Well, now my hard drive is dead. Funny how it had been working fine for a year. Worked fine yesterday. Worked fine today until I tried to install the game onto my hard drive because I was having problems with the DRE. (120 gb elite). I was able to install it fine the first time, but it wasn't able to start the game. Then I deleted the file and tried reinstalling 5 more times, but wouldn't get past 10%. Then it just pooped out on me. Now my hard drive says "unformatted" and will not format. How is this not a Halo:Reach problem? Got off the phone after an hour and a half with MS support. Totally unhelpful. So, now after spending 60 bucks on a game, it kills my hard drive and I have to pay shipping to send in the hard drive to get it replaced? Total BS.

BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT CAN YOU PLEASE JUST SEND OUT A PATCH, THAT IS ALL WE WANT, SEND OUT A PATCH ON XBOX LIVE, THAT IS ALL WE ASK OF YOU, WE WANT A PATCH TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SO WE CAN PLAY OUR GAME.

< Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. The internet is a privilege not a right >

Well this is turning out to be fun times.

I returned Reach indefinitely (or until a surefire fix is released). So now I've gone back to playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 until other games of interest come out. Well what'd ya know, now Battlefield is randomly freezing up in ways it hasn't before.

I don't know if the issue is related, but I find it hard to believe they aren't. I played Battlefield religiously (we're talking 5 hours straight without realizing the time had passed) and not once did I ever have this issue. I did have issues with getting kicked out of games to the Main Menu as well as being booted to Xbox Dashboard, but never the game just freezing leaving the console unresponsive to the controller.

Oh well, I'm starting to get to the end of my rope, and may just end up giving up on Xbox all together (I REALLY love video games, but I am not tolerant for issues like this). Extra money in the pocket for my other hobbies (shooting and transportation so I can actually get OUT of the house) would be nice.

Good luck to everyone with their issues. I'll keep checking in from time to time to see if any progress has been made.

On a side note... I had a patch to download tonight from Xbox Live, anyone happen to know if it's related to the issues of late?

  • 09.22.2010 12:23 AM PDT

I know it probably wont fix anything, but maybe if we complain to the retailers we can get them to put pressure on Bungie/MS or ask that they not sell Bungie games in the future until this issue is resolved?

I've given Bungie 8 days now to say ANYTHING regarding this and it's clear they don't give a crap and are going to take their money and run. Well enjoy it and spend it wisely you -blam!-s because it's the last of it you'll ever see from me.

I know this forum is for bad read on halo reach but I thought I throw in that my three copies that I tried read as a DVD. the console recognised no data whatsoever. two of the copies worked on my mates elite model (yes I have the dreaded launch model) and all worked fine. i emailed xbox this was the response

"Thank you for contacting Microsoft online support for XBOX. I am Agee and I will be helping you today with this issue.



"I understand that when you try to play the game Halo Reach, it was recognized as DVD.



"I know how disappointing to have an issue playing a game on your console. Let me provide the steps that may help you with your issue.



"The DVD or game disc may be dirty or damaged. Because the console cannot read the disc well, it may even mistake a game disc for a DVD and report this error. If this problem occurs with multiple discs, even clean and undamaged discs, there may be a problem with your Xbox 360 console.

ITS BRAND NEW THANK YOU XBOX,

This just started not very long ago but it only happens in MP.
It's pretty annoying. Everything looks like this.

Image 2

and when the game is loading the screen gets red lines across the screen. It just started tonight. Campaign does the same thing but more colors than just blue.

Fiann whats with you and talking about "pirates and pirating"

This isn't anything to do with pirated copies


The pirates aren't the ones having problems. I think that in the end it will come out that this has all been caused by poorly designed and executed effort to reduce piracy. Like so many schemes, it doesn't so much as slow down the pirates but causes all sorts of problems for the people like us who actually PAID for the product.

All his posts are gone. His last post stated he got his "repaired" x box back and was going to play it he would let us know. He helped start this thread. He sent in his box last Tuesday.

I was on the fence on buying Kinect. With hardware issues like this, MS made the decision for me. No Halo, No Kinect! Lack of support is pathetic.

exactly what i was thinking i have it preordered for my kids but theres no gurantee it will work on my working system

  • 09.22.2010 6:58 AM PDT

Reach gave me 3 red lights after freezing the console 3 times. I'm sending it in today for the repair, but I'm even skeptical it will work with Reach when I get it back. Nothing like a 2-3 week wait to find out whether any of this effort is worth it. I'd love to hear about a solution/explanation of the problem from Bungie/Microsoft.

I have this problem also... But I do manage to make it work after opening and closing the tray several times. I hate old Xbox's.

Microsoft hired a private military group to kill him and deleted his profile.

They'll be coming for us next so watch your back and carry a gun with you everywhere...you'll need it.

im still thinking on what i should do...part of me says screw microsoft and just get rid of all that i have and goto sony...but my kids want kinect very badly im stuck here
They just need to fix this damn issue

  • 09.22.2010 8:48 AM PDT

Everyone has to relax about these kind of problems!

Bungie and MS will only say there is a problem only when the actual problem is isolated, and a patch can be made.

I had the same kind of problems with the game "Darksiders".
The game would freeze, and have loading issues all the time.
It took a good MONTH until there was finally a downloadable patch through Xbox Live.
