Halo2 Multiplayer thread

I know you can not use the premium downloads on other xbox's though.... :-/

I thought that the free ones can be downloaded to any number of xboxes on the same xbox live account, right?

It's just that the PAY downloads have to bought over and over for each xbox they're downloaded on.

Anyone know for sure?

[den68]

premium downloads probably are the ones you have to pay for.

Bingo Den.

I am not going to pay for those extra 2 maps now. I am going to hold out till they are free.

I played on the 2 free maps for a bit today and they are pretty cool.
I look forward to testing out CTF strategies for Containment. The one i came up with like 2 minutes in is probably the same one everyone else will when playing it.

New and improved Halo 2 crack!!!

Containment is freaking huge.

I'm having trouble with the new maps. About half the time I try to join a custom game, and I get the "You failed to load the map" error tho I have both maps and can join other custom games.

It's a brand new xbox, and I never got that error before downloading the maps.

I did however have to download them twice since it failed the first time. I thought that was due to bandwidth issues since everyone was prolly downloading them the same day.

Any ideas?

I wasn't able to download mine until around 9:30 since my internet connection was down. I did decide to buy the premium maps, though. Turf by itself is worth the price of admission!

Containment will probably be my new favorite map. So many options when in this massive level. Played many  CTF rounds here last night.

Turf kicks ass and will be a great place for "Zombie"

The other 2 maps are "bleh" but still fun. I think warlock is a great place for phantom king of the hill.

Look me up tonight if you want to play in my games.

I forgot to mention I have been to the top of containment as well as on top of a few "un-reachable" buildings on Turf.

Also found a super jump on Sanctury

[Izret101]

Well.... i still have played a total of 5 matches on the 2 free maps.

Maybe my mom won't notice the 6 bucks on her credit  card statement.....

[Antimind]

Yea but can you get on top of Warlock?

[captain_nintendo]

Yea but can you get on top of Warlock?

No , but I havent had time to try yet  
Too many games and people actually playing last night. Best part of it was that nobody was playing matchmaking .....

[phoenix1967]

Hey Captain, what's "zombie"?

I was walking thru the maps last night but couldn't find any ways to get on top of any maps but Containment (Same 'ol Banshee/Sniper combo).

Any tips?

[captain_nintendo]

Well Containment can be breached with a spectre as well.

Turf can only be reached by the host of the game and then others can follow with a sword cancel.
You need to have overshields with swords and rockets equiped.

The super jump on Sanctury is hard to explain and I have only done it once :-/

[Antimind]

What gets me is the way the top of Containment looks and how easy it is to get out of, its almost as if it was meant to be done. Anyone else think that makes sense? I mean, look at Coag. When you get to the end of the map you KNOW it's teh end of the map. But Containment looks like it goes on forever (even at the end).
