Heyyo,

Usually this is caused by HaloPC, it's not properly optimized so your comp takes a beating on this game. :(

First off, set your framerate to vsync. 30 F/S just can't cut it for a PC gamer, console yes cause of their lower standards, but our PC's demand quality. ;)

Turning off specular lighting is a must. It's just not worth the framerate loss. Shadows would be the next to go since they also seem to take quite a bit of rendering power. Keep your resolution fairly low, I leave mine at 640x480.
