Same here, must have been during the period where achievements were bugged. I have two that should be unlocked including a kill count sitting at 100%. Hopefully when I get on later today it fixes.

Dang that was about an hour ago. I got the "demon" achievement for not dying in a level, but I wanted the nameplate.

Thanks, guys. Halo 2 still seems harder than I remember it being, but you may be right. Other than Halo 4, it's got some of the worst checkpointing in the series.



You're fighting the flood. You literally cannot kill everything; they just keep spawning. If other levels were gladitorial arenas, The Library is like river rafting.

It's great because it requires players to use everything in their understanding of the game's mechanics to succeed, even thrive. It's a test of the player's understanding of Halo's mechanics. Most people who suck at it are players who haven't fully mastered the game's combination of movement, shooting, grenade use, and environmental control.

Wow! I'm sure when I played it first time through, when it came out, you had to kill all flood in a certain area before it would unlock the next door/corridor? They were like horde mode where you had to survive the waves before a door would unlock.

But that was, what, 10 years... still remember that damn level!

Yea, try your best not to get stuck in a combat situation. Kill what's in front of you and keep moving.

Thanks you both. I found this article over @ quarter to 3 using google about the Library. Interesting. Thanks again. It allows me to look at an old level in a new perspective. I do hate the level. But maybe the new perspective will make me have more respect for it. Because I thought it was an inexplicable, turd filled sandwich in an otherwise stellar campaign.

So, on normal this game is waaaay to easy. I feel like I have cheat codes on or something but there should be no skulls active on the normal playlist.

However, that mother flipping legendary playlist with all of those skulls is the hardest thing I've ever done in gaming... this is coming from someone who would take turns solo running legendary daily with his brother way back in the day.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I need help. If there is anyone that wants to run the legendary playlist with me just pm me and let me know. Experienced players only please and no crybabies. Yes it will be hard and yes there are a few bugs. We already know this, no need to drive each other into depression complaining about it.

Oh another thing I have noticed with online H2A mp play, i've yet to see a kill cam, i'm just not seeing any in H2A mp.

I can watch a stream and see them for other players.

Yeah, played 5 matches on the bounce of team slayer and not one killcam, 2 of the matches were on H2:A maps.
 
LAA said:
Wow. Halo CEA co op still has input lag for anyone who isn't host. Pretty much unplayable for those affected.

It all depends on your ping to your co/op partner. It's been fine for me and my friend, but he lives I the same town.

So there is no way to do assault rifle/ pistol secondary starts with standard weapons on map?

The only way I can figure to do it now is "human weapons", but that removes plasma grenades unfortunately.

PS I'm talking custom games here.

In original Halo you would select 'Generic' Weapon Set in the setting to get AR/Pistol Starts with Normal weapon spawns on map. Not sure what the MCC version of that would be, but that's what you want to look for.
 
Perhaps a tip for matchmaking: exit to dashboard, click on menu, select quit game (to clear it from memory), then restart the game. This has got me to quicker matchmaking (but could just be random).

Agreed here. Had several lag free Halo CEA co-ops with someone in same state as me. It's a shame it's so unforgiving for others though.

That's been around since Halo 3. Ghost Town was the first map with it IIRC.

Oh wow. I haven't done much Forging in the previous games.

Played some campaign playlist and co-op CE yesterday. Didn't run into any issues. 4 looks so much better with Halo 3 style HDR. Judder in CEA seems to be related to vehicles.
 
I think I'm going to watch Monopoli run each game on legendary a few times and try and pick up on some of his tricks to help make legendary on all 4 games a little less daunting.

I want that beta armor for beating all 4 games on legendary

LAA lives in the same country as me. It's odd, I've played co-op on many other big console games, with players both locally, countrywide, and worldwide, and none of them have had the connectivity issues and input delay of the Halo games. Ever. I wonder if the netcode in general for halo's co-op mode is just shitty on top of the Peer 2 Peer connectivity.
 
mbmonk said:
Thanks. So if I understand you correctly the player should rush through and kill what they can, but not everything. So kind of like a speed run?

I am not understanding what makes it a great level. Why is it great? Because it's pure combat?
Click to expand...

I kill every single thing in that level, and I love it. Excellent you vs the entire Flood level, and in my opinion the best level in any Halo game where there's no Covenant.
 
Anyone had any luck keeping a party together between matches without insane wait times that waiting for the countdown on the score screen seems to give?
 
This fucking game isn't working!

I'm going to sell my Xbox One. I'm so sick of this generation. My PS4 already left me last week.
 
My girlfriend is going to be at a party for her job and my roommate is going home this weekend, I'm thinking Saturday is a good day to run through all 4 campaigns back to back.

On Normal. It's been too long since I've played Halo; my skills aren't adept enough for Legendary H2 yet.

I want to know how this works. Do you need to beat the legendary playlist or would it unlock if you just beat every game separately on legendary, no skulls?

Wow calm down bro, it hasn't even been a week yet and MCC is definitely not the only game to play right now.
Click to expand...
But I can't play it on my free day with my friend. We've played so much in the first years of this franchise and didn't touch it for 2 years now.

Why isn't it working at all :(

I just finished this mission and I agree, it feels like you go through the same room and across the same bridge 10 times.

I'm in the middle of control room but I thought that was one of everyone's favorites? So far I've liked truth and reconciliation and cartographer the best. Does anything top those from here on it?

I'm guessing it's based on the beat all 4 on legendary achievement. I would probably need to tweet Bravo or someone at 343/for clarification though.
 
I haven't been following the glitches in this thread or elsewhere so I was wondering if someone could offer some help. A buddy of mine and I played a level of local co-op in Halo 1 and the mission didn't save.

I'm about to start a legendary run of Halo 1 on my console with another friend, again on local co-op. Is there a save glitch?
 
Halo:MCC one of the reasons I finally bought an Xbox One, but now I'm waiting for fixes before I jump in.

I have to say I wasn't expecting any issues at all with Halo:MCC. It's a remake, how hard could this have been to get right?

Or people just don't like walking through the exact same area over and over again for 30 minutes.

Please do. That legendary playlist is something I'd like to save for a bit till I find an experienced partner. However, going through on just plane Jane legendary won't be a problem at all.

When are you off?

I would be more than happy to get a custom game going with 10+ people.

Just hut be up at FordGTGuy.
 
Seriously 343? I beat every mission on Halo 4 besides Midnight and now you deleted the save and are trying to get me to redo the worst mission in the game, Shutdown?

Fuck. No.
