I have read that I don't have to erase the old maps in order to re-download the fixed maps for MM.

However, when I go to replace the bugged maps, it does the normal "you have already purchased...." "do you wish to download..." prompts again.

I choose yes, and when the downloader starts, the status bar fills all the way up almost instantaneously, and then it kicks me back saying "download failed, you will not be charged for this transaction(or something to that effect)"

Now, I inadvertently downloaded the maps for free... I lost my debit card, canceled it, downloaded the maps under the old number(it went through anyway)
I have changed my CC# tied to my 360 account to my new card and is this what's giving me problems? or do I need to delete my ill-gotten maps and re-download from scratch?

"Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana."

I can't get the downloads either. I tried on 5/8 around 5 p.m. CST and kept getting the message unable to download maps. I did pay for the maps before and I can still use them, but I can't download them to get them updated.

maybe the servers were just too busy?

I don't understand, does this mean bungie could have fixed the super jumps in all the maps released after the game, if so wtf

Heres my understanding. I am going to call again and wait on the phone with some INDIAN GUY ACROSS SEAS to try help my services out, so he can say OOH We dont have your address you must of made one up, or you didnt pay for anything already it says. Whats your GT and Phone Number again. For an hour thats all I got, I even had to go into the Friggin Games Download section of marketplace through him to look for it. Wow. XBL is workin hard for my four bucks. I think if i didnt really pay for it, I will not buy them again. Cause to be honest. This game is old, and to qoute someone else on here "its a game for whinney 12 year olds" and it so is, not to mention if you do a game with your friends they whine like there 12 as well. Theres no winning. If I did purchase these maps, Then I was dooped into something I thought was going to be really cool and fun. But when you have friends that didnt want to play custom games, I guess your best bet was GOW or some other game that seems to run nice and smooth. I lost a lot of faith in bungie over this. I lost a lot of time wasted for this, and I lost all respect for the game HALO2 multiplayer. Ooowell, just dont do this to me for Halo3 and I will buy HaloWars.

So.....err When is the matchmaking update? I hope you won't make us wait too much longer since it was meant to be out a few weeks ago now.

so im still not able to download the maps, never have been and still cant, and the advice on callin xbox support, well that didnt go so well either. spent at least an hour on the phone, adding and deleting profiles, checking account info, privacy settings blah blah blah, all they could do is "escalate" my sitiuation and call me within 48 hours... so i ONLY have to wait for 2 more days to be on the phone for another hour..... good stuff, im not sure if these 2 maps are worth the hassle, and hang 'em high is my fav. map of all time.

so not worth this. Even if it is 4$ I mean seriously how much longer are we going to be on halo2. It will be hitting Platnium Status on Xbox and all the little kids will get it which will throw the adults off it anyway. Beta is soon to be, then soon the release of Halo3, and Halo2 will be in the dust. I like to think now Bungie set this up for a quick buck. I hope were heard, and I hope they feel like crap about everything they have said and hyped up for nothing. I am use to hype, being from superherohype.com and all, but this was bad.

Haha. First time I loaded the Map it took 5 hours on my 360. Then I downloaded them on my old Xbox and it worked by just one try. Now it is the same download worked on the old xbox again and I still can not load them to my 360. But I loaded them at the 16th or 17th of April. First you guys said the maps would be 360 only now for both. If Microsoft hadn´t buy Bungie in 2000 or 2001 Halo would be a PC game an the Maps would be for free.....
I´m gone try it tomorrow again, maybe the hol day. But guys the Reset should be 4 weeks ago. It really sucks. 2 New Maps lol. A good Programer should have done this in 2 Days for free. Look at the Halo Custom Edition. People made the Halo 2 Maps for it and all for free. Ok ok i don´t mind about 3€ but Halo 2 is 3 years old. And the maps are 5 years old. And then the download on 360 doesn´t work good. Did anyone loaded them at the first try? (just on 360). If you had really fixed the problems I should be able to download them.....


np w/ download to 360..... np w/ re-download. Took 5 mins both times.... WOW! I'm a lucky girl!!! WooT ;D

you know bungie didnt make the maps right? Certain affinity did, and the only reason that there is so much trouble is because of having to release it on both systems, personally i believe they should have taken a bit more time and made another 2-3 maps then released it like the other map pack on disk.

the only thing to blame is the live service and how it does things, at least they are trying to fix it for you guys, and delaying everything else for you guys, yet you still whinge and carry on like spoilt brats, yes its crap how its screwing some people around, and those who arent having trouble are getting stressed about delays, but there isnt much Bungie or CA can do about it, except keep everyone informed on what the live team are doing to help you guys..

and im the same as Are U A Girl, no probs with downloads to 360 or OXbox.

I still can't download the map. I have been able to download all the other maps fine so I know the problem isn't with my 360. I really don't see the point for these maps. Halo 3 comes out november first and I am putting my reservation down for legenday edtion this weekend. So whats the point ? Money maybe, but I say screw the maps and just reset the stats and let us Halo fans get on with our lives and stop spending hours on the phone and in front the TV trying to download stupid maps that don't work and haven't worked sinced the day they came out!!!!!!! They say the maps are fixed now but thats crap I still can't download them and worse now I can't play ranked Halo2 games now this is crap!!!!!!

Yeah I was talking to my friend yesterday (we both have x-box 360s) and we still can't download the maps. Shouldn't bungie make it so it can automatically be downloaded onto a 360 much easier than the normal x-box I mean shouldn't that make more people want to buy the 360? For both of us it says purchase failed! We were able to download the other maps so much easier. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!!!

it seems like the only people who are telling us to stop complaining, are the ones who already have the maps... im not putting full blame on bungie, i know the xbox live team is the one who jacked it up. i am pretty dissapointed however, at how they said on this very forum discusion, to "call support and they will fix your problem" so undoubtingly and when i call them, i spend over an hour on the phone, absolutley nothing gets fixed, thats my gripe

Are these two new maps for PC or Xbox? Are they similar to any Halo 1 or Halo 2 maps?

I dunno.. but getting rid of bounces is mental. why not have two forms of maps. one cutom the other matchmaking. on the custom there are no invisible walls or deathnets and on the matchmaking there are walls and deathnets...

I mean part of playing halo2 is boucing and glitching. Everyone needs a break from MM sometimes

I think the only people having problems are 360 owners am I right? I mean I thought that the x-box and bungie team were going to make it benefit for those who have a 360.
