Halo 2 Expansion?

Gamespot has coverage of the appearance on an official Korean Xbox site of a "Halo 2 X-Pack". The possible expansion is another possible way for Bungie and Microsoft to get the heavily foreshadowed ending to fans of the series. From the article: "Such a Halo 2 expansion could be a twofold boon for Microsoft, adding another incentive for gamers to join its online service and squeezing further dollars from the nearly 7 million gamers who already have Halo 2."

Sounds interesting.

This ain't a PC game [yet], it's a console game. Expecting to need to patch a console game to make it work properly (there isn't even a patch out, is there? though they could install one via Live?) is just not acceptable. When I purchase a console game, I expect it to work properly so long as I do not damage the physical media.

Flaws that allow people to cheat on internet games are only "acceptable" when it is possible to extend the system to make it harder for people to cheat. Since you can't do that with console games, those kinds of bugs are unacceptable if the game servers are not updated rapidly.

Personally I am not going to get too emotionally involved in any Live games, since eventually Live, too, shall pass. I'll play Halo 2 on PC when it comes out there. From what I consistently hear, I'm not missing much anyway. Of course, if Halo 2 for PC is as buggy as Halo 1 for PC, I might as well give it a miss.
