Warning: Do not download the Xbox 360 Call of Duty 3 Valor map pack photo

There have been continuing issues with Call of Duty 3 on the 360 since its release (mostly having to do with trouble getting into ranked games), but now with the release of a new Valor map pack (800 points) there seems to be a new glitch in the matrix. Our own Johnny Wadd first turned us onto the issue:

Downloaded the new map pack for Call of Duty 3 (800 points) today and low and behold it doesn't work. Doesn't show up anywhere. Checked the xbox live forums and same result for several thousand angry people. This game has been nothing but a fiasco from it's rushed release by Activision's developer Treyarch

Major Nelson announced the pack, then updated on his site that there was indeed a problem and that Microsoft and the developer were aware. Here's the response from Microsoft:

Hey everyone,

We understand that there are problems with the Valor map pack once it is downloaded - we are working closely with Microsoft on this right now, and we will have the issue resolved as soon as we possibly can.  Please hold tight, and I will follow up with an update as soon as we're closer to a solution.

Thanks

There you have it. Until everything is in the clear, DO NOT download the new CoD 3 map pack -- unless you like wasting money, then do what you want.

See, that's why Microsoft's certification project needs to be stricter than it is. I'd wait until the Call of Duty 5: Duty Harder was released if it meant getting map packs for Call of Duty 3 that worked.

I'm not a big fan of the call of dukies anyway - call of duty 2 I played to show off my 360 that's about it

I never went online, probably my own fault, but that game nevver really raised a brow for me

If this game didn't let me blow up people in multiplayer with a tank I would have given up multi a long time ago.

Do they even test this stuff before they put it out any more?

Kinda breaks the point of having a console. If I wanted my games to break I'd be PC gaming. I hate the 'next-gen' online.

The game has always been a nightmare in terms of trying to join multiplayer matches.

At this point, it's best to wait a few days to make sure things are OK before you download. I'm not sure what's going on at Microsoft and why problems keep popping up. At least they recognize the issues and are trying to get to the bottom of it.

It seems like Treyarch really dropped the ball on this one(probably Activision as well). I hope Infinity Ward takes over on Call of Duty 4. All of the previous titles were great.
