How to Transfer Xbox Accounts for Call of Duty 4 Maps
Microsoft sells various kinds of digital content within the Xbox Live Marketplace, the online store for the Xbox 360 gaming console. In addition to movies and smaller stand alone games, the service also has add-ons for full retail games, such as additional maps for Call of Duty 4. All purchased content is attached to your Xbox account, called a Gamertag. This allows you to transfer your Gamertag to another console and download any previously purchased content to the new system.

Tips & Warnings
If you have an official Xbox 360 memory unit or USB jump drive formatted by an Xbox 360, you can store your Gamertag on either device. This way you can use your account on any Xbox 360 into which the device is plugged, and skip the step of recovering the Gamertag.
Your Gamertag cannot be active on more than one system at a time. If you wish to play again on the original system, you will have to recover your Gamertag again.
Be careful when purchasing content. Purchased content is tied to both your Gamertag and the system on which you purchased it. Any Gamertag can access maps and other content from the machine it was originally purchased on. Only the Gamertag of the purchaser, however, will be able to access the content on any other system.
