last night went to play c.o.d and the strangest thing happened. it came up with load error this disc is dirty. So i tried it a few times same thing. i also have the game installed on the hd. Tried it again this morning all was fine and dandy. low and behold it happened to three of my m8s at work about the same time. neither of us could get it to load last night.

how bizarre did this happen to anybody else.

It could be a few things. 1) the disk is damaged. Check the center hole on the CD for cracks. 2) CDs have multiple layers, A laser needs to penetrate theses layers using different voltages. If the lens is even the slightest bit dirty, It cannot get to the information stored in the deeper layers, so it could be a dirty or even a bad laser entirely. This is one of the more common reasons a game will freeze at the same point every time or simply wont load. Thats the best I can do with out seeing it for myself. sorry.

This happened to everybody when they switched off the douple XP weekend. People who were playing when it got switched off could stay on but new players could not boot the game. It didnt last long though!
