i think they -blam!- up by makeing death barriers around tombstone so that you cant get out, there are some good superbounces in that map but if you pass that barier your dead.

YES! AFTER 30 MINUTES OF FAILURE, I HAVE FIGURED OUT WHAT TO DO IN ANY SITUATION. PAY ATTENTION!

Problem: "Premium Downloads are Not Enabled"

Solution: Go to the settings and enable premium downloads. Attempt to download the maps. If it fails, attempt to download the maps with a Silver account. This SHOULD fail. Now attempt to download the maps with a gold account, and it will work.

Problem: "Your credit card has expired"

Solution: Add a new credit card. MAKE SURE IT IS SET AS THE DEFAULT.

Problem: "Download failed at this time"

Solution: "Try all of the steps above. If they all are correct, then just keep trying to download the maps, the problem is most likely busy servers.

I hope this helps some people, so they don't have to waste time like I did!

I have a Credit Card, which works quite happily as my Xbox live subscription renewed fine as well as other market place transactions (adding points) working fine.
Yet when ever I try downloading the new map pack with either of my xbox live accounts, I get purchase failed.

Reading this thread it seems many other Xbox 360 users are being hit with the same issue. Whilst I would like to get the new maps, it will not let me.
If you don't provide some method to help players on the Xbox 360 it could seriously impact the number of players able to use matchmaking, as well as put people off Halo3.

Ironically, if the maps had been free then no Xbox 360 users would have *any* problems getting the maps, seems like a good way to divide the community to me, those who can play match making and those who can't because they use a Xbox 360...

Okay im back and now everything is cool... except i can't download the maps, it keeps saying download failed and i won't be charged and to try again later. It's probably just a busy server or something but i'm getting a little pissed cuz all my friends are playing the new maps and i can't. Any Suggestions? Frankie? Anyone?

i got the maps downloaded and i have a 360. The maps are really cool and totally are worth it but the death bariers are annoying because it would be awsome to get out of the maps and it would be soo easy if it werent for the barriers. yea i understand it would be bad for matchmaking but for playing a custom game it would be fun

do people on here not know how to read, there are a bunch of us who posted problems with the original xbox and we can still only get advice from you guys about 360 problems

  • 04.17.2007 6:45 PM PDT

Yeah yeah, my question is. Are the maps worth it for those people that got it? And what the hell is the Easter Egg?

Whether it's superbouncing or interrupting weapon animations, just because we don't personally ban you for it doesn't mean it isn't cheating and extremely poor sportsmanship.

having a silver account isnt going to work because your not using microsoft points you must have a full membership just buy a one month for 7 bucks then by the map

Hey Everybody who does not have a credit card. Go to walmart or target or wherever and buy those visa gift card things you buy them like gift cards then you use them like credit cards then you can toss or reload the card.

Frankie did mention these in one of the last updates.

well i have a 360 and i purchased and downloaded the maps and played them and ive had no problems with them.

in order to buy stuff on a 360 you sometimes have to go to the xbox website, sign in with your windows live id, go to account manegment, then go to family settings and allow it.

Bungie isnt going to make them free, they have to pay Affinity and microsoft for the bandwith and all the other expenses its costing them for these maps but if they could at least put it on the marketplace then there wouldnt be as much problems.
