Whenever i try to install, it gets to 10% and stops when it's copying a50.map to the maps folder. And it tells me to verify that my hard drive is not full, or that the file is not in use. My hard drive is not full, and the file is not in use. What gives?

Your hardrive may be "not full" but that doesn't mean it can still fit a certain file. How much space does your HD have left?

Also, what are your specs? Not sure if this is the problem...but perhaps the rig didn't quite meet the system requirements? (although it is unlikely it stopped installing just for that reason...)

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Are you installing from a disc image by any chance?

Duh... how do you think a CD works in the first place?

i have 66.5 GB left i think. I'm on the same computer as my last one i used to play it and i had no problem. So the computer i'm instaling on meets the requirements.

I'm not sure but I think Halo PC is less than 66 gigs. Like 54 or something. Try cleaning the disk with a non abrasive cloth like the kind they use to clean camera's or glasses. Also check for scratches, pits or cracks. If there scratches you can get something to fix it with somewhere.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.
