Halo 1 & 2 for PC

Subject: H2V Bug Report

After installing the game has been working great except for the following issues:

- Punches are slower than the 360 version.
- Plasma grenades seem to be on a time like Halo 3 rather than Halo 2
- After completing the Quarentine Zone level it asked me to please insert the original Halo 2 disc. I did and it took me back to the main menu. When I tried to continue my campaign it told me the last check point didn't match what was on my live account so either i could continue without achievements or restart the level. Kinda BS since its a long level and I just beat it.

These are just some thing I have noticed so far. Other than that it looks good and plays pretty decent. I am still more a fan of the 360 version with the exception of achievements.

One bug which is driving me crazy is that when I start a level, I start spinning insanely fast, as if my mouse is pressed to the right side of tthe screen. Which it isn't.

i have that same problem with alot of games... it is because my mouse either sucks or is slightly broken so if you have a spare mouse try that

Do you have some joystick or some other controller plugged in as well as your mouse? Unplug them and try then.

anyone know how to fix the issue of not being able to get past the quarantine level,the library,i got to where the arbiter fallas by getting shot by that one guy then asks to insert disk.

What it is.

Here's a bug(sorta)

-having to disable then re-enable AA everytime a new map loads to get decent frames.
-poor performance due to things?(basically i'm getting low frames for now reason), this could be caused from nvidia's driver, which they need new ones.

Yes I have similar problems. Also sometimes in a busy multiplayer game the screen freezes and crashes then a warning sign on the taskbar says that the video driver stopped responding then restarted. And yes I have a Nvidia card (7950 GT). The only explanation is that a new driver is needed because it says my driver's working on control panel.

Used FRAPS for recording frame rates.
- The mouse is slow as crap, even when I turn the sensitivity up, it just doesn't feel right.
- Some textures don't render properly, but I'm guessing its because of the crappy NVIDIA drivers.
- Frame rate is all over the place (e.g. Started the game playing at 1024-768 at high detail, no AA. On average get about 40fps, but its all over the place, goes up to 120fps than drops to 20. Changed the detail setting to medium, no change in fps, its still a crazy constant 40-50, but goes up to well over 100fps and drops below 40).
- Even at high frame rates of like 60+, it feels like its only playing at 25-30fps.
- Controls suck, had to configure them for better game-play.
- In-game options, and, well options itself just plainly sucks

They would of been far better off just making the game from scratch for PC, instead of porting it from the console.

Does this happen with an optical mouse, or just a laser mouse?

Oh, and here's another little thinger....

-I tried changing the res from 1680x1050 to 800x600 to see if i'd get a performance increase. And guess what? there wasn't any. (so i said to myself, screw that, might as well play at a better res.)
