If I have a 360 and I did use a credit card to get my GT, how would I go about downloading the maps? Will it just tell me to put in my credit card number?

PREMIUM PURCHASE TROUBLE

I am having trouble downloading the new maps. I guess when I had the original XBOX I had disabled premium purchases. It wsa so easy for anyone playing my XBOX that I thought it would be my best option. I never thought of having to put it back on enabled before I migrated my account to my XBOX 360. I called 1-800-4- MY-XBOX and they told me that I would have to create another account in order for me to download these maps. First off, I dont think they know what is going on. Secondly, I want to download the mapsto my current account and dont have the money to start a new account. Thirdly, I already have my credit card information on file with my XBOX 360. I have had it there since the beginning. According to Bungie.com's instructions, I have to add my credit card. Well, its been there since the very beginining.

I tried adding a new credit card (although it is the same one becuase its the only one I have). My credit card is not expired, I have money (enought to cover the $ 4.00 atleast) and then I get a message saying that I cannot add a duplicate card. What gives? Bungie should have thought this out a little bit better especially when it was said that the maps were going to be available for the XBOX 360 only. I cant go back to my original XBOX and enable the premium purchases becuase it is probably somewhere in GOD knows where when I sold months ago.

Tombstone is brilliant. Certain Affinity did a fantastic job on recreating Hang 'Em High to fit the obvious gameplay differences in Halo 2. I've played 2v2 BR slayer and FFA Snipes on it and both work wonderfully. I'm hearing good things about CTF on Tombstone and I have no doubts that they're true.

Desolation, on the other hand, is a different story. I was looking foward to this map more-so than Tombstone because I was a huge fan of the original and because Certain Affinity said that they were designing it with proffesional gamers in mind. While they got the layout for the map spot-on for proffesional gaming with plenty of choke points and awesome map control ability, they made it a wasted effort with the weapon layout they chose.

Please name me one feature of the Sentinal Beam that makes it a "proffesional weapon"(I'll save you the effort and tell you that there isn't). I don't think I need to say anything about the sword being on the map. Having two overshields destroys any map control aspect of the level relating to power-ups. An alternating spawn of camo and OS would have done nicely if you wanted to put two power-ups on the map(same goes for Tombstone). Finally, I was extremely dissapointed at the exclusion of the sniper rifle as it was a key gameplay component on Derelict.

Now, all that being said, one might say, "Well why don't you just put it on Human weapon sets you big baby?" The same reason why you can't play Human weapons on Elongation; brute shots become rockets. So thanks for giving proffesional gamers a sweet map if they want to play rifles, but I'd say that they're probably going to give it a try and then leave it alone.

But ending on a grateful notel; artistically, the maps are the most beautiful thing seen on Halo 2 and they're a good finish for a good (cough) game.

Well I need a solution. If I can't play these maps, I'm going to throw my 360 out the window.

Awesome. Can't wait to play them.

Ok, no. I made a mistake. Not a big one but a mistake. It doesn't say "download failed," it says "PURCHASE failed." Still, I need a solution.

ok so if i put a credit card as my payment option on my 360 will it ONLY use it for this purchase and not for buying xbox live membership since my mom is only buying me this with her credit card since she doesnt like to use it.

I want to buy xbox live using prepaid cards and not a credit card is there someway where i can use the credit card to purchase the maps and use a prepaid card to purchase xbox live membership?

Could anyone help?

Im in the same boat,
On my original xbox i had premium downloads turned off, so my sons couldnt go buying everything the wanted.
When we got a 360 i sold my original xbox on ebay and transfered my gamertag to our new 360. I have the gamertage on a child account, but i have checked and i have every setting off, thus downloadable content one says no restrictions etc. I also have a credit card to the account which is still active and i even tried a new one, yet it still says premim content is turned off. I have no idea what to do, its amazing how a 4 dollar transaction can be so difficult, hopefully bungie fixes it so i can play matchmaking.
Any help would be appreciated

Was over at my friend house (I has no money on the card right now) and we played Tombstone for quite some time. Both are well done, from an artistic standpoint the best that have been made, on the subject of popularity Tombstone is better than Lockout to me and my friend, on overall best map I would say Tombstone, Desolation has some iffy weapon choices and where they spawn seems somewhat non-directed towards hardcore gamers (I'm not a hxc gamer myself). Good job C.A., I hope they do well on there future endeavors.
