Playing Halo 2 on the 360

[BlackWaltz]

Ive had my 360 since october and have never played halo 2 online as the disc wont run because the 360 is not backwards compatible with it. I need to know how to update it? as i cant seem to do it from the dash board. Can someone let me know please?

a Video Rental Shops may have the info you need for backwards compatible for Xbox360 (Video EZY for one in New Zealand)

If you can get online with the 360, it should automatically download the patch for it to play.

Otherwise, check here

okay yeah it has downloaded the update now and i can play it, but i cant seem to play it on xbox live? I go into the lobby and i cant seem to search for a game. it just says in the top left corner 'you dont have the required maps for this game' even though i havent chose a game or even been able to select a type of game to play.
Anyone else have this problem? someone please help! i just wanna play halo online!

To do matchmaking you have to have at least the 3 free map packs. To use all of the different matchmaking options you would have to pay $4 for the non-free map pack(will be free sometime in early july). I ain't paying $4 when Halo 3 beta starts on Wednesday and then July is just a hop skip and a throw away.
