Halo 2 graphics issue on Xbox 360

Hey ... I decided to fire up my copy of Halo 2 on my Xbox 360, and I'm running into an odd problem. Occasionally, frames of light or shadows will artifact on the screen, remaining until there is a major change in lighting levels or there is a loading section. Sometimes the frame comes back, even if I'm well ahead of the area where it started, or even on another level altogether. This is the first time I'm playing this particular game on a 1080p monitor (using component cables). Any ideas what's causing this, or how to remove it, since the effect does get distracting during gameplay. Thanks.

Wow, I've seen this. This is a bug in the Backwards Compatibility emulation for Halo 2. It's not a problem with your console or your Halo 2 disc. Unfortunately, not all games on the B.C. list work flawlessly. Another game that comes to mind is Ninja Gaiden Black. Slow, choppy framerate issues. And don't expect a fix for this. Backwards Compatibility updates are a thing of the past now. MS cut support for that. And oddly enough, around the same time MS stopped supporting the B.C. list, Xbox Originals hit the Xbox Live scene. You can buy those games again through a digital download and not have any problems... :roll: Good thing I still have my original Xbox.DJ_Magneto
