Hello.
As this seems to be the forum to lodge bug reports, I’d like to take the time to point out that campaign checkpoints in Halo 2 Anniversary are NOT working as they should be. There is no way to resume a mission from a saved checkpoint after exiting the mission, you’re simply forced to play said mission all the way from the beginning.
The larger issue, however, seems to be the fact that checkpoints run a 50/50 chance of crashing the game completely. This has made the game fairly unplayable as I can no longer complete a mission without this bug occurring, and coupled with the fact that checkpoints don’t save mission progress this means that I am constantly stuck having to replay a mission over from the beginning.

I got this game for the campaigns and all the focus on fixing the MM bugs seems to be burying the campaign issues. They’re very frustrating, but we’ll have to be patient.
By Christmas 2015 this game will be fixed.
Experiencing the same issue. Every time I save/quit, the game ends up putting me at the beginning of the level instead of the last checkpoint I saved at. Didn’t notice this in Halo 1, but it’s definitely an issue with #2. Haven’t tried 3 or 4 yet, so don’t know if this is just isolated to 2 or if it’s an issue in the other games as well.
343 should just recall every copy of Halo MCC and just fix the game.
It literally didn’t even save any of my legendary progress from yesterday and I got all the achievements but when I turned on my xbox it didn’t show any progress which was infuriating after beating the whole game…
This was literally the only reason I had for buying a Xbox One, and since I have a time limit on how long I can wait until I return it, really hoping this gets addressed within the next week, otherwise I’m sending the console and the MCC back. $400 is just too much to spend for something that prevents me from playing the game.
I am also currently experiencing this issue on Halo 2 A. Also the game now completely freezes for me at the first Gondola section on the Delta halo mission. After clearing the adjacent gondola of enemies I get the checkpoint only for the game to crash, kicking me right back out to the xbox dashboard (one time it even reset my xbox randomly) I’m not one to normally complain but frankly I’m very disappointed at the quality level this game has shipped in. A number of issues on single player really need addressing (As well as MP which is obviously well documented by this point) as soon as possible. I love the halo games, I’ve been a fan for many years and was really excited about MCC but this whole issue has soured my enjoyment hugely. I see no point continuing with the game untill this collection is patched thoroughly. 343i if you are reading these posts please adress the situation re the halo 2 A campaign. Thank you.
It happens to me every time. I have to finish the whole level or it doesn’t save its frustrating given the length of some levels. I hope this is fixed soon!
I have the same issues as the op
same here. Halo CE would save and let me resume at every checkpoint. Halo 2 forces me to start the level from the beginning if I need to quit in the middle of it. Is this a bug? or just part of Halo 2?
It was never a part of the original game. This is something endemic (and yes, this issue is STILL causing my game to completely crash) to the MCC.
Giving this a nice friendly bump to the top of the forums so that 343i knows that this issue is still persisting and doesn’t seem to be included in the fixes coming with the patch tomorrow.
Came here to post about this and saw a thread already made. Yeah I’m on Cairo Station and am headed toward the bomb and I saved and quit to go eat and when I came back it put me at the cutscene with Johnson, Chief and Miranda at the very beginning. Something is very wrong here.
Didn’t see anything hinting at a fix in the patch notes released for today’s update, unless I missed something. I hope its fixed soon. I did manage to finish the game without checkpoint saves but I want to go for achievements and don’t want to without saves. I really want it to be fixed. Its so annoying to have to restart, or to have the game crash when quiting.
This is the most pressing bug in the game. It should be a top priority fix

Yeah, it doesn’t look like it will be addressed in the upcoming patch. Hopefully soon. I’m almost done playing through H2A, but it’s been a pain to have to play through every mission all the way through just to make sure my game data isn’t lost.

Yea I’m having the same freakin issue. I was tired at 1m tonight before work tomorrow so I “saved” and quit on gravemind. Just got beam canon too. Restarted out of curiosity, back at gravemind. I was so pissed. 90mins on heroic totally wasted. Fix your game 343. I am patient for halo but unity wasn’t lucky. Got a full refund on it. Needless to say may not touch 2 for awhile. That’s inexcusable. I expected a save at checkpoint like ce but I got screwed. This game should have 5/5 on amazon but due to bugs its a 3/5 Lucky I am playing campaigns first or I would have gotton a refund by now.
Thought I’d await the update / patch before playing any more H2A so started on H3 Legendary. can’t pick up the first skull so can’t play that either as no going all the way through on Legendary to have to back again for Skulls.
I already got a refund from Xbox.com on the back of broken MM but my son will be so disappointed that I went and purchased again. Even Campaigns don’t work.
Might as well play Reach, ODST, 3 and 4 on 360 at least we know what to expect with these.
