Halo 3 auto update AUG

There’s a new update out for Halo 3 that should automatically download once you log on. Mostly, the update changes the whole melee system and how a winner is decided in the event of a simultaneous clash. I’m not going to call it a “fix,” because they didn’t really correct a problem so much as just altered how the game works (plus I wasn’t exactly up in arms about the old system anyway). Now, if you and an opponent try to melee each other at the same time, you’ll only win if you have a “sizeable health advantage” over the other person. Otherwise, you both die. I guess this does even things up a bit, considering it gives the host less of an advantage. Bungie has posted all the nitty gritty details about how the change works, including specific hit point numbers and why a system of “who hits first, wins” just doesn’t work on their forums, which you can check out through the link below.

Another problem that me and another person found shortly after the update is very low/laggy nade throws. Like when we would through a nade plasma or anything it would through very delayed and quite a bit lower then where you were aiming. The problem was first the next day, and it seemed to only happen in Free for All matches on Guardian.
