It looks like there are some problems with the Call of Duty 3 Valor map pack released earlier today. We have numerous readers reporting that once the maps are downloaded, they are not recognized on the 360 or within Call of Duty 3. It's reported that MS Points are debited when this happens, so prospective buyers may want to wait until Microsoft and Treyarch come up with a fix. Major Nelson advises that you keep an eye on this Xbox.com forum post for updates. If anyone hears anything, be sure and let us know.

I just don't get it.... Doesn't Microsoft have to "certify" this stuff before we see it? That's why were not getting the Crackdown demo today, right? They should of just released it anyway. Who cares if it doesn't work. At least it's free!!!
I understand you can't kill every bug in testing but YOU WOULD THINK THAT GETTING THE CONTENT TO THE USER would be on top of the to-do list for the crackpot certification team.
It's an Xbox360, and you know what? They are all the same!!! How do you screw this up???

Big surprise that Treyarch messed it up. Look at the patch they released that still only lets you play ranked multiplayer 50% of the time.

I purchased these new maps just before heading off to work this morning so they would be ready when I get home. I'll be pissed if there is something wrong. And my wife will be even more mad if I spent the $$$ on those MS points just to get screwed. Here's hoping!

You would be stupid to buy these maps. Seeing as they ruined CoD3!

Well folks... it has been a crazy and hectic day, and we are continuing to work towards a solution through the night. We've made some progress through cooperation with Microsoft. We had hoped to resolve the technical issues with the map pack by the end of the day today, but it looks like that will not happen.
We do know that the package posted to Marketplace this morning is not valid and will not work with the game, so deleting the old file through the system blade of the dashboard will at least put users a step ahead when the new package goes live.
update
I realize that this is disappointing news - I assure you that we are doing everything that we can to resolve this as soon as possible. Please hang with us as we work through this, and stay tuned for further updates.
