I'll take that back again. It worked for one mission of Firefight. If I try to play anything other than CRATER it doesn't work.

Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

All i can suggest is try another game or purchase another copy. Though i have heard frequent cases of this oucuring on ODST its a shame and i hope you get to play it proparly soon.

I would like to say Heretic worked for me when I tried it 30 minutes ago. I couldnt play on it before. I got the skull and everything, but Citadel was a no go. Weird stuff.

Disc 2 works fine for me so far. Just most of Disc 1 that is the problem here.

same here its just this campaign firefight seems to be working fine hey maybe theres a bug in the campaign

  • 09.26.2009 12:26 PM PDT

A lot of people are having problems with both. It is weird man. Also I don't want another game as this is the only game I want other than Mass Effect 2 and The Ballad of -blam!- Tony DLC. So I can wait till this is all sorted out.

Gt:Jordan the hobo

Iv gotten 3 discs and It still freezes int he exact same spot every time on kizingo blvd, just as u meet up with dutch?

  • 09.26.2009 12:49 PM PDT

So, i have the same problem and plz tell us a solution

  • 09.26.2009 12:55 PM PDT

i have a had a similar problem but at a different spot. on the fifth mission wen u fall back into the ONI building and defend the two paths with a turret, near the end of tht little battle the game freezes but my xbox still functions. i traded discs with my friend who hasnt had any problems with it and the game froze at the exact samwe point. my xbox however is not frozen because i can still talk to people while the game itself is frozen. at one point i had the disc unreadable message but i only experienced that once. is anyone else having this problem?

  • 09.26.2009 12:56 PM PDT

No one has a sure fire solution as of yet.

We're still waiting on Bungie's solution. They're probably gathering data from the game or Microsoft or whatever game developers do when something craps up, so it'll be some time before we get a permanent solution.

i knw but i think we would all like to knw if theyre a little sure wot it is like a daily update on a fix would be nice

The controller connect thing didn't work for me either. Another weird thing is Brutal Legend demo works, but the Forza demo won't work and gives me a DRE error....How the hell can something that is downloaded specifically onto my console have a DISC read error?

If you go back to page 40, they said that they don't have any concrete evidence of our problem. All they're going by is our word right now. As soon as they see what went wrong, they'll come back and inform us.

Just be patient.

PS, for anyone who doesn't know the specific issue that is plaguing us (any newcomers to the issue, people who are curious, flamebait, whatever), there is a video that shows exactly what we're talking about:

For Halo 1, that's on PC.

Halo 2 works fine, although that stupid shadow thing covering up my screen time to time kinda annoys me (backwards compatibility). When I played it on the original XBOX, it worked fine.

Halo 3 worked fine for me about a year ago (I traded it due to other stuff going on), but people that are playing it now who are experiencing DRE with ODST are also experiencing it in Halo 3.

Halo 3 ODST, you know by now.

The majority of discs that are broken are for the Campaign disc, but it seems that most of everybody's multiplayer disc is running fine.

  • 09.26.2009 1:22 PM PDT

I'm in the same situation, Bought the game at launch got disc read errors during the load screen for Bucks level, i could sometimes managed to load and play onwards but the certain sound effects would stop then DRE again. tried to install to hdd and it still did the same :/ cleared cache, removed hdd, deleted save and hdd install...no change. Thought it was the disc, so i got it replaced the next day...no change so i blamed it on the 360. Im now borrowing my friends arcade 360 and i've managed to play through most of the game but then i get another DRE and another and thanks to the checkpoint system i have to redo the entire levels....sigh

My mp disc was running fine til last night, it started freezing and i got 1 disc unreadable. A demo froze on me twice too. Im gonna try some other games today, but im starting to think maybe its a firmware update issue with some consoles.

  • 09.26.2009 1:28 PM PDT

No multiplayer is having problems too. Not for everyone but to a nice amount as well. Also when I went to my GameStop and got a new copy the guy instantly said to me it is not the disc and he couldnt do anything. He was referring to the multiplayer disc.
