GT: FatalxXxFrenzy -Check out my fileshare!! Map titled "Lagoon"

So I just bought halo 2 for windows vista today because Microsoft is dropping xbox support of the game. My computer exceeds the required specs and has windows vista.

I installed the game and everything seemed to be going fine. I got to the LIVE login screen from which I chose to import my LIVE account. I entered my email and password. Then it said it a LIVE update was needed. So i hit 'update'.

The update bar very quickly fills all the way until very little is left. Then it seems to get stuck. I waited for a good 15 minutes with it still like this. Then tried again. The same thing happened. I have no idea what to do. Please help. All is appreciated!

Can't be too careful with your company. I can feel the devil walking next to me.

I had to "update" at least 3 times before it worked for me. I also had to install the map editor before it worked.

How would I go about installing the map editor. I downloaded the game first. So now it always boots up the halo 2 main menu.

Reinsert the disc, and it should pop up with something like setup.exe. Run that, and the bottom one should be Install Halo 2 Map Editor.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Step 1: go here:
http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo2/
Step 2: Install the latest halo 2 update.
Step 3: Download and install the newest gfwl update here:

You should now have fully patched halo 2 pc.
