im having that problem with “crash”. keeps saying its unable to read disc, but only for that one map. all other new content works great. my disc is in perfect condition, and i have it installed to hd. it sucks, plz tell me if you find out anything.

Update: Installing to HDD did not work. Same error message. I’m not going to try to clean the disc extra-well.

Thanks. I’ve searched all over and only found one other problem like it that someone noted on the IW forums. It’s really quite odd because everything else on the disk works.

It has been the worst Map Pack launch ever hasn’t it ! Hope you get it fixed, since the maps are really quite good!

I’ve cleared cache and re-downloaded several times. I’ll try to install to HDD.

Maybe try clearing the memory cache under device options and re-download the update - or install the game to HDD and see if you get the same message. I haven’t had any problems with that.

I have downloaded the map pack and title update successfully. I still can’t play a new map though, either on LIVE or a private match. Every time it gets to the Map load screen, it says Game Error: Unable to Read Disc. It sure isn’t my disc, because I can do everything but access the new maps.

Anyone got anything on this?

They are bound to be reduced in price or be some deal of the week eventually!! I would be right pissed off though if these were 800 MS Points by next month!

9 MP maps plus 4 zombie maps.

This is 1200 points for three new maps… two are from the last game. If I wanted to play them I’d play COD4 again.

I’ve not had any problems in the last few hours - I really am pleased with the new maps, especially Bailout! Also the other 2 from CoD4 have better lighting in areas and I can see some improvements, they just appear brighter LOL!! Also very very weird to see MW2 Killstreaks on a CoD4 map!!!

For me who is a huge CoD fan, depserate for new maps - I hold my hand up & accept that I would probably pay anything for new content! But for casual CoD gamers who could pick it up, leave it, go back to it later - then yeah I think those people should stay away from what they consider over priced maps.

The price for this was set by Activision & Microsoft with no say from Infinity Ward - they just do as they’re told by Activision.

Unfortunately Infinity Ward are there to think about the gamers, but Activision & MS - it’s just business, business, business…share holders, share holders, share holders!

Also lets not forget that there are only two map packs planned for MW2, with the 2nd likely to have 5 maps also, so this works out at 2400 for 10 Multiplayer Maps over the life of the game. Now compare it to last years CoD which was 9 Multiplayer Maps for 2400.

MS will get this fixed and all will be good again. Not sure why there is so many problems as of late. I know there was staff cuts a while back maybe where seeing the results of that. Don’t know but I still like to play MW2 and the 15 dollar price shouldn’t be an issue for the time spent playing. Also since I’m the one who pay’s all the bills in my family I can tell you that everything has gone up in price latly. You can’t go by “Oh it was only this much last year” That just not the way the Free Market System works.

Pass, I figured there’d be a remake of the 2 ported maps, but they’re just repackaged. My brother is playing the new maps, but despite the shouting and ranting, I’m not at all incensed to spend 15 bucks.

Yeah, I’m glad I’m not buying these. Saved myself a lot of trouble.

I was able to run trough the new maps in a private match but not ranked.

Major Nelson just twittered: “Matchmaking is in a bad state on Xbox LIVE right now. We’re working on it and will resolve it as quickly as we can.”

Well, this is definitely a ballot by gamers saying, “Charge us more for less!” Good job.

I keep getting disconnected from Live when I try to download the update. Is that happening to everyone else too? Or are you getting other types of error messages?

What a greedy incompetent bunch at xboxlive & infinityward, so ready to make a dollar, then rush a updated map pack through only for it not function properly. Shame on you

“Just like Toyota sacrifice quality to make a dollar-and where did that get them”

I am getting prompted for the title update now - but says unable to download!! Also because of that it wont start the game at all to even let me play the other maps on disc!!

LAME! It’s a good thing I’m at work and not home trying to play. It better be fixed before I get home! I plan on playing for a few hours.
