Bradus101 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hello All, I am new to this community, I am just opening up a new forum to see if someone can help me with my Matchmaking Issues on Halo Reach. I downloaded the Defiant and Noble Map Packs so that I could play matchmaking. I didn't buy them months ago as I was not going to waste money to play aganst people on other maps. Tonight (as I live in the UK) I decided I will actually buy them. They downloaded well, work in Custom Games, but I open Matchmaking and I cannot play anything, it says "One or more of the players do not have the maps required to play in this playlist". I have checked, and double checked and they have downloaded onto my hardrive properly and checked how they work in Custom Games, even turned off my XBOX and turned it back on again, but why won't they work in the Matchmaking? Can someone help me please? Because I feel I have wasted £15 and 1600 points on stuff that does not work. And if they don't work, here is just a good forum to talk about why and things. Hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks!! Bradus101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin Pwn Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 what playlist are you trying to play? My guess would be that the playlist your trying to play in requires the Anniversary map pack. have you tryed playing in another playlist?

DaveAtStateFarm Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have never experianced it before. My advice is to call Microsoft, or first look up the problem on youtube. I say check the back of the Halo Reach manual to see if you can get numbers. Or the ANNIVERSARY manual to get 343's number, if you don't have anniversary, I maybe can easliy give you the number you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradus101 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 what playlist are you trying to play? My guess would be that the playlist your trying to play in requires the Anniversary map pack. have you tryed playing in another playlist? Hi, the Anniversary Pack ones work fine, its the normal Team Slayer and Living Dead and MLG and stuff that don't work. I have all 3 MAp packs on tere but they wont allow me to play the simple Team Slayer playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Jester Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 im in uk, my guess is you are trying a playlist which also requires the anniversary maps. what gametypes are you trying to play exactly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradus101 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 im in uk, my guess is you are trying a playlist which also requires the anniversary maps. what gametypes are you trying to play exactly I am in the Competitive Playlist, the Anniversary Playlist works fine so does the Community Playlist, but the Competitive Playlist won't work.

Mr Biggles Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 just a question, you actually tried to matchmake yet? i get that message all of the time and it still lets me play, it just shows they won't pick maps that people don't have.

I only have 1 Gamertag and it has all been saved onto that, and no I do not have Bungie Pro. I had an old xbox but it died after 5 years I got the Xbox 360 Slim November 2010 for my birthday and had all of the stuff on my old hardrive moved over.

I will give them a call and I will let you know what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradus101 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Just to double check, There isn't anyting else I need? I have the Anniversary, Defiant and Noble Map packs, but is there anything that I am missing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStarRocket91 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 No, that's everything, you don't actually need any of the map packs to play team slayer anyway so this is very strange. Give 343i a ring and let them know what's going on, hopefully they'll be able to tell you how to fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradus101 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I checked last night before I went to sleep, on Custom Games, I only had the Map Pack maps. I didn't have any of the original Reach ones, what is going on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Jester Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 im going to ask a really stupid question I take it you are loading up halo reach? As if you load up Halo Anniversary you can only access anniversary maps in matchmaking, but all maps in custom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if you load up Halo Anniversary you can only access anniversary maps in matchmaking, but all maps in custom Yeah I am loading it on Halo Reach. Something is wrong, I haven't been on it last night but on Custom Games and Forge, the only maps I can get are the ones I downloaded, the originals that came with the game don't appear.

Anarchy Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I see nothing wrong with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradus101 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I see nothing wrong with it See nothing wrong with what? That the built-in maps are missing is normal? There is something wrong mate if I only seem to now have the DLC maps not the built-in ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradus101 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Ok I have checked, double checked and double checked and I have no Game Types. All the map packs are in the Map Variants section, but the original Game Types that come with the game are missing, what the hell is going on there?

Vitamin Pwn Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 hmm, maybe your reach disk s messed up somehow? is it scratched? if you can borrow another copy of reach from someone try it out and see f that work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradus101 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yeah its quite scratched, stupid brother didnt treat it well, but everything works fine, the campaign, the griffball on matchmaking, the forge. It all works, so why would that affect the map packs not the whole game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
