Gears of war possible problem

[M0T]

I have noticed with gears of war everything loads up with really poor ps1 style textures and then slowly over the course of the next minute or so they gradually sharpen up.

Also a few times when I have joined co-op games on the net textures have just not loaded at all and I have ended up being able to see through walls (but the player models didn't load either so it didn't help).

Is this just a bug with the game or do I have a problem elsewhere?

I was thinking it might be the disc drive since it seems to go mental in GOW, but if its not just me it must be a game bug.

in what way does it go mental ? i find gow to be quieter than other games i have, in terms of disc noise

Its constantly accessing the drive during GOW, you can hear it going.

I have a launch 360 and I read somewhere that they are known for having noisy dvd drives.
