Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Halo 4 Campaign is broken for me

So another Marine let me borrow his copy of Halo 4 and I decided to give at least the campaign a shot because, despite the fact that I'm not a huge fan of Microsoft consoles or their games, I still do kindof enjoy the Halo storyline. I put the disc in, play through the prologue, and enjoy what I'm playing, until I get past the prologue and am forced back to the main menu. Okay, no biggie. I go into Campaign, try to select the next level, greeted to the slowest load time I've ever seen, before the game finally tells me that I lack the DLC to continue and won't let me do anything. WTF? I try different before finally going online and looking up the problem, only to find that this is a large scale issue that most owners have experienced. On top of that, 343 has yet to fix it or even adress it. 

Seriously, WTF Microsoft? I just wanted to try the game SP out because I heard good things about it, and this is what I get? There's no way in hell I'm giving up $60 of my hard earned money just to play one game online (and frankly, I don't care for any 360 game's online, period), so I guess I'm just gonna pop right back onto my PS3. 

I know this is old news, but the fact that it is old news just makes things worse. You'd think a game that has sold almost 9 million copies would have a functioning SP. If anyone can help me with this, I'd appreciate it.

Dam that sucks, sorry don't know how to fix it.

 Yeah, that was actually where I found out that this was an issue affecting a lot of people. I read through it, but there's no solutions. I'm just surprised at how a game this popular can be out for almost a year and have an issue like that. I'm just gonna go back to playing some Starhawk. ;)

Thanks for the help though.

That is really alarming if there is no fix for this. I know I'd be mad if something like this happened to me.

Try a different copy of the game?

If it doesn't work then that is the best you can do! It seriously sucks that so many people spent their money on the game and got a broken game...

Wow I didn't even know that was a thing. Sorry to hear that. I would suggest getting a hold of MS and inform them of the issue so that maybe they will send your buddy a new copy. Btw, what model of xbox 360 are you using?



The campaign I felt was broken for many reasons including what the OP has stated.
I hated the fact that the Elites were no longer on your side. They joined you at the end of Halo 2 & they were on your side for the entirety of Halo 3.
343 studios really destroyed the legacy Bungie created.

That is all.

No offense the game doesn't even cost 60 anymore 29.99 for a new copy or 10-15 bucks for a used copy.

 I borrowed this copy, and there's no way I'd buy the game myself. I don't even own a 360, currently. Plus, I wouldn't even know if that copy would work. I've read of people having the same issue on multiple copies. 

Either way, it's not a huge deal. I have a backlog of PS games, so I'll just keep playing that.
