Halo 2 did have some major troubles. But I think it is a stretch to place its success on marketing and not on the over game package. XBL and the "Couch" concepts of matchmaking did much more for the success of Halo 2 than advertisements. And the campaign was a quality co-op experience in spite of the buggy nature. Few of the bugs were expkicitly game breaking in my experience.

I Love Bees was spectacular marketing if you were involved, but it also was in many ways not selling the game either.
