Regret and Quarantine Zone is bugged, game either crashes or desychronize you when playing online co-op.
Halo 2 legendary playlist on co-op (Regret) is bugged. Game freezes/crashes either during the boss fight or at the cutscene after regret dies. Regret legendary on co-op works fine when you play it the old fashioned way. Playlist needs some patching to prevent the game from crashing on that mission, for me and my friend attempted to do that mission on the playlist 12 times before we said screw it and loaded up the mission the old way and finally got passed Regret on legendary.
Was playing co-op on Halo 2 Quarantine Zone legendary with a friend (not on the legendary playlist), game desychronized us. 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 ther 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. We just getting depressed over our inability to play Halo 2 co-op online without running into bugs like these.
Let us enjoy the campaign and multiplayer without the bugs interfering with our ability to play the game. More than a month later and the issues still not resolved. You should have delayed the release of this game until a more thorough testing of the game was done to discover and fix the flaws of the game. If its taking this long to fix the problems, then the problems are routed in the games core programming thats fundamentally flawed or the people trying to fix the problems are incompentant. These problems remind me of the new health care rollout via the website last year, website was fundamentally flawed that they rebuilt it from scratch to get it to work by bringing in an outside group of experts to fix the problems the first group created.
the updates keep breaking the game also - 2 new problems (new to me anyway)
-
On halo 2 Anniversary legacy controls no longer work and are default, just as they didn’t work with the previous update on halo 4 which is now fixed.
-
when you select score on halo 3 is does not display.
Halo 2 anniversary Co-op Live doesn’t work. It doesn’t even load the level 
Gotta say I’ve never experienced this level of bugs/issues and I’m primarily a PC gamer lmao.
So for me even getting the game playable was a trial. Now my first issue, on my second terminal video (so second level), after it’s done and I’m back at the game screen pause menu asking me to press a to continue…nope, the game won’t respond to any button.
New issue, terminal 3, halo channel thinks I’m offline, multiple attempts has locked up Halo channel, even if it enter it via the app rather through Halo in-game.
**H3-**no sound and controls -Yoink!- when in multiplayer
Awaiting Privileges bug.
OPEN NAT
WIRED CONNECTION
Nothing wrong with my XBL account, cannot play any multiplier.
Here are some issues I’ve run into recently.
In Halo CE multiplayer matchmaking I have run into an issues where during the game the opposing team does not take damage from us approximately half the time. I have only run into this issue once in a game, but felt it worth noting.
In Halo 2 classic multiplayer every once in a while head shots don’t connect with the target. This has been a noticeable issue with the sniper rifle, and could be happening with other weapons. This occurred while playing in a private online match.
In Halo 2 classic matchmaking. There have been many times where I am killed or a friend on the same console is killed and the respawn timer freezes at 4 seconds. This occurs at random on any map. It is also worth noting that it has happened in custom games as well, online and offline.
In Halo 3 custom games I have only had a few issues, and they’re rare. There are a couple times where I have attacked with the sword and everything happens correctly except the target takes no damage. It also doesn’t respond as if it were a rebound, it acts like it killed without killing. Other than that Halo 3 appears to be working the best for me.
On a side note, it would be nice if in campaign scoring worked as it did in halo 3 on the xbox 360 where all players get their own score during the game. Many times the Party leader gets all the points. This occurs when there are 2 players on the same console. Their scores aren’t separated.
No notes on Halo 4 as I have yet to play anything in it due to taking my time in enjoying the previous 3 and trying to replicate bugs
Halo 4 Reclaimer level Lich Bug after destroying it the ship seems to not explore causing a bug that doesn’t render the remaining part of the level.
HCEA & H2A: On the very starting levels, if I have the improved graphics turned on, it will; freeze, stutter, then crash.
HCEA: The second level will infinitely load.
H2A: Outskirts will crash before even loading in an identical manner to the starting levels of HCEA & H2A.
H2A: The Oracle will infinitely load.
Multiplayer: After I finish a local match on any Halo game, it will automatically take me to a matchmaking party screen.
I hope these issues are resolved quickly.
NOTE: I have not tried every level of HCEA or H2A yet. I finished H3 with no problems. I have not tried Halo 4 yet.

> I like the new name. Halo: The Master Bugs Collection. Sounds just about right.
>
> Here’s what I have so far:
> - HCEA: The objective markers doesn’t always appear in campaign, solo or co-op. Especially in earlier levels.
> - HCEA: When using Plasma pistol, you can usually hear the gun charging sound when you didn’t even shoot the gun. Not game breaking, but annoying nonetheless.
> - HCEA: Constant disconnection issue in co-op. If you and your co-op partner cannot move, that means the game lost it’s connection to server. Restarting checkpoint/mission doesn’t help. Had to quit.
> - HCEA: Dead co-op partner could not respawn even though there’s no enemies/he’s not in combat. The only fix is to restart checkpoint.
> - HCEA: Random controller disconnection. This is by far the worst, game-breaking glitch I found. If your controller disconnect 3-4 times during your co-op session, next time you reconnect, the party chat sound won’t be coming through the headset (it’ll be on TV instead). If it disconnect one more time, you will lose all control over your Xbox. The game won’t respond to any button presses on the controller. The game also will register whatever button you pressed last before the disconnection, and continuously doing that. In my case, it register the LS down, so my character is moving backward forever. Since we’re doing co-op and the progress is not save everytime we quit, my partner had to finish the level all by himself while I can only watch.
> - HCEA: No progress saved when playing co-op. Not even for the host, which means we need to complete at least that level we’re on or we have to restart the whole level from beginning.
