My son has just started playing half-life 2 on the orange box for the Xbox 360 after having played it on the PC. On the PC, he was able to scroll to the crowbar and use it easily. However, on the Xbox 360 version it seems to ignore d-pad down inputs which look like they would presumably access the crowbar since that's the bottom weapon depicted when invoking the weapons menu by selecting another weapon.

The crowbar does become automatically selected as soon as he runs out of ammo, but he is unable to change to it manually.

The controllers d-pad works fine otherwise, so I'm at a loss as to what's going on. That's why I'm thinking bug or perhaps corrupt disk.

It would be strange if that's the only thing that would be wrong with the disk though, especially since I bought it new.

So is there something glaringly obvious that I'm missing here, or is something wrong?

Any help from the community will be appreciated.
 
*wonders*

I've played it on the 360 too but I didn't get anything like that...

Maybe you accidently changed the controls via Options or one of your friends did as a practical joke, check that first.
