ARBITER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!! WORT WORT WORT.

So, I play H2 stock, no updates, no map packs, nothing. When Bungie updated the melees and everything else, did it make the melees stronger in just multiplayer, or did they get stronger in campaign too? Anybody know?

No update has changed any aspect of the campaign. The updates only changed the multiplayer side of Halo 2 only.

What about the Battle rifle... did that get the pinpoint accuracy in campaign after the updates?

Nope. Nothing has changed in the campaign.

I have a question. If i update H2 can i ever revert back to the previous version? Im guessing no without altering the hard disk.

Yes you can revert back by going into the dashboard and deleting Halo 2 completely from the hard drive. You'll lose your profiles, gametypes, downloaded maps, etc in the process.

He's right. I wanted to go back to no updates, as the first update making it 1.1 changed the effect of the Black Eye skull on the snow. Originally, it was picking up the skull that acted like a switch. Pick it up, snow is off. Pick it up again, snow is on. Pick it up again, snow is off... etc etc. With the updates, it's random when the snow comes back and goes away after initially going away. So yeah, updates did mess with the campaign some. I have one box with updates and another without. It's handy when hunting for TUE because what I say isn't always true with somebody else's findings... the snow with Black Eye being the biggest one I've known about.

That's interesting. I knew the skull turned off the snow which lead me to habitually pick up the skull before I played on Lockout but never learned about the subtle nuances on the weather that changed post update.
