It’s hard to patch animation issues. It’s not that they didn’t want to. Same thing with the super bounces in Halo 2, do you think they really had the time and manpower to fix the gaps in geometry that caused that? And then make everyone redownload all the content that’s already on the disc?
If they could fix the “modem pause” bug they should have been able to fix about anything there. To my knowledge that was pretty deep in the netcode.
