Today we mourn the passing of Hikaru-119's Halo disc. For nearly three faithful years it has been in or right next to the Xbox, constantly being there for anger management, support, physics lessons, love, and much more.

With its passing we must learn to move on and realize that death is apart of us all. Human, animal, superb video game disc. Everything that had a beginning will have an end. May the Lord take its spirit into heaven where it can be in eternal Halo happiness. Amen.

Basically life sucks. The levels Halo, Truth and Reconnciliation, 343 Guilty Spark, Keyes, and Two Betrayals no longer load. So I have to break open a back up copy. Oh the agony!

So has anyone else had this bullcrpa happen before or am I the only one that has had this travesty occur?

I've had temporary problems sometimes with loading, but eventually it gets over it. So I have never completely 'lost' a copy but maybe these are premature signs.
God I hope not, or it lasts until November

Then I'll stop playing Halo on my one xbox for a while. Thing is the disc is pretty beat up and has gone through hell and back. Only now is it starting to screw up, and well...die.

i've had trouble with my halo disc in the recent past, mainly on Xbox Connect, but other wise just being a stupoid -blam!-, which is proabaly the xbox, because once I got some message on the xbox in like 15 languages to go immediately and get your xbox checked at a microsoft certified place, it sorta drove me nuts, so now i have 2 backups, both unopened

Wow, dude. There are only 24 hours in a day too. If I assume you get 8 hours of sleep every day, what the hell do you get done in the other 2 hours?

yes my friends disk has this problem, but probly cuz he shares his xbox and games w/ our cousin and hes not very responsible, his little brothers the devil when it comes to expensive stuff, and his mom is crazy...she once hid the little piece on the end of the controller cable in her -blam!- hamper! i mean omg...so she probly put like the halo disk in the dishwasher or garbage disposal...how can she hate such a beautiful console...anyway me and my friend feel ur pain (but also snicker behind ur back)

my halo hasnt lost any levels but it does tend to load funny, like on keyes, where the captain screams finally before you see em. that always happens after i see him for some reason. and i play slowly! also some of the marines voices and grunts crys arent being said. but i gues its all down to wear and tear, plus xbxoxs do generate a lot of dust, even when i play it. dunno why

My Xbox has trouble loading Halo in general. I've have to get three new discs because it just wouldn't load it. It kept telling me that it was scratched or dirty, even though they were BRAND NEW.
Extremely annoying. My new disc does it on a minor level now, so I have to keep opening and closing my xbox if I want it to work.
