After the foundry level, instead of the normal loading screen, the screen will go black.  Not completly black as if the video goes out, but black appearing like the xbox isnt outputting a signal.  However, if I press the xbox guide button the blade sides out from the left and then I can see the loading screen rather dim.

During the last minute of the level an explosion sound loops.  I've completed the level several times, both with sound on and off.

Anyone else?

Any solutions.  So far there is no update via xbox live.

I haven't gotten past Foundry yet so I couldn't tell you, but wow what an amazing looking game.

I had this same thing happen to me at the end of the second level, the one where you have to get to the farm. Very frustrating. Sound loop, then black loading screen that never finished loading. I could see it when I pressed the guide, but I eventually just had to quit out.

Seriously, does anyone know of a solution. I don't want to play through this level again and have the same thing happen (not such a big fan of the level).

is this still an issue, because i am thinking of buying this, and dont want to have to worry about this happening.

I had no freezing or crashing problems with my original Xbox disc version of Black.

I've just completed the second level and the damn thing froze on me...

I'm having the same problem. I finally got time off from work to play this game and now I'm just looking at a "black" screen. Microsoft should refund our points back!

What level are you guys having this problem on?

Same here.  Same level, same sound looping.  I was able to pause it once, then unpaused and the sound was still looping.  Went to pause again and it froze.  Definitely sucks...

Not sure I'm going to try replaying the level anytime soon as the level really isn't that fun.  Like you, I don't want to work on getting through the level again only to have it freeze once more.

Duluth, MN... Cold there eh?

i have the disc version and have played through it once with no frezzing what so ever. only 2 problem i had here n there where the slow down which is not a big deal since it dont last long and just makes it seem like its going in slow mo. that happen only 2 times the whole game the other problem is when i loaded up a level the screen was really dark only way to fix it was to re open ur saved file, it only happen 3 times was annoying but not worth me not keeping the game.

on the Foundry level i would hear a sound glitched...it would continually loop and that's what did it. Since it happened in the same spot twice I just turned the volume (in the game options) all the way down. I finished the level.... Now I can't finish the LAST level on Hard (to unlock black ops) because my guns disappear and I can no longer kill anyone. Microsoft...where are you and why do you keep *** your customers? I thought Windows was enough of a *** job...

haha...they ***'d out the word s c r e w.
