Microsoft is listening: Halo 2 upgraded
November 18, 2004 6:20 PM
For all my complaining about the problems with Halo 2 you'd think I wouldn't recommend the game. Actually I've been playing just about every night and I'm totally hooked, even with the issues I listed, and I still strongly recommend the game.
Having said that, Microsoft has been listening to the complaints (I wasn't the only one bitching) and has already made available an auto update for Halo 2. Next time you sign onto XBOX Live with Halo 2 it will download and install. It takes about 10 seconds and stores the files on the XBOX hard drive.
The fixes:
- Matchmaking fix - much faster find and connect time, one of my biggest complaints.
- 480p (HDTV) fix - some screens cut off the HUD. This fixes it.
- Foundation - new multiplayer map with support for 4 team CTF.
They still haven't added a server browser. I still hope to see it because there are times I just want to play one or two friends on a server with 14 other people and nobody else on my friends list is online. I'd also like to see even more maps. Bungie (the dev team that made Halo 2) has announced that there will be more downloadable levels but hasn't said when.

There were a few old halo maps you could leave out, but the essetials:
Hang Em'
SidewinderPLUS we need the Halo PC new maps. Infinity (looks like a figure eight, hence the name) is the best map in the Halo series in my opinion.
