Subject: Two Betrayals No Snow Bug!

Warning!: Hitch-hikers may be escaped convicts.

Every time I play Two Betrayals in Halo: Anniversary, starting from the beginning of the level, I don't get any snowfall effects in the later parts of the level. I get them when you first walk outside from the control room, but almost everywhere else, there's nothing coming down, when there should be.

Snow is present when I'm on the bridges higher up in the canyons, but not the next time I'm on the ground, or the next time you get a banshee in the area with the tall "pillar" in the center.

If I quit and boot up my last save in these areas, I get the snow effects back, but in some areas it dissapears again. Every walkthrough of this mission I find online has no problems anywhere throughout the level. Although there was one video I saw done in split-screen coop where the bottom screen guy seemed to have this bug. The top screen was fine, and strangely, the bottom screen regained the snow after repeated deaths, but eventually lost it again. I'm playing on Heroic, with probably 10 or so deaths before these sections, so maybe dying has something to do with it...

This mission's outdoor areas look a little odd and quite bland without snowfall everywhere, and for me this is a problem. So please, if anyone else has encountered this bug, or has anything helpful to say on the matter, please let me know. Thanks.

Sorry, this is not the really an active forum.


OT: Hm, strange? I have never really had this, though I have never really payed attention. However, I do remember when playing the level that it was heavily snowing due to a blizzard.

Switch to Classic and see if it's snowing when it isn't in Anniversary.

Yeah, during what's supposed to be a heavy snowfall area (the low area where you find the warthog), there's just lots of white fog, which combined with snow should look like a blizard. But there's no snowfall to be found, so it just ends up looking odd.

Thanks for replying by the way.

Every outdoor place in this level has snow all the time in classic mode. The way snow particle effects are done in the remastered visuals are completely different than the way they were originally done in classic mode's though. So I guess maybe the new method is buggier? Well for my disc anyway.

I checked some gameplay(this video last couple minutes, idiot used Two Betrayals at the beginning), and there's definitely snow at every section of the level outdoors. I'd clean your disc and check again.

I have encountered it before. It went away the next time I started the level again. To be honest, the snow makes it much more difficult. You should count yourself lucky.

Wow. This means my disc isn't defective then I guess. But I'm tired of being "lucky" everytime; I've yet to play without this bug. Oh well, one day...
