Ok guys, I messaged Ninja about this already, but here's what's happening with my older 20 GB Xbox and ODST:
My DRE happens right before the second flashback (After you pick up the beacon). And only one of my firefight maps does not work (I think it's Rally Point). It does the same thing in both single player and co-op. Removing the HDD has no effect. When I play Halo 3, I can't start a Solo Campaign from the first Main Menu, but I can select and play individual missions (Except for the very first cut scene "Arrival") which I thought was very strange. Also, the map Avalanche does not load in multiplayer. All I get is the DRE. But all the other maps load and run just fine.
After reading this thread for a while, I feel like the problem could be anywhere. Here's what we know: it's happening to both new and old Xbox's, so I don't think Xbox generation has anything to do with it. It can't JUST be the firmware updates otherwise removing the HDD would be a clear solution right? And for the most part, I doubt it is the discs themselves since anyone with a malfunctioning ODST can usually play it on another Box. Even the DRE is not consistent. Sure, it's the same error message, but it occurs randomly across the game to everyone. I'm really not sure what to think at this point. Other than maybe it's a combination of, well, everything. =(
I do find it very interesting that the problems jump games over to Halo 3 though. That makes my friends and I think it might have something to do with the way the games were actually written/ coded. But if that's true than we're all -blam!- out of luck. So let's hope it's not that...
