First, sorry if this is in the wrong forum or has been asked 534345 times before.

When going into matchmaking (various lists), sometimes the loading of the game cancels and returns the error message (or similar message to:)

"You are missing the necessary map" or "Failed to load map"

I can guess at the failed to load message. Lag or bad packets corrupted necessary info at just the right time. My question is..
Why does the missing map message appear? I have all of the maps. They are fine. They load just fine other times, which is why that error only pops up sporadically, not every time.

I just got that today. No idea why since I have all the maps. Simply signing out of XBL, shutting off the Xbox and restarting it again did the trick. Of course, my Xbox is old and I dont have a 360 yet, so I have a hard time even getting the Xbox to read any disc.

did you re-download the new maps after wednesday, or whenever the update happened?

Oh, I have a 360...I had the same problem on the original Xbox. I redownloaded the maps the day that they were available for re-download.

It's a sporadic problem that happens (apparently to several people) for months. It has nothing to do with the update or the new maps.
