Subject: EMERGENCY HELP - Halo 4 "unreadable" and it has -blam!- m...

So guys please help me out here. I'd appreciate if you took the time to read this and not give me troll answers.

Ok, so I got a little tired of playing Halo 4 for three weeks straight. So last week I took out the disc and placed in Red Dead Redemption. Today I returned to Halo 4 for Episode 5 of Spartan Ops. I placed the disc in and I found that my Halo 4 has now become -blam!-. Everytime I place it in, it pauses on the big Halo 4 logo for a long time. After that it just turns to a black blank page. The Xbox has not frozen because I am still able to pull up the menu. So what the -blam!- has happened!? I have not damaged it or anything recently, it has been in perfect condition until today. It makes some weird noises loading up, unsual ones even for an Xbox too.

The worst part is when I take it out, THEN my Xbox -blam!-s up. It freezes on the blank page and -blam!- goes crazy afterwards. I have to wait a while for everything to return to normal.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so please tell me your solutions.

I am not willing to sit back and let £60 go to waste. Hopefully I'll be able to return this to the shop and get a refund/trade or another copy.

By the way, does anyone know whether Amazon has a 1 month warranity? Because if so I have two days to take it back...and I have the used the DLC...

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Should've installed it to the hard drive.

Is the disc scratched? Maybe you should post a picture.

Do other games work fine? Did you knock the xbox while you had a game in there?

It is honestly not scratched. Never have done anything to scratch it either.

Nope, didn't knock it when other games were in there. Even if I did when Halo 4 was in there it should've been scratched or laser burnt straight away.

I was aiming more along the lines of the disk drive being -blam!- up. Hence the question of do other games work.

Disc drive is also fine. Yes, all the other games work too.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

Did you try clearing the system cache and see if that helps. It works for me when Skyrim decides to keep freezing.

Something to do with temporary files, this should help.
If this doesn't work and your other games work then it's probably just your Halo 4 disc.

Here you go. Now if the disc is unreadable this may not help but this is something you sould do every once in a while.

What was the last game you played?

Go into settings > memory from the dashboard and look at all the Halo 4 stuff you've got saved. If something has a yellow warning icon, delete it, it's a corrupted file.

This, also try clearing the cache.

If all else fails, grab a friends copy, install it to the HDD and then try your copy, if it still doesn't work then your disc is FUBAR. The only way you'll be able to play is to get another copy.

If it's already installed, un-install it first.
