Its more than just a game .......Its a Lifestyle...!!

Come on Bungie....Step it up a notch........ Not even 1 reply?
Very back yarder .. I think the fanbase for halo deserves at lease 1 reply even if its full of rubbish

So let me get this straight..... bungie completely ignored this forum and just realeased a new top story on how much fun they have been having in the new maps.
Wow.......... i feel appreciated.......
i'm glad Bungie isnt my electric company or worse my clinic. I'd be out of power and dead before i'd get any answers from them. lol

I was one of the percentage that managed to download the maps without a problem, running on an original xbox with a prepaid Titanium Mastercard. Now, if you want immediate help, i suggest phoning the xbox hotline ( 1-800-4MY-XBOX ), however I am not sure if they can help you or not (I'm pretty sure that this problem falls on Bungie's jurisdiction and not the general Xbox Live crew). I'm sure they can at least provide some helpful suggestions however.


one problem. all of our problems are on a 360. all because of the stupid xbox players had to !blam! about not being able to play them so bungie had to rearrange everything and make us have to go through all this trouble.

yeah if it was not for all the stupid ppl with and old xbox who wont up grade complaing that they wont up grade, then we would not be in this problem,
if you dont have a 360 ur prb not going to get halo 3, so your prob not a very big halo fan, thus you dont need the new maps, shame on you!

p.s. has any one found a solution to the "installation failed" mesage,
like bungie was saying the payment is for ur xbox not ur GT, so that if the payment stuffs up or sumthing like that then you have to try on a differnt xbox! unless they use MP, or another patch

Well, on the "Installation Failed message." I'll have to repeat what was said earlier, try downloading it again later. It worked for me. So now I can finally see what the new maps are like.

Good luck to those who haven't managed to get them yet!

Hey Bungie! Way to adress the problem! It doesnt take but two seconds to post something that atleast says "Sorry we're working on it" but apparently thats too much to ask

Downloading these maps is turning into a complete waste of my time. And why do I get the feeling that Bungie is completely ignoring every user with a problem downloading the maps. WTG Bungie, you screwed up, and your not even helping with the issues. I love Halo, and Halo 2, and I used to love Bungie, before they ignored everybody.

omg this is so funny listening to all u people saying.. "bungie doesnt even care about us / me any more"

Its hilarious. You know what they are trying to fix the problem yes, but do u even think they care that u are writing all of this stuff. No. You know why? I do. They have u hooked into their games so much that you will come on to forums and complain all day and night about an issue that needs fixed. They probably dont even look on here. They dont care if you dont like them. They are a big corporation. Since when did a big corporation care about the little people. They know you cant go on without them. And since when do little people like big corporations? Not very often. The point is this is a business, this is life, get used to it!

"THANK GOD for modders"

Really hope that is sarcasm cause if not ur just another piece of $hi7 little kid that thinks he is good cause he can cheat. And #2. This has turned into a forum where 90% of the people here cant even download the maps and ur sitting here rubbing it in more. Go be g4y and mod / CB / Standby scrub

Modding isn't cheating. IN FACT, having a mod chip in your xbox shuts off Live. And soft modders are easily caught. Modding is simply altering the game. As long as he doesn't go on Live with his mods, it's fine for the most part. A modder I once knew is helping in the halo 2 vista design. NiTrOuSoXiDe.

This is true, Bungie doesn't care if you like them or not as long as they're making money. They're not gonna break their backs to fix this problem they know that people will wait for the maps. And while they're waiting Bungie's making money. It's a win win situation for Bungie. My suggestion just wait and keep trying. It has to eventually work.

Well, it looks like somebody at Bungie has got a broken back! I'm downloading! I'm downloading!

I suspect the broken back is from all the patting it's been getting.

Installation failed for me also with a 360 and a gold account associated with a credit card with correct billing info. Oh let me add that they did manage to charge my cc.

I guess u wait about 2 months until they become free, or get a credit card. sux, but dont worry they'll eventually become free.

I think its kinda wrong to wipe the ranks then tell me I have to pay for the maps to play ranked again. I mean come on the last time we got new maps they were free unless you bought the discs! Whats diffrent this time. Its a buncha bull, hell even some of the unranked playlists cant be played without these 2 maps.

Here is the thing.....I have wasted so much time on this. Paid for something I can't download on a 360 yet within 15 minutes I could download the maps and an installer from an alternative site and be up an running on an original xbox in no time. Not that this really was of interest to me because the old xbox is in another room and is now used solely as a media centre. I just wanted to see what the fuss is about and what I should be expecting on my 360....at some time....maybe......??????

Why have you people at Bungie made this download so hard yet hackers can get it up an running and globally distributed in hours?

I have no problem paying for the maps and you had no problem taking the payment so why couldn't you just make the download happen easily enough???

Seriously guys this really is a poor reflection on you. Sadly the whole M$ influence is shining through. I am starting to get really worried about Halo 3....apart from all the obvious attributes a good game needs, it is underpinned by attention to detail, serious quality control and testing and given this is the only thing you have put out in two years and you have made such a mess of it then we should all be getting nervous.

Oh and before all the whining starts about its not Bungies fault then remember they launched it, they hosted it and they are distributing it and given they dont quite know how to make it work on a xbox original or 360 without this much hassle, they need to take ownership for this poor performance. Of course the lack of any form of reply from anyone in >30 pages pretty much sums it up......who cares at Bungie........anyone??????????? .....Of course not.......

Currently I am attempting to download the new maps which guys at bungie have generously produced. But I am having some problems (like many other people) and Im hoping that there are other people who have encountered the same problem as I have.

I own a 360, I have filled in the relevant bank details and it has allowed me to purchase the new maps. But, it is not allowing me to install the content on to my 360. After recieving this messege, I back out of the 'Content download' screen to return to Halo 2 and my 360 freezes up while trying to reboot Halo 2. I have checkd my disc and I even stole my sisters disc to make sure that it was not my disc that was the problem. I have also tried re-downloading the old map packages, such as the; Bonus Map Pack and the Maptacular Pack. Just to ensure that there was no problems downloading the content to my 360. To be honest, I feel I have tried everything from my end and to be quite frank, I am a little baffled.

Now I hope this is a problem that other people have had, instead of this problem being restricted to my console. Coz this will be the third 360 to screw up on me and it is becoming very tiresome.

Thanx for your help so far.
