What credi card di you use

  • 04.19.2007 6:49 PM PDT

the other day, I tried to download the 2 new maps, after a short time, i found out that i need to attach a credit card to my account so that i could be billed the $4 for the game. However when i went to the content download for the maps again, the bar started at the very beginning, then shot all the way up. After this I was sent to a screen that said, "content download failed, please see www.xbox.com for help". I couldnt find anything to help me on xbox.com, so i figured it must be something wrong with my modem, i pushed the reset button on my modem and on my router. After this the same thing occured on the download menu that had before. I thought that something could be wrong with my hard drive, so wiped it clean of all game memory. Now, it still wont download the new maps, and now it even wont download the maptacular map pack( containing-terminal, backwash, ect.). I am at a loss, the content download page even says below the download for Tombstone and Desolation that they have been purchased. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem, I have tried everything I can think of.

I just called XBOX, and as for those who purchased the maps but cannot download them (original xbox); You just have either wait a while, or keep pressing A (like me). Turns out that Halo 2 download servers are getting too much bandwidth from the massive downloading. Get the a-pressin thumbs ready!


It amazes me that no one here can read. It's like they come in thinking they're the only person with the problem; when in fact there's been over 25 pages of nothing but the same problem. Honestly people...

  • 04.19.2007 7:40 PM PDT

Yep same here......damnit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ggrrrrrr......
Reading is not on the top list of skills, huh? lol

Nah, updates go into the 7GB of the HDD you can't use. This says "incomplete data" & its 2MB. So I'm just assuming its from the Blastacular pack.

Well here is a new problem for everybody. I had the same error where i couldnt download the new maps and i should go get xbox support online, of course i found nothing that helped me there. So i read the main article again and did what it said and used a different t.v. Now it says that i need a new update from xbox live. I downloaded it and the consol restarted but the same update comes up again. I have done this over 100 times and every time it says i need an update. Now i know that there couldnt have been over a 100 updates in a one month period, so i tried playing halo 2 without them. When i tried to both of my xbox live accounts werent there and it says "dont sign in" or "make a new account".

Ive read most of the posts on this forum, so i am going to try and wait it out. If it is another problem and you know how to fix it, please tell me!!

  • 04.19.2007 8:59 PM PDT

Do you think that the file is incomplete and not repairable without deleting and reinstalling. The only problem is that in order to delete the fragmented map pack file you have to be able to select it. My 360 does not recognize fragmented files. It only displayes the finished download. If I could only delete and reinstall it might solve the problem.

Anyway, Bungie is probably going to have to push back the date for integration of the maps into matchmaking. Many people do not have the maps and I'm quit sure that players are not going to be very pleased with their current position. The only way at this point they could continue with the matchmaking update is if they designed a miracle fix that ended this whole fiasco. I personally have called MS tech support numerous times and they just step me through the same process over and over with no luck or avale.

To end my point, I really wish bungie would at least let us know the status of our perdicament and give us some sort of reassurment.

I am running on a first release 360 from the US.

I haven't seen this problem so I apologise in advance if it has been mentioned elsewhere.

I have a 360 and did the update to take Halo 2 to V1.5. Now I cannot access xbox live through Halo 2 to download the maps. This is driving me crazy. From the 360 dashboard I can connect to xbox live without a problem but when I try to log in to xbox live in Halo 2, it fails and I cannot get access to xbox live to download the new maps. I get told I have a network problem even though I dont. I get offered network troubleshooting but of course that doesn't yield anything becasue the result of the subsequent test is that all is well. This problem surfaced straight after updating to v1.5 which of course I did straight after logging into xbox live under v1.1.

I have cleared the cache to no avail.

I have got a friend with a 360 to mimic what I have done and he gets through to the download screen.

I am at a loss to undesratnd what is wrong.

Anyone???????????????????????

I have a similar problem as STIKURU1. I purchased the maps but the download failed and I recieved an error message saying go to xbox.com. However there is no support information on there about this. I am just wondering if I should just wait and try downloading these maps later? Is there too many people downloading them at once? I have tryed over and over to download these maps onto my 360 but I get the same 'download failed' message. Is there a way to fx this?

A bit off topic from the technical issues going on... has anyone else noticed the easter egg in Tombstone?

My friend BladeValant546 is credited with the find, but there is a model of an M6D (Halo 1) Pistol inside the grating on the (now blue base) side of the trench. Does anyone know of some way to possibly get inside that grating? We have been trying every glitch in the book for hours to get inside there and try to see if the mighty Halo 1 Pistol of Power is able to be picked up or not.. Probably not but... we have to be sure.
