    Nope, all the maps should work. Maybe yours is corrupted.

    just a quick one, probably a silly question, i replaced the xbox fan with a cool 8cm one with 4 diff coloured led's. I switched the fan speed with the 12v mod (split the black ground wire and taped it to the heat shield), noisy as hell by the way, but the led's shine much much brighter.

    anyway, the fan blades face the same way round as the xbox fan did before it, but it blows a friggin gail out the back of the xbox, i assumed it would need turning around if thats the case as the gadgets inside would want all the nice air blowing over them....is this the case, do xbox fans and normal pc case fans spin the same way, am i talking out my ass...someone please advise before i take it to bits again and turn the fan round....

    its just that i sat and watched the cpu temp go up right infront of me on the 'dashboard' settings screen.

    regards...jim

    Does anyone have this file that they can give to me? I see the instructions on how to install it onto my modded xbox...but not where to get it.

    Thanks.

    I can confirm that this process DOES NOT work the pirated french version and DOES work on the US version.

    The french version will not take the update.

    Why are you getting mad? I was just saying that is nice for those of us with the real version. I didn't mean to be offensive to anyone. I was not being a "smart ass". Sorry if I somehow offended you.

    Hey, i would like to know where i can get the right maps file too, i just have a question. In the file i have downloaded, there is a default.xbe too. The readme says i have to put that one in my F:/halo2/ , but i don't have a bigger harddisk??? So do i have to burn that file to the dvd? But where do i have to put that one.
    I have a softmodded box with the retail harddisk.
    So i have no room for the whole game on my disk, how can i still be able to play the maps?

    there will just be about 200meg of files that you either burn to a disk or ftp to your xbox (e or f drive). Then you do what the instructions say....by booting up the box and installing the maps through the files you ftp'd into it. Then it installes the maps to your E drive in the gamesaves area. Once that part is done you have to ftp into your xbox and just rename a file and move one.

    This all seems simple enough but now i've tried resetting the cashes and repatching to hopefully get the other 2 maps to work....but it fragged my halo2 alltogether. Now i have to figure out what the hell i did. Gay. Is there another installer avaiable or maybe a new version?

    hey well its been a minute since my last real post so i'll go over this again which hopefully will help u better understand.
    * this was done on my xbox runinning evoX with a 200 gig HDD. must use different method for soft modded version

    1.) ftp into your xbox using an ftp app such as FlashFXP and go to E/TDATA/4d530064/
    there should be absolutely nothing in this folder. if there is something in there delete it.
    2.)you should already have the map pack which is named Halo_2_Map_Packs_XBOX-READNFO-AWSK. extract files.
    3.)you should see a folder inside called "map pack". transfer this folder to your game directory of your xbox (this is where all your games are located should be f/ )
    4.) restart xbox. go to your game list and you will see "map pack installer"
    5.) choose the installer. a sceen will come up with 3 options. choose ONLY AUTO UPDATE!!!
    6.)wait for it to say content copied to your xbox.
    7.)reboot your xbox
    8.)ftp back into the /E/TDATA/4d530064/ folder, u should see $c folder inside.
    9.)go into the $c folder and you should see 4d53006400UPDATE folder
    10.)Right Click On 4d53006400UPDATE folder, and choose MOVE
    amd type /E/TDATA/4d530064/ choose okay.
    11.)so now back up into your /E/TDATA/4d530064/ folder and you should see $c and 4d53006400UPDATE folders.
    12.)Right Click on the 4d53006400UPDATE folder and select rename and rename it to $u
    13.) reboot your xbox.
    14.) now select map pack installer on your xbox and choose Bonus Pack.. wait for it to say installation complete.. then choosethe Killtacular Pack.. wait for it to say installation complete.
    15.) youre done!

    by the way does anybody play on xbc?
