Thank you! It's nice to finally see a response after all this time. People don't like to be left in the dark like that, after all.

I really hope you can get our games working soon, because I'm jonesing, man.

I'm assuming you have no idea what's going on still?

Have you talked with MS about the possibility of faulty printing/a corrupted update that people downloaded?

Damn, beaten to it by the Bungie person.

Anyway, yeah, everyone, to help Bungie, please send a PM to either the person in page 9 or the other guy in page 40/41 and answer the 3 questions on the first post in page 1.

The sooner we help these people, the sooner we can play. AND WE NEED TO PLAY! It's like a drug.

I must admit, If I can get full credit for this game i'm tempted to take it back tomorrow. I was cool with waiting for a patch or something for the campaign, but now im getting the error on the mp disc. Idk whats goin, but it sucks. This game is fun, but we got bent over here.

I'm depressed more than mad. I'm on my third copy and still no dice. Also my original Halo 3 game no longer works after the first level, but I'm hopeful.

Oh stop it. From everything I've read, Bungie is hard at work figuring out the proglem. I understand that you are frustrated, as am I, but calling them is going to do nothing. They know of the problem, so just give them a chance to get it straightened out.

As for me:

1. A brief description of your specific problem and what you've tried to fix it. Please do not recap the thread.

I get the disc read error every time I attempt to load my game. I got it the first time right after watching the rookie pull the helmet out of the screen and the cutscene that follows.

2. Remove your hard drive and play through the same sections of ODST that are failing. Does that make a difference?

I'm not sure. I'll try that and update accordingly.

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?

Sorry, but I no longer own Halo 3. :(

I seem to have problem reading he Multiplayer disk in my Xbox. It seems to be reading extremely slow. There are video artifacts in the opening wmv movie with the Microsoft and Bungie logo and "blips" in the audio like a badly scratched DVD playing. I'm in the process of installing the disk to my hard drive, and in 30minutes, I am only at 25%. The background audio cuts in menus, and the menus are sluggish and not very responsive. My Xbox was manufactured April last year and using the benq/liteon drive to my knowledge. Even my badly scratched Halo 3 Limited Edition does not have this issue.

I'm quoting you only so people can see why you've been banned. We're not trying to cover up anything. If there are problems, not matter how small or widespread, we want to solve them. There's nothing in it for us to have players who can't play our game.

You've Private Messaged me with rude comments and now you're flaming other posters. Take a breather.

Anyone else who's having issues with either disc, please contact us using the information in the OP. Obviously, this isn't some kind of conspiracy to prevent people from playing our game.

As soon as we get information about what's going on, we'll relay it.

I feel your pain, though I'm playing fine. Bless this mess!

  • 09.26.2009 12:17 AM PDT

people are retarded. Thank you Urk, we don't need people like that messing up the forums. Thank you for keeping us posted, we know you are trying to solve the problem.

  • 09.26.2009 12:19 AM PDT

Cannot play Halo 3 at all anymore. Although my multiplayer for ODST works fine. So it is definitely a software issue. My guess is that Bungie servers and/or people's older x-box's hard drive are getting confused with two versions of Halo 3. I'm hoping it's that simple. I did however play the game for a while and it crashed after I completed Data Hive. Also, I just attempted to play a game of Battlefield 1943 and it crashed after about a minute. That too has never happened. Good Luck. I await a solution quite impatiently.

Interesting..I tried a game of battlefield after i read this and no problems there. Then I downloaded a demo and my xbox froze like it has all night on the mythic mp disc...I wonder if this is related, since my xbox hasnt froze ever till now.

i think today is the day i return this game and have a big arguement with the sales rep at Game. I can see these sellers saying no refund even though I am sure thet are aware of the problem with this title. Fight night 4 is goin back aswell. I cannot stand it when things like this happen. Making me lose faith in games consoles. Looks like it is back to PC gaming once my Live subs runs out.

  • 09.26.2009 1:23 AM PDT

I told you guys that Bungie informs us of anything new. We just have to keep believing. Sounds frustrating but let's be patient. Bungie haven't forgotten or ignored us.

WOW just WOW I never even knew about that jerk until now and to be PM'ed by him is pure harassment but some people are natural jerks. Oh and why of why would there be a conspiracy to prevent people from playing a game it seems counter intuitive when developers are trying to make money as well as create a great game.

This is what I plan on doing though returning my ODST game for my full $60 back and put that towards the Modern Warfare 2 console mainly in part for the 250GB hard drive I'm running kinda low right now on 4.0 GB left and for new games and DLC's that just won't cut it. Then rent ODST and if it doesn't work on that system then there is something wrong with the disc's itself .

Pretty sad though I Really liked that game but as of right now all its doing is collecting dust and funny thing, before the second disc worked now its not.

On a side note my friend TKSuperman who has been helping me nonstop of which I am all too grateful for, HIS ODST has suddenly stopped working now and gave him the same problems.

I'm also relieved to hear someone is working on the issue at hand and hope that they end up resolving the problem.
