Got an error trying to play halo 2 in either optimatch mode or quickmatch mode. Says "You are missing a map required by this playlist. It may be available for download." So I go to Content Download and look for the new map. Eeek, $4, that is total crap. Yes, I have read all the posts and news tidbits about the maps... So I decided, the hell with it, it is only $4, so I tried downloading it. Low and behold, an error! "Purchase failed. You will not be charged for this transaction. Please try again later." What the hello man? I have tried downloading this map about a dozen times since then, the most recent being about 2 minutes before I wrote this post, what the hell, I'll try again right now. Nope, error. So, not only can I not play optimatch or quickmatch games on xbox live because I dont have the latest maps, I also can't get the latest maps. What is wrong with this picture?Depending on whether or not you have a Xbox or Xbox 360, there are various issues you may encounter. A suggestion if you obtain a Xbox 360 console would be to access your hard drive and delete only the "Blastacular" map pack and then go to the content download to try again.
As a notice the maps are supposedly going to become free to purchase, which will therefore illuminate a majority of credit card issues regarding the whole map pack issue. If you wish to seek further assistance, contact the Xbox Live Technical Support Team here.
