There is a glitch which causes Halo 2 to draw ghost images of a scene over other scenes. Has this since been resolved?

Thanks!

Yup, very obnoxious those shadows. The way MS resolved it was to fix the problem with the H2 emulator on the newer machines. Tough luck for those of us who bought an early model.

So, if you bought what you thought was a new 360, it wasn't. If you bought a used 360 the only way to get the ghost/shadow off is to start at a checkpoint before it happened, restart the level or sometimes a loadzone will take it off.

From when do you consider a 360 a new machine?
Also, MS can't release a downloadable patch? *rolls eyes*

So, not a really big deal, but it is a nuisance... ?

Yeah, it's really a nuisance for me because I like to film tricks and glitches. Nothing like working for hours on one specific setup, just to have the shadow appear. Instead of buying another, newer, 360 I picked up an old xbox for $30 and play H2 on that.

I don't know when the time line was for the newer versions. I've only seen people posting that the newer machines don't shadow but I don't know for sure. MS has never acknowledged there was a problem. I think I stopped seeing so many complaints within the last year or so.

Okay, thanks for clarifying.
