Because the maps are only available from inside Halo 2 (you won't find them on the Xbox Live Marketplace). As you might recall, original Xbox Live games don't know how to use MS Points. Also, you'll have to have an Xbox Live Gold account to purchase them (again, because original Xbox Live games don't know about Xbox Live Silver). Of course, that requirement isn't a big deal unless you only play system link or something, because you have to have Xbox Live Gold to play them online anyway.
Why not make an auto update for Halo 2 that can check a 360s Hard Drive for the new maps? It doesn't have any trouble loading games saves from the hard drive. That way, 360 owners without credit cards could download them via MS points and then when they go int othe Halo 2 download manager It could load the maps from the hard drive? I believe that you guys are going to miss a fairly large section of business by making it credit card only.
I have been a die hard Bungie fan and I hate to be denied access to the new maps.
