Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 locking up?

The Official Xbox forum thread is attracting attention: M3ATPUPPET reported a couple of days ago that his Xbox 360 locks up “semi-frequently” while playing Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. Five pages later, replies to the thread are mixed: some report lockups at different points in the game, others report flawless playing.

They also seem to have different DVD drive setups (which might contribute to the lockup – or maybe not). Other games work fine – including sister Ubisoft title Rainbow Six: Vegas. Multiplayer also seems to be running without a hitch, according to many of the reports. Hopefully Ubisoft is keeping tabs on these reports and are working on a solution.

So far, reading through the thread, they seem to suggest that early/launch 360s, and with Hitachi–LG drives, are more prone to locking up with GRAW 2, if that helps.
