Yall need to shut the hell up and calm the hell down if you don't understand the process of server propagation. Most of it is automated, and it's going to take a while. There's a lot that has to be changed server-side. It's not like turning on a light switch labeled "UPDATE THEM BIATCHES". It's going to take time, and there isn't much that a human can do to speed it up. To ensure that everything gets hit, and that none of the servers are left out, they have to let it run by automation.

Also, you guys DID read the article, right? Cuz from your comments, it doesn't sound like it. They said that it will take a while before it hits EVERYONE. For all you guys know, the update is already in effect for a lot of people, and they don't really feel like coming online to tell us about it. They're having too much damn fun.

So be patient, and calm down. If you haven't gotten the update by tomorrow morning, by all means, -blam!- all you want. Otherwise, don't waste our time scrolling through page after page of this garbage

Truth is, Bungie did say something about how late the update would be. Here is what's up with the update guys. If you read the update area more carefuly, they do say, "Don't worry if you don't get the update first thing in the morning, it will be in your neighborhood eventually." Translation; it won't be out in the morning for everyone. Yeah I am kind of hating this wait, but it will be worth it.

To Bungie*
And about the weapon balances; being able to kill someone in one hit is not like Halo:Combat Evolved. I think the idea of insta-killing is terrible, that is why I think the plasma pistol tracking should have been reduced a little. But, I know, you guys know what you are doing. And apparently you don't care if a complete noobie with a Plasma Pistol-Battle Rifle combo can own an experienced person who never uses it because he knows it is overpowered, even though he would do much better with it. - hehe... Oh well, you decided what you wanted changed, and we may not like it all at first, but I might learn to love it.

So...no one has reported as being able to download the AU yet? I'm in Central Time Zone, 9:30 here, but I won't be able to check it until at least 12:30 when I'm off work. I hope they get it out in my area at least early afternoon. I can't wait to try out the new 'nades!

Obviously You have not played halo combat evolved alot. If you have You will notice that the grenades are more powerful and much more accurate.

In halo 2s current shape halo 1 is a much better game! me and alot of other experts that have halo1 and have alot of cool extras for it will aggree with me on this one.

I have over 100 added maps to halo 1.

The originals I still love and I like the snipers in it better because the auto aim isnt there for the noobs like it is on halo 2.

Hopefully this auto update and weapons balance will fix everything and make halo 2 the game it was supposed to be. All you impatient noobs cant wait so thus they release a product earlier than expected.

Thus you have to give more of your waiting time for the better game!

well, here in florida, 11am, nothing yet.
I'm not even going to start playing untill it is out, because , like was said before, everyone of the sorry cheaters has been doing it in the past few days.

Now, anyone out there who wants to play a real game ( I used to be a 14, but have been slipping in the past week) send me a friend request crypysmoker.
I cant wait to play a real game for a change.

Thank you bungie.

Now... what about the maps....... :P)

Obviously You have not played halo combat evolved alot. If you have You will notice that the grenades are more powerful and much more accurate.
Actually I do play a lot, me and my brothers prefer it for lan, so next time try not to FBait.
And obviously you misunderstood my post- I said I do not like Insta-killing. I do know that in Halo 1 the grenades are much better. But this update for halo 2 is not only making them better, they are making it possible to insta-kill with them (Kill with only 1 grenade.) On halo 1 can you kill someone with 1 grenade? No.....

In halo 2s current shape halo 1 is a much better game! me and alot of other experts that have halo1 and have alot of cool extras for it will aggree with me on this one.
Yeah, did I say it wasn't? - hehe - We don't even have all the "Cool Extras" for halo, and we love it all the same (We being me and my 4 brothers)

The originals I still love and I like the snipers in it better because the auto aim isnt there for the noobs like it is on halo 2.
Actually, two things: First, the sniper is more realistic on Halo 2. They have it how they wanted it. It goes the range that it can, (1/3 the way across Coagulation) and then it slows dramaticly. Second, I agree-Halo 1 sniping does take much more skill, and I wish that would be one of the things Bungie changes next.

All you impatient noobs cant wait so thus they release a product earlier than expected.
One expression fits this phrase... FBait- (People are Newbs until proven to be a Noob, if you need proof that they are actually seperate meanings, PM me.)

Thus you have to give more of your waiting time for the better game!
- We are still waiting aren't we? - Hehe. - Everyone knows the longer you wait the better it will be... Thats why Millions of people hated Halo 2 after three years of waiting? <-Sarcasticly<- hehehe.
