When trying to play certain game types on online multiplayer on halo reach or original xbox games, it keeps saying player doesnt have a hardrive which he needs to play this game mode, but i have 4gb hard drive and 3gb still free?!

Some XBox games have both a 360 and original XBox version, so you can't play them on the 360. Other games simply aren't compatible. Your game may fall into one of those two groups.

If you actually purchased only the ODST game you will not be able to play anybody in Halo 3 online. You will still actually need the Halo 3 disc to play multiplayer online.

battlefield bad company 2 servers got knocked offline due to the persons who are running the servers for BF 3 hence new game comes off they dont care about the old...
for fifa 11 online should still work for Fut and multiplayer. however updated rosters arent updated really..... there are small number of players playing these games due to fifa 12 and BF 3 comming out...

Yes, you need xbox live Gold for online multiplayer gaming.

Does it show the disk when you load it. Like is it just saying tray open. What model 360 do you have. I know if you have the ones without a hard drive you cant play certain parts of the game. Like multiplayer. I think even the campaign, but I could be wrong. If your xbox is saying tray open when you load the game. Your probably getting hardware error. Happened to my old one. If you have other games try and load them. See if this is only happening with Halo Reach.

Hi. Your son most likely bought the Gold membership to XBOX Live thinking that it was an XBOX Live Gold Family Pack. A single Gold membership costs $59.99 USD. An XBOX Live Gold Family Pack costs $99.99 USD. With the family pack, you get four 12-month Xbox LIVE Gold memberships for less than the price of two. Two players cannot use a single Gold membership, but if they play on the same console, then two players could share one membership. Also, certain games, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops and Halo:Reach allow players to play online multiplayer games together with one "guest" player at the same time, on the same TV. I hope this cleared everything up.

you can play multiplayer on your shape but it is only online not side by side due to the wide range of movement necessary for compliance with the kinect. Unfortunatly it's not possible with this game unless your online with a buddy.

sorry but only a hand full of original xbox games like halo 2 are compatible with the xbox 360.

This sounds similar to what happened to me, except I couldn't load some multiplayer maps.

If you know someone that recently bought Halo 3,(within a week) ask him/her to return it with your defective game in the case. He/she will receive a new unopened Halo 3, and you can take your friend's recently opened copy of Halo 3.

If you don't want to be cheapskate, you can borrow Halo 3 from a friend, and save it on your hard drive. After that, you can use your defective disc just to play the game. Unfortunately, if you save it on your hard drive, it supposedly makes the game slower when searching for multiplayer matches online, and other things.

If you don't care about saving money, you could buy another copy of Halo 3.

sure you need to have 2 xboxes 2 halos and 2 tv's and system lynk cord tada!
