I'm bringin' Spartan back.

Hey what the hell is going on ? Ever since you guys re-released the maps to fix bugs (which was a good thing), I can't download the newer maps !! I was able to download them when they first came out, and it did in fact charge me $4. I called XBL Support, and they told me to do 4 different things, one of which included deleting my whole Halo 2 profile from the HDD. Nothing worked after being on the phone with them for 40 mins, and exhausting every possible idea.

Now It's 2:30am and I still can't download the maps. BUNGIE !!! Please just put the stupid maps on Marketplace so I can get them with no hassle. For christ sakes !!!! It was supposed to be 360 only anyway ! Please for the love of all that is holy, fix this and help us out !

You're right, they should have just released the maps for the 360, despite the fact that halo 2 is an xbox game...

Inside the Mind of Halotitan Help me get expand my mind.

it upgraded, its a 360 game now and in my opinion they should have put it on the marketplace. If you can't afford a 360 then tuff, you don't get new maps, thats what you get for not working and buying yourself one. :)

First of all buddy, I'm older than you are. Secondly if you guys had any part of a brain you would know that the maps were supposed to be exclusively for the 360. Now, next time you come on here trying to flame someone, make sure you do the research buddy. This goes for all the rest of you little kids who think that just because H2 came out for the regular xbox, it's not supposed to have support for a way better version of the system. Get a job, make some money, and upgrade to a 360. It's called technology so get used to it. I guess you could ask your parents to raise your allowance.

I'm sure I would work in the Marketplace. I really don't understand how it couldn't work.

You wouldn't have problems if you had the correct copy of the game Halo 2 360

Ok so that was just for jokes, but in all seriousness, how could something downloaded off the marketplace interact with the backwards compatibility system? I don't think it would work.

DOES THIS MEAN HALO 3 IS MADE BY BUNGIE?!?

A destination could be set to go into the correct folder on the C Drive. It's not brain surgery, they could have done it.

That is true, but I don't know if there is a bit check done after the map downloads which may have to be performed by the XB BC system. As I said, it may or may not work if it was marketplace material.

I deleted my perfectly working maps from my hard drive because obviously i have to re download them because Bungie updated the problem, well same thing is it always says purchased failed lol. This is a joke! I can't believe how annoying this is. I like how they don't dare reset ranks because many people have problems but now i can't play & it seems many others with 360's can't but yet they are now happy to reset the ranks this is BS!

Defy, click on the link above, it's what I did today and it worked for me. I was getting Purchase Failed too.

Actually, I have a 360, and that doesn't change the fact that it's an Xbox game. Everyone purchased it for the original Xbox, and they should be able to play every aspect of it on the original Xbox. I realize that the maps were orignally just going to be for 360, but then Bungie realized they couldn't release something exclusively on a game system that the game did not come on.

If Bungie gets it, why can't you?

Legally, it's questionable.
Morally, disgusting.
Personally, I like it.
