just tried playing with only MU... No Go
just tried playing it after clearing cache... No Go

Posted a news article for the front page hoping to get some word on this from Bungie or Microsoft.

They are reading this, why can't we get some advice even if it not to play the game?

This is thier forum, we are having serious issues, why not at least reply and give some sort of news.

This is a great example of how not to do support and run a community.

When she does call you back, be sure to post.

I, too, would like to know that someone at Bungie (who actually works there) is actively trying to fix the game I paid $60 for. I know that collecting information is key to identifying the problem, and I'm glad that Test Ninja Alpha is doing so . . . but someone please tell us that there's a room full of smart people at Bungie who are, even now, working on the problem.

BTW, about a third of the time I get the RDE my 360 freezes up (after I get dumped back to the dashboard) and I have to power down manually.

Having the same problems as everyone else. Tried all of the listed suggestions to no avail. Had most luck with the hard drive removed... but that is a lousy solution since I can't play online or save my game...

Sent PM to the ninja... have they even acknowledged the problem yet? Given any word on a fix?

They could at least say "we are aware of the problem, we apologize for the inconvenience, we are working on a solution"

Would really like to play it... :(

Just give em time. They will fix it. They have to fix it. Do you know how much money they would lose if they didn't? Lol. They just need to do some research.

Some people reported they are now having trouble with their copies of Halo 3 (non ODST), which kinda makes it sound like a problem with one of the many system updates we go over the last year.

Does anyone know of a way to roll back some of the updates?

i pwn noobs

i hit my xbox with a hammer, stood on it. punched it in the disk tray, jumped on it, kicked it, threw it at a brick wall and kicked it again and it reads my odst and halo 3 disks just fine. i cant imagine what you could have done to make it not work for you

  • 09.24.2009 6:11 PM PDT

IM GODS CHILD BUT YEA I GOT DEVILISH GAME

If you rented it, you should definitely take it back and tell them its not working so that you're not getting charged for a game that doesnt work at the moment

if you roll back some of the updates . . . you cant connect to Live. You have to be current to connect.

I have the same problem and i am really pissed off. This is my third ODST and as soon as i got home and put the disc in and after the 2nd lvl was finished loading the "disc unreadable" screen pops up. All my other games work fine except ODST and it also both discs not just one. Bungie better do something because i was waiting on this game for a year so it doesnt work on my xbox, i dont knw why this is happening but a solution is needed now because i want to play this game already!!!

So I tried the boiling technique... and it got past the part where it has been crashing and it ended up just doing it at another load screen...

I don't know if I did it long enough or what but it didn't really work... sooo... ya...
