For the speed run achievements, do you have to do the missions all in one go, or as a playlist, or can you do them all one at a time whenever you want to?

 

[hawk2025]

This fucking game.

Holy shit.

This fucking game.

Once again, trying to get my time on Requiem Legendary to appear on the Solo leaderboards, the game does the exact same glitch where it says I was playing co-op with my self.

COME ON

Wtf?

I haven't heard of this one yet. The game somehow thinks you are in a co-op match when you are not?

 

[NullPointer]

Eh nothing will change. People will just keep on waiting citing asinine statements that its Halo and its worth the growing pains. I think you should prepare that nothing is really fixed by next wednesday.

I expect some things to be improved but they have already laid the expectation groundwork for more patches to come, so.. yeah. There'll be more patches to come.

 

[Macho Madness]

Can I make a new thread for that video? It's both impressive from an emulation standpoint and hilarious from an everything else standpoint. XD

If you want, sure.

I think they are glitched, so it doesn't matter.

 

[CaptainSlow]

After playing Halo 2A, the most jarring thing to me heading over to Halo 3 wasn't the graphics, but the sounds of the guns. Everything in H3 sounds muffled in comparison.

 

[DudeWithNoName]

Thanks for posting this. Mrmet04 is now on my ban list. Let's get enough people to ban him so his reputation tanks. Then he'll only ever get to play with other jackasses like himself.

I just blocked him in smartglass. Is that what will drop his rep? Or is there somewhere else to do this?

 

[Welfare]

This clip is of the first time.

Fucking bullshit

 

[JesseZao]

If rep is anything like 360 rep, it's meaningless.

 

[Macho Madness]

I didn't get a clip of it but earlier, I went into Slayer matchmaking and it threw me into a custom game by myself when the game finally loaded. That was a trip.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Does the bandanna skull disable achievements?

 

[Macho Madness]

I reported him after the game, so hopefully the mods will take care of the rest. I don't think reputation does much.

 

[Vein]

I like Halo so I have nothing against it and surely hope it does well this holiday. But I think, personally, the bigger story is how the press just let this pass.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to state an opinion. If this US press is not bought out then why do we never see these intensely, and I mean INTENSELY negative reviews about the Xbox games. You would think out of every reviewer that one noticed these issues at launch.

Then again Driveclub got hammered for servers, something barely even mentioned in reviews, yet the game had a case of major concern hate even among the professionals. AssCreed got hammered for its problems and no one was shy about it. Now this comes along. A port so shoddy one could almost predict the 6 months it needed in the oven.

Fast forward to Halo reviews: not one damn mention of these problems in one damn review I read before launch. How does this happen? I'm not too mad I spent 60 on this, but the game's framerate is not what I call 60 dollar type of framerate here. This needed more time.

 

[Welfare]

Does the bandanna skull disable achievements?

Scarab skull doesn't, so neither should Bandanna.

 

[soxinthebox]

That just happened to me in MCC.
Closed game, opened it again and it went back to normal.

Grunt birthday all day every day

 

[statham]

Yesterday a dude drops in front of me, doesn't know I'm behind him, I shoot him constantly, he turns round and kills me instantly...... I'll revisit Halo in a month.

 

[Korosenai]

Well damn, alright. I'll just wait til there is a concrete guide on it so I don't end up wasting my time.

 

[mbmonk]

It actually works to my knowledge. I have a friend who talks a lot of junk on COD. His rep is so bad that he can only play with other poor reputation players on X1, so if he joins a BF4 game he is the only one in the server. He has moved over to his PS4 now for this and other reasons.

I have been good friends with him for 14 years, so I doubt he is lying about it. Though I haven't verified this first hand.

 

[Magwik]

All of the original geometry in Halo 2 is still broken, skipping all the encounters in the 2nd mission is as fun as ever.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Ha, really? Guess it's time to beat Halo 2 on Legendary again.

 

[EroticSushi]

Are you sure? When I use a skull that has a 0.00 multiplier, it says achievements will be disabled.

I know something similar happened to a friend a mine. We've played together on XBL since the XBL launched and he was always a huge trash talker and it got so bad around Titanfall launch that even I couldn't play with him more. it was all "fuck this, fuck that, fuck you, you piece of fuck" over and over. Dudes rep is garbage now and would hardly get placed in any games so he never renewed his XBL sub. He's still my friend but god damn I'm glad I never have to play with him on Live anymore.

lol! This has been me for every Halo game ever released. EVER!

