I know I have read that halo 2 will make use of the new XBL 3.0, and in fact that XBL 3.0 was designed for Halo2. my question is has anyone read or seen new features of XBL 3.0? also, Im hoping the release at least a few days before halo 2, so there is not a mad rush to download it on nov 9th, and it was also give microsoft a few days to make sure the servers and interfaces are working right.

it says that it will implement some of the new things for xbl 3.0, but it doesnt say all. i was under the impression that 3.0 would be a new look for xbl, with upgrades specifically targeted for halo 2

XBL 3.0 (The Tsunami upgrade) is already out, except no games that are out right now (except for R6 3: BA) use it.

This could be one of the reasons that Halo 2 will not come out on August 24th. I dont no if this really makes sense but here goes. If XBL 3.0 was designed for Halo 2 then it must be released in order for Halo 2 to be playable online. I dont really understand how this whole thing works but maybe Halo 2 will not run on XBL 2.0 or whatever and can not be released until XBL 3.0 comes out. If someone could tell me if my theory is correct that would be great.

Remember a few months ago Xbox Live went offline for a few hours to "implement new feautures" or something, that was XBL 3.0.

XBL 3.0 is already out. There would be no difference if Halo 2 came out August 24th or November 9th, it will have XBL 3.0 whenever it comes out.

That doesn't matter. Everyone who has Xbox Live has version 3.0, it was automatically upgraded way back in April. Except the only games that support it are Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow, since that was made after the upgrade came out.

doesnt matter we KNOW xbl 3.0 is the current version of xbl. Rainbow Six 3 Black Arrow REQUIRES IT. Oh and that comes out TODAY! so that means xbl 3.0 IS out. thank you and good night.

xbl 3.0 is not out yet because microsoft said when it comes out you will have to download it.
nobody on xbl have it yet so you are wrong.
