Halo 4 - Campaign doesn't work.
Halo 4 - Campaign doesn't work.
Hey everyone,
I searched for this topic and found nothing. If a thread has already been created for this issue please point me to it.
I have Halo 4, installed disk 2 and cannot get the campaign to work.
When I select campaign, the starting cut scene plays and then I am sent back to the menu. When I restart campaign and select the save point just after the opening cut scene, it still plays the initial cut scene and then sends me back to the menu.
I have found threads on the Halo support forum mentioning this issue which seems to be only with some original and Elite 360s. I tried deleting all the updates and Halo 4 related files and reinstalling them and that didn't work. I tried removing the hard drive and not signing in to Xbox Live and playing that way and that did not work either. I tried installing the game to the hard drive and I get "disk is damaged or dirty" error messages. There is no problem with the disk as I used it on another xbox without issue. Also, multiplayer plays without a problem.
Other games also play and install with no issue as well.
Has this been addressed by Microsoft?
Are there any other fixes or work arounds I have not tried?
Thanks!

Did you see this?
that does not say WHO to send it to. It just says "send us the following information". They left out the details of who to send it to. Xbox support tried to point me into that direction with my issue. So unless you want to comb over 200 pages of forum posts, you can try posting your info in that thread with a discription.
I did try installing to the hard drive but I get an error message saying that the disk is damaged or is dirty. It is not because it works just fine on other consoles.
I found the thread.

They want you to reply to the thread with the requested info. I have done so.
Thanks!
I've discovered new developments on this.
I borrowed a different Halo 4 disk from a friend. His disk would work as expected. The disk that would not work in my xbox works fine in his. I used his disk to install the game to my xbox hard drive. Using my disk then the game would sometimes work and sometimes not. Everything pointed towards the xbox not reading the disk properly.
When I have the Halo 4 disk in the drive when I turn on the xbox the disk will not read properly. When I have the drive empty when I turn on the xbox it will not read the disk. However, when i have some other game in the drive and then eject the disk and insert the Halo 4 disk it will launch and play normally.
All other games load and play normally.
It just gets weirder and weirder.
