OK so I have a huge problem with live and I hope they solve this with h2lo. When I play splinter cell or rainbow 6 live it updates and patches up my xbox so that I have a current version of the game to play. Without it I cannot play. Now when I host a Lan party, which I do about every 2 weeks My xobx cannot join a server on the lan or even host, it says games are incompatible. My huge problem is this, I paid for and downloaded the new splinter cell maps and now to play lan Ill have to erase my game and my downloaded maps and lose 5 bucks everytime.
So I am asking where I should send this to possibly let bungie know, or if they already do. Think about it, Ill be playing live a lot when h2lo comes out but Ill be having tons of lan parties, does this mean the same problem of game compatablity? Do my friends that dont have live get to download new maps that I got of live? I have to erase the updates everytime.... now heres the real kicker,,,, is bungie gonna chare for new maps? ... I sure hope not. But anyways do you think bungie has seen this big problem yet, or should I send in a quick note to them.

I played with a person on a LAN who bought the extra maps and it worked just fine. I believe the incompatibility issue only applies to patches

do you play live also? If you do then your game version will be up to date.

Do your friends have live and did the download the latest patches of the game, if you have a patch that they dont then you cant play, just buy a memory pak, put the maps onto that, then put it on their xbox, or put the ptach onto it and put in into their boxes.

this is what you do the recovery your gamer tag on there xbox and download the update and do it from xbox to xbox and and just recovery it one more time on your own xbox so no one can play on you acount ok. that way you have the updates on all xbopx but the gamertag and creidt card and stuuf like that is needed and must match up to the same you put in the day you signed up for xbox live
