Microsoft say they are ‘aware’ that there are problems with Halo: Reach. A number of fans have found that their Xbox 360 will not read the disc at all and according to one unsubstantiated post on MaxConsole there are ‘queues’ of people at stores waiting to exchange discs. Microsoft say they are currently investigating and are ‘looking to address the problem.’
In a separate issue, owners of an Xbox 360 without a hard drive – including the new slim models – have found that they cannot play the co-op mode and Firefight as a hard drive is required for his feature. Apparently the 4GB flash drive in the 360 S is not recognised by Reach as a hard drive. Microsoft say they are working on a fix for this as well.

Surprised that they’ve let their years biggest title release with such issues. A shame but it appears Microsoft are right on top of it.

Letting your biggest release since Halo 3 out the door with so many issues coming out doesn’t look good, but it’s not like it affects me so I can’t complain really.
It’s funny, usually I’d have little good to say about Halo nowadays, but I was convinced into doing a playthrough of Reach with some mates a couple of days ago, and after the first three or four missions, the game is actually getting pretty damn good. Mission 6(Or was it 7? The space based one) was easily one of the best co-op experiences I’ve had with an FPS. Really well put together.
After ODST, I was pretty down on this game from the off, but I’m happy to admit I was wrong about it. It is very nice, easily the best Halo game since the first.

Sure a few problems will always slip through, but a problem this bad on the system’s biggest game? Oops indeed.
