My game froze and went black screen and restarted my Xbox One in Halo 2 Misson: Delta Halo it was an odd bug that I got today.
Hi guys,
Yesterday I just tried to play Halo2 Campaign with a friend online (Quarantine Zone, Heroic, 4 minor skulls, score). We both have very good home network full wired and high speed connectivity (100Mb/s Optical fiber), yet we had some regular 1 to 2sec freeze lags (every 3 min moreless) during our game which is very annoying !
Also, our game crashed 2 times in the middle of the mission so we had to start all over since we can’t choose some alpha, bravo, or charlie thing rally point to start where the game crashed. He finally had to do all the mission on speed running with the Spectre avoiding all the fights to prevent the game crashing one more time before the end… what a fun way to play… YET, the game crashed at the very end during the carnageboard loading, all these efforts for NOTHING ! We played like 2h30 for nothing !
So damn annoying…
We experienced also some dramatic fall of the framerate when explosions occured… WTF ?! It’s a 2004 game guys !
I had NEVER seen a halo game with so much issues ! This is litterally unplayable ! Get you -Yoink- together !
In an other topic :
The MCC menus are not very intuitive especially to view stats and to view what elements we have unlocked for the personnalisation of our character.
For example for the avatar : do a table with all the avatar available and all the locked to see them all at once. Scrolling all along to see what we have is ridiculous…
The time and score board and leaderboard aren’t easy to understand at all ! Why we have to chose between score and time ? Why not both are recorded ? Why the scores doesn’t display in the playlist for the missions we had played in regular campaign ? For example : I have played Outskirts in heroic in regular campaign, my scores and times should be registered also in the heroic playlist and the master chief playlist and so on !
Whartog, and gatling sounds are not Halo’s anymore (gatling is really annoying, especially for the Hog’ mission where you don’t cease fire for 40min. Poor ears…). Don’t -Yoink- things that made the Halo sound universe so special…
I have also played Halo 5 beta 10 min, I assume the ugly aliasing won’t be in the final game, but for God’s sake, ged rid of the “humpf” sounds spartans make at any boost/jump/efforts. This is non sense ! They are spartans ! they can flip a 66 tons Main Battle Tank in a blink, they can’t be in pain making a miserable jump or boost straff…
Beware of your artistic decisions. Halo isn’t a japanese game, don’t make this Gundam look on the armors and I fear the bad guys look… WTF is this big forerunner bird in the trailer ?! Why in the hell MC would wear a hood while having a full armor ?! Why not sunglasses and solar cream ?! Guys… This is bad and you should feel bad…
Happy new year though, and I appreciate the efforts made to please the community (fan service and free content as excuses for previous issues)
Regards
I can’t open the campaign. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and still my game crashes when trying to play the campaign.
Halo 2 campaign keeps crashing for my friend and I on Co-op. Havent tried it on solo though. The campaign was working fine for us until “Delta Halo” where it kept crashing right after the bit of the mission “Nothing but Jackal”. We skipped the mission and went straight to the next mission “Regret” only for it to freeze towards the end of the mission.
All issues were experienced during custom game multiplayer play in Halo 2 and Halo 3 as of Jan 5th 2015
- Communication Issues- Need to reconnect headset between games to maintain communication when in game setup lobby- Odd ability to hear communication of other team during game play, seems to be sporadic- Game invite issues- Constant inability to join other (xbox live friend) players - this is the biggest pain point as we have multiple machines co-located and would like to play LAN style games (not matchmaking) - Constant inability to join via game invite (see previous issue as the symptoms are the same)- Teams- Occasionally teams will shuffle between setting up the game and the game actually starting- This is not a bug but UX related, the team changing experience is dreadful, old Halo versions was as single bumper press to change teams, now its a ridiculous 5 click adventure through 3 menus
My company has a daily hour of halo team building and these issues (mostly the game invite issues) has caused us to go back to Halo 3/Reach on the 360. Please fix
Don’t worry, they are going to update us with even more achievements for the broken multiplayer: Hoo-rah

A friend and I have been trying to play through Regret on legendary for about a month now. 5 times it has crashed on us towards the end of the mission … once while pummeling the prophet Regret (I swear I heard that jerk laugh just before giving me the finger as the game crashed). I guess we’re gluttons for punishment. That, or just stubborn.

