Halo 3 melee fixing auto update is now live

The very firstest Halo 3 auto update has just been released this morning and will be automatically downloaded once you plop Halo 3 into your 360 and connect to Xbox Live. This update (which we've been calling the "melee fix" update) will make the melee seem a lot less random, unlock the Elite Commando shoulders for everyone and fix the bug where dead Spartan bodies would fly hundreds of feet through the air. Honestly though, we enjoyed that bug. Though, other than that, Bungie hasn't mentioned any other issues that the update will fix. When we contacted team Bungie about obtaining a super-duper comprehensive list of update changes, we were told that the only information being released about the Halo 3 update has been posted on Bungie.net. Humph to that. No matter, we'll make it our mission to track down all the mini-fixes (if there are any) in our first Halo 3 auto update. Now go forth and melee with honor and pride!

I'm not happy with this update. I get most of my killing sprees up close and personal, and the simultaneous kill will probably cut short most of them.

MrKniceGuy:
No LAN network play will be allowed with different versions. It is imperative that you have everyone update so that you can play closed LAN. Also is a MLG rule if that fits your tastes. I've already had this problem and had to reformat my 360 to resolve.

Actually as far as the 10 minute matchmaking thing goes, im pretty sure that goes for every playlist... ive just spent about the past hour hopping from playlist to playlist, and at one point it even said that I had 584 games found in team slayer, but it didnt match me with a single one. I have yet to enter a single game in the past hour and its really pissing me off...
