    I got MS points the other day to download new maps on COD5. When i started to download the maps it came back with a error, The new maps size are 430mb so it would take at least around 20mins to download this.I tried on numerous occasions to get a game going on new maps to no avail. it says that maps are already downloaded when i select them again. And it has taken the 800 points. Should i be able to locate downloaded maps on my xbox?

    Anyone else have this issue?

    Regards,
    Rob

    You go into the game and it wont ask for to download them. Try playing a death match on the map pack area. Another thing. What do ppl buy with these points? Have few points 1850 and dont know what to d/l. Dont wanna get just anything. Have the map pack for cod5 and dont want films i can get on sky anyway.

    If it didn't download properly for you you could try your download history on the console (account settings) and select download again, or check it online and try to queue it up again. (It won't charge you again if it has already taken the points, because you have already bought it).
