Halo 4 Disc 2 Maps On HDD

I've had no issues getting Halo 4 to run off my external HDD with campaign maps being easily moddable. But I've never tried to install the Disc 2 multiplayer maps until now. I'm able to install it off Disc 2 but that of course puts it in the content folder on my USB drive in a different format consisting of 2 files. I've done quite a bit of digging around here to see if I can find out how to just simply put the .map files in the maps folder of Halo 4 but there doesn't seem to be any tutorial for that. Simply copying the .map files to that folder doesn't work and the game won't recognize those maps as there. So how do I get the .map files from Disc 2 or any Halo 4 DLC for that matter, onto my USB hard drive and load those maps that way?

Sounds like you can already get into the lobby via modded xex or whatever. So follow this. There's no pck files for disc 2 so ignore that part. (For multiple dlcs you'd need to mod your mainmenu and add the pck entries to matg otherwise no sounds, check my offline spops mod, as I did that there.)

It looks like what I'm missing is the .mapinfo and .blf files to go with the .map files. How do I extract those from the disc? All I have right now are just the .map files. The only files I could get off the disc are just these two files titled 6EA75209998E503CD58BDF9618ED283156A2D8EE4D and E25A9996DBF25D25C7C6235FFD30BAF4E5D543044D. I'm not sure what tool I'd need to use to extract the remaining files I need from that folder.

Those are regular 360 containers. One is MP the other is the first half of SpOps. Modio, Velocity or similar can open them and it will have all 3 of the file types in there.

Yep that did the trick! Got it working now, thanks!
