Even 60 FPS and a high definition treatment can't save The Library from being the worst level ever designed by human hands.

Wat.

Literally not true.

(And even if there were infinite enemy respawns, it wouldn't be a bad fit for what the level is doing.)

I get that the level was run and gun and wanted you to keep moving... but that is completely betrayed by the fact that there are various doors you get stopped at for a few minutes.

That level was bad, I'm sorry.
 
So I have to restart each lvl every time I save and quit? I have lost my progress twice midway through two different missions in halo 2 anniversary. I think this didn't happen back in the old xbox? But I don't remember.

That's odd, I saved and quit a few times throughout the Halo 2 campaign and picked up from where I left off

Oh my... I was about to be amazed when everyone stayed in the lobby after my 4v4 H2 match and matchmaking for once actually kept us together and put us in a new game. We all voted and Stonetown started to load up aaand.... the game makes an ugly sound and crashes to black screen.

Only kinda/sorta. It can certainly lay on an interesting sort of intensity if you decide to dash through it, but the "run and gun" is the dance, and that's gloriously present even if you decide to take it slow and steady and kill everything.

That's my preferred way to play most of the level. It can be fairly mesmerizing, actually.

Yeah, that's a bug, it's happened to me as well. The original game's save system works correctly.

Just unlocked:

Pacifist
Halo CE: Complete The Silent Cartographer without shooting, using grenades, using melee, dying, or restarting.

Feet Firmly Planted
Halo CE: Complete a level without jumping.

Ran through The Silent Cartographer on easy mode, not jumping was the hardest part :c

Edit: Also unlocked the time trial achievement for doing it in under 15 minutes

Did you run into any trouble? I was thinking about doing this later when I got home.
 
The Halo 4 level with the pelican is my personal most hated level.
Even with being able to skip it with the glitch.

Right?! I've actually fallen in love with the Halo 4 Campaign with this collection but that level is disgustingly awful, particularly the gondola part.
Right up there with The Library in terms of shittiness.

Has MM just completely stopped working for anybody else?

I was getting games after like 3 or 4 minutes of searching earlier today, but I've been searching for the last 45 minutes or so and haven't found a single one. And yes, I've tried restarting search and changing playlists.

Also, is there no betrayal mechanism at all in MCC? I know it doesn't have one for Halo 2. I've had a few matches turn into a betrayalfest and there's absolutely no recourse against players who kill their teammates repeatedly.

None at all, I was a bit weary about using the warthog as it's quite a large level to walk around but it didn't hinder the achievement even with marines on the turret. Just keep walking and don't look back.

the sounds mix for Halo 2A is wonky. i cant hear the shield down noise at all with all of the other sound effects going on.

its also dark as shit. there are no brightness settings in these games? wtf?

Has 343 acknowledged the major fps slowdown in halo CE campaign? Any fixes coming for that?
oh yeah, this too. ive gotten major fps drops in H1 and H2 so far.

not pretty

I was given the option to boot someone yesterday in Halo 3 BTB

I'm going through the master chief saga playlist and I'm already stuck. On the truth and reconciliation at the end and the captain keeps dying. Anyone care to assist? Pls

Had a nice night could play 6 matches. Matchmaking is still miss and hit from finding a match within 4 min to not finding any at all.

Hope they can fix it before the weekend.

When it works H2:A online is so good.

It really is. The movement feels so good. The BR feels so good. The game looks beautiful.

I really hope they change their minds and release more remastered maps as DLC. With the way Halo 5 is looking, H2A is likely to be the only next-gen Halo worth playing.

best level to do the not jumping achievement is the very first level... you just need to crouch like crazy on the left or right and eventually you'll vault yourself onto the pipes :p then you don't have to jump for the rest of the level

If it's the ambush part where a couple doors open up and you have to fight them off, get some plasma grenades and plant them at the doors that open up on you.

Just put yourself into harms way and get in their face, so they focus more on you. It's tough and can be a little random, good luck.

I need some tips.. Lol
I'm getting absolutely SMASHED in h2:a and BTB. More so in btb. I would have sworn those guys were using keyboard and mouse. Accurately shooting me from across the map with the br.

Everyone just sticks together and camps.

Tell me how the hell you're managing to play Multiplayer and I'll give you some tips.

just finished a H2C game on Turf. We lost, but only 50-47. Was a really great game, with all team members on both sides getting roughly the same number of kills. Intense, and how Halo should be. Approve.

I'm confused. Just started over choosing the master chief saga playlist and there was no prologue movie, just the start of Halo CE showing The Pillar of Autumn flying. Did I mess up?

I wonder if being in Australia is inhibiting my matchmaking even more. Haven't been able to get into any games the last 2 days.
