yeah i am a 360 user as well and whenever i try to download the maps, it says purchase failed. :( This hurts bungie/xbox live, i want these maps. i've taken all of the privacy locks off, and have a working credit card hooked to my gamertag. HELP!!!!!!!

Hey bungie. Thanks. Now when we superbounce we die in tombstone. Way to let somebody else screw up our favorite halo maps.

  • 05.10.2007 2:39 PM PDT

I call BS. I was charged 2 times. I paid for the maps on 04/18 and again yesterday 05/10. I had to redownload the maps as it is needed to play MM. I believe I'll need to call MS support to get this fixed but I'm not sure spending 1/2 a day with them is worth $4.

Thanks.

Hmm, I'm trying to download the maps again, but whenever I go into the Content Downloader, it just restarts the game. Any advice?

This is all about payback the pinhead that screwed this whole map thing up. Stated he wanted everyone who got these maps free at no fault of their own banned from getting them. Ignoring it was xboxlive and bungie who screwed up. And that is exactly what they are doing. They blocked or banned my Visa card and when I put in another visa card that too was banned or blocked then I put in my MSN Visa card you guess it BANNED or blocked, oh they will not tell you that, this does prove it. So, I tried my AMEX card and got around this ban, instant purchase yeh. But, wait "Installation of content failed" boo and you guessed it I am banned from downloading them. 30 hours still can`t download maps. A service rep did tell me I am one of the lucky ones who has the honor of paying for something They won`t let me have. Lucky me thanks.
As you know Xbox live reps have no idea on how to fix this. The pinhead that lost face on this outrageous H1B visa debacle. (Bill Gates wonderful new world order you know). Shows how incompetent Microsoft has become. They want only the money and they obviously do not care whether or not anything works. Do not blame the customer service reps they can`t do anything about it. The syphilitic mutant suits that cause this problem at Microsoft are to blame.

And to all you little morons who like to chime in on how you didn`t have any problem getting these maps. It`s nice to know your diapers still fit on you now get mommy to get the load out of them you little crap eaters.

i like how no one from bungie is giving suggestions for us either, we just gripe in here for nothing... last advice we got was to "cal xbox support and they will fix your problems" and that didnt happen, so now nothing

I don't even think bungie or microsoft care anymore, as long as Bill Gates has his daily Bath of 20 dollar bills he just earned for charging 4$ he's fine with us gripeing on this forum. He doesn't care if we clog up the xbox support offices, cuz this has happened before.

I got charged twice for dowloading the Blastacular Map pack to my 360 (same machine). Once on 4/17 and again when I downloaded the updated Blastacular Map pack on 5/9. No Mods, no nothing.

I called XBox Live Customer support, and they said there was nothing they can do right now. Even talked to a supervisor. WHAT THE F--K!!!!!! "We double billed you, but there's nothing we can do.... sorry!!! Sucks to be you."

PEOPLE.... check your credit card charges, see if you got screwed too.

By principle it is.... I think this is worth embarrassing MS in the media. I called MS Support and they weren't too helpful. Even if you don't call.... this would be a huge embarrassment in the media, if they didn't fix this problem even for people who did not complain about being double billed..

"We'll screw people over an extra $4.00. Half won't notice, the other half won't care.... we'll double our revenues."

This is absolutely ridiculous. I should be able to play matchmaker without paying $4.00. Shove it, Bungie, I thought you all had more decency than this.

A few days after the initial release of the new maps, we purchased them using my parents credit card. Now that the updated maps have been released, I'm unable to play in matchmaking with the maps that I have paid for. When I try to download the updated maps, (purchase, don't purchase screen) I keep getting purchase failed, try again later. Will we actually have to pay for the maps again? Please clarify this situation for me. Thanks.

i was finally able to download the new maps, xbox support said they would call me within 48 hours after my first call/attempt at fixing the problem, but of course they didnt call me back, i called back, and it seemed like the guy went through the same steps as the first time, but it ended up working. the only advice i can give is try performing maintenence on your 360 console. if you dont know how to do it.... go to SYSTEMS, then MEMORY, then press Y to go to DEVICE OPTIONS. at that screen hit X,X,LB,RB,X,X... hopefully this works for you guys, i think thats what did the trick for mine, but i could be wrong

Baa!! (Edit)

Does anyone have any other information?!? Or have you all been through the same hoops of fire.?

Click the "Support" link on the top of this page... or follow this link ( http://www.bungie.net/Help/default.aspx ) this is what you'll find:

Bungie creates their products.... but the kids at Xbox Live Support "support" them?

I think it is safe to say that microsoft and/or bungie staff are ignoring this problem for the time being. Whether this has anything to do with the upcoming halo 3 beta launch next week, who knows. However it is appalling that so many people having difficulty with this download (myself included), people who have supported bungie by buying this map pack, are being neglected. I hope this problem will be solved as soon as possible because there are a lot of halo 2 fans who are frustrated and have lost their patience. Any admission of a problem actually existing, plus possible action to remedy it would be greatly appreciated, to say the least. I have never had a grievance with bungie before, so I hope they heed their fans complaints and concerns.

When i try to download the blastacular pack it won't let me it says that i won't be charged and that the purchase failed. I get this about every map pack but the other ones eventually let me download them but his one won't.
