The other night I had been playing the game for about 2 hours on legendary and had gotten pretty far...but hadnt saved because I wasnt ready to quit yet. Well, thinking that no Bungie game could ever freeze up because they're so much more superior then any other game I didnt even think about it. As im jumping up to launch a rocket the game FREEZES UP!!!, thats 2 hours of game play without saving on LEGENDARY...for anyone whos played that they know its pretty damn hard. So to say the least im pretty damn pissed at bungie at the moment.

Nobody else that I know of has had problems with their copies of Halo 2 freezing . Maybe it's just your Xbox, because I bought my Xbox on day 1 and played it to death (it eventually fried) and bought a new one. But at the end, games would freeze, the "this disc may be dirty or damaged" popup frequently happened and sometimes it just turned off. If you are having problems with it, either use a dvd-drive cleaner on your xbox, reduce the amount that you play your xbox (I played at least 9 hours a day for three years), or just go out and buy a new one. And by the way, Halo 2 on legendary and Halo 1 on legendary is no difficult feat. My friend and I both seperately (on our own) beat Halo 1 on legendary in under 6 hours and Halo 2 under 9 hours. It's not that difficult, just play it more, learn new skills, become more aware of your surroundings and find new ways to do things. Best of luck.

It's probably your Xbox, and not the game. My old xbox got so full of dust and other -blam!-, that nearly every game froze.

My halo 2 freezes up, was doing it all the time, now just every now and then. First it was at the start of outskirts, once i got into the courtyard it would first cut out the sound, then freeze up completely. I managed to somehow get through it though, though it did freeze up today on the high charity level, the point where you go outside (to brutes, drones n jackals Vs the hunters and the elites) after killing the two hunters. both were on legendary. it sucks big time.
