Okay, Halo had my profile stuck on Heroic/The Maw for a while. I decided to change it, but I didn't know how, so I figured I'd rename it in-game and then make a new one and try to copy my checkpoints and so on over. Well, after typing my new name, Halo borked on me. Froze up, alt-tab/ctrl-alt-del/windows button, none of it worked. Had to shut off my computer.

And of course, doing so meant that it didn't finish whatever it was doing.

So now I have a profile with the *wrong* name. I try to change it back, it insists there's already a profile with that name.

Having gone through everything I can think of, I came upon the obvious solution: rename the files with my "old" name to the "new" one. <insert "Hmm, that's a good idea!" joke here>

Bing! Works. Still started to hang up, though, I had to leave it for a good five minutes before it stopped looping the same two seconds of audio and saved it. <insert "I am a genius. Hehehehe." joke here>

AAANYWAY (I'm not rambling at all, am I?)

Now I'm very pleased with myself to be back to the original problem: My profile keeps saying I'm on Heroic, in the Maw, when I'm on Legendary, in the Library.

....

Why? How do I make it update to where I actually am? If I make a new profile, it says Normal/The POA, so I know it's not that I have to finish the whole game or anything.

This isn't crucial, but it is annoying.

That sucks, but you really dont have much of a choice but to go through the entire game again on Legendary. Unless you find a way to move your files from one to another by digging into the computer files.

You do realize that you can switch difficulty per level? Ex: play PoA on easy, play Halo on Legendary, play T&R on Normal, then play SC on Heroic.

Wait, wait, wait! Are you saying you started a new profile, went through all that crap to get your name on it, and are at Legendary whatever (I forget what level you said) or are you talking about your profile thats all the way through the maw? Cause it just says the farthest level you've completed and the hardest difficulty you've done on it.

Okay, yes I realize I can play whatever level I want on whatever difficulty I want.

Here's the problem, simplified.

I played through the game on Normal, and beat it. Then I played it on Heroic and beat it. Now I'm on Legendary, in the Library. The profile screen says I'm on Heroic and in the Maw still. If it was working normally, based on what I've seen, it should say either Legendary and Library or Legendary and the one right before it (343 GS I think).

Like I said, it's not a huge deal, but it's somewhat annoying.
