Halo 3 Game Freezing Issues

Planet Xbox360 Reports: Literally hundreds of people have been posting in two forum threads at both the Bungie and Xbox sites saying that they are having serious problems with disc reading errors and Halo 3. The issue appears to happen for various people at different places in the game, and is not related to whether the disc is scratched or not. User Muffy had the following to say on the Bungie forums:

I'm on my 3rd copy of Halo 3 - after the 2nd Limited copy was found to be scratched I upgraded to Legendary hoping the REAL DVD CASE you get when you by the "PLASTIC EDITION" (PE) would yield a clean disk - and it did - the surface is perfect.

But... I'm still getting read error intermittently at various points in Solo or Campaign - usually when I reboot I can get by the read error and continue on. This is happening on a spanking new 360 Elite - 4 days old
says Matt Gibbs.

So the read error is not necessarily always related to a scratch... Might be just really poor reproduction. He wonders if a DVD utility would tell what rate they burned it at... Maybe they cooked them too quickly.

"Believe"

[The_Firestarter]

I just saw that commercial right now.

[Shaka2K6]

Cant finish the flop.

man microsoft will never learn or what, this is why all their products are flopping zune,vista,x360 and now the biggest tittle to hit the x360 is also buggy and microsoft-ish.

things not looking good for microsoft not at all.

[progx]

Shouldn't you be playing ps3 instead of trolling Halo news? Wait...I forgot, you don't have sh*t to play. Well there always HOME. Oh right...thats delayed till '08 now. Enjoy WAITING B3YOND even more douche LOL.

EDIT: WOW, you have some serious problems man. Your comment speaks for itself. Thx for proving my point though douche. Such a sad, sad little freak you are...

[FirstknighT]

Hundreds out of 2 million??? Sheesh. Talk about blowing something small into something big. HAHA, keep digging sony fools.

[reaferfore20]

It should have been zero out of millions.

[gEnKiE]

Diggin? Its funny its coming from a 360 fanboy site....

[Scrooge]

The internet has made the world a small place. Hundreds can be a really loud voice.

[HeartlesskizZ]

I still Believe that is Microsoft fault for not letting retailers open the boxes to see if any errors of what ever problem packaging had.

They went to extra careful and now they suffer consequences.

[MattFoley]

You do know how cheap it is to manufacture cds right? And what kind of deal they get for buying that many.

[uxo22]

What do you think retailers gonna do, open each game and test it? You make no sense, but I guess someone needs to be there for you to take your lonely frustration out on.

[gEnKiE]

....and we thought Warhawk had problems...

[Snukadaman]

has warhawk hit a million yet? with that many people you got too expect a couple of RROD'S and various other problems.

[gEnKiE]

RROD's?? Well im glad to hear that you have a console that you actually have to consider a chance of something like that happening everytime you turn it on...

[Snukadaman]

both consoles aint perfect but like you not giving up on sony... I aint giving up on microsoft because eventually both problems will be solved.

[gEnKiE]

I just think it was stupid for Microsoft to release the 360 as soon as they did. If they looked at it more, they could of easily fixed the cause of the RRoD, (which to my understanding, their still not actually stating the problem) and not have any of these problems. Sony's not up to par on their state of the console race either and its very much noticable. Like you said though, these problems will get fixed....hopefully...Kudos

[Snukadaman]

but not no disc read problems.....i think this is being blown out of proportions with some sony fanboys. you can go on Bungie.net and see people complaining about halo 3 issues but no halo 3 stats or a gamertag.
man its sad when some people hate another consoles sucess because they think one or the other will be going out of business soon. Its not happening people..so get over the FUD.

x5150 not everyone is lying...i said that....theres just as much people bullsheitting on bungie having problems then people who really have the problem is my point..you can see on this website the hate for each console so its not out of the question too belive some idiot will go on a website and say they got problems when in fact they dont own the system.

[X5150DIAVOLO]

I posted on both the BUNGIE forum and XBOX forums with my gamertag for this problem and I am not fan boy of Sony, or Microsoft, or XBOX 360, or HALO, and definately not VISTA (TDR/BSOD MS/NVIDIA ERRORS 9 months and counting!!)
I don't care about SONY (no reason, just never bought into PS1/2/3/PSP) & I never did the Nintendo thing (my friends did, I played theirs and they played my Sega Master System and Genesis, worked out well (Loved Contra too much :-) )

My GAMERTAG is X5150DIAVOLO ON XBOX LIVE. I want to be a fan boy for XBOX 360 (I was very happy with the original XBOX). I want to be a fanboy for HALO 3, but because my XBOX 360 is acting up and playing HALO 3 has been problematic I am not a fan of MS or BUNGIE because I'm pissed that 3 copies of HALO 3 won't play in my system, even though my other games play okay.

