Thank you. I sent them a message requesting for them to make the maps available. I doubt it will do much good; but I wanted to try.


They have a twitter called xboxsupport. Tweet them my video. and complain about the dlc.

EDIT: Here is a twitter friendly url: http://bit.ly/coiXPA

I'm having trouble with this as well.

Just so everyone knows, i read on Joystiq that they got a email from Ms and they are working to restore the content. So we will get it back some time... so when it comes happy downloading till April 15th. At least someone finally said something.

I just got off the phone with the highest up guy I could talk to at MS, and he said he HOPED it would be in a week or something like that.

I just read that Joystiq article too. That's good news.

Obviously it's not official yet, but this shows even MS will bow down to the Halo community!

I almost cannot believe Microsoft would discontinue Live support for the Originals, even when they re-released many of them on Marketplace!

Then, to make things worse, they remove all the DLC without warning.

I've had enough experience with their damn Customer Support to say they always find a fix, but this really makes me sick.

I've been really lucky this year, must really be some sort of divine force out there. What else could have given me the patience and downright Halo fever to download the maps and play online ONCE about two weeks ago.

Not rubbing it in or anything, but I'm extremely glad 'cause it means all my stuff SHOULD be in order to send-off this beast.

Hope this gets all gets resolved.

Now, I just need to figure out how I'm going to unlock Foundation, with my damn disk that doesn't let me load Cairo Station, and I have no Campaign progress whatsoever!

A number of them didn't have any online modes. And hardly anyone plays Xbox Originals anymore, which is part of why MS are shutting down the servers.

While they did tell us they were closing the servers, they probably should have warned people about the DLC server going down before everything else. Unless they figured that most people would have the DLC already, which would seem reasonable given the game's been out for five years now.

Do we have to re-buy the maps when they are put back on the server though?

I love Halo 2, but I don't want to spend another 10-15 dollars on DLC I'll only be able to use for a month.

no. same price as usual: FREE!!!

  • 02.10.2010 7:56 PM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

All Halo 2 DLC has been free as of June '07, I don't see why they wouldn't be free now.

Happy to see the DLC's back up, I can't wait to get my ass kicked on Halo 2 tomorrow.

YOU ALL BETTER PLAY LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD. >=|

Suck it? How mature.

Well I believe ske7ch said that before all the DLC was removed.

I'm not quoting the terms of use to be a downer I'm just saying this is what Microsoft contractually obligated to do, nothing, so what do you think Microsoft will end up doing...leaving the DLC off, or re-releasing the DLC to be downloaded for free and lose money on bandwith? Be real what do you think is going to happen.

Bungie needs to tweek the H2 playlist to be DLC optional, or players need to buy the DLC disk or figure out a way to download it from somewhere else.


I'm sorry if your feelings were hurt, but I wasn't really looking for the "Terms of Use" excuse that keeps flying around, but interested more in a remedy for the current issue at hand. I am sure that Bungie will work something out in Halo 2's final hours and hopefully not quote Microsoft's terms of use as an easy no-brainer way out.

If ske7ch said that prior to the removal of the DLC, I would think something would be done.

Let's say that Jesus decided that on October 15, 2010 that this would be the last year for Christmas and there was a shortage of toys. Do you think Santa would sit back and let it happen? No way in hell, Santa would make sure that Christmas 2010 would be epic. There would be something under the tree for all regardless of the "Terms of Use".

So, if you understand what everyone is hoping for.....great. If not...........then.........SUCK IT!

We were both looking for the same outcome. DLC is back. I'm thankful that H2 can properly sent off. See you all in MM

At this point, I would tell it to all the guys too. I played a few games of SWAT and it was amazing. I feel almost guilty for having not played Halo 2 in such a long time,but I am definately glad I get to before it's gone. Thanks again.

Now let's get some games going!!(but I won't be back on till tonight)

It's in the box.

Can't wait to get home and start downloading...

Now if they only made all of the XBox originals DLC free; that would be the type of send-off I'd like to see.

Ha ha, yeah, guess I nailed the Microsoft logic, eh?

Hmm... I tried to download the two maps I was missing (Derelict & Hang Em'High) on my lunch break, but they don't show up in Halo 2's DLC section. Only the Blastacular, Maptacular, Bonus, & Killtacular map packs show up and none of them include the two maps I'm missing. That's probably why I thought I had all Halo 2's DLC. Can someone please tell me how I download the Derelict and Hang Em'High maps?

UPDATE: Oh, good grief. I just pulled out my old copy of Halo to check the multi-player map names, and sure enough, Derelict and Hang Em'High are what the names of the two Halo 2 maps I'm missing went by in the first Halo. Desolation and Tombstone are the maps... so, um... I'm gonna' go crawl under a rock and play Halo 2. hehe
