I've had Halo 2 from when it first came out, but I didnt have xbox live. I didnt even know a patch existed for Halo 2. So what did I miss in this patch? Also, I bought the map pack cd when it came out, so did that update my game for me?

the last update officially reset the ranks. The update before that was the melee increase, and the decrease in duel wielding power.

The map pack did not update the game for you. When you have live, you have to download two more maps in order to play matchmaking.

So if i never updated, I guess ive been doing lans with weak melees and powerful dualwielding, meanwhile everyone else is having a diff halo 2 experience?

I like Call of Duty and Gears of War, AND Halo. Why must everyone else like only one or the other?

The Halo2 Multiplayer Map Pack disc comes with the Halo2 1.1 update and in order to play the new maps on the disc you have to install the update. So you have been playing it with the better melee attacks, more accurate BR, weakened magnums, and better grenades. So don't worry. The other updates to the game from Xbox Live after the 1.1 patch have, at least as far as I can remember, only been dealing with glitches and things like that.

The map pack disc you bought DID update your game. You're playing with the latest gameplay tweaks. To verify you should see on the lower right side of the main menu (where it says press start to login) a tiny "1.1"
