i have never played halo 2 online so when i saw it was shuting down i thought i'd give it a go just to know but i cant :/

when it asks me which online profile i want to use i select mine and it says network problems start trouble shooter if i do that i go back to the dashboard and everything is fine so WTF? ive looked around and some people have said that i need to go onto the family settings and allow original xbox games but because im not o a chil profile i cant access those settings

can anyone help?

The only time you can't access the family settings is if you are on a child profile. If you can't access these settings then your profile is a child one. If you can access these settings disable them all.

Sometimes people have issues if they have a lot of profiles on their console also, get rid of ones you don't use.

Make sure you have all of the DLC for the game.

You don't download the stuff from the marketplace, you get it where it says content download once you hit the xbox live menu in the game itself.

Here is a list of everything you can try to get online with the game.

ok i have set up a fake account and that got on to halo 2 no problem and have now started D/Ling the maps with my main account, my question is could it be that my main account is currently runing of a 48 hr trial and thats why it wont let me on? the fake account was a child account so i could edit the family settings to allow original xbox games but i cant do this with my main account is there any other way of making my main account allow original xbox games?

The 48 hour trial may be part of the issue. I can't say for sure but I know that sometimes not having a ''permanent'' account can sometimes cause problems for some reason. As for changing the account I am kind of at a loss on that one, you should be able to go into your settings menu and adjust the family settings with it, if you can't the only thing I can think of is to start a new account. If it is not a child account and you can't change the settings you may wanna give Microsoft support a ring, they may be able to help you figure out what's wrong better than I can.

Don't know if I'm too late, but Halo 2 won't let me play online unless my account is on my Hard Drive. (no memory cards)
