As soon as you install XBox Live it will Upgrade to Version 3.0 aka Tsunami. You wont see any difference yet with 2.0 and 3.0 (if you have ever seen 2.0) since the differences have to be programmed with the game.

Current (and visible) improvements are:
(1) Xbox Live Dashboard is now 480p (A setting for HDTV users)
(2) You can leave up to 15 seconds of voice mail onto other users accounts, but only from the Xbox Live Dashboard (it will change in the future that new games will incorporate being able to leave voicemail with chat and/or friend request)

Future Xbox live improvements
(1) Team Lists (aka Clan List) - So clan members will have a list only for their clan
(2) Team Rankings (clan rankings) - rankings will be for individuals and for clans
(3) Online tournament creations - no explanation needed
(4) Video conferencing with up to 3 other people (with added cam purchase)

Thats all that I can think of now, and supposedly Bungie is working on some really cool, top secret CENSORED. But if I tell you about the CENSORED, then I'd have to kill Frankie....

Another feature to be added is online storage. So you can upload stuff to online servers like replays, clan logos, maps (if the game supports a map editor I suppose) or anything else a dev can dream up. MSN support is also working now so you can see your buddy list in MSN messenger and if you have a MSN suported cell phone you can get game invites to your cell.

Thanks Alert, I think he got the rest of the things that I forgot.


HOWEVER, there is one feature that another XboxLive game has (Steel Battalion 2). You can save your online battles to review them later for strategy or for fun...AND you can also trade the files, and trade emblems, etc....Very cool and I hope Halo 2 doesnt miss out on the replay feature!
