Ignore static, he's still just cranky that Iggwilv beat him in FFA slayer the other week.
Consider buying a CD scratch remover kit, available pretty much wherever anything is sold, anywhere. If your problem is really due to a mangled disc, this might be a low cost solution to get you back up and running. Also, if you've got your own key, see if any of your friends have HaloPC that will lend you their disc so you can install it.
