I've only had the game crash on me once (and it was the first time a Halo game has ever crashed on me...ever). It was during Keyes. I had it installed, and my console is a Halo 3 Xbox 360.

This game has a lot of annoying quirks at times that weren't in the original, the subtitles turn on constantly, one of my skulls didn't save so I had to go get it again, and the "online" co op might be the worst online experience I've ever seen, it was like a choppy 5 fps, i've played on dial up and it ran much better than this shit.
Shame really, it's a good remake mostly but they didn't put the love it should have had everywhere.

I haven't installed the game (no room), I have a 20gb 360 hd.
Xbox is a couple of years old, not a slim or elite, a normal white one.
I've never had any game crash on a 360. I play reach frequently (installed), Dark Souls frequently (disc) and Portal 2 and GTA 4 (both from disc) occasionally. No problems.
Hopefully it's a problem with this particular disc; I've ordered a replacement from the e-store I bought it from.
Raged hard earlier (as seen in the post) because I've waited a long time to play the game and now I don't even want to start a level in fear of nearly completing it only for the whole thing to freeze.

So is there going to be a patch for the lag in co-op? Me and my friend were playing and he was complaining that the games aiming was different than the other Halos. I let him host and it was laggy as shit. There was at least a 2 second delay on every action.

I hope that somebody at 343i is reading this thread. the lag in co op mode is unbearable.

I'll stop playing HALO Anniversary until a patch comes out to fix the online co op mode lag.

Oh shit. Do you still get achievements? Legendary is kicking my ass.
I feel shamed considering this.

They'd have to completely redesign the game to accomplish what you want them to accomplish. That, or redesign the internet so that you could ping anywhere in the world under however many milliseconds of input delay would be undetectable to you. But by all means, keep waiting.

The only thing you don't get is more Halo honor.

Yep. Throw in Boom and Grunt Funeral and you can get the 3 skulls Heroic achievement as well.

The lack of Halo honor currently is disgusting. I need someone to coop Legendary with Iron, Mythic, and Black Eye to get the achievement to raise up the HONOR.

Shit. My Halo honour is important to me.
Pretty sure all of Halo Anniversary was outsourced to Saber and CA. 343i looked over the project but it seems like Saber was doing most of the work.

I've got every achievement skull-free except beating two betrayals without switching weapons. Also still need to get "look out for the little guy" haven't really tried it yet.
edit: I've seen no crashes or framerate issues, I don't have it installed, and while playing online coop, yes the lag is pretty bad but not unplayable. It pauses occasionally and says you will be disconnected in.... and counts down from 15. Always comes back around 12 or 13.
I have one of the older body 360's with the HDMI.

Isn't it actually confirmed that Halo 4 is using a heavily modified Reach engine which is a heavily modified Halo 1-2-3/ODST engine aka the Xzhibit engine?
And a new high on "overreaction to a post" from you.
No, it's confirmed that there's still legacy Bungie engine code in there. i.e, They didn't have to try and recreate auto-aim/magnetism/acceleration balance from scratch. They can just blend the variables to make the feel of the aiming be any combination of the previous Halo titles. Almost all of the other aspects of the game are going to be rewritten or different from Halo 3 or Reach (renderer, physics, etc).

Has it ever been confirmed there will be 4 player coop in Halo 4 or are you just assuming based on the last two games?
Big franchises like Halo aren't usually in the habit of removing features.
You have no idea how mad this .gif made me when I first saw it.

Replace "dumber" with "aggressive" and it's about right.
Not to say it won't have co-op, but that listing also has it listed as being 1080p on 360 :lol

Check the back of Halo 3, ODST and CEA Reach boxes, they all "support" HDTV 720P/1080I/1080p.

Hope you enjoyed your brief time with the game
Agreed, but with a new developer taking over the reigns (and supposedly heavily reworking the graphics engine), I wouldn't be surprised if 343 made some tradeoffs in the number of co-op/split screen players to get increased visual fidelity.
Ah, nice find.
Campaign's already limited to two people with heavy LOD on when you do so, the only thing they'd have left is to remove splitscreen entirely.
That'd be a big no-no considering Halo's userbase, but then again they broke LAN compatibility between versions (something that Halo 1, 2, and 3 all didn't do) with their Reach 343.1 title update, so what do I know?

Okay, I downright enjoy The Library now. The shotgun is so satisfying.

Sweet Christ.
I finished Halo before I ever headed online to hear the bitching about repeating environments, copy/paste hallways, etc.
I always though people were overstating it.
They weren't.
WOW. Rose colored glasses, off.
That said, some of the battles in this game still hold up 10 years later.

None of that really matters when you're playing co-op.

Sucky crashing aside, why would you ever drop the sniper on T&R? Ammo is plentiful throughout the entire level and PP+Sniper works wonders without a pistol available.
I personally think the gunplay and enemy AI carries the game through the repetitive sections. Sure I'm fighting in the same rooms over and over but when shooting is so damn fun I could give no fucks.
I second you. I could not care less about repetitive sceneries in 10 year old game that stars a living tank blowing shit all around him with grace and smarts.
Bulletstorm, a modern game based on fun mechanics, did not give more fun than this remake.
