You don't even know dude, to have the game in your hands and not be able to play it, is pushing me to the very limits of sanity.

Just for the record this is my situation:

When trying to load a game it will either a)say the disc is unreadable or b)load and freeze within minutes while playing. The video freezes first and the audio stops a few seconds after the video freezes. When I press the guide button, it still makes the noise but nothing changes visually and there is nothing else I can do.

The problems persist when the game installed to my HDD. Nothing changes when I used a different HDD or none at all. I've also tried clearing the cache on both HDDs (120GB and 20GB).

Same freeze with mine. It will freeze on the fist level either during the first encounter if i run up the stairs on the left, or right after getting in the truck on the first left hand turn.

When i tried removing the hard drive and using the flash drive i made it to the third mission where it seems to freeze at random.

It sucks even worse to have something like six friends on it right now and one of them who texts you periodically asking what's going on without realizing you're about to throw something heavy. :\

Just wondering anyone else having the problem of checkpoints, especially when late in the level, deciding to clear themselves forcing you, upon death, to return to the beginning of the level?
(this is for those that can play quite far through a level)

Creator of the Bungie.Net game Find The SI

I have a Limited Edition disc, from Puerto Rico, and it only gave me one problem, which was the game coming up as a DVD, but everything works fine now. So I dunno. Maybe the discs have a written anomaly?

Had to get out the boat so i could walk on water

This is weird it just allowed me to play th first level, why is game teasing me ?

AT this point i would trade in this for Game, for one that works period, with cheating people and hacks, than to not be able to get past the start screen and only almost play multiplayer !

The reason Bungie is not responding is that if they admit that there is a problem with Reach it would hurt sales. So they are not going to say anything until they have a fix.

Generic response, not a fix or any kind of solid answer.

It's not a fix because it's a microsoft problem, but it is acknowledgement that there is a problem and they want to work towards fixing it

I called support in the UK and they said there will be a patch but other people are getting told they need repairs, do you know which one is needed?

  • 09.15.2010 3:02 PM PDT

Ive called microsoft and after about 1 hour of trying different things 1, ive found that the hard drive could be a major cause of the problems and you should try seeing if the game works without the hard drive
2. The person I was speaking with said he would try and get the word out because this is problem, because I told him about how many people here who have complained about problems. (lol He called me the Savior of Halo. Unfortunately he wasnt one of the tier 3 microsoft guys i eventually got to so its not 100% official XD) lol hopes this helps anyone and I hope bungie and notices the problem

Yes, and I was told that I could send my Xbox in for repairs for 90$ because my warranty is up. I don't especially feel like sending my Xbox in for repairs (again) when all other games besides this one work fine.

  • 09.15.2010 3:03 PM PDT

Where is The Alpha

I will take what we have

One step further

Why would the Xbox need repairs when its the disc that is messed up? Was is boxed with a truck full of magnets?

This just doesnt make sense. Again why wasnt this tested?

Should of been tested on all models and variants of the Xbox 360. how would this even be able to be patched?
