I just got a new xbox slim and was wondering if i can redownload the maps through online. I know that multiplayer is down, but am unsure about the ability to redownload map macks. I have the maps on my old xbox, but can't really afford the transfer cable or a month or two. It's no big deal because I'm not a huge fan of halo 2 maps, but still I want the complete experience because we started to host tournaments at my school for halo 2 and 3.

Yes if you buy the map pack disk. However for the Blastcular map pack you have to use the transfer method.

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.

You can only get the first 3 map packs via the map pack disk. For the Blastacular map pack, your out of luck.

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

Someone forgot about the transfer cable method again.

Thanks man, I mean I'm not going to pay money to get maps I already own. I guess I will have to wait till I get a transfer cable. I was wondering if you can still access the online ability to download them even though you can't access or play the online multiplayer. So I guess the answer is no. I really wish someone would try and check this or at least state that so I know. I don't have access to my xbox till wednesday so I guess I'll check myself then.

With this method of transferring through downloading the maps via that site, Microsoft wont freak out and perceive it as me having 3rd party content on my hard drive thus wanting to ban me and such or how ever they go about their business...

XBL is gone, so you can't get banned anymore. And even then, you would only get banned from H2 Matchmaking. Stop being so paranoid.
