The Halo 3 auto update intended to fix melee match host advantage should be ready to download today.
In an update yesterday on Bungie.net, the developer said it was due “in the wee hours of Wednesday, Feb 20th, PST”, meaning UK gamers should get it any time now – we’re eight hours ahead.
The update will address some minor bugs and gameplay issues, including changing the “unpredictable outcome of a melee contest”.
According to Bungie.net, “if you close for a melee attack and are at a clear advantage (or disadvantage), the outcome will be clear. If the outcome is unclear, too close to call, you will likely trade kills with your victim. But you should no longer watch your opponent saunter away for no clear reason (and if you do, check the filmit tells all.)”
