James got a letter. From a dead person. Oh dear.

The glitch is very possible, and makes sense to me.
I personally played on hard an ended up wacking PH with a pipe and he pushed me towards the elevator.. I ran at the end cause it took such a long time xD

So all in all i hant witnessed the glitch, but it's very likely.

Yeah, but you could be both a fan of Silent Hill and a compulsive liar. I'm not implying that you are; the glitch you described may or may not have happened, and whether or not it did doesn't matter.
Ya, I know. I just like to think that Silent Hill fans aren't like that. Most of them, anyway.

She kept on dying, so I told my friend to turn off her flashlight and radio and unequip her gun. I thought it would help at least make her run faster. For some reason though, Maria disappeared from the whole chase sequence and it was just James being chased by Pyramid Head. She shows up in the last cutscene though, so obviously this glitch helped my friend out immensely. Has anybody else had this glitch?

I apologize if this has been brought up before.
I remember a glitch FAQ talking about something like this. Personally I have had Maria disappear and reappear after I enter a door before.

This is exactly what I had to do. I made it worse for myself by aiming for the Maria Ending, as well (i.e. I couldn't let her get hit, especially by PH), so I was smacking him with the pipe all the way to the elevator. I was especially anxious when it came to corners.

For that reason, I haven't played SH2 on Hard since then. :P Certainly wouldn't have minded a glitch like that happening to me, in hindsight.

Never heard of the glitch. Pretty weird. I always loved that in that scene you first think: "OMG, run, James, run!!!!" But when he catches up, he doesn't even try to kill you. He just walks in place. Well, at least that only happened in my game. Not sure if that's what supposed to happen.

Aren't the monsters also attracted by noise? Like gunshots and running , radio static ect...

To the OP, this glitch has happened to me before, when I played the game for the very second or third time.

I always try to get Maria to run ahead of me even though I know what will happen.
