Hi

Not sure if this has been answered already (probably has but anyway).

I'm trying to download the map packs to play online Halo 2 but when I select Content Download, and say yes to exiting Halo 2, it comes up with a black screen which does nothing (pressing the guide button doesn't do anything). I've left it for about 5 mins, but still nothing.

Is there something I'm not doing or don't have, or is there another way to do it?

Thanks

That's not the only problem. I can't even start up the game at all, for instance.
I consider myself screwed. ( -_-)

Well, I kind of got it running now. Hope to play on the 14th. ^^

I cant download them either. Lucky that I got the multiplayer map pack disc, where I can download all exept two. I hope they fix the problem

...How much memory would you say that you would need to download them all?

Not much, that's probably not the problem. People in this thread should go to Dr WE1RD's sticky. In short, you must delete any Map Packs that did go in and as soon as you do that, clear the cache. Then turn off box, unplug wires then plug back in and restart. Then get update and redown all maps. I would not waste my time with map disks because you need all maps.

I'm not able to even download the map packs. I can't get to where I download them. And I've got 26 gig left. I presume that would be more than enough

Well, did you try every step in Dr WE1RD's sticky? Some things that could be hanging you up:

Did you look at the Family Settings
Did you replace the HDD, you may need to register with MS (I have a link if you want to try)
Did you dl any maps from a disk?
Did you clear the cache?
Did you link to backwards compatibility?

I assume it says Gold account on your 360 and you can and do play other live games.

I didn't see your post in the sticky where I expressed another option. This is fixable so please answer my questions in the sticky and we'll get it figured out. I have the good doctor's permission to try and answer questions when he's away.

Family settings: Everything set to enable/no restricted/not required
Haven't tried replacing HDD
Don't have any of the map packs. I've tried to run the Map packs disc but it doesn't start. Its never worked (was second hand).
I cleared the Cache
I can play the campaign and splitscreen/sys link multiplayer and it connects to Live.

Dad's xbox seems to have the same problem, though he doesn't have Gold. I do though. Can't try my sisters, it doesn't sign in to XBL.

My problem isn't the map packs not working/downloading. It's the content downloader not working. It exits H2 then gives me a black screen.

The 'Content Download' is the map packs.
