Patching isn't an option for Halo, purely because it doesn't have the hooks in the code to look for patches. So while they could easily write one, when you put the disc in the drive, it would not check the HDD for the patch and thus make the whole exercise useless.
Some people say that they should allow patches in some situations. I don't agree. Morrowind (US version) is buggy beyond a joke, but if they let them patch that then where do they draw the line. Similar to letting Bungie patch Halo. Can all developers then release a game and later add the Live! feature whenever they like?
c'mon guys, this is a console not a PC. We have been over this
I for one think Xbox live is great. MotoGP and Whacked are both shit games to be fair, but XBL makes them great. You'll flame me I know, but it is just like MS says, the voice makes all the difference. Still no lag, no troubles, no glitches. Just pure gaming. Now We just need to wait till the good games are released this friday. Give it a chance, my flat mate has been converted to the dark side.
