First off let me be the first to say that I love halo and its one of the top games out there if not the top. But this matchmaking update has made so many uncessary problems. The system was running fine and there was no need to change anything. Yea the new maps idea was nice but if it was going to cause this many problems then they should have never been able to be released in the first place. I'm sure people can wait 6 months for Halo 3 to come out than trying to get new maps. It was a deffanitly uncessary move that caused so many problems. Now I'm sure there are people out there that disagree with me but thats your point and this is mine. Yes there was an upside to the update but so far all I am seeing are the downs. I still love halo but this update is only fustrating.

My problem is that before the rank reset I had the maps and everything. Everything was fine. I bought the maps the day they were released and downloaded no problem. Last night was the rank reset and I logged on today after school to play halo excited as a little boy on Christmas and to much disbelief I found out that I did not have the maps and was required to redownload them. After many (about 30 attempts) of re-downloading every single map possible I am still unable to play matchmaking. When I go to download the Blastacular pack it won't even let me download it saying download failed even though I had them before. I still am able to load the maps during custom games but unable to get into matchmaking. I know this may sound confusing but does anyone have any solutions? Thanks

I have the same problem. "Purchased Failed". I tried and retried for over an hour and still doesn't work. Soulutions/explanations would be nice. All my cc information is correct, so i don't know why this is happening.

I haven't had this problem, so I can't vouch for this, but try deleting the original map files before you DL the new ones. I saw that a few people fixed their problem by doing that.

Actually. i think that bungie and microsoft are purposely screwing with halo 2 so that when halo 3 comes out all these people, who havent played since they screwed the game up, will be craving a halo to play. and all they think all those people are gonna rush out and buy halo 3. ITS A DANG MARKETING PLOY!!! THATS A SHAME!

Whatever the plan may be it sucks!!! The whole system was fine!!! No need to go thru all this mess just for 2 maps when Halo 3 comes out in 6 freaking months. Yes the new maps idea was exciting and good for all of us but if it was going to cause a complete mess and overhaul like this then it was a complete waste of time and money. I pay for XBL to play Halo 2 matchmaking but instead the days of my membership are counting down and I can't even play some matchmaking because of bungie's inconsiderate and selfish ways. They really should have thought this through and someone had to notice that there were gonna be these many problems and say it's really not neccesary. Yes like I said before the new maps/rank reset was a good idea but all I am seeing are the downsides to this whole new update. It's really dissapointing.