I bought my father a HALO Edition XBOX 360 and a HALO 3 game and he's the happiest 67 yr old Spartan in the world. He beat HALO 1 and 2 on the most difficult levels and runs circles around me and I'm 32. He loves his new XBOX 360 and he loves HALO 3 and probably has beat it today and is working on heroic level now. I would not have bought him this if I hated Microsoft or XBOX or BUNGIE, but I'm pissed that I can't play online with my DAD as he lives in NC and I live in CA and we see each other once a year around Thanksgiving.

I'm currently not a fan of XBOX or BUNGIE support because it is typical Microsoft <insert Apu's Voice here> "Welcome to Kwikie XBOX support, Thank you! COME AGAIN!"

I called XBOX support and got chicken curry instead of a knowledgable tech support agent who knew how to troubleshoot anything. I love chicken curry, but I didn't order chicken curry I ordered support for a product made by a US company (That was Made in Taiwan & China I know), & wanted to get an American support agent who was able to logged my issue, troubleshoot it, and get me a fix, but I got chicken curry instead, <insert homer voice here> mmmmmmm.......chicken curry.

They offered me another copy of Halo 3, but I already had 3 copies that didn't work, and it's called HALO 3 so 4 copies would be getting ahead of myself. /sarcasm

Just know that many of us are in that forum and we just want to play HALO 3 and are not pissing in the wind or supporting Sony.

I would very much consider owning a PS3 if it meant no game problems. A Bluray player would go well with a XBOX360 HD-DVD player too. I just don't want to spend $500 on one. I just spent that on my dad's system and I am still running my old 360 from a year ago which up until now hasn't been bad at all and never serviced yet, so i am grateful for that at least.

Ciao,

Joey

[MattFoley]

Snaku- I noticed that also. When I went on Bungie to see how amny complaints there were alot of them were from new members. One or two days. It doesnt add up.

X5- Give this a shot, before you turn on your 360 hold down x and turn it on and keep holding it until the dashboard it should clear the cache or whatever. When I was playing a lot of Halo 2 on my 360 it would load tremendously slow and a friend of mine told me about the cache clearing thing. After that levels would load right up with little wait. I hope this helps Id be pissed off too.

I have had two copies of halo 3 too but both worked I got the 60 version the friday prior and had the le edition on preorder so I sold it. I have never heard of this kind of problem with a game before so im skeptical of its truth.

[Arkrite]

I've got a copy that works fine in all game modes but my dashboard has started freezing a lot! when coming out of my friends list its only started happening since Halo 3.
My mate is on his 2nd copy! and getting "disc reading error" on his main console
But the disc works fine on his spare machine?
But his spare scratches games?
He's gutted

[X5150DIAVOLO]

I agree with you. I was just stepping up to be counted :-)
Ciao,
joey

[Duke Nukem]

This world is coming to an end. get all the water you can get and run for the mountains.

[KoolMan]

You make want to take some of that Halo fuel

[joydestroy]

interesting. sounds like someone either doesn't know how to burn discs or maybe original data became corrupt or parts just wouldn't burn.
this could happen to any video game.

[Radiomorph]

Do you really think they BURN the discs at the factories? They are pressed (stamped).

[X5150DIAVOLO]

You are so right, as you know. Glad you pointed it out too.

Ciao,
joey

[firefly00]

Now u can't finish the fight ROFL!

[CrazzyMan]

well actually you can...
die xbox360, die!! =)))

[Shaka2K6]

Not even the x360 would let you finish this mediocre game,
its actually doing you a favor by scrathing the disk, even the x360 says get this POS game out of here now.

you better listen xbois next time the x360 will explote 1st before you get to ''finish the fight''.

[progx]

So whats the excuse? Can't afford it? Or you just like trolling that much? Either way your as goddamn pathetic as cheatmaster28. If your gona be complete douchebag fanboys, at least OWN A CONSOLE LOSERS.

[power of Green]

PS3 fanboys go to 360 related info sources to post what they can use to slow the failure of PS3 and to bash, he's saying 360 fans are not seeking out PS3 news bad or good due to not caring whats going on with anything PS3 related. Do you understand?.

