Kids can be so cruel

Day 12, starting to go insane I think, not much time left now, trying to keep myself from resorting to playing other games.
Every time I close my eyes I see "installation failed" and I can't take it anymore. edit btw jk

Well I decided to play Halo 2 (on my 360) today and went to download the new maps. Started the game, logged in, wanted an update. Ok..did that, then it tells me my downloadable content is damaged and needs to be redownloaded...hmm..tried to download the new maps but it tells me Premium Purchases aren't enabled, when in fact they were. Now I'm sitting at the select map menu, and none of the downloaded maps are there...what the hell? Is this a result of having to send my 360 back to Microsoft? I'm really getting fed up with this whole "Xbox experience" thing.

Im sick of people coming in here telling us they have downloaded the maps with no problems, us the customers have paid for the mpas and havent recieved them. Ive had it with bungie and MS. This is complete sh1t. My problem is that it sais i have purchased the mpas.. but of course when i go to custom games and look at my maps they are no where to be seen. I might as well keep on hitting the dl button about 400 times. So now when ranks are reset and everyone with the new maps is happy i assume i will be sitting in my basement with my controller through my tv pissed off because i cant download the maps in which ive paid for like the other 10,000 people that are having issues. If youve had the same problem i have please help.

I get the delightful "Download Failed" message.But does anyone else get something that says "Please reconnect controller" when you first start the downloader? I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it.

FYI.. I read the entire post, comprehended the little girls crying about nothing, learned that stupidity is contagious, live it every day on these forums, and love pointing it out to people like you. : o

Have any of you tried a different Halo 2 disk??? Clear your Cache and reload using a new or different disk, then retry the download. The installer for new content is on the disk and even the slightest scratch on that area of the disk will cause the "installation failed" message.

  • 04.29.2007 2:02 PM PDT

Yes I am one of the many unlucky people who can't download but i would like to point out that bungie dose try! come on lets see you design a download that works for both the xbox and the 360. =) Alos note that they are working on something bigger and better than two little maps like ooo Halo 3?!? and Halo 3 Beta!?! Yes you did pay for it but im sure that if bad gose to worse you will at least get a refund! o ya and I do not feel sorry for those that that tried to get out of the 4 dollars and made themselves freeze up and yet they show pitty and are fixing it for you too.

Me in halo 3 "Now lets watch that headshot in slow motion!"

Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong
THIS is the way the World ends.

I'm on a 360. I get the 'purchase failed, you will not be charged' message. And yes the credit card is valid.

unfortunately if we did sue bill gates might ban us from ever playing xbox again and then we would have to get our stuff off the black market or else go to sony nahh black market for sure

ahh i just had a thought of what it would be like to get 1 billion dollars from bill gates after a law suit i would be all like "im in your pockets stealin yo moniez" and bill gates would be all pissed but then he would say "im just returning the favor"

switching disks didn't work for me. I'm done with these little "tricks" to get them. Bungie just needs to get it fixed (even if that means they should kick some -blam- over at microsoft being as they are in the SAME building up in redmond. Even if it's a microsoft problem, Bungie knows that everyone trusts them to keep us up-to-date more than microsoft. I'm gonna start a new topi and I think everybody should partiipate, i think it will prevent this problem from happening again

Still nothing. I can't really do a lot since I'm still with an original Xbox. But last night around 1:30 A.M Mountain Time I went to the download content, got my Xbox controller that has a turbo button, I leaned a Gamecube controller on the button so it kept clicking A, I left it like that for 9 hours and when I woke up and checked on it, it was still showing installation failed
