ok so im playing halo 1 and right now im getting pissed off by the stupid saving. i saved in one place after a checkpoint and it took me right back to the start of the level when i turned off my 360. stupid stuff. im not gonna beat a whole level just to save the game. so can someone tell me either how to save and be at that spot, or if i need to play halo 1 to get into 3? or can i just stuff the story and go through 3 and back to one later? or do i need to play it..... im loving halo 1 but just the save system thats getting annoying.

any advice/ help would be great :)

I would just suggest you to go through Halo 1 because iI personally wouldn't want to spoil some parts of the story and if you continue your adventure in Halo 3 it would leave you a little bit confused.

IF YOU PLAYED HALO 3 AND ENJOY IT DONT PLAY HALO 1....PLAY HALO 2.

HALO 1 SUCKS...I PASSED IT AND I DID NOT ENJOY IT.......

I PREFER A GAME BEING SHORT AND FUN....THAN LONG AND BORING AND REPETETIVE LIKE HALO 1.

The game autosaves, but when you're ready to turn it off, pause it and select "Save and Quit."

And yes, I personally reccommend playing through both Halo 1 and 2 before tackling the Halo 3 campaign, just helps everything makes sense and is a ton more fun than reading "cliffnotes" online :roll: Also, ignore the "all caps" post; Halo 1 kicked off the whole Halo phenom; how bad could it be? I love all three games, myself...

the best thing that you could do is play the games in order, and yeah you pretty much have to play the whole mission to get it to save, but just make sure you have at least an hour to play through each mission, enjoy!

Halo: Combat Evolved will always be remembered by any objective observer as one of the best single player experiences in the last Generation of consoles. You don't really need to play it and Halo 2 to enjoy Halo 3, but I would suggest you play it just for the experience of each of those games. but it will help you to get more immersed in the story when you understand the backstory, since there are a lot of references to things that happenned in the first two games. So basically, if you just want to play a great shooter, you can just play Halo 3, but if you want a great story, play the whole trilogy.

I don't know why it's not saving right for you. I have Halo 1 on the PC and it auto saves at checkpoints.

Anyway you really should play all the games in order to get the full experience.

Halo really more about the multiplayer than the story though.

when you start the game back up are you going to resume or are you just going to that mission and selecting it because you have to go to load last checkpoint if memory serves me right

Inorder to get the background story you need to play the previous titles. HELLO!!! That's ****ing obvious!!

Halo 3 sucks by the way, so I don't suggest you play this game.

Autosaves, when you want to quit thoug, press start and go to save and quit, don't just turn off your X-box. It will pick up from your last checkpoint.

I would advise you to play 1 & 2 first. There is quite a story you just wouldn't understand without playing the first 2.

The Answer to your question is No! You don't have to play Halo1 to play Halo 3 but I do recommend that you do so as to understand the storyline or just to find out how much of an upgrade 3 is over 1 but The Main point of the series is... Master chief is a kick butt Kinda Guy and no covenant is gonna stop him!
