I posted a thread about this earlier, but I suppose I should also describe it here. After downloading the patches, my game still failed to load any mutliplayer maps, whether it be forge, custom games, or matchmaking, but at least I could play most of the campaigns. So I uninstalled/redownloaded it. Now my game fails to load beyond the “Microsoft Studios” logo. I could play the game before, but now it’s completely broken. Power cycled on more than one occasion. I should also mention that ever since I downloaded The MCC, my Xbox has been slightly sluggish. At least when trying to run the game, although that could be due to the massive size of the game.
New bugs post 12/3 patch:
- H3: Immense lag when playing a 3 person co-op game, while in the mission The Ark on Legendary. What could be finished in 10 minutes drag on for almost an hour because it lag so much. Never had this kind of lag before the update.- Crossgame Playlist: We played a playlist that consist 1 level from HCEA, 2 from H3 and 1 from H4. Everytime the level finished, the game would boot us to the main menu and failed to continue. What we did is to continue the playlist using the resume feature. After finishing the last level, only the host (my buddy) got achievement for completing one crossgame playlist, while I did not. Upon further inspection, my playlist says I have only completed 2 out of 4 mission in it. What the hell?- MM: Won a match as the Arbiter but the progress for Zealot achievement never goes up. Stuck at 60%.- MM: Meleed someone from behind last night in H2A playlist but the progress for Ninja Redux achievement never goes up. Stuck at 20%.
343, you are ruining Halo!
The biggest thing that is -Yoink!- me off is when my brother and I try to play co-op on Halo 2 it has the iron skull on like it is active and it is not. We double check every time and it is turned off, but for some reason when one of us die, it reverts us back the the last check point. We have tried every week since Halo came out and it is still not fixed. Get this stuff fixed now. Is this what we have to look forward too for Halo 5. If so, Halo will not be my favorite game series.
The audio in h2a multiplayer. Sometimes the game mutes for a few seconds. Like When you reload, it doesn’t make a sound and when you pull weapons out it doeant make a sound. For example, the energy sword. There are other things that get muted too
Campaign:
Time and Score no longer appear unless you put competitive and then you dont have a rival
If saving and quitting works it registers as in co-op
Achievements arent unlocking but nameplates (ect.) are, and vice versa
skulls cause glitches
Doesnt always register level completion
Multiplayer:
No JIP–not a glitch but a definite problem nonetheless
Still slow
New patch made it so theres not even a chance of staying in the lobby so right back to the waiting screen you go
Still assigns random leaders
Traps you in map screen or black screen or loading screen and gives penalty when you eventually have to leave
These are definitely not all.

Halo 2 veterans here said that if you play on Legendary, it’s intended to have the Iron skull effect on even if you didn’t turn it on.
There should be no fall damage in Halo 2.
Superbounces should work!
Halo 2 anniversary , as a lefty, I cannot use ghost/ banshees , its an handicap for Me , the swapped trigger does not work , sorry for my English cause i speak french
Can’t playing ranked matches!!!
That’s my biggest problem
H2A: when loading game saves (checkpoints), I’ve experience two bugs. 1) the game forces me back to the beginning of the level. Or 2) the save point comes up but the screen is completely black.
I’m playing through the games in sequence and did not experience anything like this in H:CE, so I believe it’s only H2A.
Of note: for anyone else experiencing issue #2 (black screen), I’ve heard that if you switch to classic graphics then back to enhanced graphics, the picture will come back (haven’t verified yet).
(Now personal rant: a month is a long time, 343. I really want to know how so many bugs could make it through your QC. I wasn’t in this camp before, but should things continue like this much longer, you owe us more than an apology. Not fair to spend $60 on this botched experiment, so I’m personally open to receiving a free/heavily discounted copy of Halo 5 next year as a token of goodwill.)
Another bug i saw was if you keep crouching repeatedly, its really glitchy. If you look at gameplay from e3 or 2 months ago, when the guy tea bagged it wasn’t glitchy. You hardly crouch if you keep clicking on L3. It’s really glitchy. Also when you drop the bridge to sword from camo on stonetown, its glitchy. When they first showed gameplay of stonetown and the guy released the bridge, it wasn’t glitchy.
After the update, a new Halo 2 Anniversary Campaign weapon glitch appeared -
- Sentinel Beams’ orange / blue laser are now invisible when you shoot. Press RT to see what I mean. Same for the Sentinel enemies when they fire it.I was switching graphics, even did a hard reset, but nothing fixed it.
Oh, and how come the gold Sentinel Beams (the ones that shoot out blue) aren’t shaded gold color?
I don’t know if this still happens for anyone else, but everytime a MP match finishes, I return to the carnage report, then I press B to close that screen and the game kicks me out to the Find Game screen, and I have to search for games again (it’s no that bad, as the search times have improved, but is really annoying when you find a group of players you’re comfortable with and want to stick with them or want a rematch. This started happening since the 12/3 update

