You better close this sig when your done.

Ok, I had the same problem downloading the maps the same as some of you guys on here. The error I had was when the Blastacular map pack was nearly done it would fail.

To fix it, go to the:
Dashboard
Settings
Memory
then select Halo 2
Delete all the files that have anything to do with Halo 2 updates or maps.

If you have the maps that came on the Multiplayer Map Pack CD redownload them to your xbox first (if you don't have the CD then go back to Halo 2 and download them from there.) then go back to Halo 2 and it should say Halo 2 needs an update, download the update then get the Blastacular map pack.

I hope this helps.

I don't think you should tell people to delete saves, imo the Campaign saves has nothing to do with Map Packs or playing online. There's a sticky for this and I would advise people to first try deleting the existing maps, clearing the cache, turn off the box and unplug the wires and then reattach the wires and restart the box. Some Campaign saves are precious if you have skull saves.

I meant only delete downloaded map files and Halo 2 updates, do not delete anything else.

They're not new, the dlc was taken out by mistake before H2 shuts off. People who did't have the maps or who got their maps corrupted could not get the maps and play the final weeks of H2 but MS recently put the dlc back up. It's all good now, for the dlc.
