Just got off the phone with Microsoft and they are saying and I quote:" There has been lot's of problems with the Halo 2 video game and new maps. Please wait 24hrs and if the problem is not resolved please call back".

Ok i found out how to get past the premium download block. What i did was created a new live silver account that comes with a one month gold trial with which i was able to get to the area that you can download the maps. I did get the purchase failed message though i guess that is just from server congestion. Hope this helps people.

That's great and all for the 360 people, but what about those of us on the original Xbox? Anything to help us out?

I am using an Xbox 360 and so is my friend. We both cannot download the new maps even though we both have our credit cards linked to our Xbox 360 accounts. Our accounts used to be on our Original Xbox but we moved them over to premium on the 360. We get an error message that says "Installation of content failed. See www.xbox.com for more support information." We have both reset our Xbox 360 and when we loaded Halo 2 back up and went to content download, the symbol for new content is not there and when we highlight Blastacular Pack it still has a star BUT it says we have purchased the content.

Someone tell me whats wrong.

Looks like no luck, that previous post fixed the premium download part, not the installation failure. Microsoft says lots of problems, and wait 24 hours and see if it works? Bummer.

i think i may have found something for all the people including myself having the problem of the "content failed to install". in the update on bungie homepage frankie said :
"The Xbox downloader and update programs needed to get AutoUpdate 5 and the new maps have an odd issue with support of the PAL-60 TV standard on the Xbox 360. This is simply because the backward compatible part of the dashboard was never updated for that resolution and it means you can’t use VGA to run these programs. However, fear not - to work around this, switch over to the composite (yellow) cable that shipped with your Xbox 360, get the update and the maps, and then you can switch back to VGA and play happily like nothing ever happened. Of course, if you’re using a VGA monitor, it does mean you’ll have to connect to a regular TV to complete that process."
now, idk if all the people having this problem are using VGA's and on a 360, but its something that im going to try right now, and i am using a VGA on a 360.

am i the only one that is going to try this?

The new Halo 2 maps are here. Bug fixes, workarounds and more - for folks having troubles, inside.

Thanks... for dividing the Halo 2 population. I can't get these maps.

Life is what you make it not what you do with it.

desolation isnt that symetrical all you have to do is get ov and camp a base with sword and you own the game in cap flag games.

My halo 2 Cd will not load anymore. It says it's not backwards compatible, and there may be an update. I have US 360, and an Xbox live account. I went to go downlaod the new maps, but now i can't even play the game. This is really stupid, should have been released in xbox market place.

Microsoft says it's not that problem, they've just had a lot of issues with the map pack. if that works for you, props. I have a hard time believing that everyone having problems is using VGA though, especially since some are on original xbox?

Me neither, you absolutely have to have a child account to change something that is affecting a regular account? How does that make sense
I even tried making a child account and couldnt figure it out

Then get a 360 LOL. Anyways, that's not the issue. My halo 2 CD is no longer backwards compatible, meaning i can't play it. I don't even like halo 2 that much, but all my friends are on it so i have no choice. No one seems to be having the same problem as me, and i haven't got a single answer yet...