> 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.
Also for all the Halo’s in Co-op me and my friends score at the end of the game are different on are screens. We would play it together and I would have one score and they have another when its a combined score.
Also in Halo 2 story we would be on Co-op and I would see my friend walking into the wall and on there screen I am too. We both have different score and playing the level without the other person like we are in co-op but playing different levels.

Also,
Once match is complete and stats are being upload, there is a good chance the carnage report will cause the game to lock up requiring a quit and restart. Game invites/joining seem to be very difficult after this.

Yeah, an achievement update while the over all condition of the game is still pretty bad is just baffling.
Hey 343i, the MCC is still broken on many levels. Perhaps working on new achievements isn’t the best use of your time.
What a brilliant thread title lol.
H2AM On matchmaking, whenever I charge up a plasma pistol shot and fire, nothing happens. It just sits there and nothing fires. Same thing with grenades. I throw them and no grenade appears, and it randomly appears on the map about 20-30 seconds later.
Really need an update to end the match when a team all quits and give the win to the other team on Halo: CE. Just had a 2v2 slayer game in which we were crushing the other team 20-3, and they both left. Me and this other guy have had to wait in the game for 16 mins in order to register a win. I just afked and went on the laptop so not too much of a problem, but still quite annoying.
MCC Halo 2 no games save in co-op is rediculous. I play with my wife like back in the day on legendary with sculls, it’s insane, love it we always have. But to strip out the game save for co-op and revert to mission start makes no sense. This game is the only reason I went from 360 to One, having been loyal to XBox since the first week of release. If I had known I would have gone PS4. I hope this get sorted or I’ll be selling within the month.
The spider emblem doesnt work, and the co-op campaign in halo 2 crashes frequently on Delta Halo for me. Sometimes the game gets stuck on loading screens FOREVER until i quit the game and restart.
I recently started re playing Halo: CE, I’ve unlocked some of the Skulls. I get the notice for the skull unlocking, but they don’t show up in the menu to activate them.
I wasted soo much money on a game that I love and for the fact that the game is buggy I can’t even play it right now. I’m highly upset because every time I’m at the pause menu and hit the menu button it freezes and the disc is not even scratched . I feel like I’m being robbed. A 60 dollar game just to be at the pause menu. I don’t get no achevents for that. I’m disappointed. Seriously. I hope they reading this for real.
I don’t even have the disc… I have a black friday special bundle i downloaded this sucker… Halo 2 keeps locking up and crashing on certain sound cues. It seems to be whenever the prophets song plays the game crashes… It really is starting to piss me off… considering this is the only game I have for the XBONE at the moment. Also just like everyone else yes my game keeps crashing on the mission delta Halo
I get a message that says “waiting for priveledges” and will not let me connect to multiplayer. I can however connect if I back out and keep trying it but this is a bunch of crap. I didnt quit games or anything so this needs fixed its rediculous this game isnt fixed yet
I posted this somewhere else earlier:
I don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this problem but, for me Halo 3 Forge and Custom games wont load. I can select all the various options to set the game up but when I hit ‘start’ it flicks over to a picture of the level I have chosen, the little loading icon bottom right of the screen continues to spin and the loading progression bar doesn’t move. It stays the solid black colour. I have been waiting close to 5 minutes and no change. I actually have to go to the dashboard and quit the app to get out of it. It also doesn’t matter what map I choose - same thing. It only appears to be Halo 3. Halo 1,2 and 4 I can play Custom and Forge games just fine.
If you have any information or possible solutions please let me know.
Does anyone know if I uninstall the MCC with the idea of reinstalling it in an attempt to fix the above problem, will I loose all of my current game progress? Is this worth a try?
