Shoot to kill.

Hi there,

I am as shocked and saddened as everyone else about the coming loss of Halo 2 online. I am wondering however if I can play on XBL with the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack disc that Bungie released a while back. I will buy it just to play for 10 weeks if that's what it takes. Does anyone know whether this will work? Even if it only works with certain playlists I don't care. I just want to play this amazing game one more time. . .

The disc isn't actually a game, its actually a disc that downloads the maps to your Xbox so you can play them on the other disc. It has some cool videos and bonus content on it, though.

However, if you just want the maps, you can download all of them for free on the Halo 2 disc. I would do it while it still has XBL support, though.

It works on Big Team, but I think most other playlists require the Blastacular Map Pack which is not on the Map Pack disk. Still, better than nothing and you can buy it used on Amazon for less than five dollars.

Ah, that sucks. I didn't know they discontinued that yet.

RIP Halo 2

Do you know where you can buy the disk?

I tried to download the maps from the content download menu of the H2 disk and it wouldn't bring up the list. Guess I'm too late. :(

Ah crap. Seriously? I had to delete everything because it was corrupted. I thought it was just my xbox. Now I can't even get a match, because it takes forever to get a match without all the map packs.

Confirming this. I just tried to do the same. :( Bungie, fix this! I would love to play online before they take it off XBL!

Microsoft just told me they're going to put the Halo 2 DLC back up on the server. There will be an announcement in the near future and look for the downloads to be on Xbox.com within the next 1-2 weeks.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
