Halo 4 War Games Map Pass not working

Map pack help please!

I bought the Halo 4 War Games Map Pass and downloaded the map packs separately but I have not seen a single new map while in matchmaking.

Also, when I am waiting for a match there’s always a legend that reads “players do not have the recommended maps” on the bottom of the screen.

I’ve downloaded the maps twice and nothing happens…

It says to download the maps from the Halo 4 in-game live marketplace option; but the option is not there when I open the marketplace

I really need to know what to do… otherwise it’s money down the drain.

If you’re able to play the games offline/see them in your storage device, you do have them. The reason you are seeing that messaging and not seeing the maps is that all players need to have the map in order to play it.

Thank you, I will check on that later

I’m having this issue as well. I’ve even talked to Xbox Live support about it with no resolution besides speaking to 343 (which is what I would call this I suppose).
I’m always the only person in the room and I get this message. I’ve completely deleted all my H4 files and system cache, reinstalled updates, War Games, then downloaded all maps, but the message still comes up. And of course the maps never come up in MM. However, I am able to make a custom game and play on the new maps. Is there anything else to try out? Very frustrating…

What playlist are you seeing that message on?

All of them I believe. It’s definitely not just one. Team Slayer, Doubles, Big Team I know for sure. I think it even gives me that message when I’m focused on the “Find Game” menu (next to “Custom Game”) before going into MM.

Do you have Forge Island downloaded/installed by chance?

If not, this could be causing this issue.

That was the last one that I downloaded before I tried. But I’ll go back in and double check just to make sure. Seems really strange that not too many other people have had this issue. Can’t imagine why 0 of these new maps show up.

Yup, I have Forge Island, Crimson, Castle, and Majestic.

And you’re unable to play them offline as well?

I am able to play them offline.

It looks like the maps have started coming up into rotation even though I still get the message. So I suppose we can just call this resolved. Thanks for trying to help!
