Halo 3 is better than Reach

Xbox Live: iSupremacyX

I was just wondering if it was possible for Bungie or Microsoft to release a somewhat patch for halo 1. not anything in terms of the game since they don't support the game anymore, (IDIOTS) but i have windows vista, and halo pc is very glitchy. I was just wondering if they could release a download or something, that would fix this. its not my graphics card either since i am using a 8600gts and up to date forceware.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I wish they'd fix the netcode, and controller support: Whenever I run forward, it tweaks me off to the side... and I can't "double up" buttons like on the console (i.e. Press X to Reload, Hold X for Action)

i hate that too, when you use a controller it automatically walks. but you can double up buttons in terms of x.

if u set x to action, that also works for reload even if nothing is set for reload. trust me, cus that what i do when i use the controller.


but its not fair that bungie stop supporting the game. microsoft make a new os, and the game is glitchy as ****, but i wana play the game since i bought it, but it's terrible because theres no patches for the new os.

I can play 1-2 hours, but then halo gets glitchy. Halo custom edition can get really glitchy after 5 min of playing....

Actually, the controller doesn't play crappy because of Halo PC, it's the 360 gamepad's driver software. It'll pretty much only work the way it's expected to on games that only "officially" support it.

Correct.

The gamepads stick dont rest perfectly upright and the gamepad has no dead-zone at all.

Though, you can download custom-made 360 controller drivers, and it'll work perfectly. Though, with the games that actually did support it, there were a number of problems.

May I also note that Halo PC is primitive, and unlike H2V, it's either "move at full speed, or don't move at all". It was primary designed for the keyboard, and it works very well with it. But trying to use thumbsticks (or the D-pad) to move just feels... wrong.

Protip: they never DID support the game. Gearbox was in charge of patching things up for Halo, and they lost the rights to do so years ago. The game is dead in the help department.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

I have to admit, Halo PC plays quite buggy on my Vista 32 bit system as well. I've tried numerous drivers and other things like compatibility modes, but nothing works. All my other games play fine for long extended periods of time. It's annoying. Btw, I'm using a 7900gtx.

Halo CE forever!

I have 8800 GTS and Vista(HP32) and I get weird white flashes over textures on every "HaloPC"-game. Trial, full version, and custom edition, they all do it. It's constant, and they appear only if I change my direction of look. I tried to fraps it, but the weird and ironic thing is that my powerful pc runs Halo "better" with fraps recording (there are no flashes). Would someone help me, if know's the problem? I have the latest hardware. Oh and one more weird thing - dxtweaker doesnt work on my pc. The whole program window is full of sh1t. :(

Halo dosen't support newer graphics card, go to microsoft.com and look up halo. There will be a section about waht grphics cars it supports.... the best under the support list is nvidia geforce 4 series.
