Heyyo,

1.06 just 'tries' to fix some multiplayer issues, shouldn't affect singleplayer at all.

Just FYI Vectorracer, you can test this yourself. Just right click your Halo shortcut and add "-timedemo" to the tail end of your target exe path. For example:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -timedemo

This will run a series of scenes from campaign mode and spit out a txt document in the above directory, called appropriately enough, timedemo.txt

As a rudimentary benchmark tool, you could run the timedemo prior to installing 1.06 and after installing 1.06 and then compare the results. I also use this tool for when I'm upgrading drivers to test the gain or loss in performane.
