Subject: cannot play halo 2 online with my 360

hello all
my bad if this has already been posted (which is prolly has)
basicly i cant play halo 2 online.
when i sign in i get the message 'content you've downloaded is damaged and not usable. please try downloading it again'.
when i go to matchmaking it says 'you are missing a map required by this play list. it may be available for download'.
when i go to the halo 2 downloader it says that i have all the maps apart from the Blastacular Pack, so its obviously these maps that are causing the problem. however when i go to download the maps it looks like its downloading as normal but when the download seems to have finished i get the message 'Installation of content failed.

ive tried deleting all the maps packs, but when i go to download them again it just doesnt let me. I click download and nothing happens.

Can anyone help as its driving me mad.

Also could i recover my gamertag on the original xbox and play halo 2 from that?

first, you cant recover a 360 account to a Classic Xbox.
second. You said youve deleted all the map packs and went to download them again and cant right? this my be overkill but try deleting ALL Halo 2 data on your hard drive and set up a new Halo 2 Profile and redownload the maps.

if you need help just send me a PM.

hope that helps you out.

Try following the steps listed here. 90% of the time they will fix the problems that you may have, the other 10% can usually be fixed by a call to Microsoft.

Hi there
Im not sure why but went back again to see if i could download the maps from scratch again, and thankfully it let me download them. after waiting for them all to finish loading i went on matchmaking to try it.

IT WORKS :)

Thanks for your help. I noticed ur post from before regarding halo 2 matchmaking problems. so i followed some of ur steps, even though i tried most of them myself earlier. Least it showed me i wasnt doing anything wrong.
