I have a similar problem except i start the campaign mission and it freezes all the time. The Multiplayer is fine but the campaign causes the game to freeze. I've tried it 15 times. I'm kinda getting sick of the opening cutscene.

For those who don't want to pay 200 bucks for a console just hit up ebay you'll find used consoles for 70 bucks, just make sure they go on Xbox live if you need it.

Hate to break it to you man but it's the disc drive I had the same thing happen to me about a year ago and it slowly went downhill after that and stopped reading discs completely MS wanted $150 (at the time) to fix it... I said no and replaced the drive myself for $30

Crap. I'm anxious because my Reach is coming in half an hour. I don't know if it the console is old so I'm scared. Bungie, you have to fix this.

the green screen comes up after installing the game to hard drive? and what kind of xbox, launch?[/quote]

yeah I installed it thinking it would help. I actually got to play one match and everything was okay. Then I got into another match and there was connection problems so I was stuck at the screen where it was just showing the players and their ping. Then all of a sudden black screen and disc unreadable popped up. And I don't know if it's launch. My girlfriend bought it for me two christmas' ago

I would liek to see a reply from a Microsoft or Bungie employee. I don't expect to pay for anything. There is nothing wrong with the box. It plays other games perfectly. Literally every game I have is fine. Reach + old Xbox = no.

its white with grey disc tray. I've already had it repaired once over a year ago. I had the red rings. I'm not paying $100 to get it fixed again

Sorry to say it but that's the version that's having the most problems, good luck!

Wait, if your Xbox worked for Halo 3 should you be fine?

Yeah, I realize that. But a game should still run on it. An xbox 360 is an xbox 360. shouldn't matter what generation you have it should run all software.

So maybe investing in a new box would be good?

  • 09.14.2010 4:58 PM PDT

Um... I'm getting Reach tomorow, and I have a 2 year old Xbox 360 Pro. Does that mean my Reach won't work?

that would be the xbox. ive had the same problem sraight from taking the xbox out of its box, its just dust and stuff. now all i hav to do is mayb eject and inject once or twice, i dont hav much particles inside of the console, but if u consistantly cant get it to work, u might want to actually open it up and clean it. but then again, u can damage it that way and microsoft may hate u cuz thats wat modders do: open consoles/controllers up

I have the exact same situation! MS is not making me a happy camper. i've had 3 DIFFERENT 360's red ring (all the initial launch pro ones) and since the last red ring, it has been repaired twice. it's no longer under warranty. i went and got another disc from gamestop today. cached. deleted some files. deleted my profile and then recovered it. unplugged everything and plugged it back in.....etc. nothing frikin works. not cool.

I'm sorry but i don't know about the arcade version, as far as i know it's almost always the launch version that has the problem but i have heard of other versions having the same problem

I had the problem happen to my brother. He got lucky and it said he could install it to the hard drive. But it didn't even have any scratches.

  • 09.14.2010 5:02 PM PDT

it might be a problem with the read write head inside the disc drive. I had the same problem but I dissasembled my Xbox and just cleaned the laser and now it works fine.

halo 3 worked for about a year then i couldnt play any maps

  • 09.14.2010 5:03 PM PDT

I'm having this problem too. it played Halo 3 fine for awhile, but when i tried to load up campaign this weekend in anticipation of reach, i couldn't play.

today, i'm playing reach, and i got all the way to the load screen for mission 6, and it gives me the DRE. i've cleared the cache, removed the hard drive, and flipped from horizontal to vertical with no change.

i'm also using the white xbox with the grey tray

If my Xbox runs all my other games except Reach, could it still be the laser?

  • 09.14.2010 5:05 PM PDT
