    Hey when I use these maps alone they are fine, but when I try to install the United Mappack v1.3 from www.xlink.com it always comes up with a damaged content for some reason. But if I take out the United Mappack then it's fine. Any way to work around this issue?

    You need to download WinRar and unpack the files to get the map contents.

    Need a little help here. I unrared the files, FTP'd the Folder to my "Games" Folder, ran the app, installed the maps + update, and neglected to follow the last couple of directions about changing the folder names etc. Now, I've tried starting over from scratch, and the app won't install anything. It just blinks when you press the A Button. Perhaps I need to re-install my original $u folder from my backup DVD and start over?

    I neglected to point out in my last post that I did check my Halo 2 Game for the new maps, and they weren't there. That's when I started to suspect that I missed something from the instructions in the file.

    Just go in the E:/TDATA and look for the folder 4d530064 and change the name to $u, and move it into the E:/TADATA/4d530064/ directory, reboot and it should work.

    I figured it out. I was running a hacked Halo dashboard that had an orange color, and some other hacked maps and such. Once I deleted them, I finally saw the $C folder in TDATA/4d530064 which hadn't appeared previously. I just reinstalled from my backup, then followed the directions. Thanks for the help.

    The folder is not on the dashboard, it's in your saved game data. You have to use FTP to get into your Xbox and look for it under E:\TDATA\4d530064\ directory. If it's still not there then you might wanna start Halo 2, play for a few seconds, save and quit, the folder should appear then.

    it said something about launching it where you normally launch your games off your hard drive? maybe i am making this way to complicated.
    It is # 6 on the list that i am having trouble with i found the folder tdata/4d50064 and all but am i supposed to burn a disc to find the installer or do i need that "games" section. this is my first attempt at this kind of thing and i am really anxious to get these new maps! i need to know where to save it (specifics) and where the install file is. i got these maps off of edonkey but the directions that came with them arent as in depth but i thought this forum was the revised version of the instructions. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Oh ok I see what you mean now. There are 2 ways you can do it, one is to load the maps on your HDD (which is from the instructions) or you can burn it onto a disc. Either way will work, but I think burning it onto a disc would be a better way for you. Use Craxtion4 or Qwix and convert the UnRarred maps folder into an ISO and burn it with Nero or whatever you have. And then just follow the instructions again.

    SWEET!!!i got it to work fine on my box. Thanks for all the help. i do kinda have another question though, i tried it on my friends box and for some reason it didnt work and now he cant play lockout and the little picture at the bottom left game info on multiplayer screen has a new picture for lockout???? both of the files are on the 4d530064 folder but the maps arent working. is there a way to either delete everything and try again or no. I tried to delete it all and install it all over but the second time i tried it didnt go on yet it still took up space off the harddrive. Not sure on this one but if anyone knows the help would help my friends box greatly! thanks! Nerd4saie

    I guess what you can do is clear the cache files. They are in the X,Y,Z folders. Then you might wanna delete the 4d530064 folder fist then Halo 2 saved games as well. Restart Halo 2, play for a few seconds, save. Then reinstall the maps, make sure to do the "Update" option first. Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

    Yeah no problem, hope it works out for your friend cuz these new maps are awesome and they add a lot to the gameplay. I don't see why it shouldn't work though, good luck.
