Are u sure because someone told me that I had to download the Halo 2 maps again, and then try to softmod on MA.
you can just softmod it and then set your Xbox up to be able to be FTP your xbox, and you can just overwrite the .map halo files but my xbox is one of the first, and so are my 3 friends who i modded for them and the mod worked fine for me, so.... once you get your Xbox modded and if you need any more help with the halo files just PM me
age doesnt matter.my xbox is nealy 2years old modded with xecuter 2 and still works fine.you might want to use the latest apps for yours.aqs long as the xbox is in good condition it should work fine.