RoosterTeeth did their achievement guides with Envy and Scarab skull.

I also did the Return of Megg achievement with the Scarab skull.

"Don't listen to thier lies"

 

[KevinG]

Apparently getting the win a match achievement doesn't require it be a match with anyone but yourself. Just unlocked "Win 10 Matches" while getting the BLAST cans.

Are those problems lag related?
I did a match before yesterday that I could swear I was shooting the hell of the guy but he didnt die once and killed the hell out of me.

I want to be reminded of how to perform this magic.

Oh wow. Guess I'll finish off H2 on Legendary then.

 

[GluedOnBeard]

I think they changed all playlist max size so there's a higher chance people get matchmade. It's temporary.

Thanks good to know it isn't yet another bug!

P2P

Damn... that explains a lot then. The end of the match was 50 kills vs 14 kills, for them (2v2).

It is impossible to play this game MP right now. I mean... to be 2~15 minutes (if not even more) waiting for each match, to then experience some shit like that, and in the end experience a crash or infinity loading screen? No fucking way. I'm not touching this MP again till their next patch... and it better solve this shit.

 

[Magwik]

Funny thing is, I actually never went online (I was also like 8/9 at the time) to find this stuff out. Me and a friend were watching G4 and saw the skull guide and just applied the same methods to the first and second mission. When you get up to the skull area you turn around and grenade jump on the ledge behind you. I'm uploading the clip of how to right now but for now here's another.

[TriStateTryHard]

Mind going further into detail on what you like more about Halo 3 over H2A? What feels better about the H3 BR over the one in H2A?

I am/was a H3 hater but even I can see the crazy bullet magnetism on every weapon like the BR and Sniper in H2A, just like they were in H4.

Newsflash: H4 and H2A don't have some super great bullet registration system. They just register all near misses as hits.

 

[HiiiLife]

Dat rank reset. So that's how it feels.

 

[Ghazi]

Dat rank reset. So that's how it feels.

Stuff like that, frankly, is why I'm waiting to play MP until they fix most of the bugs. I've played a decent bit of the campaigns, but I'm very adamant to do anything serious (Legendary, LASO, or achievement runs) until they fix the disappearing saves and issues there. Basically, I'm putting the game down until most of this stuff is fixed. My friends were bitching at me the other day for being a debbie downer when I told them I'd rather be playing Destiny or Titanfall right now over MCC. But, in my defense, these are people that enjoy SMG starts on Bloodline. Had you told me that I would be playing them before MCC came out, I'd die of laughter. Now, it's the cruel reality

 

[E92 M3]

As a huge Halo fan, it's the saddest thing ever to see a launch like this. I hope the Wednesday updates adds some real progress.

 

[RaptorGTA]

The few games I get in...most of my team quites..either rage quite or get disconnected..Me vs 4 players hogging power weapons...eh..

I keep telling myself the same thing. And yet, I keep coming back.

Non-dedicated server matches are horrible.

 

[Sephzilla]

Non-dedicated server matches are horrible.

Eh, I think they're plenty playable. It's just that you can definitely tell the difference between pop and dedicated

 

[Megasoum]

So huh... I guess the game loosing my checkpoint is a known issue?

I stopped playing halfway through a Halo 2 level last night. Now when I check the main menu I only have the Quickstart and Missions option but it still says I completed 3/15 levels...

 

[jay23]

So is there any way to download created maps by other people? I noticed the search function is gone.

 

[Tunavi]

I can only get 1 matchmaking game per restart

might work for yall

 

[Skullface]

Non-dedicated server matches are horrible.

I'll be honest, I'm not minding them too much. Just practice for when shit gets better

 

[Oozer3993]

Are you supposed to be able to return the flag with a button press in H2A? Because you can. I just did it in a game of 1 Flag on Stonetown.

 

[Ghazi]

After the timer, I believe the flag auto resets.

 

[_woLf]

My sample ratio for uneven players on teams for team slayer has the team with less players winning 100% of the time. No exaggeration. And it is usually by at LEAST 10 kills.

I don't even know how to explain that. Sigh.

 

[HiiiLife]

Why are you playing ranked with all of the glitches going on with this game?

Because I feel like playing Halo 2 Anniversary.

 

[mhi]

Why does it feel like H2A multi is what H4 should have been ?
