[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Elite prophet je This is completely unacceptable. What kind of organization genicides most of their fan base? If the maps were not ready to come out they shouldn't have. I for one think this is going to reflect on all their other projects. I took my reserve off of halo 3 along with my other 2 friends. If this is the kinds of things we can expect then halo3 is not going to be any better.[/quote] God, i love idiots. They're so easy to make fun of :D Elite Prophet je, maybe you should do some research before you -blam!- and moan? (excuse my language) Because, considering the fact that these two maps WERE NOT MADE BY BUNGIE, that you wouldn't let them affect your feelings towards Halo 3. Try and show some intelligence next time, huh? That's why Bungie's not responding... is because half of you lot sound like post-pubescent grammar rapists. Please, I urge you, if you want Bungie to listen to your problems, A) use PROPER grammar (none of this 'bc ne1 play maps yet?' stuff) B) Use proper etiquette C) be aware that you're not the only one with the problem, D) understand that Bungie has no responsibility to help you with your problem; and that they're just doing it out of their good will. The other half of you are showing proper etiquette however. I was one of the percentage that managed to download the maps without a problem, running on an original xbox with a prepaid Titanium Mastercard. Now, if you want immediate help, i suggest phoning the xbox hotline ( 1-800-4MY-XBOX ), however I am not sure if they can help you or not (I'm pretty sure that this problem falls on Bungie's jurisdiction and not the general Xbox Live crew). I'm sure they can at least provide some helpful suggestions however. As per the credit card problem, try deleting the credit card from your xbox or xbox 360 and completely re-entering it. And, make sure that it's valid to have a $4.00 charge put on it. If your map fails downloading, you should make sure that you have free bandwidth to download from--especially if you're running on slow connections like DSL. Both me and my friend run 5mbps cable connections, and we both have opposite versions of xbox/360. A major problem might be filesharing programs--they eat up bandwidth like it's nobody's business. Also make sure that your box has a nice connection to your home network, with no potential shorts in the Ethernet cable. If on wireless, make sure theres a strong signal between the router and your box. A good suggestion would be to make sure your box is in the same room as your wireless router. And, another good idea is to make sure you try and download it during the low points of the day, such as early in the morning or during the weekdays, when the servers aren't maxed out.
