    Halo Wars downloads but won't launch


    Been trying to play halo wars on the ONE for a while now + have deleted it and downloaded it three times now. It keeps giving me the message saying that "If you're sure it's been released, restart your Xbox and launch it again. Otherwise, wait for the release
    date. (0x87e10007)" Any know how to fix this?

    :)

  5. hm. if you already own the digital version of this game it should have launched. if its the disc, I suggest cleaning the disc first and then using a lens cleaner for the system itself. might help there.

    verify that it is halo wars and not halo wars 2. ( I know it sounds stupid but I never leave any stone unturned) if its the disk version. try cleaning it and re-entering it in the system. let it do its thing. ( install) try launching it. if it gives you
    an error again. try doing a soft reset by holding down the power button for 10 seconds. the system should shut off. hold the button for about 5 seconds after the system powers off to reset the cache. (additional step if needed after system shuts down unplug
    the power supply and press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to drain all power of the system to reset the flash storage) power the system back up ( plug in power supply first if you took the extra step) and try accessing the game again

  8. Halo Wars downloads but won't launch

    Step 1 Once you've received your code thru messages from Xbox Live, sign in on your account on www.Xbox.com

    Step 2 Click on your name and go down to messages, open the message from xbox showing your code.

    Step 3 RIGHT CLICK the message where the code is and hit OPEN IN NEW TAB

    Step 4 Should pop up with the title and give you the option to redeem, then go to your xbox and over to the ready to install list and you should see Halo Wars Definitive Edition ready to install, make sure you start the installation as it's not automatic.

    Step 5 For PC, follow these steps then go into the Microsoft store on PC, go to Halo wars 2, download it, then click manage. There should be a list of things that shows and one will be HW DE with an option to download.

    shout out to /u/Yamaha234 for finding step 5

    Halo: CE

    Halo CE won't launch for me either.

    Downloaded Version

    360 Elite

    120GB

    When I launch it, it says Halo CE is unable to start and prompts me to download it again. I've cleared my cache, and re-downloaded the game 3 times now. Still won't launch. I know for a fact it isn't the hard drive because I've been playing the downloaded
    version on this same console for over a year now. It just recently has stopped working.

    Everytime I download something from my Download history I always get "Can't Download _____" (New xbox)

    Update: I am able to download more recent things like the Halo 4 war games pass, but older things won't always work. Why is that?

    Most Anticipated game of 2012

    It should be a next gen launch title anyway. Every system needs a killer app to launch with and Halo 4 would sell 1 to 1 with consoles guaranteed if it launched with the new Xbox.

    I see no reason to waste another Halo on the 360. You already have Halo 3, Halo Reach, Halo ODST, Halo Wars, Halo 1 Remake

    Next gen killing this gen?

    I would welcome Halo Wars 2 as a launch title with open arms!

    wtf

    So wtf indeed, especially with this information :

    "

    With the release of the new expansion and several months of updates to Halo Wars 2 since launch, the Ultimate Edition of the game will be replaced with Halo Wars 2: Complete Edition. The Complete Edition includes the base game, all Season Pass content and
    the Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare expansion, making this a great package for anyone who is looking to jump into the Halo Wars 2 experience.
