Subject: Fixable?

On some levels on campain, and sometimes on live I get this weird shadow of something that is sometimes senery and sometimes just a blob. It happens on both my original Xbox and on my 360. Should I get a new disk?

That's some weird glitch that happens to most everyone. It never happened on my original Xbox and I thought it was an emulation problem but maybe I was wrong.

To my knowledge, the only way to temporarily get rid of it is to restart Halo 2 (go to the 360 dashboard, turn off the console, or eject).

Yeah, sorry, I just edited to add the "temporarily." What happens is it essential silhouettes a "screenshot" from a previous moment during your game and keeps it there. You may notice an elite or some other nameable entity there. But yeah, it happens on a random basis and mostly in campaign. I've gone hours without having one up and yet at other points, it starts ten minutes in.

Best solution: it's pretty easy to ignore once you start playing, otherwise just restart the game.

If i got a new disk would it go away completely?

We already covered that.

If i got a new disk would it go away completely? I do not believe so, no. I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the emulation technology... So I'm not quite sure why it gives it to you on the original Xbox.
