RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Why is there so much lag in firefight? It usually only happens during the first and second set, then it gets better. It seems more like frame-rate lag than the usual Halo lag.

Also, there should be a way to pause the game for everyone, if everyone agrees. We made it to the 3rd set last night)(took about 3 hours) and this kid I was playing with had to eat dinner, and then we had to play with 3 people and our setup was too flawed without him, so we lost.


Alot of my friends have been having to restart missions to get new ones. The beacon keeps pointing him to the Recon helmet (his first mission). Any idea why that keeps happening?

Matchmaking in firefight please. All of my friends are whipped by their girlfriends and can only play once in a blue moon(it seems like).

I know this a complaint thread, but I have to say the campaign was awesome! Playing on heroic by yourself for your first playthrough is definitely the way to go.

Yes, this reminds of another complaint:

The game is sucking up too much of my time. Please make it less fun. Thank you.

Just do what I do when I have a problem... SCREAM!

We don't need multiple threads about the same problems.

The most annoying things I've seen lately are all the threads that belong in the classifieds.
But there's already a thread pertaining to this.
And it's stickied...

Some people are just dumb.

P.S. Thanks for this, the timing was perfect :)

Check out my youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/ultratog1028

i never got the "super sleuth" achievement even though i beat it on heroic. neither did my friend who beat it on legendary.

i don't like the fact that it doesn't auto save at checkpoints anymore. you must physically save and quit (which sucks if you've been playing a while and the power goes out.)

buck's hair is too damn perfect.

this game's campaign is too damn fun.

why when you select a mission, must you redo the previous missions afterwards?

this game is too awesome, you're going too force me to play it for a month.

  • 09.25.2009 7:36 AM PDT

If you guys can fix the firefight lag and that dreaded disc read error that I (and many others) have had for three days, it would be great...

  • 09.25.2009 7:41 AM PDT

Got the skills for the kills for the highlight reels!

Firefight Desperately needs matchmaking please

Firefight will lock up and go to "Connecting" for awhile before returning to game, or will return to lobby with everyone still there

Also - Ive died multiple times when replaying mombassa streets, due to when your in the pod, Beam rifle jackals are below, and i've been killed inside my pod (SOMEHOW)

OK, im here to complain, about all u idiots that whinge and moan and make stupid petitions about there being no matchmaking for firefight, if you'd actually look up the reason about why no matchmaking for firefight maybe you'd see. If Bungie was to make firefight on matchmaking, Halo 3: ODST wouldn't be out yet, the campaign and firefight is made off the Halo 3 system, unless you'd like Halo: REACH delayed a few more years and Halo 3:ODST co-op campaign/firefight xbox live co-op servers taken down for a couple years to re-write the coding i'd shut up and be grateful for what you've got, just wait and see if Halo: Reach has firefight, it may because this will be more realistic and on a whole new engine with better graphics, overall... shut up whinging idiots about no matchmaking for firefight.

yes well like alot of other halo fans i think that bungie should realy consider bringing matchmaking into firefight. also bungie has to do something about laging out of firefight. apart from thoes to problems bunie has made a great game that i will be playing for a long time.

thanks bungie

"The best way into a girl's bed is through her parents. Have sex with them, and you're in." --Zapp Brannigan

I love the game but there have been a lot of issues with "Lost Connections"

This is in Firefight and Capaign. My friends and I were on the fourth set of firefight on our way to the Vidmaster achievement and it "Lost Connection". That was an hour and a half down the toilet. Before that we have 4 game drops in a row in firefight and I had 4 drops in campaign before that. That is just in one night.

I am going to lose interest in playing this game if I CAN'T play the game.

Very frustrating, especially when I do not have problems playing any other games online with the same people.

Also, I beat the campaign on Legendary Co-Op and did not get the Super Sleuth Achievement. I even picked up the last clue myself. There have been issues with Co-Op achievements.

I think Buck's hair is just fine.

Great game...but please help.

Yay complaining! Grr at endure! I have done 4 major runs for endure all(as you can guess) ending up it not getting it. Two times someone has lagged out around the end of the third round. Once at the beggining to the 4th round it popped up a window that said error and kicked us. Finally the last time we beat the 4th round and during the bonus round with about 20 seconds left one person who already had endure left the game. Annoying to me that it has to say round five start before it unlocks the achievement. Sad face. The 4 in the endure pic must mean 4 failed attempts before you get it.

Also, I didn't get the super sleuth either, but I don't feel like I have waster 6 hours with that achievement.

Anyway, the game is awesome except for a few bugs. Campaign is fun, firefight is fun, the sayings are a riot.

All in all I believe it was worth 60$ and I love it. How could you not with voices from Firefly? I mean Dutch(Jane in Firefly) saying the line "This is Vera!" That is awesome!

Like halo 3, odst does not save profile data correctly. Already have experienced a loss of service tag and armor configuration.

Example: say firefight character is buck and service tag is "buck"... Come back the next day to see character rookie and service tag random letters and/or numbers.

Was hoping this would be fixed with odst... You have no idea how many times I had to unlock armor over and over again for my kids profile, only to have it disappear... Can't go through that again with odst... :(

  • 09.25.2009 8:53 AM PDT

for some reason my screen keeps flickering and flashing and ever since that happened ive been unable to acess any of my maps. It keep saying im restricted but ive done nothing wrong.
does anyone know if its possible to fix this anoying problem.

Subject: The only "omg I wanna complain for SUM RAISON" thread

me and 3 others were all playing for vidmaster endure and were 4th set last round when all 4 of us got simultaneously disconnected, but none of us had connection issues because we were able to sign in to live immediately after it happened

also, while im at it

I do wish that ODST had a standalone multiplayer matchmaking so you could play all the maps except as ODST's instead of spartans

and Bucks hair is too perfect
