Subject: Cannot play halo 2

I just recently got halo 2 because I wanted it to show that I played the game on my Bungie profile. When loading the game it asks me to update it. So I do. Well after that is all done im at the title screen and log in. It says choose a profile. So I choose default. Then it says SIGN IN TO XBOX LIVE. I choose my Gamertag and I get an error message that says NETWORK PROBLEMS. we cannot connect to Xbox live. So how am I able to show this on my bungie profile. Do I need the multiplayer maps? If so where can i get them/download them to my xbox.

Thank you.

Sorry dude, the Halo 2 tag is for people who actually played it in it's day. It's not for just anyone to pop in the Halo 2 disc and get because they want to be seen as a seasoned veteran.

I didn't get to play it online on the original Xbox console, but played campaign over and over again. Then I got a 360, and when I got Live, I played it online. Halo 2 matchmaking was pretty good, but, of course, I played Halo 3 way more, but for the time that Halo 2 was really popular, I imagine it was what we all today see as Halo 3 or Halo: Reach's matchmaking.

It's upsetting to a lot of people who lost their gamertags from gamertag recovery and a few years later were expected to remember their credit card numbers and such. That played halo 2 since it's release date and about 6 months after halo 3's release. I fall into this category. I feel shunned. My two little brothers and I (Lost GT: Babaloo2U). We all played it everyday and fought over it. Even ended up purchasing 3 consoles to play all at once in the same room online. Is there any way I can sport my old friend Halo 2? Nope. Not allowed.
