I could ask the very same thing for PCs.

You could play it on a Mac, but not with the best of frames. Probably no more than 20?

20 frames per second? Wow. My mac gets about 40 frames per second with Model reflections, detail objects, full ingame options,. And with my graphic card, it defy's logic O_o
(Graphic card- Nvidea Geforce 5200. Computer-IMac G-4)
(Well, I play in a window)

And there are no bars on cutscenes!

My Mac Halo has cutscene bars. I don't know what could be ailing yours. : /

Mac's will always be a for emo losers. The only good thing that you could use on a Mac was a game called The Incredible Machine, back in 94.

I happen to have in my possesion Description of Emo.
No mention of Macs.

SOOL

Good things you can use on a Mac? Don't get me started. (ie. Marathon, Halo, Battlefield 1942, Star Wars Battlefront, Prey, Close Combat: First to Fight, Call of Duty 2, plus the disk tray doubles as a retractable drink holder.

I'm not sure about this, but doesn't the Mac version show a bigger, bolder font for the text chat in multiplayer?

Yes it does. Sometimes it obscures where I'm trying to shoot, it's so big and high on the screen. I think it's lower down on the PC from what I've seen in screen shots.

I've also heard that the hogs in PC have brake lights. Macs don't.

I for one prefer the Mac multiplayer text the way it is. It gels more closely to the blue theme of the HUD. Halo PC's MP text just seems so... tacked on; being white, and a different font and size.

You're correct about the brake lights. Mac Halo also doesn't display the glowy thangs on the helmet flashlight, the Plasma Rifle, the Banshee wingtips, the Plasma Pistol, the Fuel Rod Gun, the Ghost, the Scorpion headlight, or the Warthog headlights.

All of these features, however, are included in the Mac Halo Demo, which was released after the full version. I suppose MacSoft pulled an oh-schnapps-look-what-we-forgot-add-it-in-better-late-than-ne ver.

I hate macs. We have them at school and THEY ARE TEH SUXZ0Rz!!11!
They're so laggy in everything. And then theres that mouse... Yeah you know what I''m talking about. That ugly, rectangular, One-buttoned-but-really-two, piece of -blam!-. Half the time I click on Word or some other program and end up right clicking it because of the -blam!- mouse. Lol!


You're using a Mac made in the early nineties. You have no meaningful say, get out.

LMAO! I had no idea that apple would still be selling computers they made in the 90's. These are what I was talking about and these are what I say suck. How I have no meaningful say makes no sense to me.

Based on your description of Apple's (so-called) Mighty Mouse as 'rectangular,' when it is in fact rather ovoid in apperance, Mattbluhalofan, well versed in Apple history, surmised that you were speaking of this ninetys Apple mouse (which is in fact rectangular in appearance), and by extension, this ninetys Mac (on the left) as today's Macs do not support such olde-school mouses without a little ignore-the-man-behind-the-curtain shenanigans.

Apple doesn't sell ninetys Macs anymore. They're mainly the possesions of educational facilities, stick-in-the-muds who resist OSX, Apple merchanise collectors, and those looking to make a quick buck on ebay.

You're right. The Mighty Mouse is the suck. I have one, and I disabled the right click button because i was tossing frags when I was supposed to be shooting. I really dislike that mouse because you can't feel the buttons to get your bearings, therefore you don't know which button you're clicking, which is bad, not just for gaming.

Tell whoever is in charge of your school Macs to buy better mice.

CNTRL + Left Click > Mighty Mouse Right Click.

Your school makes me jealous. :<

I agree there. The white font seems so stock, and boring. You would assume they would come up of a different color and a unique font, but instead we have the standard white.

This Mac is awful, it comes with an awful graphics card, 1Gb ram, 250GB hard drive and a slow processor all for $1,999.00. Now that is a rip off, thats why i like using my PC, its cheaper, all games can run on it, i recive more support and when i buy a new PC, i can get the latest stuff for £1000, around $1700 i think it is.

You can always force AA in the graphics drivers options.
