Subject: A way has to exsist, we would like a chance Bungie.

It's funny how when something gets taken away from you, you want it that much more. I've had Halo 2 since launch and now almost a month after the termination of the phenomonal online play has ended i want all of the maps.

I tracked down a good copy of the multiplayer map pack and baught it for a cool $6, but of course as it has been discussed on this website the remaining two maps are not on this disk.

I find it a little odd Bungie just lets these maps become unobtainable and on the road to extinction as players no longer have the memory of them on their hard drive, though i understand they are set full focus on the future of bungie as well as their current product Halo Reach.

Is it possible to put these 2 maps on a memory card and transfer them on to another xbox console? I'm sure the awnser is no, but would it work?

If a solution cannot be found to obtaining these maps i hope Bungie will have the time to possibley release these downloads as a final shout out to those who loved this game. Theres alot of us out there still who would like to play Halo 2 multiplayer and system link. I truley beleive these maps are essential to the full Halo 2 Multiplayer experience.

I know i feel strongly on this subject, post here if any of you Halo 2 fans agree!

Jorge is hungarian or something like that (more than likely a new race, that a lot of cultures were combined into)

If you really loved halo you would have them already on your xbox. I have them on both the original and 360.

You'll need the latest halo update (1.5 from memory) in order to use them unless you have lolhaqz and can copy them over and replace an existing map, but then anyone you play with online will also need to have the map located on the same place.

>hurr durr im fortunate enough to have these and you dont so I'm going to look down on you and say my fanhood is superior

I was still playing halo CE when halo 3 came out, and just recently got a 360, and didn't get H2 until after the servers got closed.

when you have to deal with an xbrick and lose your maps I'll have the last laugh.

also, the patch runs automatically if you LAN, so a 1.2 can be updated if someone else has 1.5

If you're looking for my Halo 2 online records my account was "Destri" back then, but for some reason xbox live won't let me link it to my bungie profile :( Well whatever I guess.

I am also trying to get a solution to this issue and it's not because I don't have the maps on my xbox, it's because I don't have the maps on the other xbox I'm borrowing from a friend to use for the system link.

I'm wondering the answer to this as well. If there's some way to transfer the maps and update from one xbox that has it to another that'd be the easiest and probably only way to do it. I haven't heard an answer from anyone regarding this issue though. I'm trying to get it resolved by the end of the month because I'm trying to have a LAN party at my house.

hurf durf you had over 5 years to get a game and didn't, nothing to do with fandom. You could pick this game up on ebay years ago for 99 cents.

I'm still tricking halo 1 and hurf durf if you lan to get the upgrades from another box then even if my boxes do die (also, learn to read. I mentioned I have two boxes with them on it) i'll just get them from a friend.

Pay attention tonka toy, i offered a solution. No need to puff out your chest and bubble bobble around. Not interested in debating you if you can't read properly. Thanks for playing though, better luck next time.

You wont get the maps, just the patch update

@rocksolid you unwarranted superiority complex, disregard for taking into account the situation of others, general lack of foresight as well as hindsight, and inability to comprehend the economic status of those NOT you is laughable.

for the... third time? in this thread:

You will get the update patch, you wont get the maps. The two maps not on the disc are unobtainable.

So basically what you are saying is.. unless you have lolhaqz and can copy them over and replace an existing map, but then anyone you play with online will also need to have the map located on the same place. which is what i said.

you unwarranted superiority complex, disregard for taking into account the situation of others, general lack of foresight as well as hindsight, and inability to comprehend the economic status of those NOT you is laughable.

It's your unwarranted, btw. Cry moar Sidney Criesby, like I said, 1 buck will get you a copy of halo 2 on ebay, there was enough warning that everything was going to be discontinued. Not my fault, I explained to the op a way of getting around the situation, but of course i uhm has a general lack of [insert a bunch of big words my school principal says when imma git in me sum trubbles]. You fail extremely hard buckaroo, the maps were free and available for free for a very long time, you can get 48 hour trial codes in shops and with new games for that 360 you just bought, yup even on ebay. Your reading what you want to and are angry because you tanked up and didn't get the maps. It's not my fault. Just look in the mirror and say "I screwed up" and move along.

There is no point continuing this discussion. You won't find the answer for your problems on bungie.net, scour the interwebnets. There are ways.
