I am busting my butt trying to get monopolized (beat Halo 2 in less than 3 hours) considered by many to be the hardest achievement in the game. And I keep playing levels and beating them but my times don’t count. They don’t appear on Waypont and they don’t show up on the leaderboards. UGH!!! I beat Metropolis with a time that should be in the top 1000 twice. Metropolis and Sacred Icon both show the exact same time and will not update on Waypoint when I beat either level with a better time. Help please!!! I’m sure it won’t do any good but I can provide screen shots of the summary screen with the times I completed the missions in.
You were connected to Xbox Live the whole time correct? I recall having the saving issue for a few missions in H2, but replaying them fixed the issue for me. Try hard resetting your console, and attempt the mission again afterwards and see if it updates.

Are you using the save & quit method to get your times? Looking at your service record, having a time of 1hr 40 minutes tells me you used the save/quit method on the last area(checkpoint) of the level which voids any time you get and gives you a random 1hr+ time. The same thing happened to me on Regret before I got a perfect (for me) run.
Thanks for all the advice. I was connected to xbox live the entire time. And I was using the save and quit method (unfortunately I’m not good enough to get the times needed without :(.) I have been considering deleting the game from my hard drive and just playing offline. Especially because I need to do the life story and it sounds like it is glitchy also and deleting the game and playing offline is a recommended way to do it. Is there any down side to deleting the game off my hard drive and just playing it offline? Thanks again everyone for you help.
You can use the save & quit method but you can’t use it once you get to your final checkpoint/room of a level otherwise it’ll give you a time of 1hr+. For instance, once you destroy both the wraiths on metropolis and get the check point you can try grenade jumping onto the scarab, if you miss save and quitting there would be fine. Once you get the checkpoint in the second stairwell(if you can’t or don’t want to do the nade jump) you can no longer use the save/quit method as it’ll most likely screw your time up. (that is usually my last checkpoint of the level).
DadliestGamer I just wanted to thank you for the advice. Because of your help I just posted the #66 time on the leader boards for Metropolis!!
