MW3 DLC wont download

I recently purchased the map packs "Collection 2" and "Collection 3" for Call of duty modern warfare 3. I also redeemed a token for "Collection 1" that was included with my newly purchased copy of the game. All 3 of these were very small downloads,
unlock keys if you will that allow you to download the maps from the in game store. After I loaded the game and downloaded the title update I went to the in game store. There is an option to download all available maps and that is what i did. After hitting
confirm on the typical xbox checkout page, I was given error code 80153003. Many of the maps were put in my active downloads but they wouldn't download and had to be canceled. I followed all options given on the xbox support page about that error code including
clearing the cache, deleting marketplace data, restarting the system and deleting all files for the game and starting from scratch again.

I also tried only downloading one of the unlock keys and then trying to download only those maps, still got the same error code. All other aspects of xbox live are working for me including playing multiplayer, downloading files from my purchase history,
and purchasing new content and downloading files. It seems to be an issue with the in game store. After speaking with xbox chat support, they told me to contact activision. They were also unable to help me and basically told me to do what I had already
done. I also tried to download the files with my older xbox(arcade with HD) but still got the same error, so it has nothing to do with the equipment.

I have a feeling if I could have those maps put in purchase history then I would be able to download them no problem. I know Activision is closing down the elite service and the maps are all titled elite drops, so that maybe a problem. But if thats the
case then why were they on sale last week? Need real help!!

Yea I went through all of those steps, multiple times actually, and still get the same result. I cant imagine that it's the xbox either because I got the same error code when I tried it on both my 360s(Arcade and E). I tried several different orders to
how I tried after deleting everything. I should also note that I was able to download the 2 map packs that are free to everyone through the in game store, along with downloading the Collection 1, 2 and 3 unlock keys. It just wont let me get all the "Elite
drops" which is the actual content I paid for.

 

I am having the same thing happening to me. Ive been looking for solutions with no luck.

 

Trying to download modern warfare 3 collection 3: chaos pack.....

When downloading the maps it will appear that it downloaded 100% but then a message pops up can't download. I've have tried all the troubleshooting steps but no luck.

 

Same problem for past 2 days. Download anything and everything from XBL Marketplace just fine. Just the in-game MW3 Collection packs. Tried all their solutions, numerous times. Like the original post, I also got the free maps through Marketplace without
a problem.... I also tried deleting my Collection keys and redownloading them (even individually) and still get the error code. Also tried on my other system, same problem.

Even with the error code, it still populates the downloads to my Active Downloads. If I let them run (either in-game or out of game) they run up to 99%, then says 0%, then 98/99%, then 0%... repeat a few times and then it cancels the download.

Sounds like it's happening to lots of people in a short period of time and I search through forums here and outside of the xbox website.

 

As I continued to search, this may fall back on Activision. The Collection 1, 2, and 3 maps are called Elite Drops. As of Feb 28, 2014, they took Call of Duty Elite offline.

support.activision.com/.../Call-of-Duty-Elite-Shutdown-FAQ

 

You would hope they would have foreseen this, especially since they were part of the "Deal of the Week" til March 3rd. Considering how much money Activision and Microsoft make together on COD this should never be happening.

 

@op and everyone else for mw3 does your physical region match your account region? Us military bases use foreign isps so they don't count

 

Been in the same house in Texas for years, never messed with the region settings, never had a problem before

 

Same problem here I bought all 4 dlc tried everything still does same thing stops downloading/corrupted file.

 

On my second Activision support chat, I may have received the answer....

"I see. It seems that you may no longer be able to get the ELITE drops Steve since this was a limited offer before and as of this moment, ELITE premium is no longer available, though players that are still members for the premium will still be able to download
the contents."

As the support chat continued, I was told that I had to have Elite before it was removed on February 28 and as long as it was installed, the downloads for the maps would work. As for a refund, they told me I had to contact the 1st party provider (Xbox/ Microsoft).
Now comes the fight to get back the $22.50 I paid for the map packs (which was half off through March 3... after they deactivated Elite).

To put this in forum appropriate terms: What a bunch of equine defecation.

 

So does that mean, we paid for dlc we can never have?
