Keep it authentic...

If you're playing a game via system link or XBConnect and you don't have any of the updates but the people you're playing with do, what happens? Will you play the un-updated version and they will play their updated version? Will glitches that can only be done on the un-updated version work in a game with people that have the updates? I know there was a huge change in the melee attacks with update 3, what are they like in the un-updated version and will the people with the update's melee attacks be more powerful than yours if you don't have the updates?

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

I am not familiar with XBC/Kai grunty, so I really cannot help you there.

As for System Link, I thought if someone had the most current update for Halo 2 and the other Xbox(s) did not...then the outdated Xbox(s) would automatically download the current update from the Xbox that had it. I don't think you could run System Link games with multiple Xbox's that had different update stages.

Again, I am not really sure man, but I know someone here does =)

If it is like that for system link then it will be like that for XBC because XBC basically is system link.

Tom T (a bungie.net Forum Moderator) is running a Community Carnage Night for Halo 2 over XBC. He had this to say in that thread:

I have just thought about DLC and Title Updates. Since the original XBL went offline I have got a new Xbox, and while the Halo 2 DLC and TUs are still on the current Xbox it doesn't seem to allow them to be used. Will this affect my ability to play?
Not at all. Halo 2 uses the update version of the host xbox. All other players, whether they have the update on their console or not, seamlessly play with the changes.

So I guess it all depends on the host box =)

Host as in person choosing the maps and games or host as in person that jumps higher than everyone else?

I just played with Tom T today! I was like "Is that the moderator? Nah, it can't be." I guess it was!

"I'll tell you right now, if you ever see someone called ll wa1do ll... leave the game immediately. My friend knows him, I've been in his party a few times, do not mess with this guy. From what I've heard, he's the real deal. I also heard someone made a guy named Wa2do (similar to his name) and then he hacked that guy and boosted off his level." -From Minou on Bungie.net

You'll play whatever the host xbox is updated to.

So the Xbox that is hosting the games? Like choosing the maps and gametypes?

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Host as in Connection-Host. On XBL, this was a random person other then the party host, it MIGHT be the same on system link.

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

You play with whatever update the host has, i.e if you have 1.2 and the host has 1.0, you can sword cancel just like anyone can.
