I just went ahead and tried to see if Halo 3 campaign had these issues and it did not. My second disc for Halo 3 mp works just fine as well. Still the same issues are occurring with ODST. Can't even load into the first level. RAWR!!! Guys please do not boil your discs...that sounds sad...

I have an update on my own situation(details back a couple of pages, like page 15 I think). Both discs worked perfectly when I wasn't using the HDD, even loaded faster. Theorizing that the problem is isloated only in the HDD, I went and bought a used memory unit from Gamestop. Haven't had any problems with it thus far. at least now I can play the game during the weekend. However I'm still waiting for an actual solution that will NOT involve me having to format my HDD. I have too much irreplacible data on there that I can't move anywhere else.

Anyone who's having problem with either disc and hasn't tried removing their HDD, give it a try and see if that works. The sooner Bungie isloates the problem the sooner we'll get a fix.

... Could this be the reason for all the disc errors?

Boiling discs? We need to be clear: This is not actually a bad disc problem.

I went through three different brand new discs -- every time the game exhibited the exact same problems in the exact same places -- every time it failed at the exact same point... whether playing directly from the disc or from the hard drive. Those same discs work fine in other people's Xboxes.

Obviously, for some people, the problem is merely a bad disc -- and the solution is to get a new working disc. But that's not the problem we're talking about in this thread. The problem we are having is not fixed by replacing the disc... or through any other method we have tried (deleting saves, clearing cache, etc.) So at this point, we are waiting for some official word from Bungie or Microsoft.

(It seems like the "disc unreadable" error message is just a generic default message that the Xbox throws when it crashes under certain circumstances, eh?)

I went back to Gamestop and got another disc and a one year warranty. Gonna try to see if it was my first disc or something else.

Yeah, I tried playing without the HDD. It got me past the drop, but I still got the error later when I pulled out the helmet.

Multiple people (including me) already tried exchanging the disk for a new one. I have yet to see a success story on that.

Installing to HD seems to have helped a few (very few) people.

I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but sometimes after reinstalling the game I get to advance further with no error. Then at some point the sound cuts out. I select "Save and Quit" which then brings back the lovely "Disc unreadable" message.

Nope, still didn't work. Got that damn error again. This is irritating me, and also, my refund was void, so I'm here for the long haul. :(

have any of u gusy experienced the error message while playing halo 3 multiplayer on the original halo 3 disc? i have.

  • 09.24.2009 7:24 PM PDT

He watches every Hodgetwin video they put up...on ALL their channels. He calls them the Hodge Triplets, and considers himself the 3rd triplet. He's started talking and acting like them now. Every other line out of his mouth "Thaaas some BULLLLLL**** maaayne" or "Gotta make dem gainzzzz". He calls his biceps "gains". When he eats post-workout, he talks to his biceps, "Don't worry gains, I'm feeding you. Daddys gonna feed you, gainz *kisses biceps*".

Gah. I want to finish this dang game.

I have gotten many disc read errors on various games, and have had to send in my 360 once over it quite some time ago. But this disc read error is clearly is not an ordinary problem if y'all are having it, too. I turned in the disc and got a new one for free, but it's the same dang problem.

I had to go through the disc recall with Halo 3, and now this? :(

  • 09.24.2009 7:30 PM PDT

I wish all of you the best of luck with this problem. I'm getting my disc either friday or saturday (amazon shipping takes forever) and I pray that nothing is wrong with it. Once again good luck.

Have you also gotten these errors from the Halo 3 campaign as well? Some people are getting the error from that as well.

I'm getting errors from the multiplayer disc from ODST, and I get the same error after a game or two.
