Back-Compat Issues?

Hi folks - We're super excited to finally be able to play the remaining Xbox 360 Halo titles on our Xbox Ones with the big release yesterday. We've seen scattered reports of players encountering various issues with different aspects of these latest back-compat titles which I'm hoping to collect here in this thread.

The Xbox back-compat team has worked hard to bring this to fruition, and it's ultimately their project, but we'd like to help them keep track of reported problems and issues that players are encountering.

If you have run into any issues with Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo 4, or Halo CE: Anniversary back-compat on Xbox One, please post in this thread and let us know and we'll pass it along. Please provide as much detail as possible.

1. Which game are you having an issue with?
2. Did you purchase digitally or install from disc? (and which disc in the case of the Halo 3 MP disc that came with ODST vs. the base Halo 3 disc)
3. What exactly is the issue you're encountering? Please be as specific as possible and include any steps you've already taken to try and remedy these issues.

Please note that the 343 team has no direct ability to address these issues but will continue to work closely with our partners and make sure any problems are brought to their attention. If/when we get any new information or solutions to reported issues we'll update this thread.

We're thrilled to see so much excitement for these back-compat releases and we thank you for your support of Halo!

I’m having a similar issue. I went through the H3 marketplace (in game), I had ticks next to all the map packs : mythic map pack 2 is the only one that came up once I went though to the manage game bit. If that makes sense. Legendary pack, mythic pack, heroic pack, cold storage packs are all purchased, but are not showing up. 😞 if anyone knows how to solve the problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ✌🏻

Download them through the website.

I'm having trouble reading my Halo 3 disc(Base game not ODST multiplayer disc), it's saying to put it in a 360... goes straight to Blu-ray player.

That sounds like a disc issue.

To download all of the DLC, you must:

1) Start Halo 3
2) Push the Start Button on your Controller
3) Click "MarketPlace"
4) Find and Download: "Heroic", "Legendary", "Cold Storage", "Mythic", "Mythic II" Map Pack.

Aside from that, I'm having an issue. My XBL account is a gold account, however, for the ranked playlists, I am seeing an error message saying "This playlist is restricted to Xbox LIVE Gold members only" :(

Awesome that you guys have this up. I'm trying to play halo 3 digitally. An it says that if I'm sure the game has released then reset my xbox and try again. Thank you for taking the time to fix this you guys are great!

When I do that it tells me I need to go into 'Manage game' and install from there. And that's what I did. Still no maps showing up in game

I did the same thing and had to exit my current session once the downloads finished. They are several hundred MB.

Halo 3 base disc and have the legendary, mythic and mythic 2, cold storage ,heroic map pack installed and it says i cant play btb, and social skirmish say i dont have the maps required

Hey. Drama Queen: 343 doesn't do backwards compatibility. You think every 360 title on the Xbox One is emulated by their respective developers individually? Use your noggin.
