Currently I am playing through the cross-game playlist “The Master Chief Saga” and I have run into a game-breaking issue in the Halo 4 Mission reclaimer (mission 42 in the playlist).
In the mission Master Chief gets a board the UNSC mammoth to go and neutralize the gravity well that is keeping Forward Unto Dawn in requiem. The mission boots up fine and plays perfectly up until you get to the segment where an unidentified Covenant Ship destroys the mammoths Mini Mac Cannon. The first time I ran into this bug, the Covenant Ship did not load in at all and I was stuck in a soft block for I was still able to attack the six or seven waves of enemies that attempts to destroy the mammoth. I would even get the objective to “Board the Ship.” It took me a little bit to realize that there was no ship to board as I have not played this mission in a very long time. When I finally realized that the ship did not load in I save and quit and then booted the mission back up again. The ships still did not load. At that point I went into the menu and completely restarted the mission, and everything worked perfectly fine up until the same point. Things played out a little bit differently this time though. The ship did loading and I wasn’t able to get into it and destroy it’s score. After destroying the core I jumped back onto the mammoth and looked up at the ship as it started to fly away. This time the ship did not blow up but stayed in place just in the horizon. The ship was still solid as I could still throw grenades shoot rockets and shoot bullets at it and so get hit markers. I didn’t see this as an issue though as it didn’t stop anything from progressing. De minimis then continued forward and I noticed that the next chunk of the world didn’t load in. I was really confused when I saw this happening so I stayed on the mammoth and the mammoth continue to drive I’ll see edge of so what is already loaded. The mammoth did not fall though, it actually kept driving as if there were still ground under it and reacting to debris on the floor rocks making the wheels push up and down. Though this was not the case as there was no floor that I could shoot through a grenade or shoot Rockets onto, it was just an endless Abyss. I decided to stay on the mammoth as it kept driving and dialogue kept going through. The maps still has not loaded in even whenever the objective told me to leave the mammoth and go up a Hill because rocks were blocking the mammoth from pushing on. The BAM has disappeared under my feet although its hitbox was still there in particle effects for still showing on it. I could still shoot throw grenades and shoot rockets at the mammoth and they would still connect and give me hitmarkers. I decided to jump off the mammoth in the direction that I thought was the hell but because the map hasn’t loaded I just fell into the abyss. I loaded the most recent checkpoint I had which was just after the ship should have been destroyed. The map still did not load in and I was able to jump off the mammoth and get to the part of the map that was loaded in. I see the mammoth continue forward and then stop because I was not on board. It was still floating even though the ground that’s supposed to be there did not load in. The same issue kept repeating each time I reset and I could not continue with the playlist because of this. I have video proof of at least the part with no map loading in.
2021, same bull.
