Just wondering if anyone else is having the problem of the game failing part way through the 3rd chapter? (Disc unreadable - the disc is fine, happened to a fresh, just opened copy) I've had two copies of the game and on both copies it freezes in EXACTLY the same place, yet all my other games work? It's the same for the multiplayer, It will not load the game. I've tried installing it to the Hard drive and it still comes up disc unreadable.

I've had two, brand new copies of the game fail on the same place and am now beginning to wonder whether I am either cursed or just unlucky...or maybe GAME has receive a faulty batch?

Does anyone know of this problem, or has anyone had this problem?

and if discussion is lacking, Do you like cats?

Hrm.
I ran through the game on one disc, and multiplayer appears to be working fine. All other discs works you say? Have you tried cleaning the reader, or inspecting the disk?
Have you tried using a friend's box to verify it was the disc?
Best I can think of is to create a save before the event, and show the issue to an employee at . Ask for full-value trade-in/refund. Be polite about it.

I've tried it on 3 different xbox's. I've also already traded one copy in, as it done the same on the previous disc. As for the condition of the disc, it is fine. it was a brand new copy, straight from the wrapping and it still came up disc unreadable and even when done with it installed to the hard drive. :(

Well then, maybe try a different store? quite possibly that they did got a faulty batch of copies.
And yes, cats are cute.

There's no other store in close proximity. GAME is the only store for about 12 miles :(
Am going to take it back and get another copy if that fails I'm going to ask for a full cash refund.

Third copy of the game, yet still no success :(
Really quite odd my freind :/

Considering its your 3rd copy, its probably your laser.

I know its wierd, but play it with the Xbox standing up, or vice versa depedant on which way around you have it standing. I had a similar problem.

have you tried updating the FW?
if that doesn't work you can try calling customer service (both of the HF publisher and Microsoft)

I lent this copy and the last too a friend and it froze on EXACTLY the same spot on his xbox too. I can play every other game, just not homefront lol I think the store must have a faulty batch, because even when the game is installed to the hard drive, it still comes up disc unreadable...sad face :(

Maybe it's something to do with your region? It's really quite odd.

And what's not to like about cats?

I think it's just a bad batch, I'm taking it back AGAIN and going to purchase a copy from another store...hopefully that should solve the problem. If not, I may have to burn a puppy.

no, no, no...I've played up to chapter 3, that's where it freezes and dies and i can play the online for about an hour or until a specific map comes up, but after having this short experience with it I can tell you it is an OUTSTANDING GAME. The few people who dislike it are either Call of duty fanboys or people that can't put 2 and 2 together.

The story ( as far as i have gotten too ) is immense. Trust me, if you have the money spare it IS worth a buy. If it was terrible, do you think I'd have gone through the trouble to get 3 copies to try and get it to work? lol

It's worth picking up, one of the few "FPS" games that focuses on story, as in characters and how they are affected, some deep character development. I was genuinely impressed. Now all i need to do is be able to finish the damn thing lol

This exactly. Based on the trailers I've seen for the game though, it could be that you're not killing enough Koreans. If you are killing a lot of them, try tea-bagging them while screaming the pledge of allegiance.

joking aside: I have no idea what the problem is...and I do like cats
