Hi,

I finally stopped playing World of Warcraft, and decided to beat Heroic mode for the first time in H2V (I originally beat it 7 times on Normal mode.)

Well, I wanted the Hero achievement, but after I beat it, nothing showed. What does this mean? I think it might have something to do with me losing my internet connection while I was playing at some point in the game.

I am obviously missing a level that I completed while not logged into GFWLive. Is there anyway to check before I start the game from the beginning, and have a 10 hour marathon to beat the game again?

No one really knows how the system works. It does not give you any visible indication on where you are. The safest bet is to replay the game.

Ahh. Nothing like figuring out you have to beat Halo 2 again.

Just beat it on legendary and you'll get both achievements.

You've played through the H2 campaign more than once? :0

Voluntarily?

Killed Tartarus on Legendary and nothing happened. Guess you do have to play the entire game again.

BTW is there a way to skip all those credits? Seeing Cortana with Gravemind is sooo not worth it

Ok heres what you do.

Goto your halo 2 maps folder

Usually:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\maps

Now. See your 00a_introduction.map file?

Move 01b_spacestation-08b_detlacontrol somewhere else

Make 14 more copys of that. then rename the copys
01a_tutorial
01b_spacestation
03a_oldmombasa
03b_newmombasa
04a_gasgiant
04b_floodlab
05a_deltaapproach
05b_deltatowers
06a_sentinelwalls
06b_floodzone
07a_highcharity
07b_forerunnership
08a_deltacliffs
08b_deltacontrol


Then just do it on legendary.

Everytime you see the intro start hit enter or A on the controler
It will be alot of loading screens but its faster than doing the whole game again.

After you got what you came for just put the old maps back.

Did it myself

I found that it messed up somewhere and I didnt want to redo it so I did what I said above

Slaying noobs since 2007.

Well, hypothetically speaking, yes, but if you want to watch the cutscenes, you will be a little disappointed.

Lol, I killed Tartarsauce with a sword. I think I must've cut his mutated monkey nuts off or something, cuz we went down easy.

His actual health is pretty low. Probably around twice of a brute. I killed with about 5 brute shot... shots.

Anyways, I'm going to go get hero and legend right now.

I'll try it. I've already seen the cutscenes, and can download them from HBO. I hope it works. But if it doesn't ... EXTREME ANGER!!! Thx for the tip, it looks like it makes sense.

Last time you posted, Recoton007, I clearly remember you said you would probably never post in these forums again after you got Halo 2 Vista. :P

How keen of you, in recalling that statement, such a long while ago...
