Taking Halo 2 to Xbox Live

An anonymous reader writes "In this new interview, Bungie Studios engineering lead Chris Butcher explains how his team took Halo 2 multiplayer battles to Xbox Live, with minimal glitches. Turns out there are a lot of clever tricks involved." From the article: "It's actually the same network model we used in Marathon back in the day, although Marathon had some bugs in it. The thing with this networking model is if there's a bug in the computer code where two machines could provide the same inputs but get different outputs, there can be problems. There are lots of different ways that could happen."

At least a week since the last Halo 2 ad

Hmmm, now it's only a week since the last Slashdot Halo 2 "Article" (Advert).

Running out of thigns to say about it? How about: "Halo 2 is best sequel" or "Halo 2 saves white mice from experiments" seeing as Slashdot has ran just about every other Halo 2 related story for no good reason.
