As I have been banned for 7 days I will be unable to post this but
I wanted to apologize for the post the other day "Stop Supporting Game Developers You Hate". Unfortantly I wrote a great post that stated I was sorry for what I did and why but couldn't post it (and now how to rewrite it). So please forgive me for that post, I was not thinking clear and wish people would just pretend it never existed (cause it was crap)
You guys know what it sounds like to me is Bungie needs to work on their games bad language (computer code). I was reading about issues where the Xbox slim (4gb) was having hard drive issues. I wonder if they went to fix the slim and ended up break the code for the regular xboxs. I tried it on my 20gb after a friend contacted me with the issue. And I had no problem, but for him to play he has to remove his hard drive. So this means to me there are driver issues.
I tried other fixes to which none worked for him. Including clearing the cache, making sure he was connected to xbox live (in case he missed an update), turning his console on its side, making sure he didn't have the game disk saved to his hard drive. But I have said this before Halo Reach was poorly coded (I constantly had framerate issues, the image would downgrade, connection issues), and I think Bungie (being the greedy people they are, ODST and map packs) rush the title with bad code.
Now I also just learned my friends is an original xbox (back when they first released) while mine (20gb) was right before they released the 40gb ones (pissed me off), mine works his doesn't, not sure if there is a difference but there could be.
Also when did this start for people? was it before or after we updated the last big xbox live update?
But in the end sounds like Bungie is more worried about map packs and making a quick buck and Microsoft is right behind them it seems, cause this sounds a drivers issue
Also have you guys tried updating the game? I just spoke with turns out he didn't connect to the web, he is a silver account and didn't know he could still connect. So people make sure your xbox live is the newest version and ur halo reach is up to date. But in the end I still think with this many people it's bungie's fault and they don't care, an argument of mine in a post I did about how gaming is destorying itself
Gaming Is Destroying Itself (Bungie you're not helping)
