To the couch! and maybe beyond!

Yeah my friends disc keeps getting load failure in just about any matchmaking game exept forge world. He says he has to load the maps on like custom games and stuff for them to even maybe work. My disc has this little piece of plastic that flipped up near the middle of it and trust me i havnt done anything to it to make that happen. My friend says the same thing (that near the middle of the disc it cracked). Im gonna try to get a new disc from gamestop becouse this is getting really annoying.

The first xbox's that came out im guessing because I have one of them and my reach made the same error. Can't read disk -.- So what i did was instead of laying my xbox flat, I stood it up, and now reach works perfectly. Idk why but eh oh well atleast it works everytime now.


I have to admit mine is working better standing up. I've been using it vertical for 3 days and it has read a few times right away, and only required a single eject/reload on two occasions.

OK,

I found a solution for my issue.

At first my disc worked fine, for about 6 times of playing it, on the 1st generation xbox. With the 90 days coming up from the date of purchase, i grew tired of waiting for Bungie to publicly announce a fix, and i took my game back to Wal-mart.

I swapped my Made in Mexico Disk out for that of another country, took it home and IMMEDIATELY DOWNLOADED IT TO MY HARD DRIVE!!!!!

I have not had an issue in the game since, and have EVERY MAP! in campaign, multiplayer, etc..

Hope this helps you all that are having issues.

I got these cheeseburgers man....

my guess is that they didn't test it on these consoles, i guess they assumed that people would have upgraded them by now so they may not have had any reason to assume it wouldn't work... it sounds really dumb doesn't it.


Thats a really good idea! It just might be it.

Too bad they didn't fix the problem with that update.

Never had any problems with the disk. why would there be problems? I guess my legendary packaging kept it safe!

  • 11.03.2010 8:22 AM PDT

Your Face

I got the legendary edition and my game freezes when I play the campaign and sometimes firefight. It happen to me when I was playing ODST too. That's why this annoys me so much. Bungie and Microsoft must of known that there was a problem but yet they didn't do anything about it or even address the problem. And the fact that they still are not doing anything about it other than trying to get us to pay more money to fix their malfunctioning product really annoys me. Great way to treat your fans Bungie.

exchange it

"You could've had a V8...now it's too late!"

Ugh, -blam!- goddamnit. I am SICK and TIRED of Microsoft DEVOURING my money by sending out defective discs on a console that was guaranteed to play said disc.

You know what? Okay, I give up. Im tired of waiting for you -blam!-s to fix this problem, and guess what? Your going to get what you want, I'll hand over hard earned 99 dollars just to get one game working and request a repair right now. Bam. Its done.

ARE YOU -blam!- HAPPY? YOU GOT YOUR DAMN MONEY NOW, I HOPE YOUR GODDAMNED HAPPY.

  • 11.03.2010 7:53 PM PDT

Yeah, this topic will be updated when they got more concrete information... It's just a shame that that's two months ago, and I'm still sitting here with the problem! What's microsoft/ bungie gonna do about this mess? When will there be a patch? Can they at least give us that?

Calling the microsoft number only gives you a repair of 150 dollars :S....

I'm not entirely unconvinced that it isn't simply a generational issue. For example, I have both the 3rd Gen 360 that was launched at E3 this year and the Xbox 360 Core... on the latter there are times where the game just locks up the whole console for no apparent reason, whilst the former has no problems at all. However, this doesn't happen with any other game in my collection.

There may be something about the content-structure in Reach that is not entirely compatible with older machines.
