Ok guys. Finally had my friend over last night and got a chance to really put the 360 through its paces. We were playing multiplayer on Live and ran into a few problems.
#1. The output from live communications was mixed through the speakers and the communicator. I have small children so as you can imagine this is not a good thing!! :-)
We verified multiple times that all options/settings were set to the communicator only and it continued to happen off and on.
#2. The sound would TOTALLY cut out every now and then for up to 3 or 4 seconds. This happened multiple times to us so it wasnt just a fluke once. (Let it be said that i have not had one seconds trouble from sound out of the 360 on any 360 specific game and all of my audio equipment has never given me any trouble so I do belive this is a 360 + Halo 2 thing Or possibly a 360 + emulation thing, but I have not played anything else so I cant confirm that.
#3. The game movement was slightly off. I would venture to say that overall it would be something that we (myself and my friend that play together) could ultimately overcome but I just wanted to throw that out there to see if any one else noticed.
WHAT IS RIGHT!!!
Compliments on the graphics upgrade. It is extremely noticeable!!!. We have a projector that we play on so our maximum screen size in 4:3 mode is 100". The granularity that you see from the original xbox is all but gone on the 360. We tried all three modes 720p, 1080i, and 480p and all were noticeably improved over the original XBOX, however in the end we gave up the graphics upgrade for playability and reverted back to the original XBOX.
Anyone else had these problems, or am I the only person with issues like this??
BUNGIE, any word if something may be done to address these issues if I am not the only one having issues??
