Everyone I just singed and was forced to get a update any one know what it is ?

  • 07.12.2007 4:18 PM PDT

I too had to download the update, unfortunately I don't know why.

Sleep is for babies. Gamers play all night. -fourzerotwo

The update had nothing to do with halo, it was an xbox live update. New games were added to the backwards compatible list for the xbox 360

So I am locked out of HALO because they want to put some new crap on my 360? I can't play because they want to load my 360 with crap I don't want and will never play?

Anybody else see a huge problem with this? Why am I not being allowed to access the system THAT I PAY FOR???? Why am I being blocked from WHAT I PAY FOR just so that MS can load some self serving BS onto MY unit that I PAID FOR? That unit that BELONGS TO ME, NOT MICROSOFT?

just update and quit your whining. you can play halo all day long without the update if you want, by yourself.

ya i keep gettin this update thing and ive done about 20 of them and they still keep popping up, anyone else gettin this?

Skidd, same thing happened to me. There's two thinsg that might work. Go to your dashboard, and then restart the game. (Don't turn the console off, just pop to the dash, then back to Halo) and try the update, OR play another game and then come back a few minutes later and pop halo in. It worked for me.

I updated successfully, but now I'm seeing transparent images on the screen, and one of them looks like a picture of some sort, a lot like a brute. Some one try doing "Uprising" on Heroic (I first saw this one during second part of that level), and see if anything appears on your screen (it's varying shades of gray and mostly transparent). I first saw a shape in "Quarantine Zone", but it was different then the image I see now. I have never noticed it before the update, either.

It's not my TV, because when I'm doing anything else, it's not there.

Those who deny my word, get left in the gutter

mine is too- i am seeing a gray and white image in the backround- it goes away if i restart to the menu, but it will come back. it is really annoying especially when looking at a bright area and see a shadow in your screen. the interesting part is it started happening after the update.


ps. it is not my tv either, already checked.

  • 07.12.2007 8:21 PM PDT

That is just a watermark of somesort, it happens. It has nothing to do with the update, and is more likely to appear on 360s. To get rid of it simply restart your xbox after the match. Or, you may be able to remove it by jumping off the edge and looking up.

it's just something that happens on 360's, you do have one right? it's just a bit of the screen in transparent white and grey thats frozen there from earlier in campaign and mm

Actually, it happens on both Xboxs and 360s. And it dosn't necessarily come from campaign or MM. I try to depict some of the images on my friends 360, which has never played campaign. It appears to be an Elite in a pose, definately not from MM. The only other place I think they may of come from is the opening sequence to Halo 2.
