I can't even add Microsoft points in the first place to get the maps. I just bought 40000 for about $50 and I can't even add them because I keep getting an error message! I tried about a hundred times on my 360 and on the Xbox web site. I want to play the maps, what is the deal with not being able to add points?! I even tried to add other stuff like free UNO and Robotron 2084 that came with my 12 month Xbox LIve box. I can't add ANYTHING! HELP!!!!!

Yeah the maps should be free, i know it's not Bungie's fault, but thats kind of unfair to promote it and make us pay or tell us that we have wait for a few months or so to get our hands on it for free. I've already paid for the Xbox: $600 AUD, Halo 3: $120 AUD and a Gold Xbox Live Membership: $85 AUD at a grand total of $805 AUD. Its not like I havent spent enough on these things only to be told I have to pay $12 AUD more for 3 Maps. I have played the maps, they are really good though. Can't wait until they are free.

ratsnest is the best and can some one tell me where the sparten laser is in standoff?

  • 12.12.2007 2:44 AM PDT

good job on the maps Bungie...i thought all 3 were really good, with each having its' own unique playing style. at this point, i think standoff is my fav, then foundry, and then rat's nest.

now it's time for a classic map pack release, hang'em, chill out, damnation and prisoner. please don't change anything but the death spawns.

"And when I vest my flashing sword And my hand takes hold in judgment I will take vengeance upon mine enemies And I will repay those who hase me O Lord, raise me to Thy right hand And count me among Thy saints ."

Frankie, I just wanted to say that Standoff is the map I have been dreaming of!!! Thank you so much for NOT putting a sniper on the level! That was the best choice you have ever made!

BTW: Totally off topic but I have a bet going on with some friends of mine as to whether or not the bugie crew are fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles??? Just curious if you would help us settle the debate? :p

If you are, check it out!!

False Statement.
These Rule bungie. Thanks for the really fast paced gameplay on foundry.
The Forged gameplay is also amazing.
Thanks for the balls (soccer)'
Maybe some bungie made infection maps on Rats nest.
I'd be a happy camper.
Thanks again.
Good work, keep it up.

Dear Bungie,

I have just purchased the heroic map pack from the Xbox LIVE marketplace. When the download was completed and when I started Halo 3, the maps did not appear in custom games or forge and I could not start the Heroic DLC matchmaking playlist. I have tried switching off and on my Xbox a couple of times and it still did not appear. I have also tried downloading it again for like 10 times and it still won't load. I have also save it to my hard drive which has 7+ GB left. I believe that I am not the only one with this problem. Please help me!

Thank You,

Joshua

I downloaded the maps and can see it in MM, but it won't let me play - maybe because they didn't load? So, I went to the FAQ for this thread/topic and saw this in there.

Q: I downloaded the maps and when I try to play one in matchmaking or Customs, I get a failed to load error.

A: Try loading the new maps on your own box as a Custom game with no other players. Once each has loaded once, this shouldn’t happen again.

I am going to try that - but maybe it will help you if you haven't had success yet.

P.S. I hope if this is a prominent bug that there is a fix put out for it.

I'm an Indonesian Halo (and other games) gamer!
Bhineka Tunggal Ika!!

Yes. Will that CD coming out? If it coming out, when? And will Asia country's get those CD too? Especially Indonesia, because I'm Indonesian.
Sorry if my grammar's bad. I'm just an ordinary Indonesian, sucks at English....

When are these maps gonna be available on ranked matches??

  • 12.17.2007 10:47 AM PDT

I know there have been a lot of replies in this thread, but I have too much of a headache to go thru them all right now. Basically, is there any fix for the green screen appearing whenever Halo 3 starts up? Eventually you can press A at the green screen and it goes to the main menu (this only happened since downloading the maps). I've also heard somebody say they had campaign issues, but I haven't tried campaign since downloading the map pack. Anyone please message me with a fix for this.

edit: ok i read the faq about maps not appearing (hopefully to be addressed in a future patch), but nothing on the green screen?
