    Whenever I try going to a certain are in the game, it freezes. I have absolutely no idea why it would do this. The only time it freezes is when I try to go to this location. the location is the Jefferson Memorial.I must go to this place to continue on the main quest.

    EDIT 2: It may be a problem with the saved game file,. I have got a new disc and the problem is still there. I played it on another person's xbox with my HD.



    Can anyone help?

    Obviously, you did not read my entire post. Looking at the disc, no scratches are visible.

    o dear. i had this problem only a week after i bought it.
    the bloody thing froze at 2 locations, galaxy news radio and oasis.
    very strange i thought.
    then i got the red rings of death for the 3rd time!!!
    if i were u i would replace the game because it is a problem with the disc.
    people are having this problem all over the net.
    hope this helps. gd luck. :)

    I had a similar problem, except it would freeze randomly, regardless fo where i was.

    When I downloaded it to my HDD all problems vanished.

    Happened to me too.

    But it might be my Xbox, as I think my Xbox is getting RROD... but it isn't official yet. :/

    guys what ive already said.
    its a common problem with the game.
    look it up on the net.
    or replace the games and save urself the constant hassle.

    Just download the thing to your hard drive. This same thing happened to me with fable ii but I'm not sure if it will help your game.

    It didn't work.

    I got new copy of the game.

    Guess what?

    It didn't fix the problem.
    Either it is the saved game file or the xbox.

    wow so new game did not help and u tryed downloading it to the game. it frezes every time u load it? try this i dont think it will work but u can try if u can get into the game for a few seconds resave the game in a diffrent slot or as a new save. doing this might fix the glich in the system but i dont think it will. but if u already got a new game what else is there to try.

    nvm: mis read. so it frezes everytime you gointo an area. i have no idea. im sorry =[

    My friend is having the same problem at this location, I have no idea why though. He didn't tell me what he did to get there so I think its just the disc itself. (I don't mean it being scratched, finger prints, etc.)

    Maybe you could see if it works on a friends xbox. If it works then it is a problem with you box, if it doesn't then it's just a bug in the game.

    it happened to me in a place right after an autosave, so it froze right away when i loaded. i had to just load a previous save file, and do everything again that i had done in the time before the freezing (it was like 5 hours).

    Check if you have the PAL or the NTSC version of the game. Maybe if the disc is PAL and your console is NTSC they might not be compatible and would freeze like that. Thats what happened to me. Somehow I purchased the PAL version of Gears 2, so it starts freezing and lagging. I don't know but that might be your problem.

    I had this problem too, but it was happening at all major locations. I returned the disc for a new one and all the problems I had disappeared. I was lucky I guess.
