i got the allied map pack with all the .ppf's and the ppf for mainmenu.map. i run the patcher and signer and it all works fine and then i go to play them. the countdown goes down and then it just brings me back to the map list. none of these maps work. tisk... maybe its an update but i donno

Go to E:\TDATA\4d530064\$u\
And add a 2 to the end of all the files in there. Example:
contentment.xbx
to
contentmeta2.xbx
Do that to all three of the files in there and then load H2. They will load now.

DUDE OMG IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN HELP YOU MAYBE BY LEEVING U GOOD FEEDBACK OR SUMTHING!!! i love you. i dont know how to thank you. i love you so much lol lol. dude. i hope this doesnt affect xbox live. if u have xbl then my tag is "wordizzl" anyways screw guardian u should be head master on this site. lol. maybe not that but you so rock man! thank you so much im so glad u did ur job im tellin all my friends

It does affect xbl. What that does is it makes it so H2 thinks that there is no updated content. You will notice that Lockout's picture is changed, and that none of the DLC maps (Terminal, Warlock, Gemini et cetera) will show up.
All you have to do to fix this is rename those files back to their original state.
Then the xbox will 'see' the updated stuff there and then be able to load it. But again if you do that, then the maps that are added to the mainmenu will not load. They will kick you back and back to the pregame lobby.
It's tedious to rename them over and over I know, but xbc/kai is alot better in my opinion. You don't get 3 year olds wanting to know how to mod on xbl because kai is pretty much all modders.

One more thing, if you ever get mimesis, leave the update there. The Mimesis team was able to duplicate the files required by the xbox to recognise content in the E:\TDATA\4d530064\$C\ directory. So just leave your mainmenu alone. Better yet, if you ever aquire Mimesis, install the maps downloaded by it on a fresh mainmenu.map. That way the map ID's will be sure to line up correctly.
