360 killed my copy of Call of Duty 2!

Well, not in the way you might think.

I was quite happily playing Call of Duty 2 over XBOX Live untill I noticed a strange change of disk speed, a slow whirring, followed by a methodical ticking, I went pale....

I've had my 360 oriented upright for a while now, no problems, no scratches, but my copy of CoD 2 has a small fracture on the inner ring of my disk, it still half-works, but after running for about 5 minutes, the disk grinds to a halt, resulting in no sound in games.

I may be one of very very few with this problem, but if you want my advice, have your 360 laying flat!

Anyway, lets clarify some things. You don't really say this happened and so this resulted to my disc. You say how you noticed a change in disc speed, and then you end that sentence and start a seperate one and say you disc has a crack in it but it still can play.

So did your disc already have a crack in it or did it get the crack after this little incident. And I didn't know that if a disc stopped spinning that the sound would just be gone and not the whole game.

My playstation2 did that. When i'd try and load a game the disc speed would go crazy and then I'd hear a tick and it would stop and then attempt to spin the disc again and it would tick and stop.

is it comprehensible.....

THey say you should not keep your X-box up right.

i wouldn't automatically for fear of it falling over and the disc insertion always seem made for a horizontal position. I don't even like my computer modem standing up.

Plus the location I put my systems is more fitted for a horizontal position.

is it comprehensible.....

Is there one freakin single Xbox 360 that's not defective. Jesus.

even the PS2 did not have so many problems.

I've heard many reports of 360's wrecking game discs....I'm not surprised.

don't put your xbox up right leave it flat, but come on the xbox 360 isn't that bad is it?

Mine hasn't had one problem, I've had it since launch day. I've kept it upright the whole time too.

No freezing, no scratches on disks, nothing.

Actually this was what I was thinking. What other way can one interpret this.

I was referring to the fact that Call of Duty still kinda works.

What do you think? I was explaining the event as it happened, I heard the sound, removed the disk, discovered the crack.

So I didn't write it in a manner that made sense to you, it seems to make sense to everyone else who posted here.

If the disk was still spinning, I couldn't hear it, and 360s are rather loud when running games, so I noticed when my machine suddenly went quiet, it did indeed sound like the disk was no longer spinning.

Not necessarily. It depends on how the person treats the console as well as how it was made.

It's running perfect right now and I'll bet it still plays perfect a year from now.

*raises hand*

mine!!!

i've had it since the first launch and nothing is wrong with it at all or the games and everything runs smoothly with no over-heating or nothing.

The only reason why people would suggest keeping your 360 vertial besides maybe to take up less space is that it can vent better...but that would depends where you keep it at.

I keep mine in a wide open space. ✅

The only problem I have with my 360 is the power cord, it's too big and clunky.

I keep mine laying horizontal on top pf my other xbox's...which probably isnt the best place for it but there's no room anywhere else...lol. I just like how they made the 360 so if you have a hard drive you can put your songs onto it and listen to music with any game youre playing and not just specific ones like with the first xbox.

Whoa, your xbox messed up your disc, not me, just wanted to clarify it better for myself.

Mine is in its own cabinet in the living room entertainment center. 😄
