This thread is now locked due to how clogged it has become. We now have a new thread below.[RIP] Halo MCC Checkpoint Achievement Distribution #3The checkpoint sharing no longer works after the last update. There is a way to get the achievements if someone has the glitched checkpoints, but this distribution method of sharing will no longer work.
Original details below just to keep a record.
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***I offered to continue the checkpoint distribution thread that was ran by Shadow 00 Fox. A big thank you goes out to him for all his efforts. I'd also like to thank ThatGuy601 for getting me the checkpoints. You can find his original thread here.
Halo MCC 1,2,3,4, and SAGA checkpoint distribution center
What I'm looking for right now is the first group of people willing to distribute the checkpoints. Once I get the groups seeded I will start assigning people to the groups. Feel free to sign up either way and I'll get this thing rolling as quickly as possible.
Please don't offer to be one of those to distribute if you don't have the time or simply don't want to. You will still get on the lists to receive the checkpoints. It just saves everyone time and effort that way. And, You will be publicly shamed :)
----------------------------------------------------------
If you need to find a partner for Halo 1 LASO or Halo 2 LASO, please go to this thread!
Halo 1 LASO and Halo 2 LASO partner finding
---------------------------------------------------------
1. To join the distribution lists, simply post back in this thread and/or TA message me. Also indicate your willingness to help out with another group of 10.
2. Once you have the checkpoints, please message me that you can take
a group of ten if you are one of the volunteers! :-)
3. smittykid is NOT the person who will be helping you, rather group helpers
will be. Just to clarify, and so you aren't expecting that.
4. Just for fun, post a joke! And, thanks to DF I Phoenix for originating this work!
----------------------------------------------------------
How-To for group helpers and glitch fixes:*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***
1. When your group is finished, Please make sure to let know right away.
2. I recommend once you've taken a group of 10, that you:*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***
A. Post the group in the thread.
B. Add them to your friends list so you can see when they are online.
C. Message them either on TA or live or both that you are helping them get the checkpoints.
D. Give them 3-4 days to respond, or if you see them online and they don't respond, send them a warning message that they will be cancelled from getting the checkpoints.
E. No response, update your group in the forum thread with the strikethrough format and a note they didn't respond(DNR, DID NOT RESPOND, etc).
F. If they responded and got the checkpoints, please mark them off as completed!
3. Notes about the playlist saves:*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***
A. The host is the only one who has to do anything. Host invites the person who needs whichever checkpoint to the host's roster/game. Wait until you see the person in your game before selecting a 'resume' playlist.
B. These don't transfer saves 100% of the time. Halo 1 almost always works, Halo 2 works about 75% of the time, Halo 3 is weird, Halo 4 works about 25-50% of the time, and the MCC SAGA 25-50% of the time. If it didn't work, just try again with potential restarting of your games in between. (Press "Guide" button, then "Start" button, then "Quit")
C. For Halo 1 and 2, the save is at the beginning of the final mission. The host can skip the cutscene, then press "start" then "Save/Quit".
D. For Halo 3, 4, and the SAGA, the save is at the start of the final cutscene, so the host needs to Save/Quit as soon as the cutscene starts. *DO NOT SKIP the cutscenes or you will lose the checkpoints!
E. For Halo 3, it's weird because sometimes it pops the achievement when the host saves/quits. If it pops the achievement, then it did not save and the host will have to redo the process to get it to save.
F. For Halo 4 and the SAGA, the host has to press the "Guide" button, then return to the game with "B" or "A" to get the "Save/Quit" option to appear.
G. After doing a couple saves, and definitely before you're done, have the receiver check to make sure they have resume points for each playlist.
4. Possible Glitches:*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***A. If you get the "Playlist Updating" error, a possible fix is to go to the "Multiplayer", select "Find Game", then back out and check your playlists again. It should work now! If it doesn't you might have to restart your game.
B. If any of the Halo's crash during loading or saving, try again. If they crash again, try resetting your games to the dashboard... if it still doesn't work, hard reset(hold the power button down on your box until it turns off. If that doesn't work after a couple tries, you probably can't pass that checkpoint along to that person unfortunately, so I recommend finding a substitute in your group to pass it along.
C. If Halo 4 or the SAGA doesn't start loading in the first 5-10 seconds, it will not load successfully. One or both you has to dashboard and quit out of the game.
D. Sometimes the playlist just won't save. If that happens, the non-host should start the playlist SOLO until they can move their character, then save/quit. This normally helps with copying the save as it can now overwrite it.
E. UPDATE--if you are having save transfer troubles particularly for Halo 3 where it just won't save at all, and the cutscene is really laggy, wait longer before saving and quitting, maybe 5-10 seconds. I tried this finally and it worked first try for one person who just couldn't get the save no matter what we tried.
F. If Halo 4 or the SAGA don't work, then you can also try giving the host to the person who doesn't have the checkpoints and having them give it right back. Repeat stuff like this, repeat trying to give it, and eventually it usually works. Very glitch.
G. UPDATE 2--I found a new solution to pass the H3 checkpoint along if you can't get it to pass along or lost it and need it back! What I did after trying EVERYTHING else, was started up the H3 checkpoint cutscene, then did a countdown to 0. At the exact same time we both selected save/quit, and the checkpoint was shared! Hope that helps!
Someone asked what the checkpoint sharing is:*** Spoiler - click to reveal *** It's very simple--someone has a checkpoint saved from the last mission of each LASO campaign. Starting up the save will give the person playing the mission the LASO achievement, avoiding playing the ENTIRE LASO campaign.
Halo 1 and 2 you have to play the final missions.
Halo 3, 4, and the MCC Saga(normal difficulty) you just have to watch cutscenes.
The way the saves are passed along is the host(who has the saves) invites someone into his roster, starts up the LASO playlist needed, and selects 'save/quit' as soon as the mission or cutscene starts.
