Is there any way I can get Tombstone and Desolation? They are not included on the Multiplayer Map Pack disk.

Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

Desolation's crap. Tombstone is a bastardized Hang Em High.

You're not missing much.

DoUNoDaMufnMan, I know they can be downloaded to Halo 2 Vista:
Desolation
Tombstone
But I'm still looking for xbox versions (other than the torrents that require modded xbox which results in ban from XBL). Will let you know if I find them.

MrR46, Desolation looks awesome to me, but even if they do suck, I want to experience all the maps. I've never played them before. :/

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

You either need:
1. A modded xbox 1.
2. A 360 HDD Cable.
Sorry, but that's the only way to get them now.

Sadly its true, this is the only way to get them now.

Maybe some day in the future they will put Halo 2 on the marketplace and we will be able to get all the maps again, but until then we are kinda screwed.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I purchased those maps back in '05, it's a shame to see be unable to re download them. Although I've tried by viewing my download history which apparently doesn't go back that far. Although it doesn't really matter anymore because XBox LIVE support has been severed.

Microsoft provides those 360 HDD transfer cables for free. You just need to phone them up and ask them about it. Well, that's what I heard :/


I had heard that too until I tried to get one...

Micro$$$oft wanted to charge me 15$ for the stupid thing! Again another mistake in buying a new console.

Dr Weird,
Are you possibly foreshadowing something you have information about???

He's just guessing. And he's only a mod, not an employee.
I know someone took a simiar "in the future" post by a gearbox employee the wrong way, and spread it around as "REACH PC" proof.

If you have an original Xbox, I would recommend modding it. Since all Xbox live features are dead on it, modding allows you access to both those maps plus something new to do. (Note: I'm not suggesting you mod all your Xbox's and turn into one of those no life cheaters on Xbox live). As far as I know the only way to get these maps is by transfering the file from your computer to Xbox, which means your modifying your xbox.

However, your not missing much. Both those maps aren't very good at all. Desolation is probably my least favorite map in Halo 2 because its basically a giant warlock with gravlifts. Tombstone is another Hang-em-high with a junkyard theme. In my opinion, Halo's demise of great maps started with these 2.

Does anybody have a link with some info on how to mod the original xbox? I assume its just a softmod and no hardware modifications are necessary.....

  • 11.12.2010 9:09 AM PDT

With the HDD cable is it for lets say..transfer only? or could one copy the files so that both 360s have the files? Just curious.

Are you saying that if I get a cable I wouldn't need to mod my xbox? I assume that that requires connecting my xbox to an xbox that has these maps?

As for modding... will I be banned from XBL if I mod to get these maps, but don't cheat or mod in any other way?
