When you beat Halo 2 Anniversary in Legendary Coop... No Achievements... GG...

[DangerDraco-1096-]

Hours of suffering and slowly being made into a masochist... We get ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for all that lol.
Honestly felt like a chore playing it half way in on Legendary. I'd say we died about 100+ time each and more so due to them ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Jackal snipers... I now use EXTRA firepower on them :)

Fix the damn achievements cause that was horrid and we ain't doing that again. I suffered through that and I played every Halo on Legendary. We don't talk about that last Halo though.
Still saddening to not get half the achievements for it though.

The Legendary achievement itself isn't completely bugged, unlike completing the campaign on Easy.

Sometimes there is a delay, sometimes you have to play an extra mission, sometimes you have to just restart the game (I had to restart the game for Monopolised to pop).

But also, check in the missions menu to make sure the game says every single mission has actually been completed on Legendary.

When you play the game in Co-op, it tends to skip the first 'levels'.
The Heretic, ie the cutscene and The Armory, ie the little tutorial/control configuration).
Even though Heretic is literally just a cutscene, you must still sit through it on Legendary for it to count as the whole campaign being completed.

I did play the first ones alone on Legendary but then got into COOP with my friend and we were on that since like, 8 yesterday and just got done about 20 minutes ago lol. I'll do the above though and try it out.

Well I sat through it again... Nothing... We did every mission in COOP Legendary though the first two are solo only and wee got that. Restarted the game and such also. Wondering if I need to do a whole play through one normal solo since I did only the flight missions... *shrug* Otherwise it must be bugged as I can even SS it that every one is done.

It's "bugged" because it's true, since you can't complete heretic and armory on co-op technically the main story is not complete, that's why the achievement does not pop up, it's some serious ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because you SHOULD be able to unlock it on co-op, the most likely solution will be to wait for a patch to fix this or just replay it again on solo

How about... A ♥♥♥♥ NO~

Lol... I'd shoot myself for even playing that ♥♥♥♥ in solo after all the BS the whole night me and my buddy went through. Legit Halo 2 Legendary is easily the hardest one of them all and it makes you cry eventually or feel dead inside wondering wtf am I doing with my time and life?

I'll just sit about the forums like everyone else here and for some reason love to cry, rage, and reee about "Issues" related to my game on my supposedly ♥♥♥♥♥♥ hardware with the GPU being made 2017 and my specs on my steam...

Maybe that would totally get them to fix my Legendary play through done quicker.

Jokes aside, yeah I'll wait a bit see what happens. Doing that run made me say ♥♥♥♥ Halo 2 for a little lmfao.

Chuck a support ticket up at support.halowaypoint.com

[DangerDraco-1096-]

Pretty sure it's been done by now. I've dropped support a few tickets before back in the days. Usually ports end up being a waiting game for this stuff anyways and with how Halo 2 Legendary is I defo won't be the first and or last to report this. I got some other games I got atm I've been meaning to do anyways. I've been on my whole 15 hours of time last night and today...

Please do make one if you find yourself with the time - even if you reckon others have submitted the same issue already, getting more info on where and who it's happening to might help in fixing it faster or more comprehensively.

Main things to do are:

Check in the Career screens and see what it says your status is for the Legend Achievement under the Halo 2 campaign listing.
It should be tracking the progress. If the bar is full, then it should just be a matter of time.
If its not, then you know the game considers something as being missed.

...Something like that actually happened with Reach when I ran it in co-op.
Something like a connection drop-out on the loading screens between levels invalidated the previous level being counted as completed.

If the progress tracker IS full, check your Xbox profile.
Xbox Live and Steam achievements are treated as separate entities.
Whilst Generous Tipper (Par time on Tip of the Spear) was bugged as a Steam achievement on launch, it was still unlocking on the associated Xbox profile, which is why I have two different unlock dates for that one, despite only playing Reach via PC/Steam.

If the tracker bar is full, but it hasn't unlocked on either your Xbox profile or Steam after a 24 hour period, then that would seem to be a brand new achievement bug either exclusive to the PC, or this particular build of the MCC.

Ha... Ha Ha... *Shoots self*

5/13 done on Legendary on the Career screen for "Legendary Anniversary" There is 15 missions... First two didn't count it seems for this achievement. I swear if it's only counting my flighting missions Imma be pisssssssed lol.

Edit: Says I haven't even done 3/4ths the entire campaign in general... GG.

It doesn't count any flighting, all the progression from flighting is on a different profile/storage than the released game.

[DangerDraco-1096-]

Yeah I was wondering that it might of though but *Shrug* Dunno wtf it is then. I added an edit above.

[DangerDraco-1096-]

But yeah the game DOES recognize I have done it today/last night on coop Legendary but just fails to say it or do so in the careers tab saying I've done 5 of 13 missions only and that everything from Delta Halo on wards has not been done yet in the campaign menu it does show we did it and we only had two issues where we lost connection to each other but we left, restarted MCC and went on our way so that shouldn't be it...

Edit again... 5/13 missions yet I've only done two in single player with the 2 cut scenes also.

[BrySkye]

My guess would be like what I described happened to me on Reach.
For whatever reason, some of the co-op missions just didn't get counted as being completed. After finishing the campaign in co-op, the tracker said we'd missed two or three missions.

MS can be pretty strict about achievement parameters, so its always possible something like a connection hanging for a few seconds could flag a level as being invalid for achievement progress to rule out shenanigans, that kind of thing.
Or just one of those unfortunate random things.

The good news is, you don't have to do the entire campaign.
...Bad news is, there's no way of telling for sure which levels the game didn't count.

For what its worth, I'd honestly say Legendary is easier solo than co-op in this case.
Potential lag issues and friendly fire get ruled out, so its can be less painful, if a slow slog.
I'd also recommend looking up some of the speedrun tricks which will help you skip huge sections of the levels and stop enemies from spawning.

I think you might also be able to enable the Bandana and Scarab Gun skulls as well.
IIRC, they only disable Par Time and Score based achievements.
That's not an absolute definite, but its worth keeping in mind

pfffft ... try completing all levels on legendary only to find out that only halo 4 and halo reach have an achievement for completing all levels on legendary solo



but do not fret deer player ... all of the games have an achievement for completing all levels on legendary in under three hours
