Can one still download from H3 files-hare? This regards maps and game types
Yes, but not from the internet. You must have recently played with, be friends with, or join the party of someone so that you can view there fileshare and download the file.
Yup, what Kane said above…
What I do in order to get Custom Content from people not on my list is Go to Halo.Bungie.net, Go to Halo 3 Online States (Custom Search), search for a map (for example MLG Pit) then find some results. From those results I look at the creators File Share to see if his File Share has the map I want, and write down his gamertag. I now go to my Xbox, send that gamertag a Private Chat or Friend Request while on Halo 3, go to their Gamer Profile and check out their H3 File Share and download the map I want (in this case, MLG pit)
Sounds like a lot of work but really isn’t… I got a whole bunch of classics using this method last week including maps like Jenga, Left 4 Dead, Fat man, COD 5 Zombies, and a lot more.
