The graphics on the remastered version of Halo 2 are amazing but I’m having real problems enjoying the gameplay of the campaign because of the severe frame rate drops. I can’t even walk without it dropping. I’ve tried every mission and all of them have this issue. I’ve also had the game crash multiple times because of this. If there is a way to fix it, I’d appreciate it because the game is very rough to play. It would be really nice if there was an option to turn down the graphics for better performance or to even run it at 1080p instead of 4K in order to get consistent fps. I’m playing the game on a Xbox one X
I’m having the same problem. I’ve read it wasn’t like this before they released Reach. Even Halo 1 is laggy now.

Hello there Rwkn22,
You shouldn’t be experiencing those issues, so let me see if I can help you. I would recommend clearing your Xbox Cahce. To do that, follow these steps: Hold down the power button on the front of your Xbox until it turns off completely. After, unplug your power supply to your Xbox and leave it unplugged for 1-3 mins. After plug in your power supply and wait about 1 min until you turn your Xbox back on. Finally load up the MCC and try to see if that helped. If not, it could be a setting on your t.v. that is making it seem like you are losing frames when you really aren’t.
Hope this helps,
Happy Gaming!
-Rare

I will try this when I get home in an hour or so and update this.
I would like to add that I noticed a shocking drop in frames in Halo: CEA The Maw on Remastered mode. Again, playing on the Xbox One X, I was very surprised to see this considering the Xbox 360 could run it fine in 2011.
So far, shutting down my console and then plugging it back up has fixed the stuttering.
Clearing the cache has eliminated some stuttering but it is still very noticeable and incredibly annoying.

I also made a post about this and so far it’s February and nothing has been done to fix it
I can confirm there’s been a massive performance regression in Halo 2 since the release of Reach. If it’s the latest game update or a combination with the latest system update I don’t know, but Halo 2 now drops in half or even more (sub 30fps, not exagerrating) all over the place in the first three levels I tried. Last summer before Reach I played through all Halo campaigns and while some of them dropped frames a bit the emphasis is on ‘a bit’. One X ran them all between 50-60fps from start to finish and that’s perfectly fine. Right now though Halo 2 is unplayable. You don’t even have to enter a big firefight for it to happen. Please fix! I’ve been reporting performance regressions in several bc titles lately as well.
I was really impressed that X ran all MCC games at 4K natively with such good performance. Now though this is a severe issue.
Suggest everyone reports the game through the store on their Xbox one. There’s a category for poor performance and since we’re so many having this issue it’s warranted.

Agreed help spread the word here on waypoint as well and anywhere for that matter 343 doesn’t seem to know or care
Would be nice to have some acknowledgement from the admins/devs. I’ve created a support ticket here as well. Really bad that this has been going on since December.
I just received an email from 343 saying the following.
Hello there,
Due to most recent release, our Support Team was forced to change its focus in order to provide a better gameplay experience for our players in regards to the upcoming launches.
We have also launched several fixes for the current build based on the feedback that we’ve received from our community.
Please check out the Known Issues list using the link down below:
https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/categories/360002381251-Halo-The-Master-Chief-Collection
If your issue persists, please submit a new request so that we can assist you accordingly.
Thank you for your understanding.
Looks like we are stuck with the current build. I can’t see how they see this as acceptable performance after it ran fine for years. For instance, boot up Regret in Halo 2 and tell me it runs fine for you.

Everyone create new tickets. I just did. I bet they’re too focused on the pc port to even bother to test the Xbox patches properly. Clearly they must be. Ever since mcc version of reach came along the issue occurred. That’s at least three months without acknowledgement.

I can’t believe they butchered halo 1 and 2 like this! It’s terrible playing both of those now! Hey Microsoft! You broke it so maybe you should fix it! Funny how this hatchet job occured the instant they put Reach into this game!

I’ll be putting one in. I can’t believe there’s not massive outrage over this garbage!
Wow they still haven’t fixed it welp looks like I’m not playing halo until they do
The problem is halo is now using Doble vsync buffer, so when the game can’t target 60fps it drops to 30, is just unplayable
