When Halo 2 was online in the regular xbox days (when the 360 didn't exist), could updates/patches be possible? If so, why didn't Bungie patch the super bounces and glitches like BXR?Why do you care?
Anyway, yes they did make patches for Xbox 1 games, but what you're asking wouldn't have been as easy as it sounds. Superjumps were actually issues with "cracks" in the maps where players could fall through the map, and then be shot back out. If I'm not mistaken, it's impossible to fix map geometry after the game's release. The cracks were fixed in the PC version to eliminate superjumps.
As for button glitches, it's tough to say. MLG used them and Bungie and MLG have a pretty good relationship (the actual companies, not the communities). If Bungie had removed the button combos from online play, pros (Actual paid pros) would no longer be able to practice online and would have had to use XBC which was not always a viable option for pros who were in college at the time.
IMO, button glitches were one of the best parts of the game. The Halo 2 BR was really easy to use, so things like the Double Shot really changed the skill gap for the better. Some toolbags did cheat and use modded controllers to perform glitches, but it still doesn't take away from the legitimate competitiveness of them.
