Profile renaming trick for creating multiple saves
Posted By: RocksliderDate: 6/12/11 6:32 a.m.

In Response To: Why i wont be buying HCEA *article* (RC Master)


In your 'Superior Saves' section you said:

"The original Halo allowed you to have multiple profiles each with their own saved checkpoint; you could have one profile with a checkpoint mid-way through collecting grenades for a Warthog launch, and another were they were making their way through the campaign on Legendary. Since the Xbox 360 era of Halo it became prohibitively hard to do this since you also needed an Xbox 360, dashboard level profile in order to extract the same level of features."

However, that's not absolutely true. Back in 2007 I described a workaround called the 'profile renaming trick' which allows you to create multiple saves for H3, associated with a single profile not registered on Live. See Creating multiple saves in the H3 section of my site. It may well work for more games too, but H3 was all I was interested in. Figured I'd mention this in case you weren't aware of it; perhaps it might still come in useful!

But it was annoying to have to use a workaround of course, so I certainly echo your wish for CEA to make things convenient for someone interested in keeping multiple saves.
