I got the 2 new maps....I tried to add them as DLC, I opened up the patch for Containment and warlock. Grabbed the signature for both maps, set the path, then resigned the patch_v3.
I put the maps in the DLC folder of cont and warlock. Then it says content damaged and the crap doesn't load....

do you have the 1.5 update?

Noooo.....I did not know of this.

I have 1.1 and I made my own Content Package. You just need the contentmeta and content image created by XLAST which is illegal so we can't give it to you.

Yeah I've bought it on my original xbox, but the download never downloads and it says installation fails, go to xbox.com.

...So much frustration.

I've never had a problem with DLC until now.

I want maps or my 4 bucks back!

Add the maps to the main menu.

if you add the maps to the mainmenu, then could you still join a game on system link, since its not inthe tdata anymore

People with the content installed in the tdata can not play with those who have added it to their main menu. They need to be installed in the same directory as those you are playing with, or vice versa.

then just tell me where a tut is to get the 1.5 update

Christ... In other words... Sign into xbox live and it will automatically make you download the new update. That or search around here for the update patch. Somebody uploaded it to halomods. Just patch your original default.xbe with the patch given.

You Know, hosting the 1.5 Patch?

I think there might be a way to make a patch for Halo 2's default.xbe that would update to 1.5, without actually giving out the patch files.
At least, that's how it sounded to me. Kibito, can you explain a little more clearly?

A few people are trying to add them as DLC content with their own custom content.xbx, but I have yet to see results.
You really need the 1.5 update.
You might want to find a cheap original Xbox game that comes with a two-day trial or something, and download the maps that way.
But then you'd probably have to pay again for them.

I don't know about all this.
It's retarded because you pay for the content on your 360, then go to download them on your original Xbox, and Bungie's going to hit you again.
Or is there something I'm missing?

Hhhmmm. It was AgentME that uploaded a patch that would patch your original default.xbe in your halo2 folder. It would patch it up to v1.5 so when you loaded the game, it would load the default.xbe from your original folder and see that it uses 1.5 and it's updated beyond the DLC folder's $u folder.

I helped my friend out in getting the maps as well. Funny thing is, his copy of halo2 reads 1.1 in the main menu and it loads the maps just fine and we were able to sys link them over xbc.

Don't all Xbox's read "1.1" at the mainmenu?

While Bungie may not change it, this is actually the fifth time they've updated it, so 1.5.

nah, they actually say 1.5 now.
