Hi, I have been checking around, and I havent found them yet, but does anyone have the softmodded halo two maps loaded on their PC? If so, can I "borrow" them?

Here is a quick layout on what to do:

- Connect your Xbox to the PC using an ethernet cable
- Use an FTP Program to rip the game from the Xbox
- Download the Halo 2 map tools (Not sure exactly, i've forgotten the name but it was very easy to find)
- Delete most of the campaign maps (Free space for Multiplayer modded and new maps)
- Use the halo 2 map tools program to add the downloaded maps to the maplist
- Burn the files onto a DVD-R using Nero's UDF + Force Video Compatability (For XboxTM)


Then you have a working Multiplayer Halo 2 DVD.

I got some questions...

Can you get an ethernet cable in most stores?

and does this work for halo 1?

I'm kind of wondering this

Ethernet cables should be available at electronic stores and computer stores...

This will not work on Halo 1, as it has quite a different map format (to start, they're compressed, and decompressed into the cache as they are used, Halo 2 uses 2 or so map files that are shared containing common music, textures etc.... and the formats of the maps themselves are very different, even if there weren't there'd be a whole lot of tweaking to do since the two game engines are also very different...)

for halo mod information I used to go to HaloMods back in the day. Not sure of their reliability these days but it's worth a shot.

I'm not quite sure if he meant that or if he was asking about the Ethernet cables working with Halo 1. If this is the case, yes, Crossover or Patch Ethernet cables work fine for System link in Halo 1.

Crossover and Patch are two different things.

Whether crossover or patch will work depends on what you're connecting it to.... patch will work if you're connecting it to a router/switch/hub (crossover may work if the router/switch/hub supports it, some have one port where you can exclusively plug crossover). For XBOX to another XBOX or computer you would need patch cable.

Of course, Vangar could be correct, I could be wrong and XBOX may be able to detect what kind of cable connection you've done, I've only used patch cables myself for router connections.
