Resolved Issues

Halo 2 (All Platforms)

Resolved a crash that could occur during long playthroughs.
Enemy Elites now dual wield.
Fixed an issue where the Energy Sword displayed incorrectly when viewed against flood tanks in “The Oracle.”
Rebuilt the lightmap for the initial classic cinematic on “Outskirts” to return lighting and shadows to OG Xbox visuals.
Adjusted a default gamma option to bring it closer to OG Xbox. This may result in lighting and brightness looking different then our past patch.
Fixed an issue that was causing players in matchmade games to grenade jump higher than expected, bringing the height back down to OG Xbox clients.
Fixed an issue where the “Malfunction” skull would display HUD elements incorrectly while dual wielding.
Infinite ammo and grenades now display with the “infinity” symbol in the HUD.
Fixed an issue where a controller would sometimes be stuck vibrating after coming out of gameplay.
Resolved a loading issue that would cause Campaign Co-Op Players to disconnect when starting a mission.
Horizontal mouse movement while on a stationary turret is now unbound and no longer restricted by the turning radius.
