1. I get Disc Unreadable Error too often, considering the disc appears to be flawless.
2. On the Main Menu of the game, where it ought to read "CONTINUE SOLO GAME" it reverts back to "START SOLO GAME".
3. On the Main Menu under "CAMPAIGN", I can reload the 2 levels I have beaten so far. My last SAVE was after the checkpoint at the beginning of Level 3 (where Rookie is holding Capt. Dare's helmet in his hand), but Level 3 is not unlocked under Campaign. I am a Halo fan to be sure, but I am getting tired of replaying parts of the game I have already beaten... I wanna get on with the story!
4. Out of curiosity, I entered the Xbox360 Hard Drive (through dashboard > Settings > System Settings > Memory) and looked into the listing of Games, and THERE IS NO LISTING for Halo3: ODST. Looking under the Halo3 listing, THERE IS NO GAME DATA for Halo3: ODST there either.
5. I have earned 65G for 7 Achievements so far in Halo3: ODST... each time the game shows me progress, for example, that I have 3/5 for the "Eww Sticky" Achievement then the game either locks up (freezes) or goes Disc Unreadable on me, I lose the progress on said Achievement and must begin the count over again, at 1/5. That is also tiring.
6. Game Stop (the store where I pre-ordered & bought this game) is offering me to swap halo3: ODST for a different title, but THIS is the game I wanted, paid $65.09 for, and THIS is the game I wanna play. PLEASE BUNGIE, help us out here, we obviously need a patch.
P.S. My console is over 2 years old, is now considered an "Xbox360 Pro". I bought it about 2 weeks before Microsoft unvieled the black Elite model. My console has a 20GB HDD with over 7GB free. I have had it serviced once for E74 error (which yes, did render the entire unit unusable) but it works just fine on every other game I have ever played over the 2+ years of enjoying it, with the exception of a rarely occuring lockup (freeze). Halo3: ODST has locked it up more in the few hours of playing it than in the previous 2+ years history.
EDIT: After just reading the Question: Is Halo3: ODST "causing" Red Ring of Death errors, I must add this note too... The last time I tried to start Halo3: ODST my Xbox went into a fit, showing E68 on the screen with a bunch of text similar to when I got E74, and the lower right light flashed red. On rebooting the Xbox360, it started up fine, and I'm gonna go back to playing Gears of War 2 now. I'm considering returning Halo3: ODST to trade even up with another $65.09 valued game, but I really don't wanna do it!!
Again: PLEASE BUNGIE, help us out here, we obviously need a patch.
