Why will original Halo 1 and Halo 2 not play on 360?

I was really bored today and felt like playing the original Halo games to get ready for Reach in the fall.

So i put in Halo 1 and to my surprise I got a message saying. Could not play.Please download again. Why is this happening? You don't need to download a game that you have on a disc??!!?!?

Then I tried Halo 2 which is not on games on demand. Same message. doesn't work. WTF

Why is this?? Thanks

I have both and they work fine on mine. I agree it's either your 360, the game disks, or lack of a hard drive.

idk, i just play those on pc...but halo 2 is hilarious on pc because they kept it the same as the xbox so it says "press 'B' to go back" lol

Sounds like you need a firmware update. Just hook your Xbox into the the I/N somewhere turn it on and let it do the update shouldn't take more than just a few minutes.
