Always here to help! Just ask me how!
Some may know that you can access the information stored on your HDD for an Original Xbox or 360 and extract the maps, along with other files. Now that the servers that host the Halo 2 maps are going offline, will Bungie make available the maps on their site? If not, could some legal download method be put in place for people to obtain the maps and place them on their harddrives, for LAN parties and the like?
PS, placing these files onto a memory card formatted for the Xbox would allow them to be moved onto a HDD via the Xbox's own file manager. The maps have little to no encryption that would block transfer and duplication of the files, unlike 360 files, which are heavily encrypted and keyed to the specific Xbox and user. In short, placing the files on the Bungie.net site for free download could be a useful and meaningful effort to keep the game alive, and to not let the content die with Xbox Live.
