Reclaimer Mission problems

Games Other Halo

I am rather new to these forms so if this has been posted before I apologize ahead, however I got Halo 4 as a belated christmas gift yesterday and have been playing it today. Everything has been fine until the mission “Reclaimer” I find myself halfway through the mission and map stops loading. I am riding the mammoth and the mammoth is just floating, it shows my next objective but there is no ground. I didn’t know if there is a quick patch for this or I am just screwed. Any information would be helpful, thanks!

Did you try restarting at the last checkpoint?

If so, did you try restarting the mission?

Have you tried restarting the mission? Is this the only mission where this occurs? Can you play Spartan Ops and Multiplayer like normal?

its knowing that reclaimer is the buggest mission in h4. there many no load situations. for example that the fregatte in the middle will not come or that the designator at the end disapear or the wavees neer end and u fight in a loop against wraiths and ghosts… it sucks but u must do it again.

After replaying the mission a few more times, it does it off and on. When the mission does cut out I can not reload just from check point but restart the mission as elKazaam said. This is my sixth run through and has cut out 50% of the time.

So far this is the only mission where this occurs if it happens anywhere else I will keep you posted thank you for the help. Greatly appreciated!

Have you tried restarting the mission? Also it could be the case that you are missing a load zones for the map… im not a pro but thats a possibility

If re-starting the mission does not help try changing the difficulty setting, that finally did it for me after days of trying to get the enemy ship to appear. Complete farce that a campaign mission can have a show stopping bug in it like that - hours of time wasted.

This.

The Mammoth takes up a lot of memory and has a lot of scripting. It’d have played out better if they let us drive it.

The best way to avoid the issue is to speedrun the level.

  1. when it drops off the Hog, drive it closer to the target locator, retrieve it then run for the Ghost, boost into the Mammoth, destroy the AA cannon. Ride on it to skip the part with the Banshees then get out

  2. when you have to destroy the shield generators, drive all the way to the huge shield and clip through it (park Hog or Ghost’s driver seat against it)

  3. instead of fighting off waves of Ghosts and Wraiths, I think it should be possible to just drive up to the grav lift which should trigger it to become accessible. You can also grenade jump + jetpack into the Lich. The easiest way is to drop down into the Lich as it spawns, though this can end up making it invincible.

  4. destroy it then the rest of the game can be played normally. If I’m not mistaken, this is where the game does not load the next area?