This is why PS3 fanboys fill up threads so fast when the thread's about bad 360 news, this is the proof because every time some one finds something like this PS3 fans out number the 360 fans 4 to 1.

Its almost like you people are actively looking for dirt and a chance to bash.

You come in here because no one cares about the PS3 and you people want people to know you hate the 360 and you guys can't stand not being heard.

No one cares about Sony fans opinions it just gets old when theres so many more of vs 360 fans.

You're taking the fight to us so to speak.

You must feel whats so obvious to us Sony's losing mainstream steam(popular opinion is no longer in Sony's

favor).

All the smarter Sony fanboys have gaven up on trying to force mainstream opinion to hate the 360 yet ther is a few that just don't get.

Rabid SOB's take defeat like men...sheesh go play your PS3 with pride like the rest of the samrter fanboys.

[cheatmaster28]

Yes there are so many of you but the thing is you guys are so retarded that 1 fanboy from sony can take down about 5 of you xbots because all you can say is "360 RuLz!1111!!!!" and "ps3 suXor F@GS"

Its a pretty easy fight when all you post is that...

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Sorry. You fail.

Finished the fight a couple times already.

No problems. Haven't heard of any before this either, besides the crappy LE case scratch gripes.

[Bolts]

Halo 3 runs great and works fine...as long as I don't get the red ring LOL! For a game that sold so many copies some kind of production issue is bound to happen. Not a big issue.

[HeartlesskizZ]

I got a feeling Halo 3 was rush to take advantage of the fact there is No big Franchise coming out this year other then R&C.

You wont believe how people at my local Gamestop claim to Haze is the real Halo Killer not Killzone.

Who knows. the game looks like it got potential especially now that is Exclusive

[joydestroy]

Haze does look awesome. the AI is pretty sweet.
i think it will do better than Killzone 2.

but i don't think Haze will stay exclusive. most people are forgetting that it was announced for all 3 and then dropped for the 360 and PC. they did dev work for them and i seriously doubt they just threw it out the window.

[power of Green]

Halo's features are advanced and you can tell by the way the 360 runs Halo 3. We take for granted what is really going on all at once in Halo 3.

[Wingnut26]

That's all...

[WIIIS1]

Sonyfans are rejoicing because this malicious rumor will delay PS3's inevitable death by a few months.

[gerrard]

Sony's not going to die on this one trick pony, and secondly if Microsoft is to truly kill of Sony then it's xmas to spring they really need to start working hard on (especially on reliable issues)because thats when Sony will fight back and they have the games and (probably pricedrop) to prove it,

[X5150DIAVOLO]

The problem affects certain XBOX360's. I have used 3 different copies of HALO 3, and they all have the same identical playback issues: slow loading of introduction movie, game levels, cut-scenes, game freezes lasting between 1-5 seconds, intermittent loss of audio sound effects, disc-read-errors/DRE, problems saving game/resuming saved game, et al.

Many people in the forums on XBOX and BUNGIE who have this problem have HALO 3 DVD's that are NOT scratched at all, and most of us have tried between 2 to 4 separate HALO 3 DVDs copies and the problem doesn't go away.

Removing the Hard Drive does seem to eliminate the playback problems for me, but I still think the game momentarily freezes at every checkpoint and maybe that's normal when there is no HD to save game progress too.

Most of us have cleared the HD cache, HALO 3 game files, but the issue doesn't get rectified unless you remove the hard drive. Most of us are NOT having problems with other games, only HALO 3 and it doesn't matter how many replacements copies we use ( I tried 2 copies from Amazon, and 1 from EBGAMES).

Some have said it's related to an LIVE update for HALO3 that went awry when MS servers got slammed on the first day, doubtful, but I won't rule it out. I do know that my hard drive does not act correctly after trying to play HALO3 and seems to be getting progressingly slow and lagged when I attempt to move between media center, XBOX Live, games, & dashboard functions.

I will reformat my HD after I get my data backed up to my server tomorrow assuming I can locate an XSATA device locally. Hopefully reformat will get rid of whatever corruption the Live Update applied or the game itself embedded into our hard drives, but I think some who have attempted a reformat haven't claimed it got rid of the problem either. I will send my system in for repairs as a last resort, but I was hoping for a patch that would fix the problems.

Additionally commerically produced movies/games/music CD's, DVD's. HDDVD, & BLURAY Discs are not burned with burners they are stamped like records (totally different process, but the analogy is accurate.

