    Can't play Halo 2 on Xbox 360


    Halo 2 simply won't work on my Xbox 360. As soon as the game tries to boot up, it gives me an error message saying that the game couldn't start and that I should redownload it (I wish it was that simple... Microsoft, why couldn't you just put Halo 2 on games
    on demand?). I've tried just about all the solutions I've found while google searching. I tried clearing the cache; no luck. Tried deleting and reinstalling the update; no luck. I even tried completely reformatting my hard drive; once again, no luck.

    As far as I know, the hard drive in the system is an official one from Microsoft (it's a slim model with the hard drive integrated into the console), so I can't imagine that's the issue. It would feel very weird to go from Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
    straight into Halo 3, and I really don't want to shell out for a $60-$80 piece of hardware just for one game. Is there anything I could try to solve this?

    :)

    Original Xbox Content not working on Xbox 360

    I transferred my Halo 2 Content to Xbox 360 Which included Downloaded maps and I can't find them when I open the game. I also can't connect to xbox live due to the discontinuation. How would I be able to play downloaded content on the 360?

    Halo series

    First buy Halo: CE Anniversary. It is a remake of the first Halo game with updated graphics.

    Halo 2 is backwards compatible on 360 so you can buy the original version and it will play after an update. (You can't play Halo 2 multiplayer anymore though).

    ODST comes with 2 discs. One disc is a campaign that takes place between Halo 2 and 3, you play as an ODST soldier instead Master Chief. The second is Halo 3 multiplayer but has all of the downloadable maps included on disc.

    Halo 2 re-release please!

    I would like a re-release of Halo 2. But for the 360 especially :D

    What better way for the Xbox LIVE servers to shut down years later on the 360 playing Halo 2 anniversary? :)

    Microsoft thinks no one plays old games...

    [quote user="Judge Bergan"]

    He said 5% play on a NEW console. Meaning, once they buy the new console, they mostly play the new games that came out on it. I'm sure that number is from the Xbox to Xbox 360 switch, still sounds a little low though.

    [/quote]

    LOL, it can't be 5%. I know almost all of my friends at some point played Halo 2 or Halo CE on their 360. I definitely did.

    Can xbox live communicate across both systems?

    [quote user="iceman1731"]

    I remember playing Halo 2 on 360 against people playing it on the original.

    [/quote]

    Yes but that was the same version Halo 2. The 360 was backwards compatible.



    Battlefield 4 on xbox one and 360 will be different versions of the game so you wont be able to play against each other.