> - HCEA: Difficulty getting into friend’s game session for co-op. Most of the time it’ll just say “Unable to connect to host” but sometimes it’ll say “Session full.”
> - HCEA: When I was playing co-op Legendary on Two Betrayal, suddenly my Xbox is silent. There’s no sound coming from the game. After finishing that level, I force quit the game, launch again and it have sound back.
> - H2A: Co-op session ended before we can even get into the game. You can join a session, see the loading screen for a few seconds, then you will see the blue Halo MCC loading screen, back to the main menu with the “Unable to connect to host” error message.
> - H2A: There’s a bug when playing Legendary where the Iron skull is activated even though you didn’t manually activate it through the skull screen before starting the game. This make the game unnecessarily difficult as the skull will restart the whole mission if you die playing solo, or restart the checkpoint if you play co-op.
> - H2A: The IWHBYD skull is bugged. Even after correctly following the “7 checkpoints” guide, there’s a fair amount of time it won’t appear, or in my case it’s there but not visible. So you need to just go to there the location of the skull is and hold RB while hoping you can pick it up. Works for me the second time I tried. Some peoples reporting you need to fight 7 waves of Elites before getting the achievement for the skull, but I personally get the achievement right after I picked it up.
> - H2A: Game crashed occasionally after viewing a cutscene.
> - H2A: When switching from the remastered cutscene to the classic one, the audio won’t come up until one seconds later.
> - H2A: The game doesn’t properly hide your HUD, reticule etc before start playing a cutscene, so in most cases, you can sometime see your health bar, or reticule, or score (if you have it turned on) when viewing the cutscenes.
> - H2A: Same glitch as HCEA where you cannot respawn properly even when there’s no enemy nearby.
> - MP: After a match finish in Custom Game, there’s high chance your game will crash when it get to the lobby.
> - MP: The UI would lag immensely when getting to the lobby after a match.
> - MP: Just stuck at the matchmaking menu. No game found for any MP playlist I selected.
> - Achievements: Some weren’t unlocking properly. Some unlock late (when it should unlock immediately) and some just stay at the “Done. Unlocking…” (which should be Xbox issue where it couldn’t sync your unlocked achievement(s) to XBL server.
> - Playlists: The “Master Chief Saga” playlist is buggy. When I was playing HCEA on that playlist, the game just skip the “343 Guilty Spark” completely and just put me on “Two Betrayal”. When I go to the main menu and check, the game said I’ve completed “343 Guilty Spark”, but no achievement awarded for supposedly “completing” the level.
> - Terminals: When unlocking the terminal in the game (in my case it’s HCEA and H2A), the Halo Channel app just froze. Sometimes it just stay on the loading screen forever, and when it does work, the video streamed in SD for around 10-20 seconds before going HD.
> - Nightfall: Whenever I tried to watch the first episodes of Nightfall, it will just skip the episode and just give me the “Halo 2 Anniversary Documentary” instead.
> That’s the bugs/glitches I’ve found so far and I’m not even in H3 or H4 yet. Or in the actual matchmaking. Who knows how much piles of it I could find.
This need a fix. And it’s bad that these have not been fixed
Hello I have been enjoying halo mcc since it first came out even though there has been bugs and glitches but fixed between the recent updates. But my only concern right now is that every time I try to play halo 2 co-op campaign on legendary online i cant because the loading screen in a halo 2 mission keeps failing and keeps sending me back to the main menu telling me (that i was disconnected and couldn’t join the game) which sucks because me and a cousin are playing the complete halo 1,2,3,4 saga but can’t do that because halo 2 doesn’t work on co-oop campaign. Hopefully the guys and girls at 343 can help resolve this issue. Thanks…
I beat Two Betrayals and Keys on legendary and didn’t get the achievements for doing so but have the achievement for beating the game on legendary. I did this on the 26th of dec.
I also have a terminal achievement for halo 2 stuck unlocking, and did have one skull one from CE that wouldn’t unlock but finally did a day later in the middle of doing nothing in the game just sitting at the title screen.
I also had cairo station achievement fail to unlock as well, it says done unlocking though while keys and two betrayals just say locked.
Just played some 8 player customs with friends and here’s the issues we had.
Game chat never works consistently, some players can hear some players but not others etc. Voice chat does not work in FFA at all.
Voice chat stopped working all together for some players and the only way to fix it was to reboot the game.
We had random host migrations in the lobby
Some players couldn’t join the lobby without rebooting their consoles.
Game crashed at least once for 6 of the 8 players.
So this is a bug that me and my friend keep getting on H2A Co-op Campaign on Legendary. Sometime we get in different phases of the level in different checkpoints, Like I am at the next checkpoint fighting and he is still in the previous room; we can see each other bodies and can’t go on because on our screen the partner gets killed or falls from a cliff, resetting the checkpoint. This is one of the worst gamebreaking stupid bugs I ever seen in a Videogame.
I’m getting gun audio bugs in Halo CE (343 Guilty Spark) I’m surprised 343 Industries stopped compensating people when the game has so many bugs left…
First time playing multiplayer - I can’t find a match and when I try to quit out of matchmaking the game just hangs saying “leaving matchmaking”. Clearly Microsoft and 343 are scraping the bottom of the barrel hiring developers these days. You guys stink.
> 2690096563143724;298:
> Since the latest update, I haven’t been able to play Halo 3 at all. Campaign, multiplayer, anything. The game just sits in a loading screen indefinitely with the progress bar not moving.
When was the update? My XBOX One won’t connect to the internet right now…
Game keeps freezing when playing ranked matches. Keeps freezing as joining halo 2 anniversary when starting maps. I have lost tanks due to the as well. Then get a message after, trying to verify access to multiplayer?