See how at http://www.dvd-makers.com/p...

Misc factoid: We burn data or copies using specific media that has a layer of laser reactive die that forms pits. Often a burned media copy of a stamped original can be easier to read for most players because the pits are more accurately represented then a stamped disc that may have less defined pits. Modern PC drives are able to re-read w/ error correction to get all data off a commerical disk (even scratched) by making multiple passes and caching the image to a hard drive that can be burned back to a CDR/RW/DVDR+-RW/RAM/BLURAY/ better than the original so long as there was no problems during the burning process.

Ciao,

joey

[aggh im on fire]

I don't know anyone who has had this problem, think it's very isolated.

[athlon770]

When I was using my original xbox prem purchased in Nov of '06, all was fine, last night I bought the Elite with the updated Falcon board (mfg date of July '07) and played some Marval Ultimate Alliance last night (with no issues), but this morning I popped in my Halo 3 and right after the first cinamatic, I had lagg issues. Playing the single player alone so I can't attribute this to xbox live issues, I started getting game freezes lasting 2 to 5 seconds for almost a good min, then all was fine.

[Shaka2K6]

GTA4 and MGS4 would have totally murder the halo 3 hype.
everything dropping this fall season is new ips except Unreal 3 and R&C.

[joydestroy]

UT3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO

[leon76]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA!!!!! Xbots, stop making excuses!!!!! that is ridiculous!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

[Daz]

I got a filling that people make it such a big issue out of a thing that can be fixed lol.

[Sovannah Phum]

why do games have to go gold so late?....never mind this went gold like a month before it was supposed to be sold. halo 2 upscaled ftw!

[Shaka2K6]

No wonder it can be fixed just add something like $60 bones and send it back
thats why its called the xbroke 3fixme.

[Unknown]

why N4g isn't called N4b(NEWS 4 BASHERS)!!! I was on a gaming site early today and I noticed something...something truly amazing!!! I seen fanboys conversing like adults about what they liked and didn't like gaming! Even though they might not have owned the system, if they liked the game they gave props. If MS or SONY had negative press they commented on the topic as a GAMER, whether or not they own that particular system, commenting on how it affected gaming as a WHOLE and how they might be able to overcome the bad press.
They didn't wave the "issue" at hand at the owner of the competitors system. They were very respectful, making me feel very ashamed to see what I see on this site. Both sides love to pick apart a game frame by frame to see flaws. If you're going to do that you might as well become a game designer and work for the company you so passionately advertise for.
Oh and I know there's some smart a$$ out there who will comment on why I come to this site and that I should just leave. I come to this site at my work(I hate my job) for comic relief. The crap that fan boys say to each other is simply hilarious. You guys really do brighten my day sometimes, but most often I just go straight to the articles and avoid the comments as its mostly negative.
Oh and I've come to the conclusion that bubbles don't really matter anymore. Take 'em away or give 'em. Its like I could post 20 meanigful comments, or logical ones, and still not make a dent in this hate that people post. Oh SONY PLEASE don't screw up nothing or have any problems because your fan boys just gave 360 fans reason to bash you when the time comes. Thus the cycle continues... I think both sides should shut up. One side has a console with games but a system that may fail so they won't be able to play games. The other side has a nice console that they rarely play because they really don't have any AAA games. So really...you guys arent that much different. In the end you both end up not playing crap. You're both just "JUMPING" in to wait "BEYOND!!" One side to get their system back(like me) and the other side for an AAA game(i think Ratchet and Clank will do it). Good night.

[Snukadaman]

it does get ridiculous on both sides, and you can see who are the people who talk sheit and who are the people that talk from the heart after awhile. enjoy.

[Jdoki]

Any chance you could let me know what the site was you were on? :)

I could do with some mature conversation about gaming.

All this fanboy ranting does nothing to show the gaming industry as anything but full of immature haters.

[KoolMan]

I don't know if is your first time but when you buy a game or what ever item you get a damn receipt letting you know you have 30 days to return item.

[RINGOFDEATH]

cheap products,but still you dummies buy from microsoft,you guys still don't learn,you should know by now they always rush things and make you waste your money to buy them over and over again,microsoft is sucking your money like taking candy from a baby.

[KoolMan]

Play free or Die Hard

[Bathyj]

Well yesterday I did ask "Whats next?"

I wonder whats next tommorrow.

Does anyone thing overcompression could have anything to do with this? Obviously not the scratched disks but the read errors on suppossedly fine disks. There are 2 different problems here.

