Can't Play Halo 3 on Xbox Live?

Yeah the Map Packs. Most of them are free though. Except for the Mythic Map Pack. You don't have to read all that I put, but the point is, you will need Microsoft Points to buy some of the maps off of Xbox Live Marketplace
Halo 3 Map Packs
Heroic Map Pack
Heroic Map Pack was the first downloadable content package for Halo 3. It was released on December 11, 2007, retailing at $10.00 (800 Microsoft Points). The pack was made free on March 25 2008, 6 months to the day after Halo 3's release, readying for the release of the Legendary Map Pack. The Pack's maps includes a large Soccer Ball, along with other shiny new items in Forge.
Heroic Map Pack added the following content to Halo 3:
New multiplayer map- Standoff
New multiplayer map- Rat's Nest
New multiplayer map- Foundry
Legendary Map Pack
Legendary Map Pack was the second downloadable content package for Halo 3. It was released on April 15, 2008, retailing at $10.00 (800 Microsoft Points). The pack's maps included Visual Effects filters, which alter the visuals of the game for Custom Games or Machinimas. The pack also included a free Bungie Pro subscription worth 700 Microsoft points. On July 7th, 2008, Bungie Day, the price was lowered in price to 600 Microsoft Points, but the Bungie Pro offer was gone.
Legendary Map Pack added the following content to Halo 3:
New multiplayer map- Avalanche
New multiplayer map- Blackout
New multiplayer map- Ghost Town
Cold Storage
This map was released on its own, on July 7, 2008, as a free download to commemorate Bungie Day. Unlike the gamerpics which were also available on that day, Cold Storage will remain available and free forever.
Cold Storage adds the following content to Halo 3:
New multiplayer map- Cold Storage
Mythic Map Pack
The third multiplayer map pack has six new maps (as shown in with the new achievements), and new Forge Objects. The title of the map pack was confirmed by Joseph Staten and Frank O'Connor at Comic Con 2008, and by the new achievements.
New multiplayer map- Orbital
New multiplayer map- Assembly
New multiplayer map- Longshore
New multiplayer map- Citadel
New multiplayer map- Sandbox
New multiplayer map- Heretic
The first half of the map pack, Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox, were packaged as downloadable content using one-time codes alongside the Limited Edition of Halo Wars, which was released on February 26, 27 and March 3 2009 depending on region. The second half of the map pack have been confirmed to be shipped alongside with the first half of the Mythic Map Pack, Cold Storage, Heroic Map Pack and Legendary Map Pack when Halo 3: ODST is released.
Each of these new unreleased multiplayer maps will also feature a hidden skull, probably like the original Campaign mode ones. This is noted by reading the descriptions for each of the new achievements named after the levels. Because of the exploration opportunities in Forge, the skulls were difficult to find on each map, as the skulls in Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox have shown.
