Halo 2: Regret - Crash on Completion

Its luck of the draw on Regret in finishing the game. Just a heads up you run into more issues on Quarantine Zone if you play online co-op, most likely you and your partner will end up desync. Game shows us in each other games, but in our own separate games. Game still showed my buddie with me and vice versa, but we were in two different games with the other being controlled by a dummy ai which can only move in one direction and nothing else. If it dies, iron kicks in and we go back to the old checkpoint but at the same time the score from each others games still count together but in our own games we dont get a restart checkpoint if the other player dies in their game. Only when the dummy ai that shows the other player dies do we hit a restart checkpoint. It happens the moment we enter the wraiths open field area.

After overcoming the problem with Regret, we became stuck on that mission. Haven’t made any progress in finishing Halo 2 campaign co-op with my friend because of these issues since december. At this point we gave up on this game, on 343 trying to make this game playable. People at 343 need to learn how to fix their game, they might as well go back to college or seek outside help like the folks at bungie. Hopefully this upcoming update, will fix these issues so that me and my friends can enjoy Halo 2 again like the good ole days on the original xbox. If not the halo collection will continue to collect dust in the corner.

Me and my friend have exactly the same issue. We both have tried to play regret on legendary 3 times. 3 TIMES! Every single time it has crashed either when we just killed the prophet and hit the clip scene or in the battle at the end. It sucks really because the game won’t recognize that we have done the mission. I hope 343 industries can fix this mission soon…

I even have a game clip of it messing up if anyone at 343 wants it.

It’s still happening and I’m fatking pipped about it! The reason why I’m fatking pipped is because 343 doesn’t give a ship about campaign players. They didn’t even acknowledge loyal campaign players who put up with their bugs while announcing their “gifts” to the community for putting up with all the bugs multiplayer players suffer through. Fix this garbage 343!

Numerously reported by many people. 343 doesn’t care to comment on the bug, so there is no reason to expect them to fix it.

H2A campaign co-op/splitscreen numerous crashes on many levels. Regret has been impossible to complete, it crashes and resets on cutscene before boss battle, or immediately after beating the boss. Played the entire level 5 times on splitscreen. Crash every single time. Happens on heroic difficulty too.

Happens at the exact same moment for me. Legendary split-screen. Two times in a row. Freakin annoying

hello everyone

i have a little problem im playing halo 2 legendary on mission regret and my game crashes back to xbox desktop when im fighting REFRET or befor i reach him it also happens when i play it on co-op!

are there any fixes for this mission

thanks

Yeah this is so annoying, I have now been trying to finnish this level on legendary and it crashes always once the boss is killed and the animation is about to start… in co-op does not matter who hosts, it has now crashed a total of 6 times at the end…

Its luck of the draw with Regret; either you get lucky and game doesn’t crash or you don’t. For me and my friends we stopped using the playlist and did the missions manually but we became stuck on Quarantine Zone. Haven’t made any progress on the games campaign since then. More than 4 months now since game was released, still waiting on that fix 343. Stop slacking off, and fix the game. 1 month of live and the promise of a free expansion is not good enough 343, you owe us big time for making us wait this long for you patch this game that should have never been released before it was carefully tested.

Count me as another sucker that bought this game. It was really the main reason I opted for the Xbox One over the PS4 which is the superior machine and at this point preferred by developers.

My son and I endured the many bugs and crashes to finally complete Halo CE: Anniversary and were both completely GEEKED to play thru H2A. Of course it wasn’t long before our enjoyment was affected by more of the same kinds of bugs found in CE… An hour or so spent playing thru a level only for it to lock up and give you no credit for it. This is so completely infuriating. Honestly, at this point I would be fine with getting my money back for the game and the One. I’ve pretty much had it. If this next update does not fix these serious issues to make the game playable I’ll have to start reaching out to Microsoft and making some demands. I’m not sure how effective that will be, but I’m on my 3rd system with them now and I have never had such a horrible experience with an Xbox game… Ever! This one is just a nightmare. Such a horrible way to sour our perceptions of a game that used to be the pinnacle. Now it’s a joke.

Very sorry that they have pimped you, Master Chief. Now I’m guessing you wish you’d really died in that explosion at the end of Halo3.

Just curious. Has ANYONE been able to pass this level (Regret) on legendary coop(split screen)? We’ve crashed at least 4 times. The latest time we tried disconnecting from the network. No luck.

Ok. We took network offline AND played in “classic mode” (not remastered) and were able to complete Regret (legendary Splitscreen coop). We didn’t get our achievements until we reconnected to the network and then the game updated.

I’ve tried this level twice on legendary coop. my partner and i would make it to the boss fight and it would crash when reloading a checkpoint. this is pathetic 343, how could thid happen 4 months after tge game is released. Is it a good idea to just do the boss fight in classic mode?

Yes. Play in classic mode AND take game offline. (Disconnect from the network). Wait until you complete the level and you get the cutscene for the next level and THEN reconnect to the network. It should update and give you the achievement. At least it did for me.

It worked, we finished the boss fight on legendary and got our achievement

Wow that sucks, Regret is one of the hardest levels in the franchise.

this is complete bull crap, my girlfriend and I just completed the level on legendary and it glitched out to a white screen and looping audio right after we defeated the boss. at least there’s a workaround but I thought I wasn’t going to be disappointed in the campaign. I hope this is the only major glitch? I also killed the game while riding a pelican out of delta halo after it dropped a tank. Just froze…

well, we just played through it again and I made sure to turn off the updated graphics towards the end of the level. I even had updated graphics on during some of the punching/melee because I had prophet birthday party turned on and I wanted to hear the guitar bits.

Anyway, after the level finished we got our achievements and I realized that we had left the network turned on. I even switched to the remastered cutscene. So at least from my limited experience of two legendary playthroughs, the game crashed on the new graphics at the very end as soon as the cutscene was about to play, but it went on without a hitch on the original graphics.

It seems network status didn’t matter for me. Good luck everyone

me and my buddy have attempted to pass regret we have attempted to finish this level 13 TIMES!!
its not like you guys where it crashes when you reach a cutscene or certain points, it crashes at ANY TIME we can be do

Doing really well then zip we begin to freeze and lag than we see the MCC loading screen than we have to restart the entire level. One time we were fighting regret and the game crashed another time we just started the mission and it crashed there is no telling when the game will crash and it’s so -Yoinking!- frustrating it’s done this on the other levels too but due to regrets length it’s just unbearable. Once again we have tried 13 times with the game crashing at random times. We are going to try today but use the classic graphics only. Hopefully we can do this
