Legendary DLC Problem

When you get into Halo 3, go into custom games and select maps. It'll load it up. If it doesn't,I have no ****ing clue what's wrong with your box. Perhaps you should buy a new one.

 

Have you ever been playing the Xbox for a long while, and then someone/something accidentally hit it? When the Xbox is hot, it has a disk running, and someone bumps it, it causes the game info to become corrupt, because the bump shifts the warm, somewhat soft suface of the game disk, making it unreadable. It looks like an ordinary disk. You may just need a new Halo 3 disk. If not, I'm in the situation Nemihara is, the "idk what to #$*@ do!" situation.

 

No, that can't be it. Legendary DLC downloads to the HDD. It would load even if a few other maps were corrupted.

 

Could it have messed with the code on the disk so that it can't accept DLC. Then again, it could be one of those one-in-a-million situations in which everything else that isn't obvious goes wrong.

 

I was just wondering something about your problem, the GamerTag you are using to play in MatchMaking or Custom games, is this the one you used to purchase and download the maps?
Also have you sent your Xbox360 in for repairs after purchasing the maps?

EDIT: When I go into match making and it says failed to load maps, which often happens, this is what I have to do for them to work.

Go to custom games from the main menu
Go to maps and change the map from which ever the default map is [For me it's Last Resort]
It'll say it's loading... Then it will say loading again
After it loads twice, select maps again and you should get the full list
After that it should be fine, custom or match making

 

Wow,nice job explaining Reynbow.

If that doesn't work,then instead of renting a new disc or even buying one try this method:

Put your disk label down
Take some liquid wax and pour about a dollar coin amount on the disc
Take a soft cloth and rub it all around the disc (just on the data side)
After it is all spread,lay it out for about a half hour
And then just wipe the wax off


After I did that with MY halo 3 disc,it worked fine.I had the disc unreadable error,but I am kind of sure it would fix your problem.

Lol,I have to put that otherwise people blame me if it doesn't work.

 

He mentioned that he checked the game disk for dirt or scratches, and it didn't have any. If the disk he owns has been "bumped" (which I explained earlier), it doesn't matter if he cleans it. It will just be a clean, corrupted disk, unfortunately. But that's only if he or someone/something "bumped" the Xbox.

 

I noticed you said that you have already tried clearing the cache on your HDD using the Y, X, X, LB, RB, X, X method.
Have you re-downloaded the Legendary maps after doing that? I once cleared the cache after I had downloaded the Heroic map pack and there is/was a common bug that would require you to re-download the map pack after clearing the cache on the HDD, also you would have to update Halo3 again when starting it up. So make sure you have or had re-downloaded the maps after clearing the cache.

Also, have you tried the simple Halo3 clear? I know if you hold the Up Arrow and the A button at the same time while Halo3 starts up you will do a simpler version of the cache clear. That sometimes fixes problems similar to this.

Other then those two options I can not think of anything else that may be causing the problem. =\

EDIT: Another thing I just thought of, that probably wouldn't do much. When you re-download the maps did you just re-download or did you actually delete the maps from the HDD then re-download. I would suggest deleting the maps from the HDD and re-downloading. Thought like I said, probably wouldn't do anything.

 

Mmm yeah, sorry I couldn't figure out what the hell is going on ... Lol
Have you tried asking on the BNet forums?
