let's say the bungie fans find that some weapon is just not level with others and send some feedback to bungie about it, will they fix the problem via xbox live?
and not just weapons, but any type of "glitches" tha fans may find in the game.
i think it would be good.

I don't see why they wouldn't. Remember bungie tends to treat their fans a bit better then most developers. Also most games do get patches. Look at Rainbow Six 3. Many complained about the 50 cal and they patched it to let you turn them off.

So if Ubisoft can, I am sure bungie can.

They said they'd use ALL the features possible on xbl.

they should be able to, but i doubt they will need to :) I just think what would be sweet is after halo 2 is a year old they release bonus maps to us, or even (say they havent given BG in halo 2) they give it to us on XBL :D content updates will rock for halo 2 no matter what.

Yeah, I read somewhere from bungie stating that they can guarantee the game to be all that it can be via content downloads.

They can and most likely will use the feature.

I think they are trying to make sure that EVERYTHING is ironed out before they release, so they won't have to release patches. Since if they do release patches, it could end up like Splinter Cell: PT. What I mean by that is that I have XL, but a couple of my friends don't, so now when we try to system link, it won't let us since our versions aren't the same. It would really suck if that happened to Halo 2. But if they did do patches, and downloadable levels, they could just release them on seperate discs you could buy at EB or something, kind of like rainbow six three discs iv'e seen. So there COULD still be patches, but i doubt it.

It would be good if they had patches but then if you do system link with a non-updated xbox it like automatically copies the patch from one xbox to the one that doesn't have the patch on it.
