Thanks! 84% so close I can taste it....So I shouldn't have any problems single player right?

Hard to say. I think most people have been able to play the campaigns with no issues outside of achievements not unlocking, but I've seen a few people report weird things happening. I played through CE on heroic with no incidents for what it's worth.

lol hopefully

I've been hit with the save issue as well that others have had. I had to sit through that opening Halo 2 scene where they test your aim and armor 3x now because it didn't save properly. Not a huge deal, just annoying.

Other people are having their entire progress be lost in the Master Chief Saga playlist or whatever.

Why though? Did you just not finish the level or were you a few levels in? You can always use mission select to skip a few levels if it sets you back far.

Got into a handful of H2A matches today. Gotta say, it's my favorite gameplay of the bunch so far.

Totally gorgeous, the map changes are actually great, and even though it's supposed to basically mimic Halo 2 in every way, it feels even tighter to me. Might just be the graphical and audio feedback playing tricks, but I feel the core gunplay controls like something in between Halo 2 and Halo 4 (which, despite all its flaws, controlled superbly) and it's glorious.

I didn't finish the level, but made sure I made a checkpoint and Quit and Save.

It really didn't affect me at all, I was just dicking around while I waited for my friends to finish their game and send me an invite.

Consistent games in MM right now.

But damn, me and my split screen friend are split up every game. Very annoying.

Even teams though.

Really feeling for the people who can't find games right now. Me and my friend have been finding stuff consistently for the past 45-60 minutes.

Too bad we aren't on the same team in any match.

Am I going mad or do some of the weapon models in H2A MP and SP look different (BR and SMG in particular)?
Click to expand...

It's true. It's because they were developed independently I believe but I may be wrong. Kind of strange. The weapon set got remade twice.

I forget whether I like the SP or MP models more. Someone should make a comparison. I know I like the sword better in H2A-SP.

Anyone else not able to play co-op on the first 2 levels of Halo 2 Anniversary?

My mate and I just completed "The Maw" on Halo: CE for the second time because we got kicked during the final cutscene on our first run. On our second run-through I managed to get the legendary achievement pop-up, unfortunately my mate once again got booted in the last cut-scene. He didn't want to run it again until 343 fix shit so we went to start Halo 2. But the first mission available for us to play on co-op is "Cairo Station". Wtf?

I can almost understand matchmaking being borked at launch, but for the campaign to be so fucked as well is just unforgivable. Seriously considering a refund until this game is fixed.

It's really a "Frankenstein" of a game in terms of various developers actually, so to at least a small extent, I was expecting some bugs and glitches from the get go. Anyone have the full list of all involved with each component? Would love to see that again.

To the best of my knowledge:

UI:

United Front

Halo: Combat Evolved:

Bungie
Gearbox - (PC port which was used as the base for Anniversary)
343/Sabre (I'm not sure which) - (port of the PC port to 360 and then of that to Xbox One)

Halo: Combat Evolved: Anniversary:

Sabre - New graphics engine
343/Sabre (again, not sure) - port of that engine to Xbox One

Halo 2:

Bungie - Original game
Hired Gun - PC port which I think is the base for this port.
343/Sabre (again, not sure) - porting the PC port to Xbox One

Halo 2: Anniversary:

Sabre - New graphics engine.
Blur - new Cutscenes

Halo 2: Anniversary MP:

Certain Affinity

Halo 3:

Bungie - Original game
Ruffian - port to Xbox One

Halo 4:

343 - Original game
Ruffian - port to Xbox One

Number of games: 5 (I'm including H2A MP as a separate game for development purposes)
Number of engines: 7
Number of companies involved: 9

Cairo Station is really the first "playable" mission in Halo 2. "The Heretic" and "The Armory" levels are simply cutscenes and a very brief tutorial/calibration with Master Guns who is in a particularly fine mood.

However, I would assume you should be able to start them in co-op. I guess not, at least currently.

Just seems like a waste of resources to make them twice.

I dont know about the rest of your post, but I do know according to a post on their website United Front games handled the UI.

The team here at United Front Games has been working on a unified interface that spans all four Halo games and ties them together into one cohesive experience. This means that you’ll see each Halo game side-by-side as you select your favourite missions, and you can play ranked competitive playlists that seamlessly span multiple Halo titles without having to “switch” Halo titles! We’re pretty stoked to be involved with the Halo franchise alongside several other talented studios, and we’re all working hard to bring this massive title to you this holiday season.

So, I just beat Assault on the Control Room with my friend on Legendary. The next mission started loading and it said The Library..... which is weird because 343 Guilty Spark should have been next. The mission finished loading, and it ended up being 343 Guilty Spark. So I backed out to the main menu and it said that me and my friend were indeed on the Library, and that we had beaten 343 on legendary which we never did.

So apparently we beat a mission that we never started yet on legendary, and we didn't get the achievement for it either. Hopefully we still get the achievement once we actually play it.
