I'm assuming all you complainers got the game and aren't happy with it. Sucks for you, I'm going to buy it anyway because I like Halo 2 and don't have the money for an Xbox 360. (we're not all made of money you know)
It will run it on Max, High Res and 4x AA if that is what you mean. But make sure it is the 640MB version. Not the 320MB.[/quote]
Textures were actually 128x128 on the Xbox. The original Xbox wasn't that powerful.
The 8800 will run it regardless of it's RAM size. nVidia cards are designed to use system memory if the card memory gets low enough. Techically you could run H2V at max on a 256MB card because it Windows usually reports the memory as 512 MB. Also, video cards don't put everything in memory permanently.
Just play the game, don't worry about it's shortcomings, because no game is perfect. A lot of you played the first Halo, and that's garbage compared to this.
All cards will use System RAM when the Video RAM runs out. That's what Cache thrasing is. Transfering data from the system RAM to the Video RAM. It causes Lag. Unbearable Lag. It will make a gam unplayable.
Also, I am very satisfied with H2V. I don't know about anyone else.
And lastly, from information available, the Textures on the original xbox were 256x256. The XBOX has 64MB of Dedicated RAM.
LOLATH2V, You don't know what you are talking about. Halo for PC was complete trash compared to H2V.
