IMO whoever says the graphics r the same as Halo 2 needs to get there eyes check or maybe try playing halo 2 again after u've played halo 3.

Just got the game, but when inserted it asks to update, im not connected online and never been for many many months.
Is it safe to run update from the disc?

Halo 3 is much better than Halo 2 gameplay & story wise.  The graphics are slightly better (namely effects, dynamic landscape, and particles), but they did reuse most of the character models since it would not make sense to start adding polys and crap where it doesn't belong.  The maps feel professionally done this time at nearly every step.  Plus the music is better and more appropriately timed than in halo 2.

Also the update is the same update you get from connecting to live and is safe for now.

YES!!! I got halo 3 about 30 minuets ago and it HAS AN UPDATE ON THE DISK.

I reverted my firmware to the original so that I would not get banned just incase.

The update however is not a Dash update, it just seems to be a game update like any other.

Hmm.. Call me n00b but I let my 360 "update" with whatever was on the HALO 3 disc and now everything (dash, Halo 3, other games) are all black and white...Repairable how? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) TIA.

Hey im with this guy. I updated the game and now my xbox goes to a purple screen on start up everytime that says update fail call XBOXlive this is non modded legit one. And CS says they have no idea. Any idea how to get it where i can at least go back to my dashboard or something I have even tried other games no luck.
