I have been playing through Halo 2 and have encountered a save bug that is so frustrating to me I am done with the game entirely.
First, I have to say I am not a huge Halo fan, never have been. I always considered the franchise a bit overrated. That changed as I played through Halo CE, for the first time in many attempts to play this game I thoroughly enjoyed it. I played the game 'til 4 in the morning completing it and when I was done I wanted more Halo.
Playing through Halo 2 has been a nightmare, none of the checkpoints or game saves are working past Metropolis. I've spent 2 days playing through Halo 2 and this is the third time it has kicked me back to the Metropolis stage. I don't know what's going on or how to even report this stupid bug, but it has totally ruined the experience for me. I refuse to play through it again to have the game save and checkpoints not matter.
I am so angry right now I slammed my Xbox One controller for the first time. I was really enjoying the game but not enough to replay the same areas 3-4 times. And I know you can choose the stage to start on but it still leaves me playing through an area I have previously played through and it this point that is unacceptable to me.
This did not happen with Halo CE and I have no idea if it's going on with the other Halo's as well. I have no plan to find out now either, I think MS and 343 released this game too early. Even if they patch this in a few weeks it will be to late. I will have moved on and my hunger for Halo will be satisfied by Far Cry 4 and Smash Bros.
Edit: I noticed one of Xbox Ones features isn't working with this title as well. If you turn your console to stand by mode and return a few hours later, you can usually pick up right where you left off. Not so with Halo MCC.
Edit 2: The feature works with Halo CE and I am guessing it may work for the other games as well. However, it is not working with Halo 2.
