I've had Halo PC for a long time, but having played the campaign dozens of times on Xbox I never got around to playing it on PC

Well now I have, and I've also noticed something that is killing my Assault on the Control Room Experience

Ugly

Any fix for this? Am I doing something wrong? Or is this another imfamous 'addition' from Gearbox?

Running on a 6200 OC with everything at max.

A 6200? You should upgrade, man. It may indeed be another 'addition' from Gearbox. I'm not sure.

My memory is hazy, but does it look like that on the Xbox version? I haven't put Halo inside my 360 in so long, I don't remember.

My 6200 is an upgrade lmao from integrated (mobo only has pci, but I'm upgrading before Crysis' release)

The xbox version is pure white as the snow falls and the light shines its way into the canyon

On PC it looks like an N64 game

Yeah, chances are it's probably another 'addition,' unfortunately.

If you got some cash in your pocket (about $150) or a good black market dealer, you should try getting the 7600GT. After just switching out my card, no RAM or CPU upgrades, I went from medium 640 x 480 settings with some lag, to 1240 x 1024 with all the settings up and like 70fps, not just for halo but for all games. Then I got an extra 512 of RAM and an new CPU (Athlon 3200) and wow, now my PC kicks ass!

But anyway, if you want a decent card, anything from 60-90 dollars will suit ya. I still recommend the 7600GT though.

I'm assuming you're talking about PCI-e am I right

I don't have any slots like that.

It's his Gfx Card actualy, some cards can't render the fog well.

Since when can the 6200 not render fog? I can understand saying it wont render it very fast, but it does support shader model 3 and below.
