hey was up guys! I was playing Campaign on my 360 today to kill time until the 25th and while i was playing i saw what you would think was an image burned on the screen but my tv was not left on to burn the image. then again just a few minutes ago I noticed an outline of the Arbiter on my tv but this time on the left instead of the center like the last image.

It looks cool, but its a little confusing and i was wondering if anyone else had this or was it just me? have i found the halo version of jesus's face in toast?

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

Don't bump your own thread.

It happens sometimes, you can either restart your 360 or wait for it to go away by itself.

it cant be a burned image like your computer would do without a screen saver. we have been playing split screen and it lines up perfectly below and above the split line....... and the figure is posed in a cool looking pose.

someone? anyone know? what is this?

If it's kind of a white looking image it will go away. It happens from time to time, you're fine.

Everyone! Gather round my genitals!

Its a problem with the emulator or something. And hes right, just turn of your 360, wait a few seconds, and start again.

I'm glad someone else is seeing this ;) This does happen, and I haven't yet figured out the rhyme or reason behind when and why. It seems like at random points, it's as though the game takes a freeze-frame of your view and overlays it in a light grey over the entire screen. Sometimes it's stayed on until the end of the level for me, and then been gone when the next level loads. Other times it's seemed to go away once I entered an interior area in a map.

Either way, it's a bit obnoxious, and can be made moreso depending on what was on your screen at the time it took this frozen image. If it's just world geometry you can kind of block it out. The other night it got two Hunters though, and their retained-spikyness was very distracting.

It happens when you play it on the 360.
