Well...the maps download is not working for me. I click Blastacular pack. It takes me to a screen where it asks me if I want to "PURCHASE" or "DON'T PURCHASE." I click purchase and it goes straight to the download screen and appears as though it is going to start downloading them (before it ever even asks me for a credit card #) and then the download bar goes all the way to full and I get a new screen saying "Purchase failed. You will not be charged for this transaction. Please try again later."

The only thing I could imagine here is that its simply trying to charge the credit card associated with my account, which doesn't exist because I have an xbox 360. But, the last update says it will require us to enter credit card info. Maybe the servers are busy?

Well, I finally got it working. The last update made it sound like it was going to ask you for your credit card # at the download screen...which is not the case.

The following is what I had to do to download the maps:
From the Xbox 360 Dashboard, go to Xbox Live Marketplace. From here, click Account Management / Memberships / (Your current XBL membership) / Change Payment Options / Add Credit Card.

Once you have successfully added your credit card as a payment option you should be good to go. If you have several payment options already associated with your XBL account, you may have to "Change Payment Options" again and click on the credit card you just added. This should select that credit card as the current payment method for your account.

Its a shame though, I cant really play on Hangem--err...Tombstone because I have very few friends on XBL, ha.

Also, one cool thing I just noticed is that by having a credit card associated with my account, I can now add Microsoft Points with it instead of having to buy them from Wal-Mart. I haven't noticed if it is cheaper, though.

I got that too, and it's not fair :(

Wait, I got something else, me it says the credit card has expired and that we have to change the billing information, the card isn't expired for atleast another year

I don't know the answer to your particular problem, but I will say that it definitely has nothing to do with how your xbox is plugged into your TV/monitor.

Someone needs to be linking this movie on the main page:

http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=57998

Yes, it also involves the other company in Redmond, Washington, but the only words available for this movie are "holy" and something unprintable. Both are used in a context of goodness and awe.

F-that, I'd rather have all the old maps, and no dled maps, while still retaining BTB skirmish in its proper ranked self! F bungie, F those idiots who made the maps, F microsoft for pressuring bungie into this. This is how games die a quiet death, when their life was so rich. Goodbye Halo 2, it was fun while it lasted.


WAH WAH WAH WAH, all of your morons need to stop -blam-ing. CERTAIN AFFINITY MADE THESE MAPS, do you seriously think that they shouldn't be paid for making them? 4 bucks for 2 maps, if your poor enough to not afford 4 damn dollars, you shouldn't own an xbox or a 360, nor should your ass be able to afford Live!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop complaining.

The new maps will not be available in matchmaking immediately. We’re going to wait roughly a week to allow people time to get them downloaded before we roll out our next playlist update. This is currently slated to happen around 4/24 to 4/27ish but we’re going to wait and see how things are going online before locking that down.

ahh, so it begins. can't wait! i bet it's gonna be a surprise too! yay! Bungie, you all are just full of surprises! ^_^ lol

Clans, do they serve a purpose any more? I would like to know why you guys took clan matches out and if you're not going to put them back in then why have clans at all?

Just thought I'd ask cool update though
