Is there anything we/bungie can do about it?

  • 09.14.2010 5:28 PM PDT

Pffft! Screw this thread! *Does 180 spin and moon walks out of thread*

yeh man its happend to me and i have seen a few threds saying the same thing about tip of the spear level and stuff :(

  • 09.14.2010 5:29 PM PDT

I'm having the same problem, it'll play the first mission (the one that's just the video) and as it begins to load the second (Winter Contingency), it freezes up and then displays the "Unreadable Disk" error. It does the same thing for certain multiplayer maps (Asylum and Forge World, possibly others). Haven't tried any other game modes yet.

Plus, my 360 is an Elite, got it about four years ago (which I believe is around when they came out). Had it repaired once, but it was the three-ring, not red ring of death.

This is pretty frustrating.

What is alaunch version 360.
I have a 20gig with a silver disk tray it worked for halo 3 and odst will it work for reach

  • 09.14.2010 5:29 PM PDT

Maybe why Halo Reach isn't working is because the game is so Uber Awesome.

Will the xbox 360 pro be affected (20 gig)

How do I check if my Xbox is a launch version?

  • 09.14.2010 5:30 PM PDT

When Super Smash Bros Brawl came out the same issue appeared on the Wii. They used a dual layer disc that made it tough for the 1st run consoles to run. Bungie has stated that they crammed this disc full of awesome so maybe they did make a dual layer disc for the 360. When I encountered the problem on the Wii I used an aerosol can to "de-dust" it.

Lois My Darling!!!

Launch version = Xboxes that were the first version.

From what I've read it seems the problem is that the launch box can't read the disc. So you will have to either buy a newer xbox or something else. Sucks to be you guys.

I keep playing the campaign and the same opening cut scene keeps looping over and over again. Even if i try skipping it, It will just start from the beginning showing the planet reach

  • 09.14.2010 5:38 PM PDT

my console played both halo 3 and ODST without any problems.
I kinda feel proud of myself for working this all out...

Come on bungie/microsoft... give us some kind of information.
It seems more and more people are being affected.. This is a major stuff up for microsoft

I have the launch version and the Halo Reach Disc plays just fine. Still holding my breath that I don't see the Red Ring of Death now that I have Reach in hand! REMEMBER REACH!

  • 09.14.2010 5:40 PM PDT

Apparently the red dead discs were horrible for frzzing or becoming unreadable but nothing like this
