They just never upgraded. There are UI hacks that skip over the check for the update.
IIRC when using a cracked version it skips checking for updates, even though the UI still shows it checking. They wouldn't even know there was an update. I only upgraded to 1.08 when MTV came out, and I never got a message telling me to update on the rare occasion I went to play MP.
Also, there's the whole vista thing that prevents many from upgrading too.
No, they did. You have to upgrade otherwise the game will detect it is out of date.
You need to run the update, then copy over the cracked 1.0(4) exe. For some reason, Halo's update check is back-asswards so not all files can be up-to-date and it will still pass the "checking for updates" screen.
The people that don't run an installer can't use an external app for MTV.Quote:

Are you using the original or Custom UI that checks for updates?Quote:

Could be your issue on the "doesn't show new updates" matter because the Custom UI could easily do the same thing...Quote:
