Crackdown gets an update; notice a difference? photo

Because I've basically been on the road for what seems like a month now (it might literally be more than a month), I haven't really had time to check out some of the new updates for my most favorite games and such. The latest update that is near and dear to my heart is the most recent fix for Crackdown (you know, that game that rocks my tire-shooting world). According to Major Nelson, here's what got patched up:

Next time your pop your Crackdown disc in (and you are connected to Xbox Live) you’ll get prompted for a title update. According to what I am told, The update ‘addresses several minor technical issues to ensure a smoother online gameplay experience’  and ‘increases the number of ambient gang vehicles that populate Pacific City.’ That last one should held with the ‘Repo Man’ achievement. 

Anyone here tried it yet? Problems, concerns, praises?

it seemed like the patch fixed a bit of the slow down at the "pick your weapons" screen.

no doubt many people asking , wheres the update to get their Halo 2 beta??

most likely people have finished the short game and played online and now the disc just sits and waits for the beta use.

I still have orbs to collect, so I haven't totally given up on it, but I feel once I clear the Old Spice challenge thing, I may be less inclined to do so...

So, it depends on when I get my Guitar Hero 2 as to whether or not I pick Crackdown back up before H3's beta comes out.

Old Spice challenge? Is that a contest with Crackdown?

^ same... I kept hearing good things about it so I bought the game and played it on my buddy's 360. It then made me go buy a 360 and I actually CRAVED playing it when I didnt have a system yet.

Anyone else think these problems should have been fixed BEFORE release instead of being patched later? It's good that it's being addressed, but I worry developers are going to start rushing stuff out of the door with the plan to take care of bugs or broken features afterwards.

Ever since my friend and I installed the patch, we've had gang members randomly appearing and disappearing in various places. They will fade into view like they're spawning, and a few seconds later pop out of site, then they'll appear again, shoot you, and disappear.

Have they added an illusionist class to the game?

Oh fuck. They made the game even stupid harder? Fuck off, can I delete a patched upgrade from the hard drive?

Actually Brandon Undead, that happens sometimes when you and your co op buddy are a decent distance/height away from eachother in an area with tons of spawning enemies. Your best bet is to just ignore them or just shoot them once to make htem dissapear.
