I'm not able to do that right now, I have an older ATI card in my old computer, but I doubt it's any better than what I'm running. Are there any tricks to getting this thing to run a little faster? I'm not looking for a miracle, just for the game to be a little less choppy.


Thanks

turn settings to their lowest and get more ram.
if you frown upon the terrible graphics, it's ok, THe MaRd found a neat skin to fix that problem.

I'm not too worried about how it looks, it would be nice, but game speed is what I want, during the "Flood" level is where it seems worst, but it is all around bad whenever there's a lot going on.

just because i was asked how to aply the mod (in a PM), i'll tell you all now:

first you unzip it with win RAR and then you have a .ppf file that must be applied to your bitmaps.map file in your c:\......\halo\maps
BEFORE YOU APPLY: make a backup copy of bitmaps.map, so that if this mod screws up your halo, you can always fix it easily
now it's time to apply the file
how? why with PPF-o-matic:
(here)
when you d/l and unzip both files, open PPF-o-matic, go to the first line, select browse and find the bitmaps.map file in your halo/MAPS folder(if no files are in that folder, make sure you don't have it set to 'cd imiages;' set it to show 'all files'). then , in the second line, locate the .ppf file and click apply. it may take a few seconda, because it's a big file to be aplied to the bitmaps.map, but soon enough it will be aplied, and you can play halo with okayish graphics, but a crapy card.

NOTE: i have no real way to test this mod, so i have to go with the feedback given on the link i gave you. tell me how it is so that i can recomend (or not recomend) this mod to others.
