My Xbox 360 got the RROD (surprising I know....) Now when I get it back my Halo 2 DLC is unplayable! How can I get these maps back for offline play and system link? Please help.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

You can no longer download them via Xbox Live. This is the only way to get some of the DLC maps. Not every dlc map is in this though, most of them are. This price is pretty ridiculous, but I bet you can find it used on Ebay, or somewhere else, for much cheaper.

Edit: It's only $5 for a used copy on Amazon.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Buy the halo 2 map pack disc, though sadly you will never be able to play on tombstone or desolation ever again. Those maps were never added to the disc.

yeah that indeed sucks, kinda like when this guy had his 360 signed by a bunch of important people and had written a Long letter etc etc on not to clean the xbox or anything. then when he got it back all the signatures were amazingly GONE lol.

but yeah the dlc, you will have to find em somewhere else and what not. Then also XBOX CONNECT/X-link kai/xmelee-if its still around- is where you can play Halo 2 xbox and halo 1 xbox at :)

Anything that is not on the map disc is gone for good, or until they decide to put the original xbox stuff on the marketplace for download again.

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

Not really.
If you have a transfer cable, and the map files, you can put the 2 maps on the HDD with a transfer tool.

They are on my hard drive...... and they need to put them back up I like going back and playing system link or local games and I paid for this content it should not be unavailable ya know. What if you bought a new tv and someone after a couple yrs just came and took it back.

It's better if they put them up on marketplace.

I've made it my life goal to never become too stressed. So if I appear to be doing nothing all the time and generally never working particularly hard on any task, that's my plan in action.

I'd be happy if they made a way for the Original Xbox games to have download content, for example if Halo 2 was released and had its own section in the Xbox Originals, why not add the download content?

And updates to fix the FPS drop that I always had when I used to play it constantly in 05-06

Call me Kozar - My gamertag would have just been Kozar, but it was taken (so odd, huh?), so I made it North Kozar, instead (since I live up north in Alaska).

I'm in the same boat as you. I started up Halo 2 today, not even thinking about how my Xbox RRoD'd in June and it said the content was unplayable. I really hope they put it up on Xbox Marketplace, that would be awesome.

Hello! I'm a male!

It's called Micro$oft is special needs. They claimed they were getting rid of xbox v1 xbox live support to increase the friends list size to xbox 360 xbox live. So far hasn't happened. Micro$oft is just greedy and didn't want to keep the servers up. Not like Mico$oft doesn't have the money or anything.

Edit: XBConnect apparently has a way to download Halo 2 maps.

When winning is illogical losing is still far from optional.

After reading this forum topic last night I called around a few places other than Gamestop (only because they stopped carrying xbox originals a few months back) and found a copy of the Map Pack Disc used at PlaynTrade for 9.99. And it worked, I was able to dl the first 3 original map packs but I am still missing the map pack they released right before Halo 3. It also has a few cool extra features, A few videos and also a Audio test for your surround sound system.

Which I imagine shouldn't be that hard to do.

Microsoft must be really lazy.

Who give beat down? We give beat down!

Sorry to necro an old topic but damn this really pisses me off, I'm upgrading to the new Reach 360 so I went out and got a USB storage device to transfer all of my saves over to the new system when it arrives only to find out I cannot transfer the Halo 2 map packs...

I have the disc that's got the first packs but you mean to tell me that I'll NEVER be able to play on those two newer maps ever again? Not in local or LAN games? Jesus that makes me quite angry, so now I can't sell my old Xbox, if I do, I'll loose those maps for good.
