Can't Download Halo 4's Crimson Map Pack? Here's What You Do.

Do you have the Limited Edition of Halo 4 or perhaps you’ve purchased the game’s map pass? If you have either of these you may also have had trouble downloading the new Crimson map pack that released just yesterday.

Today I popped in my copy of Halo 4 to download the pack but was greeted with the request to pay additional Microsoft monies for what should be a free download since I’ve already redeemed my Limited Edition codes. If you’re struggling with a similar issue, there’s fortunately a simple solution.

Reboot your 360. And be sure to navigate the in-game Xbox Live Marketplace for your content, not from the 360’s dashboard.

Relevant side note: some commenters on this Joystiq article reported that they were able to download the map pack for free regardless of what edition or pass they’d purchased. My guess is that 343’s solution to the Limited Edition/Map Pass owners’ issue—namely, creating a second download option for free for these users—was the cause for the unanticipated bonus for the standard edition players.
