what if whenever somebody tries to download the maps it registers as a new xbox then it downloads and charges time after time despite being on the same gamertag and xbox cause it links to the xbox but what if the xbox doesnt recognize it as ever being on the console before and thus says you need to pay. so some people might pay time after time not knowing ...this is pure speculation though and i doubti its there but it could be

Still no maps here.... I have tried everything... I am so frustrated I quit trying to get them... The support line doesn't know anything and no one has a fix... This is so stupid.

I dont have the maps ethier. This is crazy how can a company put out a product with so many faults. This looks bad on all of bungie, xbox, xboxlive, and Certain affinity. I have taken my halo 3 reserve off as have some of my friends. What kind of company puts out defective products. Sorry but they are probly loosing bussiness from everyone now. it has been more than a week. frankie promised in the update: things would be taken care of by monday, it is now friday. it pretty sad that they are doing so little to let us know whats going on. Not to mention Xbox live support is pretty worthless anymore. Also if they are making halo 2 look this bad what do you think halo 3 beta downloading will be like? its just one problem after another.


i completely agree! Live support is worthless and each moron i speak to, microsoft obviously outsourced to India. why didnt they just save all this trouble and release an actual disc. easy as pie. but no, simple principle economics: minimize costs to increase profits. sweet, microsoft you can keep my $4.

Hey if anybody reads this soon realize that right now there are less than 16000 people on halo 2 at this point in time so you should attempt to download the maps within the next few hours for optimal chance at getting a server of course that might not help at all but its worth a shot

I got the maps just fine but my cousin, who plays on the screen beside me, can't get them... It says purchased but also says installation error... I don't know what to do neither...

They should release a map-disk to all gamestops and related game places for $4 and let people buy them since downloading them ain't working for everyone...

Using bungie's "big mac" analogy, I went to "McDonalds" and bought a "Big Mac" almost two weeks ago. I keep going to the "counter" to ask what the problem is and they tell me "keep ordering your Big Mac a few times a day every day and maybe eventually you'll get it."


It is amazing how Xbox Live Customer support tells me the same thing.

BR55 Battle Rifle - $320
Halcyon-Class Cruiser - $198,783,189,420.92

There are some things marines can't do.For everything else,
there's Master Chief.

"Purchase failed...please try again later." Yeah I've been trying later for what seems like forever. Well I'm glad to hear that i am not the only one with this problem. I still want to enjoy MM. If there are a lot of people who can't download them, then MM will be a little more empty even with rank resests. If Bunige and Mircosoft don't fix this then the best idea would be to offer them for free. I don't mind paying...IF it friggin' worked!

I still don't have the maps on my 360. When 4myxbox suggested it was a network problem, I tried downloading them on my orginal xbox and it went thorugh the very first time. I believe the problem is limited to a certain group of 360s. Maybe its tied to manufacture date, I'm not sure

Well Im on 360 and I don't have the original Xbox so... Well lets hope MIcrosoft and Bungie fix this before the Playlist update. and that's the problem with Microtranactions.
Question: How long was it before the first multiplayer map pack was offered for free?

  • 04.30.2007 6:22 AM PDT

I play eye tag with death, shes such a flirt. I play the hand life deals me.......then I cheat.

I dunno I was getting simuliar errors but I just cept at it and I got them now I sit in limbo waiting for the playlist to be updated so I can actually play them.

My advice is to keep at it, if enough problems occur they can just refund you guys the charges or at least give you $4 microsoft point credit.

i believe all xbox 360 users or wireless control users get this message but that brings up a good point ill try with a wired controller and see if it makes a difference...

ya just tried with a wired controller on my 360 and it still said please reconnect controller and press a and the maps still didnt download


I get this message too, but if you add a second wireless controller and use it to sign it, you don't get the please reconnect controller error. It didn't help me any but maybe some others could give it a shot???

i got them the 1st day they came out and there not that great i wouldnt really play them again but if it means the update ok.

  • 05.01.2007 3:04 PM PDT

IT'S NINJA TIME !

Bunch of TRILIS, uhnmm just make sure you update your credit card or debit card if you are using XBOX, but make sure you do that online because for some technical reason it won't let you update on the dashboard. On the 360 I dont know. That's all.

  • 05.01.2007 3:45 PM PDT

Everyone who is having the "Installation Failed" error should try again today, because I had the same message since the release of the maps, and it worked today. It usally said Purchased under the maps, but when i went back it said $4.00, so im thinking they may have fixed some more problems. And sorry if it doesn't work. Just thought id try and help.

It's downloading for me.. but you are right... it charged me $4.00 again... so now I have to call billing and cancel one of the charge....

not sure if it actually charged you the first time, after what Frankie said, we might have been under the "cheaters" lol, and got them for free. I would still make sure though, and double check.
