Subject: Bungie Weekly Update

Being a pessimist, I'm doubting this will work for me on Monday, since it hasn't worked any of the 50+ times I've tried since Wednesday - including a few minutes ago (Saturday, 2 PM ET, April 21). I continue to get the same progress bar that fills completely in less than a second, the screen says "PURCHASED", and a message suggesting I contact XBOX for assistance. I've read dozens of forums posts on Bungie and XBOX.com, and have yet to see a solution that works for me. To say I'm frustrated would be an understatement.

you must put your trust in Bungie and Xbox Live that they will have the maps fixed by Monday and if they don't.....
only hope that these "errors" do not spill over into Halo 3. ;)

TOBESOFHADES I FEEL YOUR PAIN. Halo 1 was the best game ever. Halo 2 sucks, I hope we dont have the same downfall w/ 3. Then they might as well be anyother campaign shooter. Pull your head out of Bill Gates BLAM Bungie!

Not the best update...

No Mister Chief.

No REAL update on the level-resetting update.

Well, at least it was short and to the point.

You can do better Bungie.

As frustrated as I am, I'm optimistic that the maps' ridiculous unavailable condition will improve, and thinking anything similar will happen with H3 is asinine. H2 still relies upon it's own lil' DLC menu, not XBL Marketplace, the Marketplace fixed all the stupid problems that one encountered with the XB180.

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

i have paid $4 on both of my xbox's... one is an original and one is a 360, and i can't get the new maps on either of them.. what is wrong, can i get a refund, perhaps you bungie could send me the maps on a disk... ummm... yeah... so im at a loss for words.. i'm just really angry that i can't play matchmaking because i cant have the maps even though i paid for them.

Great now i can go download the maps ;)


Well maybe for you. I have been trying since the 17th and it won't let me get them. That means I have wasted $4 and missed that all-nighter event tonight. This really pisses me of.

yea, Bungie, your bad; your -blam!- time wasting, dumbass bad. I've trusted you in the past, but these new maps were a monumental failure to deliver a product.

Agreed. This is probably Bungie's biggest failure. Trying to make downloadable content for both was a huge mistake, and in all honesty that's probably what caused it. If they would have just stuck to the 360 instead of making the content for those people that probably won't even buy the next installment of their series, this could have went off without a hitch. I've tried since 6:00 am Tuesday when they first came out, and everytime it's always the same, bar fills instantly, little chime sounds, and then it says, "installation of content failed...blah blah blah" and in all honesty I'm sick of it. I doubt the maps will download on Monday for me anyway. They haven't for the last 5 days, why would they be any different after 2 more days? Sorry Bungie, but you screwed up...bad. I con only hope you better test your products in the future.

yes Bungie, i was a great supporter of you, even after M$ bought you. but this a monumental failure. was this download even TESTED outside of bungie studios? maybe at your homes on both xbox and 360? i cant play with my friends in anything other than swat and training, and thats lame. so we play worms and other games... non-bungie games in particular. i hope you get this issue fixed in a timely manner. I Ditched my Halo Edition XBOX ( ya know the translucent green one with Halo Editino etched into it?) to get a 360. Halo is the flagship of xbox live. always has, and if you come through on HALO3, u still will be the leader. il keep trying to download them, but i keep getting the failure notice and the reminder of this huge failure. shame on you on not coming through on this one. and im out of 4 dollars as of the moment and i cant get a refund.