[kenjix]

So how does M$ get to 10 million units you ask? Sell 33% of the fanboys faulty hardware and they'll keep buying every iteration of the hardware in the hopes that this one won't fail, LOL!

How to keep the Halo 3 numbers running, make defective discs, M$ knows the fans won't wait for a disc replacement, instead they'll go buy another version so they don't have to wait.

I know this is just another rip on xboys, but it's getting way too easy now. I mean CMON, when was the last time you bought something from a company that had this many issues that can't be explained, and you just keep buying more and more and more, it's the exact opposite of rational/logical.

Halo 3 is getting ripped:

- Over Hyped reviews
- 640p native resolution
- remastered bonus videos no redone in HD
- Graphics not on par with a xbox game that came out a year ago
- Scratched disc if you purchased a special package version of the game
- Bungie defending dated graphics
- Game sites having to defend their scores now that the gamers are disagreeing after having played.
- Short(Supposedly Epic) single player campaign.

I mean if I were to sell you a car that is guaranteed to break, you would all still buy it. I'm in the wrong business. I need to start selling a bag of crap that says M$/Halo, I would make a fortune I tell you a FORTUNE!

[BIGBAER]

There's almost as many players playing Halo 3 right now as total amount of Lair copies sold!

In fact, there have been as many Halo 3 matches played in the last 24hrs. as there have been Playstation 3's SOLD WOLDWIDE! Dude, quit blowin' smoke outta yer @ss, your save-Sony smokescreen isn't working.

HALO 3 Stats:

Halo 3 Players Online: 65,659

Unique Players (Last 24 Hours): 1,482,087

Matches Logged (Last 24 Hours): 4,382,725

UNSC Campaign Kill Count: 927,121,451

http://www.bungie.net/defau...

I've got over 30 hrs. of gameplay from my copy of Halo 3. No problems. I have to say Halo 3 is the most fun and most engaging game I've ever played! The replay value is immense--and that's just for the single player campaign. Multiplayer is insanely fun. I'll be playing this for years.

Oh, and respect to all the civil Sony fans out there.

[Vip3r]

They're getting no sympathy from me. With all the hype and Sony bashing with the "Halo 3 pwns all" crap, revenge is best served on a cold plate. This may teach all the 360 fanboys to be more modest about your games because it will only come back to haunt you.

[WilliamRLBaker]

im not having a problem, I've beat the campaign like 10 times so far.

[Munky]

How is the ending different if you beat it on Legendary? I beat it on Heroic lastnight, thought the ending was going to have a lot more to it then it did.

[WilliamRLBaker]

when i was playing legendary after the 7 hours, I got impatient when it has that lil bungie message cause that thing stays up for like 30s to a minute, and i pushed A hoping it would skip to the next part, and it skipped the entire ending *cries* but I've beaten it on easy, and normal and heroic but cant see any difference between the endings so i dont think it has an secret ending if you beat it on legendary...

I think the lil tidbit after the credits is way too love story between corty and chiefy.

[kenjix]

How short is the Single Player? It's been out for 96 hours and the game is supposed to have an 8 hour single player game so 80 hours with 16 for sleeping. eating etc....? Playing Halo might be your problem, do you have a girl or friends or anything outside of a master chief poster and probably a helmet you've modified to fit your head?

[WilliamRLBaker]

dude learn a thing called being sarcasim, I wasn't being serious which is why i said, LIKE 10 times so far, Did I say exactly 10 times? no i said LIKE 10 times, I.E kind of like, you know maybe? somewhat? these are all english words widely used.

I've beaten it quite a few times, I've beat it on legendary, Then easy, then normal then heroic, I'm going back to normal so as to find the skulls and terminals and get my achievements for those then im gonna play legendary again with as many skulls turned on so as to get 15,000 points on the campaign.

I purchased the game at 12 oclock thursday night, Went home and played throught legendary in 7 or so hours.

[IRONMAN_X57]

cry your halo 2.5 is a flop and you cant except it, stop b*tchin and get over it

[WilliamRLBaker]

Lets see 194m$ in 24 hours in america alone.
94.8% via gaming rankings and it would have 95% if the stupid foreign magazines and unknowns hadn't given it low scores to make names for them selves.

http://www.metacritic.com/g...
95 of 100 on metacritic based on 39 reviews.