This was something that they introduced with that patch

Oh. OK thx. I’ve just read the log. BTW do you have any idea why they made it that way?

yup.
Achievement Porblems
Here’s what I have so far:
H2- terminal bugs - when you start the terminal it will have blackscreens or it do not start or the achievemnt dont pop up
H3- " sierra 117" acheivement dont pop up status ( will be unlocked)
H3-" skull achievemnts are bugged-status (will be unlocked)
H4- terminal bugs - when you start the terminal it will have blackscreens or it do not start or the achievemnt dont pop up
H4 -Lone wolf acheivement dont pop up status ( will be unlocked)
H2 Classic: I seem to be having a hilarious bug where the Heretic cutscene does not play right. The eyes and mouths on the Prophets animate incorrectly, and make them look epileptic. The Arbiter’s mouth also looks punched in on the left side, and, quite frankly, shudders as he speaks. Also, one of the Brute’s skullcaps loads incorrectly. It’s all very visual, but its really facepalmy that the first cutscene in Halo 2 Classic didn’t seem to make it past bug testing here.
Here: http://xboxclips.com/Romesaria/28c08cf9-5474-4e8e-95cc-e88b53f47136 It gets really bad after the 30 second mark.
Again: http://xboxclips.com/Romesaria/c66396df-90d5-4188-b308-034b7ade41ec You can see the Brute’s skullcap missing at the beginning, and Thal’s jaw still punched in.
On a related note, though likely not a bug, the transition from the Prophet’s chamber to the moon and Master Chief. In the original, it was a fade out from the Prophet’s headdress to the Moon above the Cairo, but in the Classic mode on the MCC, it’s a sudden cut.
Also, that the bolts that shock the Arbiter seem to be rendered differently, with no glow, and for the worse. I would seriously hope they did this because of shader issues, but I hope more that these changes wouldn’t exist, as it does alter the game’s original presentation.
As an addendum, H2 and CE will boot us from pause menus, if we leave them there for more than two minutes. I hope this isn’t an intentional feature, because its annoying as snot to be halfway through a level on Legendary, have to take a phone call, and come back to find that your game booted you to the main menu from the pause screen.
So just tried to get on a game, selected matching making in halo 3 and waited 5 min, then tried to back out and completely froze halo. This is rediculous will someone tell bungie make a a real master chief edition it will probably be ten times better and actually work. I literally only purchased and xbox one for halo and this is rediculous. For a game to have this many problems you should be giving every refunds for a game that does not even work on a brand new effin console.
On other days that i could get online, wouldnt connect chat to friends, wouldnt connect party, disconnect headset for no reason, extremely slow load time, you cant stay in match making after a game you have to constantly jump in and out, cant talk to other team before or after the game in the lobby, uneven teams such as 2 against 6, did i mention that this rediculous? If i had a dollar for every bug you guys have i could bail the US out of debt.
