there's bullet holes where my compassion used to be...

Reminder to everyone (this concerns players such as chhaylatte who are experiencing premium purchases or other players who are having problems downloading ) i am trying to figure out how many people are having problems with the map downloads.
Please sign this petition to get the maps available on the marketplace and resolve all these problems.

WTF!? You have to donate to petition there? That's messed up- guess I'm not signing up after all- sorry PsychoticCpu, but I do agree it's a good idea to get a list of us together who are running into this 'premium content' issue so hopefully Bungie, Microsoft, or someone will give us some love...

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.


your right bro, its still here is a way. but not the way it should and as it stands if the still change it like that. then BTB SKIRMISH is dead. plus the new btb is only 5-6 v 5-6. thats not BTB in any way. and you are right they made the game, its their game but when I spend $50 for this game and every months I spend $62 for a cable modem so I can play this game. I have a right to voice my opinon. its us as gamers that made halo what it is. its are money that is spent to play this game. and it is are love for this game that has kept it alive as long as it has been. and tell me somthing how many time playing halo have you screamed I hate you bungie.. every on halo dose it

Tombstone is a tease with all its doors that won't open and unreachable map locations. Brute shot where the rocket used to be? Boo. Desolation is a terrible map that rewards the team/player that is already winning with 2 (!!!!) opportunities for an overshield. The map is a joke. Bungie- please don't let other peoples shotty work influence your game.

People with the Premium Content xbox 360 problem there has been a work around posted. Search before you post!!! It involves creating a new xbox live silver account then accepting the one month gold trial. After that you attach your credit card to that account then go into the halo 2 downloader and sign on using the new account. You will get no Premium Content Block and you will be able to download the maps. I know this works because i had the same problem and this is what i did to remedy it.

is it possible to delete that new account after you downloaded the new maps, otherwise, you have 2 live account while you only use 1.

btw: can you fill in the creditcard info used for the first account? or do you need to have 2 creditcards

If you...

1. Are over 18 and are crying about not being able to use mircrosoft points, then you have way bigger problems than not being able to play a video game. if you can't manage to apply for a credit card and put $4 on it then you should not be playing games, you should be working or studying since $4 is too much for you to come up w/.

2. If you not old enough to get a credit card and your parents don't let you put $4 on their credit card then:
(a). Your parents don't like you very much and they suck.
(b). You probably have bad grades or ruined their trust in you.
(c). Your parents recognize your a loner w/ no social skills (other than chatting on live) and they would rather you go outside and interact w/ the world.

I downloaded (360) w/ no problems whatsoever. Bunch of crybabies in this thread.

Doesn't help for old xbox users. I too was (finally) able to download the maps on my 360 (using a friend's account that apparently doesn't have the premium restriction enabled).

Unfortunately though, if I want to cough up 4 more dollars for my old Xbox, I can't get them because of this premium content fiasco. Tried moving my friend's account to the old xbox, but the purchase fails every time (is the credit card info stored on the xbox or online?). Please Bungie, at least acknowledge this is a problem and (hopefully) let us know you're going to do something about it!!

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

Bungie said that you may have to re-download them from the map pack game disk.

yea i downloaded the maps just fine but a friend of mine who lives close by couldn't download them for a while. It said that he had purchased them but it kept giving an error message when it came to the downloading part, then after calling xbox support and staying on hold for about 30 minutes, we got to talk to a lady who said basically they didn't know what was going on ........... awesome. Anyways eventually a couple of hours later he just tried again and it worked

Heres how I fixed the Premium Purchases not Enabled problem. I created a Silver XBL Account which automatically becomes a 1 month Gold Trial. I added my credit card to Payment options for that Silver Account and downloaded them with my Silver account. I have it set up to not renew automatically so I don't have to worry about paying for this account later. I just used it to download the maps and I play on them with my regular account.

@ all people with the premium purchase problem

I just created a new xboxlive account (silver) after giving all the information I was offerd to join xbox live gold 1 month for free. So i did that.
Then i went to the setting where I can add a credit card, added my CC. And then, started halo2. Went to the download section, log in on the new (free) account. Now it doesn't say "premium purchase blablabla". I had to select "Purchase" or "Don't Purchase". I selected purchase, and then it said:

Purchase failed. You will not be charged for this transaction. Please try again later.

This might be just a server problem, so i keep on trying now. If i get those maps, I'll let i know here.

Yeah, but this doesn't help old Xbox consoles. I got them onto my 360 finally- but would like to have them on my older box too. :(

It's funny because I don't play anymore.

you know whats funny, i was going to buy these maps and actually come back to Halo 2.....

then, i read that BTB was unranked.....
only reason i hate this is because if a game isnt ranked in Halo 2, all ppl do is team-kill.....which is mat annoying.

well, so much for that.

well, so long Halo 2!
