The Road Train

If you have parental controls on your xbox you may have trouble, if you dont however you could always, just go to your account settings check the credit card linked to your 360/xbox go into the info then save it and then try again, we had to do that last night to a few of our xboxs.

also some people cant even see the maps to download, we had the same problem to and we unplugged the cable from the router and put it straight into the console then everything worked.

ok who did make them then? it must have been microsoft; lol if you think that then get off halo. Anyway. im glad i didnt download these maps because that sucks of what im reading. Or maybe they meant to do this so you would have to download the maps over and over and pay for them evertime just to make money. I think that if the maps were so courropt then they shouldn't have made them or shouldn't have made them cost money.RIP-OFF. jk

bungie this is the second time in one week you mad me and a billon gamers hate you.. the new maps look like crap. they play good but its and eye sore. tombstone would kick azz for BTB SKIRMISH but oh wait you took that off, god you guys suck azz

  • 04.17.2007 10:41 PM PDT

anyone can fly, but if you dont try you might as well fear success

Actually Dome, Certain Affinity RE-made the maps, it wasnt bungie. And if you read the whole thing when it says instillation of content failed it doesnt charge you. The other thing is, if your having trouble DL them it has nothing to do with Bungie, it is most likely something on your end. i.e. the type of connection you have or what router you are going through, so dont blame Bungie for the DL proccess

And thelastspartan, they didnt neccisarily take BTB Skirmish off, they just merged it with BTB Slayer, and who knows, maybe next wekk Hang 'em High (ill always call it that) will be in the line up. And if not, thats Bungie's choice, its their game, they created it.

The "stubs the zombie" guy made them... so bungie sorta' did... I mean, he did work there.

I like xbox.com's fix for this is "update your credit card info". Mine stops halfway through DLing, I don't have credit card probs. Other people get currupt file errors. Didn't anybody test this? I thought xbox live stuff had to go through certification; wtf?

this is the only forum i know of that relates to halo 2 and the new map issues

so calm the *BLAM down!!! jerk! ill post wherever the hell i want to..


also, i must say im EXTREMELY dissapointed in bungie AND microsoft AND anyone else working on the CRAP that they have put us through on xbox live recently... yeah bungie is funny and they type all witty and use funny words but in reality microsoft must have bungie by the balls because someone keeps screwing us over with all this lagg and charging us for halo 2 maps... and now map download issues!! not even mentioning those few "updates" where all of friggin xbox live is down.. 14 hours? PSHHHH lets make it 20 hours!!!!

if they only let us REAL gamers run xbox live... everyone would be happy ALL the time because WE WOULDNT CHARGE FOR HALO 2 MAPS!!! GAHHHHHHH!!!!

On gamefaqs people are saying that if you had premium content disabled on your old xbox, that's the prob. But I had premium content disabled on my xbox and I was still able to download the premium stuff from Rainbow Six 3 on my 360.

  • 04.17.2007 10:55 PM PDT

you know dingo, lagg has nothing to do with Bungie, it all has to do with your connection and/or your hosts connection. About the maps, of course t hey are going to charge us! It took a lot of time and effort to make those maps so they arnt going to just put them up for free. And really, if you think $4 is too much for two new maps you must be pretty cheap. You can make $4 without a job on any given day. About those updates where XBL is down its not JUST Halo 2, its all of Xbox Live. They cant run something that big w/out having to run maintenance every once in a while.

Frankie,

I am currently unable to play Halo on my Xbox 360 because I constantly get network problems and errors after playing 2 or 3 games and then my xbox won't recognize my gamer tag. Their's something wrong with Halo 2 and its compatbility with my Xbox 360. I am able to download all the maps and updates up to now fine, but I simply cannot stay logged online. I'm fairly certain theirs issues with Halo 2 Live and the Xbox 360.

I remember reading somewhere that this upcoming patch would help resolve issues for people who had trouble playing Halo 2 on their Xbox 360. Is this true? Or am i forced to jump through hoops to convince Microsoft I'm not lying?

This is SO retarded.

1. I got my 360 set up to an old TV cause of the retarded UI download screen.
2. When I hit the download I got the same Premium Purchases disabled.
3. When I tried to change the 360 family setting -> content downIoad I got the 'No child account' thing...
4. I created a new Silver Account that is an under-18 child one, then I was finally able to turn on Premium Purchases... for that account.
5. Then I realized, you can't download the content BECAUSE IT IS SILVER account. and I can't change the setting on my gold one... -blam!- great.
6. So I have to buy a NEW $80 gold account just so I can use the premium purchases enabled account to download it??? -blam!- off.

So then I thought, -blam!- this and decided to just download the maps on my original Xbox.

1. I loaded up the download screen on my Xbox and got THE SAME PREMIUM PURCHASES DISABLED.
2. I tried to go to Account Setting so I can change the premium purchases... and I got 'Service Temporarily Down' or some such... -blam!- great my Xbox is even more retarded then the 360.
3. So I can't download the maps on my original Xbox either... it is -blam!- impossible.

So I spent about 4 hours trying to get this -blam!- to work and got nowhere.
THANKS A LOT BUNGIE!

HyperGrunt

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! I downloaded these maps this mornin no problem. I feel sorry for you 360 owners who are having trouble. Tombestone is really fun, but the one thing I hate is that I die right when I get out of the map. There's got to be a hole somewhere. Desolation's pretty good to, but it's kindoff dark.

In regards to the new maps, im unable to download them to my 360 due to it failing each time i try, my cc info is up to date and linked to my live acc. Everything is how it should be except when i click purchase it fails to download.

As to certain individuals saying the maps should be free? Well how bout you work for free when you get a job, release maps and dont expect to pe paid for the time and effort involved in their creation. Would you work at wallmart or mcdonals and not get paid?

why is it that i downloaded the maps no problem this morning but having them downloaded didnt do me -blam!- cause once on xbox live they didnt play the levels once all day, maybe im just that unlucky or the programmers just love jerking off to turf that much i dont know. but if im gonna pay for the -blam!- at least play the damn thing
