This is the first map pack I'll ever have to pay for since I got into Halo 2 only a few months ago. My payment method is my credit card which is linked to my Xbox Live gamertag. Every time I try to download the maps, the transaction fails. Do I need my credit card on bungie.net or something?

No... you should try a new Credit card... or get one of those Visa gift cards...

I used a prepaid card. Earlier today I thought this may have been the problem. I guess it is.

So how do I get the maps?

Well my credit card is credit. I've got $500 credit and the transaction keeps failing.

My credit card is linked to my gamertag, but I bought a one year pre-paid subscription to Xbox Live with cash at Wal-Mart.

Dammit I wanna play Halo 2.

you got to go to Account Management on xbox 360 dashboard and click memberships or soethign like that .. just look around the acount managemet and youll find a place where you put in yoru credit card info... just put in your credit card info... after putting in all the info make sure your creditcard is sleceted... and just go d/l the maps!

Yup, I just did that and it works. I decided to scour the internet for solutions and I found that exact solution. Thanks for the response though.

I keep getting the "Installation of content failed" message. I've tried every fix I've found in here including deleting all my Halo2 files from my 360 and it still gives me the error. Microsoft is no help. Can someone please tell me what the best fix for this? Thanks!

"installation of content failed" you get this after purchase.............................
If you got the maps the first time for free even at no fault of your own. Your console is now banned from getting them. (remember its not the gamertag it is the console serial number when you bought them that gets this download) For over 2 weeks I`ve been telling xbox live cust servive this and they keep telling me they sent my problem to level 3?. Then these level 3 people close my case without telling me anything. They don`t seem to get it or care whats wrong here. So, I keep reopening the ticket again to a level 3 and I`m sure there just going to close it again. Since they seem unable to fix this problem. I`ve been told by a supervisor he`s going to replace my console when I don`t know. All I can say to everyone who still has this problem remember the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Call them every day 2 times a day if necessary. What they will try to do is get you off their phone lines. Dont fall for it.... Keep calling until they get bungie to remove the ban or they replace your consoles. They created this monster let them pay for it.

Tell everyone you know who has this problem the more the merrier and the faster they will fix this......................................................... .........

Hmmm... good idea. I spent two hours on the phone with Microshaft one day getting bounced back and forth between guys who could barely speak English. You can imagine my frustration when I accidentally hung up while switching phones because the first one was dying (doh!), but when I called back, I got an AMERICAN! This guy at least understood me and was easy to talk to. He was no more effective than the previous dudes, though. I called back the next day and even though I had my reference number, the guy wanted all my info again. Jeez! Why have the reference number if it's not going to have all the info I gave to four different people the previous day?!? Oh well... sorry to vent, but I figured I had a sympathetic ear. Thanks for the info about the console being banned. I never got the maps to begin with, but it does say that they've been purchased and this sounds like the problem.

My original problem was that i tried to download the maps and i could not. I added my credit card and purchased the maps but the maps did not download. When i kept pressing download over and over all that would happen is that the download bar will come up and it will pause for a moment and then go to 100%. Then it says contact xbox.com. So:

Solution: MY friend had his xbox360 and was able to download the maps. What we did was take out my hard drive and put it into his newer xbox360 and loaded up halo2. When halo 2 came up it said that i needed an update. I downloaded the update. After that i went to download the map and was able to successfully download the map.

Steps:
put your hard drive in a xbox 360 that was able to download the maps
load up halo 2 and an update will pop up
download the new maps
