Bugs that REALLY need Fixing.

[Timo]

I have the same processor as Patrick, and I get FPS issues only at the beginning of single player maps as they load. MP maps are fine. With 2gb of ram apposed to 1gb, the maps load alot faster, and there is no FPS lag whatsoever.

i run the game with everything on high, AA on 4x, @ 1024x768 res fs.

loads fast, runs smooth and all that good stuff.

i get anywhere from 60 to 130 fps, depending on whats going on.

<---------- my specs.

the thing that does piss me off tho, is the vehicle control, its terrible.

although turning off vsync, seemed to help a lil bit.

is there any solution to the Freezing problem ?

just out of curiosity....WHY are you playing it in Windowed Mode?

Sorry, I haven't checked this post in a while. I run windowed mode for various reasons.

Xfire for a major part of it. Currently no "In-Game" text support is enabled.

Two, I check forums while playing SP or MP. If I'm dead or just want a quick break, I tab out.

And on top of all that, I just think it's cool.

Why did you respond to the same quote in two posts?

You can call this a rant but I am sick and tired of the BUGS that are in this game. There is more than Halo 1!!!

1.) Game will sometimes not acknowledge a keystroke. happens in the main menu. The fix is too alt tab out...then go back in.

2.) Game will give you INVALID CHECKPOINTS 80% of the time regardless of game saves or not. Very upsetting indeed when you have to do the level all over again because of shoddy programming.

3.) Freezing randomly

4.) Stuttering

5.) When I was testing a map from a friend of mine the game said that I did not have enough hard drive space for the map.....this was on a 500GB Hard Drive with no secondary partitions and only 8GB used!!!!

6.) I was playing a level ( think that it was the one with the huge flying robots and the flood ) and after I got my acheivement it demanded that I put my CD back in....which I never needed before....then it returned me to the main menu.


So I am telling the members here that are responsible for this game.....please fix these issues.

I am getting bugs 2 and 3. I called Microsoft Game Support about the checkpoints thing and they said they would call back in a hour. Fast forward two days later, still no call. I called back and got disconnected when they where transferring me. Call again and get though to a tech that doesn't speak good English and doesn't speak up. He tells me that I might not be playing the game the right way and tells me to look up "Halo 2 PC Walk Though" on Google (Yes, he really did say to use Google. I wonder why he didn't say Windows Live! :P) After I tell him that a god damned walk though isn't going to help G4W Live to update my saves, he asks to view my computer. I reject for two reasons.
1. They don't need to view my computer to fix a G4W Live problem.
2. I have too many programs on my computer that I have signed NDAs for. Letting them view my computer would void them and I could be in a lot of trouble.
I then ask him if he would like to see a screenshot of the error. He accepts and I tell him the link to my site. He views the screenshot and takes about 10 minutes. He then tells me that there is 72 possibilities. He reads me off 3 of them. All of those three have to deal with starting the game over. I tell him that I am not starting over just because of some bad coding and then hang up. Microsoft Games Support is really bad and I hope someone can investigate.

Yup, checkpoint problem is pretty annoying. I beat the game on legendary a couple of weeks ago. I recently realized I never got the achievement for completing legendary. I loaded up my saved campaign and it gave me the checkpoint sync error. I figured I would have to restart the last level.... but I was wrong. I had to redo the last THREE levels on legendary.
Still no achievement.
Check campaign again, and get the checkpoint sync error. This time, it wants me to do the last TWO levels over again.

Thank god for the banshee trick when fighting tartarus; took me a LONG time to beat him on legendary the first time around (when I didn't know about trick).

I got the Checkpoint error once, and then all my other saves have been fine. :x
