That's strange, firefight seems to be working now, but not the campaign. Although, I'm sure as soon as I leave the game, it'll give me the error again.

From that article, it looks like Microsoft is planning on making this as publicly small as they can make it, then brush it under the rug and never speak of it again.

I can say this now; This isn't Bungie's fault, It's Microsoft's. And they're gonna downplay this so much, that either we give up and buy a new 360, or we end up not caring anymore and either getting a refund or trade back.

I hate Microsoft. My Xbox started acting up a month ago. I went on the site, did the steps, no solution, so e-mail then, got the e-mail from their website, where else. They then get back to me with all the things that were on the site, I say that I have done all those. Get another saying I'll have to send it of for repair, I ask if this will cost anything because it was repaired under a year ago, and I told them that it couldn't be fair to charge me when they 'fixed' it under a year ago, all they tell me is they know how frustrating it is. I then e-mailed about this problem, they e-mailed me back with the steps, told them in the reply that I didn't want to get any of the website crap, and that I didn't want to heat about disc replacement and I knew I wasn't the only one with the problem and that I wanted an update on what they were doing, their response "Try another disc" and I said that I tried that and I wanted an update and what I got back that time was the website steps!!!!! What the hell!!!!! I hate them!!!! I have never owned a PC always a mac, pissed me of to hear Microsoft bought Bungie, I have a macbook, the only issue I have had with it, it go stolen!, and I sat on the replacement. My girlfriends father works for Sony tech support, would much rather have got in touch with him than some stupid woman who barely speaks english!!!! One of the major problems with Microsoft support is that you never get the same person!!

"We are looking into it but at this point it doesn't appear to be a widespread issue."

Sounds a little too close to the lines of:
"We are looking into it but at this point it doesn't appear to be a widespread issue, so is not of our concern."

Dont make that true guys, time to earn some brownie points with your valued customers. :)

I'm sorry, nearly 2000 -blam!- you microsoft

Not just that ms said It's a shame, because Halo 3: ODST is a solid and enjoyable squad-shooter from Bungie, and the game raced to the top of the UK charts today.

If MS don't want to fix it, let them. They're only digging themselves a hole by driving people away from their best franchise.

They'll fix it for just that reason. They want Reach to sell, along with legends and waypoint- but none of those will be popular if issues like this appear within a week of launch. People won't buy them because after ODST (If MS don't fix it), they just won't have faith in MS' ability to test patches before releasing them/release a product that won't crash.

  • 09.28.2009 2:35 PM PDT

As I said earlier, I guarantee we don't see this issue being fixed anytime soon. Hopefully with the next system update things will be fixed, but if not, it doesn't really matter as my 360 is slowly dying every since ODST. First it was just Halo products, then new demoes, now Rock Band 2 and I am sure my other games will go too. I will just have to bite the bullet and send it in for repairs. This is very saddening

You have a point, and that's what I'll do; if Microsoft won't fix this, I'm not buying Reach. I love Bungie, but this is a Microsoft issue, and they're the ones who will likely have to pick up the pieces.

What is going on, this has been going on for a week now. I am loving the multiplayer disc over than avalance all other maps work. Plus crater, and one or two more firefight missions work. But no campaign. which means no more firefight maps, no acheveiments and no recon armor. Please can this be fixed or atleast tell us what we should do regarding are current game. My 10day return is running out and i need to know if i should return this game. Please mail bk with a solution or at least an idea to what is going on.

6 RRODS? ooouch thats bad. :x
Each to their own on game selection i guess, the only exlusives i like on the 360 are the halo series and fable. :)
Anyways enough chat back to the problem at hand. I recall someone earlier saying that if you go through the campaign on co-op it wont DRE, ive just tested this and unfortunately it didnt work for me, may work for others so its worth a shot if you can find someone to play with!
May also be buying a elite soon anyway (need more HDD space, and HDMI!) so i shall let you know if that helps with the ODST situation. :)

Well, firefight started working for me, got a couple achievements out of it, but campaign is completely dead right now. So is my multiplayer disk for most maps. But I wonder why firefight started working again.

Unfortunately, I don't have a great update for you. We're still working with our publisher to figure out what the best steps for mitigation are.


The best steps for mitigation are ? Do you mean that in the legal way . . . as in there is no solution and you're looking at how to properly refund us our money ?

Please tell me I'm wrong. Plz.

  • 09.28.2009 3:00 PM PDT

I'm telling you now, if this isn't fixed by Modern Warfare 2's release I will not be purchasing any future games from Bungie. Nothing against them, just that is how I plan on getting back at M$.
