I have an idea about autosaves and checkpoints for Single Player in Halo 2. (I hope they include something like this)


[color=white]The "Back" button the the Xbox controller (The one next to "Start") has no purpose in single player. (If it does please inform me what it does)

So what if they have the regular autosave checkpoints, but also include two Voluntary autosaves that you can use by pressing the "Back" button on the Xbox controller. You can access these autosaves on each Profile.

It would make everything so much easier. Warthog launching would be made simpler, and so would everything.[/color]

Thats my idea, tell me what you think of it.


Peace : )

sounds a lot like rainbow six 3's (xbox version) save system. ne way, i don't really think that'd work very well because halo's levels are so massive, the first time playing through, you may save both times too early and be stuck the rest of the way through. plus, the game tends to save itself after every major battle, so thee really isn't a need for manual saves

Actually i heard somewhere that the backbutton was going to be the "take morphin" button. That's why they don't have health anymore.

Oh,and in Halo 1, the back button for singleplayer was "do a little dance," but it was only animated in the third person. And because it caused framerate issues in coop it had to be disabled for coop play. So you'll never see it. But trust me, its there.


edit: in an attempt to come off not quite sounding so sarcastic, I'll say i like your idea. But i also likes Bungie's ideas, so I'm good with however they do things.

all right idea, but ur forgetting that there will be no hog launching as vehicle destruction would destroy it before it coulf be launched.
