I don't really know about the 360, but if the disc was scratched, it would skip that part of the story, and the rest of it (I presume).

Do you still have the disc?

but i played it on the hard drive?

Yes but you still had to use the disk to transfer the game data onto the HDD

It can be the disc, have you tried restarting the game and see what happens?
Just the other day I was playing Bad Company but it was the games on demand version, so it was purely downloaded, and when I was playing online it gave me a dirty disc error twice even though I had no disc in my xbox at all since I was playing it from my hard drive.

I just restarted it and it hasn't given me the error since. I don't know what the problem was all about.

thinking of that i'll save my data to my memory stick just in case thx!

If there was a scratch before you copied the game, then it will save it as if the scratch was there (since it can't read that part). I've run into the same problem in one of the last levels of another game which is really frustrating.

One thing you can do if you are desperate is rent COD5, copy that version to your hard drive, then use your purchased version to start the game.
