i finally got my hpc not to look like such a piece of -blam!-. pause the game, go to change settings, video settings, and turn decals on, set particle effects and textrure quality to high, and picture size to bigger

it still looks bad due to my video card for example camoed ppl look like ghosts as opposed to the cool effect, and shields are just pure yellow, no squigglies for me.

also, in the CMT campaign mod, i still cant see jackal and elite shields, or those nice particle effects in the library, but at least its a start.

im afraid im gonna have to confiscate your testicles.

What are you, the Cyber police? lol.

Bah, I feel your pain, except my card is a little better. For example, Master Chiefs visor is black, there is no shine, and no shadows. : ( Though right now someone is helping me find a better card.

(Thank you!)

Also, on Yoyorast_island on CE, I cant see the water...

(I hate my graphics card!)

No, he's not. Alienware's retail video cards run up to $700 plus--that is, if you choose to buy over-priced hardware, such as an Alienware computer.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

I think he meant $70 dollars for a cheap one lol.

^SAME!
I can't see Jackel or Elite shields in CMT Campaign either.
My graphic card just doesn't show detail, like the finishing touches. I.e. camo shiny-look, shiny weapons, grass strands, etc.

yeah. try the particle effects and decals and such. it might work for you. it doesnt fix the shields though

and you have got to be kidding about the $700 thing.

I used to have a bad video card that wouldn't let me turn on shadows or specular effects (It was a Geforce MX 4000).

Assuming your computer has an AGP 4x/8x slot, since it was made in 2000 or 2001, and you are considering upgrading your video card, this card will run Halo just fine, and it's cheap ($55).

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

Why don't people make it a goal to upgrade every year? That would solve a lot of these problems, and keep people from spending too much at a time.

Galap, its because you have a crappy video card. Which is why your graphics suck. And also why stuff like specular and shadows arent available.

I have a Radeon X1600 Pro card, and this is how it turns out.

Beleive it or not, some people don't have the money, will, and/or need to upgrade every year.

Believe it or not you dont need to upgrade every year. Hell, the radeon 9700 released in 2002 supported all of the features required to run halo with all details...

Guys, guys, guys. You have NOT experienced bad graphics until you have played HPC on my computer.

Lacking elements:

Luster
Shadows
Color(good color)
Any and all elements that make the graphics look anywhere near the level of good.

As for the decals and particles, they are greyed out. So there.
