Title: Update Today On Halo2
Post by: Kean on April 18, 2005, 07:57:00 AM

is says on their site that it's got to be put out a little at a time so that it doesn't overload their servers, so, some regions will get it this morning, some this afternoon and some tonight. I'm kind of curious how it work, people with it playing against people without it....

if your unpatched, it wont let you connect to players with patched boxes.....and if the patch is available, it will come up with a message and you have to go to your dash and update it

Ummm, when Bungie sent off the code to M$ to get certified, its out of thier hands as far as WHEN it will get put out. Didn't you guys read the previous update?

well i dont think they should put anything on their page about doing an update or doing new maps and giving a pacific date on when distributing them! if they have to wait on m$ to get them certified....i think they should do all this stuff then get m$ to get them certified then announce it on their site!

If I have the patch then play against an unpatched xbox over system link will the two synchronise and apply the patch to the other one?

but then all the little bastard kids who know nothing of how a company works let alone game dev studio would be bitching about 1000x more than they already are...

ive got the update and the grenades are much more powerful, i forsee a bunch of 'stolen' kills in ffa's now... the smg seems a bit stronger or more accurate now...

the only other thing that might have changed is the weapons through the wall in beaver creek, though i cant really confirm that (only played one game)...

If the updated box hosts, then all boxes play with the new fixes, but if an unpatched box hosts and a patched box joins, then the unpatched rules apply on the unpatched box.  I forgot to see if the patched fixes applay to the updated box, when the unpatched box hosts, but I bet no.  I'll see tomorrow to let you guys know for sure, but the main thing for now is syslink parties are still all good.

the shorter fuse time is ridiculousely gay...ppl can throw grenades 8 miles away and it will blow up as soon as it hits the ground..or they can throw a grenade from 10 feet and it will blow up with no time for you to avoid it

OMFG...theyre not!!!! yesss they are more powerful...but the shorter fuse time is ridiculousely low...as soon as the grenade hits the ground it blows up...if an enemy throws a grenade across colossus, it will stay in the air the whole time, and as soon as it hits the ground, BAM...all you do is have to throw a grenade directly at someone....theres no bounce time to move out of the way.....where the hell is the short fuse time...grenades shouldnt be able to be thrown across the level and blow up on impact

crappy quality and you have to be smart enough to be able to use rapidshare but...

heres a mov i made showing both halo and halo2's grenade timing...

at best its a VERY SMALL fraction of a second difference... ie a tenth of a second...

mabye....... here is why the grenades blow up after they hit the ground, but not across the map

Title: Update Today On Halo2
Post by: gcskate27 on April 19, 2005, 02:33:00 PM

ok, for long distances they bouce and blow up after about a 1/4 to a 1/3 of a second...

Title: Update Today On Halo2
Post by: P3ST4 on April 19, 2005, 06:57:00 PM

i timed it over and over...there is a 20-30 millisecond difference betweet halo 1 and halo 2 grenades....halo 2 nades definately blow up faster...even a fraction of a second is vital if it depends on getting killed or losing health

thanx for the vid by the way

Lot of games played for someone who seems to hate this game.
