I got my new maps on my 360. now comes the fun part. alternating 1 flag on tombstone with touch return on, 5 minutes per side, no time limit until one team caped 3 flags. The days of old, ending the game with 250+ kills. litterally a single game could last up to an hour and a half. not sure how it will work out on tombstone, but i am sure however it works out it will be a blast.

Tombstone ROCKS!!! Desolation is Ok, I guess... :P


Desolation's pwnage lies in the details. The very, very minute, laser etched details.

i guess its true...i honestly thought it was a typo when it said rumble pit UNRANKED. seriously, i dont care if the population is low, its still the only non team game and now itas unranked...and another thing, its bad enough BTB is unranked, but now only 5v5 or 6v6!!??? i mean come on bungie what the hell are you thinking...

Yeah! WTF! So they reduce BTB to 6v6? Didnt they tried that and fail? Not only that, they dont even put the new maps in BTB when maps like Containment (Big) and Warlock (Small) are! And they get rid of BTB Skirmish and make Rumble Pit unranked. It just seems like they are saying... "Heres some cool new maps to cover up for the fact that we are going to destroy match making."

there is no buts... big team battles was the only decent playlist there because it does differnt things and not just slayer slayer slayer.. maybe I and others dont like slayer? maybe we want to kick ass in a 16 player arm the bomb or CTF match?

I get to the downloader in Halo 2, but when I try to download the maps I get an error message that premium downloads are not enabled. I have no child accounts on the box, and I've bought stuff through the dashboard recently. It's a 360. Any Ideas?

same here. whats up with that frankie?!

Add me to the list. "Premium purchases are not enabled for this Xbox Live account." I don't remember ever disabling that when I had the old Xbox, but in any case, I can't seem to turn it back on anywhere on the 360.


And now they got 4......who do i fix this!?

Wanna play the maps :(

I have the same problem, very frustrating

I can't download the maps on my 360 or my regular xbox. On 360 it just fails and says try again later and on the xbox it says my credit card has expired and when I go to the dashboard to try and change my information, it asks for the last 4 digits of the card and I no longer have the card so I can't even get there. Isn't there a way I can just put in a new card number and dl some damn maps? This is making me ANGRY!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh

i agree totally, this blows, and your right they did try it with that team carnage which failed miserably, so they are just going to do it again and nobody will play it, then they will do another update at the end of summer to get rid of BTB somehow. thats exactly what happens when they change this. just keep the core list from when the game first came out and leave them alone

10/10 people would vote yes to keep BTB because BTB is nice to have there for when u have a big party and its good for when u cant be bothered killing in slayer all night. bungie sure do listen to us ;) if they did.. BTB wud be staying.

Is that pistol easter egg a hoax? Has anyone found a way around the death barrier to get out and run around the top of tombstone?

The new maps are great, nice work!

But why will they not be in Double Team and BTB!?
Desolation is the perfect 2vs2 map!

I get a Purchase Failed. Please try again later.
Help please?

  • 04.17.2007 11:16 AM PDT

here is the 2 best solutions to the map problems:
first: make them free
second: failing that, make them available through the 360 dashboard!

AND
for matchmaking
leave rumble pit ranked, BTB where it is, also make BTB slayer ranked again, that used to be my highest level, and make a ranked version of swat

  • 04.17.2007 11:18 AM PDT

I had no problem with the download or the recent update. Tombstone is exactly what I was hoping it would be, and I guess I will have to see how the game types through matchmaking are for desolation before I decide if I really like it. Good luck to the rest of you that had problems with the maps......peace....thanks Bungie

having problems with you credit card being expired and can't change the card number or expiration date in the dashboard? the number to call is 1-800-4MYXBOX and have them update your credit card manually. I had to do that cos my credit card had expired and i no longer had that card. I called up and had them change my credit card info to my new credit card. took about 30 min to do it, but it worked and I got my new maps no prob.

nice threat dude, all of you that continue to complain about the microsoft points need to figure it out. You have had plenty of notice that you would need to use ur credit card.....quit acting as if it was a big shock from Bungie. And hopefully you do cancel ur Halo 3 if ur this big of a baby about something that is this simple, u must be that guy in the lobby that we all can't stand anyway.

Thus I refute thee

does anybody know if they're going to be free at any point due to no credit cards......god dammit

I've noticed a huge splash when you throw a grenade into the water in Tombstone.
