NOTES:
- Please note that mid-mission saves will
not transfer between PC and Xbox One as they are not compatible.
- Steam is self-contained and will not impact Xbox or Windows Store saves.
-
This basically means that if you Save & Quit on PC at a checkpoint mid-mission, you must resume your progress on PC as well.-- Source:

load screen for The Maw mission- Hop in a Warthog and escape as fast as you can to the end of the mission. You will have 5 minutes to escape. This is actually the easiest part of the whole mission.
- Keep going until you reach a point with barrels that block your path toward the Longsword (aircraft) docked in Launch Bay 7.
- Once you reach Launch Bay 7, you must exit your Warthog and proceed on foot to the aircraft.
- If you made it in time, you will see a cut scene with the Master Chief running into the aircraft.
- You will be taken back to the
Halo: CE mission playlists screen.
