Hi 343 I was recommended by Xbox Support to post this on your forums as this has been affecting quite a few people including myself and a enthusiastic youtuber by the name of Ducain23.
Let me describe the problem:
Post 7th December update: Now smaller maps are getting affected by this, experienced loading Zenith, empty bar, won’t load and crashes.
I congratulate your efforts on finally getting players together, I mean for such a big task no-one has really took a hand to reliving my Halo memories was just a must for me. The problem is when we’ve finally voted and we get that screen loading the map that was decided upon. The little bar at the bottom never moves on A LOT of the maps mainly in the big team battle playlist as well as others. Some of my glory days of Halo 3’s Avalanche, Sandtrap and the exiting new Bloodline, WHICH IVE ONLY PLAYED ONCE! Thanks to this issue. It stalls the loading bar which means it doesn’t appear to load, waiting 2 minutes only to see it crash and return you to the playlist selection screen. Because this is really mainly for the bigger maps I would think it would be a server issue loading for the number of players or just the bigger maps loading in general… But I stress this only occurs online, I’ve never had this problem locally playing split screen offline with any of the maps.
Now for this youtubers problem, in his 11th Forge Map he stresses the fact that the custom games functionality for the Halo 2 Anniversary maps is broken, so much in fact that high object count maps cannot be played online so much the map creator even had to create a separate version, with less graphics to make it look boring so it could be playable online! Big object counts? big maps? It seems this problem seems to transcend to other areas, the map loading issue continues and it really is driving me crazy. All these players but I can’t load the games! Thanks to Xbox Support for hopefully giving this the exposure this deserves.
Main Problem:
Post 7th December: Smaller maps couch as Zenoth now getting affected!
Map gets stuck on loading phase, never loads bar especially on bigger maps and crashes (only online).
Other problems:
Cannot find any maps to play due to a missing file browser system!!! 1 WISH LIST ADD ONE NOW!!!
Halo 3 gun sounds broke/muted - SO ANNOYING
Halo 2 Anniversary some campaign missions on resume give you a black screen when on selected resume from menu, as well as some of the Halo 4 missions.
Why on earth can’t I save films or even
record film clips to my file share?
Following on… Why can’t I just export films/ record and export film clips to upload studio?
Halo 4 campaign treater missing? It’s next generation?
Huge thanks to Xbox Support for this hopefully reaching 343 industries.
