Here is something a friend of mine is having a problem with.
In forge he will select map A and it will go through its loading and then forcefully select map B. He will not have done anything other then selecting map A.
He and i have tried to work every possible method of getting map A to be used but it always and only goes to map B. Selecting any other map in the list will also render map B being the one selected.
The stuff done has been to move map b to another source.
Xbox 360 storage cashe maintenance.
Restarts from game/dashboard/and net dc’ing.
The map keeps loading the map b that is not wanted to be loaded.
Yes map B is modded but only for visual effects such as the multiple lights and walls for large scale bg images and extream screenshots for effects massive forge objects.
Map A is from scratch and is a 200+ hour work in progress for possible reach matchmaking. It is a one of a kind map at this point. The only people who have seen it dont have it in their temp history.
So is there a fix for this or is map A completely lost?
FYI: The modded map is from the early days of reach and he has had it since then. Its not a new map.

that could be your problem right there. im not computer/console expert, but usually when you tamper with something, something will go wrong.
It appears to be a file loading glitch in Reach. It can happen to any map at any time, but seems to be more common when you use “Save” in Forge (as opposed to “Save As New”).
I don’t know if the problem is with Reach, the hard drive, or the file. So I’d recommend viewing the contents of your 360’s hard drive (in the Dashboard, IIRC under “System Settings”), and using that to create a copy of the inaccessible file (instead of doing it in Reach). Then, start Reach up and see if you can access the new copy. If so, then delete the old copy (the one that causes the wrong map to be loaded when selected) and this should solve your problem.
If this doesn’t work, then yes, your map is probably gone forever.
