In particular, my friend recovered his gamertag on my Xbox and we attempted to play Halo 3 online. I had not downloaded the Legendary Maps, but he was able to download them a second time onto my Xbox, but when we tried to play Swat, it said we didn't have them. They're on my hard drive.

Is there any way to make them active under my Gamertag so I can play on them?

You can use the content if logged in under your friend's account, but you cannot make that content active for your account for the exact reason you're trying to skate around. You can't buy content once and give it to all of your friends to use. You have to prove that you are the one that purchased the content. It's a form of copy protection. We would all do that otherwise and half the people on Live wouldn't buy anything.

Don't make two topics about the same thing. You're cluttering the boards and it's useless.....
