Since the last update, Halo 2 legendary on MCC has been literally unplayable. It freezes on the beginning of the loading screen, and plays the “broken audio sound” that happens when a game is completely frozen.
I’ve tried everything, including playing different missions, taking skulls and scoring off, starting it in classic graphics. But the game just legitimately can’t load on legendary. Any other difficulty and it will correctly load.
Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?
Yeah I have been having the same issue with Halo: CE and there are many more people having the same problem with Halo 2, no one has really told us anything about whether its going to get fixed or not, so I guess we just have to hang tight.
Having the same issue with freezing and crashing but with the ODST LASO Non-Stop Action playlist. Freezes on the loading screen for Kikowani Station, broken audio sound cues and then a few seconds after the game crashes and I’m brought back to the Xbox dashboard. Praying it’s not due to a corrupt save file lol, but you guys experiencing this same issue reassures me that it’s due to an in-game glitch of some sort. Hopefully we hear back from 343 regarding this sooner than later.

Thank you. I’m considering deleting and reinstalling the game; I have a friend who just recently installed MCC and does not have this issue, so it’s possible a reset could work. I’ll keep you guys posted.
Same Issue, crashes at the loading screen for cairo station and onwards. The Heretic and Armory works fine. Reinstalling didn’t work.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice already and issue still stands as well. But there’s something that I have noticed, I looked at my campaign completion on my waypoint profile for Halo: CE, and the missions that crash do not show up on my waypoint completion record, they’re blank, while my other missions that load up perfectly show my time and score. Take note that I have played these missions before on legendary. Something to take into account for this bug, but I don’t know if this is the same for you guys.
Yeah I’ve tried hard resetting my Xbox and uninstalling/reinstalling a few times but neither have worked. I also noticed at the main menu my game freezes sometimes too for like a second or 2 before going back to normal. The menu music plays normally but the screen itself will just freeze in and out on occasion, unsure if that’s due to the winter update animation for the menu. I checked my Waypoint stats for the mission that’s crashing for me (Kikowani Station) and the stats seem as they normally should. I’m curious if you guys think maybe uploading my save file to cloud storage and then deleting the original from the hard drive would potentially offer a solution.
worth a try, I just wish someone would at least tell us that they’ll look into this issue, I just want to play halo man.

lol true true
I’m planning on creating a YouTube series literally just for playing H2A with skulls, so I’d very much like to know of 343i is at least working on it.
It’s probably also relevant to say that the Armory and the cutscene before the Armory both work perfectly.
I may may have this issue with other Halo games, but for sure not ODST. I’m going to check and see if this glitch applies to H2A as well.
Whatever the issue is it happens after about half a second of loading, meaning that there is some specific thing that changed that the game can’t load. The audio and freezing tell me it’s stuck in a loop.

For me, the loading bar makes it all the way to end and it seems like I’m about to get into the mission (Kikowani Station) right at that moment. But alas, every time it still freezes and then crashes.

I think it’s a different but similar issue then. I don’t have any issues on ODST, and again mine is only on legendary

I agree, we all have the same issue, but for me its Halo: CE missions that are crashing. And all of us seem to be crashing when we are playing on Legendary difficulty.
Yup, so far it seems this general issue is spanning CE, 2, and 3/ODST. I actually said screw it the other day and started doing the ODST SLASO playlist since the Non-Stop Action isn’t working for me, and I’ve made it further than the other playlist and am up to Coastal Highway lol, so at the moment I’ve turned the situation around fairly well, but I’d still like to finish the Non-Stop Action playlist sometime in the future too if/when this bug hopefully gets fixed.
Edit: Finished the SLASO playlist last night, said screw it again and restarted the LASO Non-Stop Action playlist lol, hopefully won’t encounter the freeze/crash again. I think I may have had this issue because I quit out of Kikowani Station right at the very beginning of the level, and there may not have been a checkpoint loaded at that point, causing some glitch to occur. Dunno though
2nd Edit: Played through the LASO Non-Stop Action playlist yesterday and made it through to the end without any freeze and/or crash! So I’m pretty sure I experienced that glitch because of quitting out in the very beginning of Kikowani Station before a checkpoint was able to load. Either way, both ODST LASO playlists are now in the books! Now it’s time for some Halo 4 LASO
Having same problem here with not being able to start H2A on legendary with or without skulls. Everything beyond The Armory mission causes my game to crash and make the frozen noise (buzz sound). Tried everything from uninstalling to signing out and nothing works.
This is such a annoyance(I’d like to say alot of WORSE WORDS but it’ll get yoinked ) ,every time they push out a “update” it breaks something else in its place. They need to fix this ASAP!!
Granted I can’t play H2 on MCC to collect the achievements BUT if I really wanted too I could pop in my original h2 from my original xb and play on my old fat x360. … Just have to go get them out of storage next to my Nin64,GBs and Ps1/2, which is a hassle.
Im trying to continue halo 4 heroic playlist with a checkpoint on infinity and it loads then fades to black n takes me back to the halo 4 playlist menu or crashes n home screens i hope they patch this in the next update

As far as I can tell it’s been up for three months with no fix. It should be fairly simple coding-wise to fix, probably just some problem loading the AI or damage or something. As soon as 343 knows about it it should be a simple fix.
This is exactly what happens to me, but only on Outskirts legendary difficulty. I never even see the loading screen, I just get the noise and the whole game crashes. I’ve tried hard reset, deleting local saved data, and a complete reinstall. Nothing works, I can play it co-op, but solo crashes every time. Also, I don’t know if it’s related, but the leaderboard info for the first 3 missions of H2A is incorrect, they all have the exact same completion time and no kills, deaths etc.

My stats for the missions that are giving me a problem are messed up too, they’re definitely connected. You said you deleted your saved data? did you like completely delete it and start over? Because I’m thinking of completely deleting mine and seeing if that will free up the mission, but I don’t know.

I deleted my local saved data and I reinstalled the game, but not the cloud data. If I load my wife’s profile and try to play outskirts it works just fine, so it has to be an error with MY data, but I don’t feel like restarting my progress on the progressive achievements yet, or possibly losing my speed run times. So unless 343 patches this bug there’s nothing else I can try.
