    I know this is probably a stupid question, but how do you play/edit the maps that you downloaded from the marketplace? I downloaded the map pack that has Foundry but they do not show up on the map list. Thanks for helping the noob!

    Not a stupid question at all, good sir.

    Many people, including myself, have the issue of not being able to load DLC maps without being signed into XBOX live. It's just an annoying glitch that about 30% of all 360s have.

    So, that may be your problem. Just make sure you're signed into live when you play Halo 3. If that still doesn't work, just report back and we'll speculate some more =]

    I am signed into my account/xbox live, but still no maps. Also, what do you mean by clicking the maps button in forge? Where is that?

    What everybody means by the maps button is just the map selection option. For most people the maps will load whenever you try and change what map you're going to forge on.

    If it doesn't load when you try and change maps, I'd go try and DL the heroic map pack from marketplace again.

    Hope that helps

    I think that happens to everyone. But I have to wait like 1 minute most of the time as I am near the 100 limit with the most screenshots you can have.

    Also, I can't play matchmaking until I do that either. Kind of annoying.

    Exactly what happens to me. It doesn't really bother me though, except sometimes if I got match making first and then after I load the maps, I still can't play.

    I love Felipe's avatar... My friend laughed hysterically when he saw it.

    Yeah I think it's different for every Xbox. You'd think that if I brought my hard drive over to a friends house with the maps on it, then I could play the maps there right? On my Xbox, I can only play it if THEY have the maps too. And half of the time I'm waiting there for 2 minutes for the "Loading" box to pop up. And then after that I have to switch around in matchmaking, forge and customs until it appears. Sometimes the maps just don't load in which case I just exit out of Halo and load it back up. I've never experienced it not loading when I'm offline though. So I guess I'm the lucky 70%...

    What I do is, on the main menu when you first load up the game (At the top is says "Resume Solo Game" or something like that), when "Resume Solo Game" lights up, that means the game is fully loaded and the maps are there first time for me.
