Learn about Resume Game, Save Checkpoint, Load Checkpoint, Change Settings, and Quit options in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Resume Game: Use this option to return to the game you are currently playing.
  2. 2
    Save Checkpoint: If you need to stop playing, use this to save your progress at your last recorded (checkpoint). You can then quit the game. To load this saved (checkpoint), navigate to Campaign, then Load Game, and select the previously saved (checkpoint).
  3. 3
    Load Checkpoint: If a situation is not going well and you have recently reached a (checkpoint), you can use this to return to your last (checkpoint) to try a different approach. This option is particularly useful on harder difficulties.
  4. 4
    Change Settings: This functions identically to the "Settings" option on the main menu and will be detailed further in a separate section.
  5. 5
    Quit: This option exits the game without saving your current progress (unless you have previously used "Save Checkpoint"), returning you to the main screen.
Tips
  • Using "Save Checkpoint" before quitting is crucial if you want to retain your progress.
  • "Load Checkpoint" can be a lifesaver on higher difficulties when you make a mistake.
  • Remember that "Quit" will not save your progress unless a (checkpoint) has been explicitly saved beforehand.