LOL so if its a flop then its better then all ps3 games:)

[IRONMAN_X57]

you take opinion over fact, lets get real buddy, of course it would make that much, legendary crap 130$ with the regular 60$, come on now dont bring a review in so once again xbots look at reviews and dont play the game while us ps3 owners play the games and enjoy them

MUST SUK TO BE AN XBOT

[WilliamRLBaker]

atleast I know how to use reply, its easy go to your own post click reply see easy:)

*laughs hard* lalal I own an Wii.
*laughs harder* I own an 360 lalala.
*laughs hardest* I own an ps3 lalalala!

Oh and guess what:) ITS A FACT halo 1 has sold more and got higher scores then any ps3 game, ITS FACT halo 2 scored higher and sold more then any ps3 game, ITS fact halo 3 has sold more and got higher scores then any ps3 game:) lol hell halo 3 has sold half as many units as the ps3 it self!

[HeartlesskizZ]

I swear some people think they are part of Bungie so they got the need to play and only say Halo is the best.

More Gaming less Flaming.

[Meus Renaissance]

We have the same story already on N4G. It's over 1000%

[BIadestarX]

Once again... no I don't have any of these problems.. I must be a lucky one.. no RROD, no freeze... no scratch... no problem..

[Meus Renaissance]

The issue here is that it has happened to SOME people. So by announcing that you have had no problems is of little relevance to the actual story; it's not like anyone is claiming that Halo 3 will guarantee to hurt your console.

It seems to be a random issue, isolated to random individuals. Just because it hasn't happened to you or someone you know does not mean it hasn't happened to any of the other 10million Xbox 360 owners.

[BIadestarX]

and what do you want me to do? Panic? follow the SOny fanboy pattern and go crazy.. cursing microsoft and the xbox 360? get rid of my xbox 360 and get a PS3?

"little relevance to the actual story" and this store is little relevance to the mayority of xbox 360 owners in this site.. that have to hear sony fanboys constanly blowing these "isolated to random individuals" in order to promote the PS3.

Look around... look at the people here that have an xbox 360 and Halo 3... do you see this problem on most of them? No... so why are Sony fanboys publishing so many articles about this?

[PS360WII]

this is amazing! So any news about a game that may freeze one's xbox and all the xbox peeps say it's Sony's fault. Maybe an xbox person posted this to warn you to watch out. Cyber keeps talking about blind lemmings but you guys are also turning a blind eye. Saying well my 360 I got at launch still works... well you're one guy and the failure rate is ~25% it doesn't effect everyone. Way to just not believe in anything other than how awesome you are!

For my copy of Halo 3 I never got a disk reading error but my save file is never there. So when I want to stop playing the campaign I need to make sure I just finished a chapter rather than be in the middle of one cuz I won't be able to continue. Small deterrence but I can admit it!

[test123123]

I have limited Edition (Metal case) I don't have any issues at moment. Hope everything is fine .

[headblackman]

im not having this trouble. keeps your sh.t in the case and stop gettign it scratched up and you wont have the skipping or freezing prob.

[HeartlesskizZ]

I cant believe people still wont "Believe" is a fact is having problems of running smooth.
Call Microsoft and ask them your self.

[Relientk77]

i think its funny how the 360s biggest title is having soo many problems lol

[Jinxstar]

The amount of fighting on these forums never ceases to amaze me...

[Jinxstar]

Also for the record. We need to teach this kid a thing or 2 about tripods. Maybe he has a nervous disorder or something. Can't hold the camera to save his life.

[Daytona]

And sony trolls please stop w/the lies, "this is my 3rd disk", please.

God I hate lies.

[jackdoe]

That sucks. Just bought the game today. Hope it doesn't happen to me.

[Primetimebt]

Well it froze up on me today and brick my 360. I even grabbed the video camera out on the third one and watch as the 360 got the 3 rings. Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[ASSASSYN 36o]

My halo LE runs perfect on my launch xbox 360.

[Laexerias]

THIS BUG IS EASY TO KILL! B/ If its the same i got.

TAKE OF THE HARD DISC DRIVE, AND ITS NO PROBLEM. :D

MANY GAMES GOT THIS BUG, DUNNO WHY! xD

[pshizle]

this did not happen =)

[ALMIGHTYPS3]

SCRATCHIES/FREEZIES/640/NONFUL LSCREEN HD/RROD:

[gsx-r]

I hear more and more reasons I'm glad I didnt buy Halo 2.1

[s1lv3rw0lf]

mine hasn't froze up at all.

[Bertsura]

3rd copy? No wonder Halo 3 sold so many.
