When playing Halo 2 special edition on my Xbox 360, I have come across a few visual glitches on certain levels where some areas of the screen will appear slightly brighter, most usually in the outline of a landscape or tree. This will disappear as soon as I enter a building, however.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, or does anyone have anyone have any suggestions as to what I might do to make this glitch go away?

This glitch appears every single time I play that level, regardless of whether I restart my Xbox 360 or not.

I had a similar problem in campaign a couple weeks ago. My screen will all of a sudden have a dark "splotch" on it. Almost as if somebody didn't dust the TV screen right. Hopefully its just the game disk.

Yeah, my disc has a few scratches on it, so I'm hoping that's it.

those that are having the "Image Ghost" problem, i would like to do some q/a...

1. What definition is your T.V.?
2. Is your XBox 360 at a "Comfortable" level?
3. Is there any scratches on your Halo 2 Disk, and how severe are the scratches?

I think all that this is, is an IMAGE GHOST, or a pixelized area on your screen where an image used to be.

The 'special edition' game is the same as all the others, only the packaging was different, just a heads up.

And yes, absolutely everyone has this glitch at least once when playing H2 campaign on 360.

I always seem to get the ghost image when I'm playing as the Arbiter and have to "get revenge" on the brutes, I forget the name of that level. The other day the image was an outline of grunts and other mysterious objects. It's becoming really annoying. The ghost image always goes away when theres a cut scene though. It's hopefully just the game disc. Its seen a lot of use for almost 3 years now. Guess I'll just have to wait for Halo 3!!!

It's not the game disc. The ghost image is an issue with the emulator. The only thing you can do is wait until Microsoft releases an update to fix the bug in the emulator.

I live in Japan and am using a brand new Japanese version of Halo 2 (from the Halo History Pack) on my Japanese 360. This same issue happens with me on certain levels.

first:ignore this pic. my 360 broke and i cant change my profile pic till microsoft sends my new 360.
second:I had this "ghost image" problem a lot. it got so bad i couldn't load ANYTHING without having this appear. and then my disc finally reached the point when it took more then 5 minutes to load a multiplayer map and i could never load something for campaign. so i got new disc. it doesnt happen as much anymore or not at all becuz of the lil campaign i played before my 360 keeled over i never had a problem. well except for how easy herioc is. but yeah its just some loading glitch. usually its the opening image and it doesn't go away when you go in a building. just it only appears over far away objects like the sky, but walls are simply to close. my advice is to dealwith it. you aren't alone. im sure there are plenty of ppl with this problem so just jump off a ledge and it will go away (water works too, i.e. headlong)
