I can't figure out how to link my gamertag.

I have a Hotmail account that isn't linked to any Gamertags that I can use, but I have no idea where to go. The "Link your gamertag" button takes me to a site where I see nothing but ways to sign up for Xbox Live, and whenever I try to edit my settings on my 360, it says it cannot connect to Xbox Live.

I wanted to download some maps and gametypes to my game, so I just created a new account and downloaded them, and it worked. Still, I would like to download these to the account I actually used, but I have no clue how to link it.

Help? I checked the sticky and it didn't really help me.

When you signed up for xbl you filled in some hotmail, sign in with that one here. After you´ve done that click the "link gamertag" next to your avatar in the top right corner. You will be re-directed to xbox.com and furthest down on that page is a "register" link. Follow that one and fill in the exact same thing as you filled in when you signed up for xbox live.

I've tried that.

I go to that site, I clicked both links on the side, and the both take me to account creation. I enter all of my info again, it tells me it is taken, and I try to sign in with my hotmail that I use to sign into this site, but it says it is the wrong address.

Yeah i just signed in the with an un-linked account to see what it looked like and it really does look like its a new account creation thing, i cant recall it looking like that when i linked my two accounts. I cant really try doing it either since i dont have an account that i need to link atm.

I wouldn't mind if I could figure out how to get downloaded maps from one account to another.

Are you talking about maps or map types. You cant share maps, each account has to download and pay for them. When it comes to map types and you just want to share them between two accounts which have eachother on their respective FL´s it should be possible to put the map types in the file share and take it from there.

What I'm referring to is gametypes and maps I download from free from this site.

Yeah then you better get linked up, it wouldnt have been a problem if it was from someone on your FL though. The forums are kind of dead at this hour so there might be some better replies later, perhaps from someone who has linked his/her tag recently and knows better. Well good luck.

It's fine, you helped me figure out to just put the stuff into File Share and transfer it.

Now DustFC has it all, thanks :D
