The Facts (from Bungie):
- The first groups of maps for Live will be released on April 25, 2005
Containment and Warlock are free, Turf and Sanctuary are $5.99 US (local prices will vary by country)
- The autoupdate (available since Monday 18th) will include the make the following changes to the xbox live experience:
1. Melee damage - instant one-hit kills (while melee-jumping), strength of regular melee atack increased
2. Granades - Both frag and plasma are more powerfull, were talking one hit kills here. They have a shorter fuse for those last minute “hara-kiri” moves
3. Brute Shot - Enhanced, both granades and melee attack with scythe.
4. Magnum - Reduced, no more double wielding super fast killing, unless you go for the head.
5. Plasma Rifle and SMG combo - Reduced. Crap, that was my combo!!!
6. Leaderboards will be reset after the new maps are available, new start for everyone.
7. Rank scoring will be changed (to complicated to explain) basically people will be matched with people of the same skill.
8. This autoupdate fixes most known of the cheats and exploits available. Man I didn’t know there were so many!!
9. When you get the autoupdate, there will be some lag and loading times, while the system optimizes itself for the best connection.
10. Split screen players no longer have pop-up messages, you lose the messages but you gain some screen.
All of these updates make Halo 2 multiplayer more like Halo 1, so everybody get to practice!!
