you know what? perhaps bungie never got the chance to test their game with this new patch since they were released on the same day.


That is very likely, because it came after ODST launch. So that can be one of the reasons we all are wondering. But we don't know for sure but i'll say i'm very intrested finding out what the cause really was. Was it a bug, bad dvd's, dvd drives, HDD errors, wrong X360 models. I'm intrigued finding out.

HELLO BUNGIE!!! IS ANYONE THERE?!?!? PLEASE SAY SOMETHING YOU SORRY SACKS OF -Blam!-


I don't think these "hate messages" do any good. We all are pissed off and tired of waiting but let them do their job in peace. I've said before and i say it now: Believe.


sorry for the hate post i let my anger get to me... but im not entirely sorry cause we never got any indication from bungie themselves that their doing anything.

Actually that's false, one of the employees posted this on page 9.

Since different people can have slightly different issues, we want to get an idea of the various issues that people are seeing individually. For those of you having problems similar to this, please PM me the following:

1. A brief description of your specific problem and what you've tried to fix it. Please do not recap the thread.
2. Remove your hard drive and play through the same sections of ODST that are failing. Does that make a difference?
3. Put in Halo 3 and play through a the first few campaign missions (on easy, it'll go quick). Do you see the same behavior as in ODST, or does it function perfectly?

Edit: I'd like people to try playing Halo 3 now. For many people it's worked in the past, but the piece of information I'm looking for is does it work now.

An excellent point, and you know what? That tells about dedication and intrest in this game. We're all passionate about playing this game like the rest of happy gamers out there. I think we'll get some sort of happiness rush when all of us gets past all of those DRE problem scenes. Though i still after patch play rather carefully because being still afraid of that error :)

Why don't I see people with problems like this on other sites like gamefaqs and giantbomb? No one on there has had this and none of them even know what is going on. Do we all have broken Xboxs at the same time or something? This is the most confusing thing ever. Also my Xbox has done this disk unreadable thing before. I have installed Fight Night Round 4, NBA 2K9, Madden 10, and Halo 3 ODST all to my HDD. But with FNR 4 and NBA I installed it again and it worked but lately Madden is doing this more and ODST of course. Also Batman AA demo did this for me once and Battlefield 1943. But all of them would work after doing it again.

I cant play the Forza 3 or Brutal Legend demos either....That last patch MUST be the culprit!


Must be, it also goes to show that a disk read error is just simply the default screen that shows up when a game crashes.
We got Microshafted

  • 09.25.2009 4:50 PM PDT

So... the WWU is out and mentions nothing of the error... Sweet.

I'll be heading to back to CoD4 for now, thank you very much.

I have faith in them that this will be fixed in time.

Then i can only say to myself that i have faith. But if it's that long, i don't think that very good for anybody in this matter. It's up to everyone to make own opinion of course. But still, i've been Halo fan for years so that makes believing a little bit easier.

What The F____ dude, this thread is not about how to beat the game! its about how us less fortunate can ever have a chance to play the game.

Why has bungie not said anything about this, they had a whole weekly update and they didn't mention one of the biggest problems, not even a simple "Were working on it."
This officially pisses me off. All we got was a single post from Alpha test Ninja.

If they were going to fix anything in the game wouldn't they have said that they knew we were having problems? I haven't seen anything from bungie that says they're going to fix the lag/frame rate and stuff.

Amen to that :)

Ugh the inconsistency on this problem is infuriating. Now my Brutal Legend and Forza demo work, tried ODST and firefight works, but still no campaign

  • 09.25.2009 5:17 PM PDT

I called Xbox and the lady told me that Bungie and Microsoft know what is going on and I should get a call back in 24 hours.
