This will only work for those who have been able to download the free maps AND have got as far as PURCHASE/DONT PURCHASE while attempting to download the Blastacular map pack only to see the orange bar pause and then fill and be told that your purchase hasn't been charged:
I followed this advice I found elsewhere in these forums.

1) Log onto Live using your profile,
2) Access the Account Management section via your profile on your 360 dashboard,
3) Access Memberships - the top selection,
4) Access XBOX LIVE PRE PAID...,
5) Change the payment options to a credit or debit card - create new if needed,
6) Back to Halo 2 and follow the wearysome steps back to the Blastacular map download and PRESTO it should now download ok!

The problem I had was that although I had regestered a credit card I'd paid for my Live Gold Membership using one of those coupon things and so my card was only registered for Microsoft bloody points!

If the above doesn't work you might try deleting your Gamer Profile off your 360 and then Recover it. (I'd just done this before I did steps 1 to 6 above.) BE AWARE THAT YOU WILL PROBABLY LOSE GAME SAVE INFO IF YOU DO THIS.

Hope this works for all you frustrated Halo 2 players out there. As I say it worked for me and I'd been trying for over a week to download those damn maps.

Good Luck.
