New game reportedly being rejected by older Xbox 360s as unreadable; Microsoft "aware" of issue in "small" number of players.

Though the original Xbox 360 hardware is infamously error prone, today reports surfaced of problems with one of the company's software offerings. Unfortunately for Microsoft, it's the most popular game on the market at the moment--the first-party sci-fi shooter Halo: Reach.



Reports of Halo disc errors have already Reach-ed Microsoft! (Sound of crickets chirping.)

Most reports in an increasingly long thread on the Bungie.net forums have the consoles being unable to read the disc or telling players to eject the game and wipe the disc clean. Many posters complain the discs are brand new and spotless, meaning they could not be dirty or scratched. Other issues include looping cinematics and freezing on start-up.

May be some one will do something!!!!

Where do I go to complain about the horribly messed up ranking system? To be more specific, the Assist part of it. I can provide multiple vids of me making people 1 shots, team shooting, and in 1 case, I made a guy a 1 shot TWICE(Please ask), only to have a teammate finish the kill and I don't get an assist.

Now I don't care about having my kills stolen as long as we win, but this -blam!- has got to be FIXED! In the beta I averaged just over 10 assists, in 3 I averaged around 8 to 9. Currently I am averaging 2. Me and my friends agree, the only sure fire way to get an assist is to is to shoot him first, make him a 1 shot(without ANYONE else shooting him), and then die, making sure a teammate is in position to kill him immediately after u die.

This post has nothing to do with Arena, but alot of people r posting here so I figured this would be the best place to post this. Cause if assists r going to count as part of ur rank, they shouldn't be next to impossible to get. I have never been a main slayer type player. Im a support/anchor. I avg more assists then any of my friends and I am a team player, not a lonewolf. I help my teammates get kills and go positive. Its my skill and speciality. Please, please can someone relay this to a Bungie Member.

On a side note I finished the Campaign, Played firefight, and all of Matchmaking. And I really like this game. Well except for Big Team Swat, but whatever. It was definitely worth the money, and thanks Bungie.

I'm having the same stupid problem with my Xbox 360 Elite 120GB made in 2009-05-10

At first it worked I got halfway through campaign.
Then I started getting "Failed to Write" error
"Failed To Write" error persisted until the game began to be unplayable.
Game would load to a green screen and freeze
Game will no longer load whatsoever and jams up my xbox completely.

It has bugged my entire harddrive as well. The game is not on my hard drive yet I have played it before. My hard drive actually said it was corrupted before.

This is absolutely ridiculous for such a big launch to be executed so terribly. This isn't just a small problem it makes a 60-150$ game unplayable and that money spent is nearly impossible to get back. Bungie & Microsoft should publicly apologize and ready a fix if they want to keep everyone from jumping on the CoD band wangon.

So answer me this, I have a launch console and have had the problems everyone on here is complaining about. Freeze up after first cut scene not able to play anything except one game and once carnage report is about to load disk unreadable. If I go out and get a brand new xbox360 250gb hd, will it play? Because I'm about to do just that on saturday. But I don't wanna drop 300 and still not be able to play reach.

I have no idea what to do. My Xbox is white with a silver tray (don't know the exact name of it) and it won't read the game, but from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like there is a definite solution to this problem since there are multiple possibilities. This is pretty ridiculous :(

Yeah , if this keeps up, ima going to drop Halo Reach and wait for Deadrising 2. Its just geting out of control now.

Hopefully we can get some more news tomorrow.

I'd rather not send my console in until they tell me straight to my face there will never be an downloadable update.

You're better off sending it in if they'll do it for free. I'm sending mine in tomorrow. You may be waiting for something that will never come.

It's a risk assessment. The longer you wait, the longer it could potentially be until you're able to play it. Heck, wait too long and they might not repair it for free

I bought my xbox 360 pro with 60gb harddrive 2008 and halo reach works perfectly... The White one with Silver tray.. My friend is on a xbox 360 arcade and it works for him aswell.. I think it's random. I mean some consoles have hitachi drives and some have toshiba drives etc.. That might be the problem

There is no confirmed consistency with what console works and what doesn't work. From the info on this thread (the only available info WTF), everything from a launch all the way to a slim (which includes me FML) is susceptible to the disc error. So it's a crapshoot, only way to find out is to try it. Good luck, hope yours works, this is FRUSTRATING AZZ HELL.

Yep. I guess there's two ways to look at what's happening. 1, it's launch week of MS's most anticipated game yet and they don't want to stop people from buying by announcing the error more publicly. Or 2, they and Bungie found out about the problem just after launch and are scrambling to find a fix. The fact that it's a "small" amount of people makes me think it's option 1. Apparently sending your box in is the only way to fix it now, but the fix only involves engineers applying a firmware update. WTF.

I would like to think it's option 2 and a title update will be available or announced any day now, but that's looking pretty grim. All this after I talked my girlfriend into buying the game for co-op and now my copy doesn't work. Shoot me.

This is my BOOM stick!

What ever the reason i need it fixed! I only play Halo, nothing else this is wrecking my world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BUMP

  • 09.17.2010 1:11 AM PDT

I bought halo reach right .. september 15th i got it through the mail ( ordered it off some online shop ).
what do i do? i tear off the wrapping and run upstairs towards my xbox 360... i put it in and turn it on it starts loading and it shows the starting screen right with the planet etc , then get to the intro part in the middle of choose ur equipment my xbox freezes , i turn it off and back on guess what , RROD.

i already had 3 years warranty because my xbox was one that was produced in the time of the RROD problem... my warrenty kind of expired on July 2th 2010 so now im stuck with a brand new game and a broken xbox , already called MS and they tell me it's because my xbox is probably too old and i should send it in for repairs because its broken now.... im thinking of either just breaking the thing whole so that it wont be repaired and i get a new one or try to have it repaired...

new game + old console = RROD?
