xbox it won't play Outskirts and The Great Journey. On the Multiplayer maps it won't play Ivory Tower, Blood Gulch, Acension, its hard to remember but theres about three others. I'd like some help please.

Try cleaning the disk. If not, then try deleting your multiplayer map pack downloads and redownloading them. If neither work, then you may need to buy another copy of the game. Is the disked scratched or smudged in any way?

its a little scratched. But I had a system link party and my friend took my copy. My copy was clean. he traded it the next day.

Clean the disk with alcohol or borrow another disk to see.

Eeesh. You should make him get you a new copy, haha.

Well, you should try cleaning it with ...toothpaste! XD Im not even joking, no matter how strange it sounds. Get a sock, turn it inside out, and put a SMALL amount of toothpaste on it, then rub it into the disk. Me and my friend did this to my Halo 2 disk when it started messing up, and it's held over the years quite nicely.

Oh, and put some water on the disk before you rub the toothepaste in.

In that case you should delete the Downloadable Map Content and re-download it. My friend was having problems like this, and after deleting/redownloading the maps it was fixed.

I did that twice.

Then all I have is cleaning the disk (preferably toothpaste).

Ok I have a problem. I picked up the blind skull in the level before Metropolis and I can't get my radar back as well as my targeting reticle. Its right after the Pelican crashes and you jump onto the light and then jump and crouch and once on top turn left and proceed down the allyway and pick up the skull your radar and targeting reticle disappear as well as your ammo counter

Restart the Xbox or eject the disc and reload the game to disable the skull effect.

Can you play through the level and it will stop? Or does it go all the way though the levels?

It will stay for all levels until you turn off the box or eject the disk.

Some parts are easy because you get used to where the enemies, weapons and cover is located. It's about memory. Don't try to play Cairo Station until you get through some other levels because most say it is the hardest. Always look for where the snipers are located, stay back and take them out first, if you can.

The better players here (these guys are good) may not see this post so you might want to make a topic so you can ask a lot of questions if you really want to learn.

We're not answering the OP's question anymore. There were several other questions asked.

He's saying that we should get back the the question at hand that has been brought up by the Original Poster. He's right too. If you've got a question or problem, make a new thread after searching around a little. That's what the forum is for, so there's no need to derail someone else's thread.

To the OP- Have you tried clearing your Xbox's cache? If not, you might want to give that a try. I've had similar problems to this, and clearing/resetting my cache solved my problems. If that doesn't work, then I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said. Unless there's a problem with your Xbox's internals, such as the lens, then it should work fine.
