Let there be CHAOS!

For any of you out there with H2V, how is it running? For me, I feel like I'm playing a Halo CE mod with -useff on my old Celeron processor. It's just aweful, let me put it that way. I have an ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 512mb and I've installed all the drivers, any idea what the problem is?....

I'm going to try reinstalling them now to see if it helps.

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz each
RAM: 2 gb

Rating: 4.6

Well I don't think it's my graphics card. I hate to say it, but H2V looks and plays awefully. Even with all low settings, I can't get much past 30 FPS, and I get a ton of lag spikes.

Christ if those are your specs I cringe to think how this game is going to run on my 1 Core CPU-1 RAM system...

How high are you running the settings/Resolution?

Dear God, I was just playing my first online game in my own server... someone shows up, kills me, and the game freezes and I have to ctrl+alt+del out of it.

And right now I'm running details on High, res at 800x600, and no anti-aliasing. I get an okay framerate in a room, but if I go outside, I get around 30 fps. Then, sometimes when something like an explosion happens, I get a half second freezeframe. It's really terrible. This is not The Actual Sex at all you guys. I really think I'd rather continue playing this game on my Xbox, seeing as there's no bad framerate and I don't have an uber TV so the bad graphics don't show as much. I mean it actually looks better on Xbox to me.

It appears that PC gamers will never experience Halo the way it was meant to be played unscathed... *sigh*

It seems to be just another bad port.

I dunno, it just looks bland to me. And btw, that 1024x768 resolution is pushing it lol.

This isn't the Halo 2 I know. Why does that look like ass?

I wish it was... I wish it was...

:(

Graphics aren't the only problem either. Here's a list of glitches/lame stuff I've discovered so far:

1. Button combos still exist
2. Superbounces still exist
3. You can't crouch while running (as in you have to let go of W to crouch - it's kind of irritating)
4. The text chat is really glitchy: as I'm typing, if I hit the key that brought the text chat up, it goes away ('Y' in my case) - It's hard to explain
5. During the Postgame Carnage Report, there is no text chat - You have to wait until it gets back to the lobby

That's about it for now, but I'm sure the list will get bigger.

It's because he doesn't have Anisotropic filtering enabled. And, of course, Anti-Aliasing.
