Halo 2: Jack2007
Halo 3: Jack2007

The graphics on PC were supposed to be so much better than Xbox but they SUCK. I would rather get an xbox and the game and spend less money than i would to get a PC powerful enough to run Halo PC plus xbox has HALO 2 so you people that got Halo PC are Idiots

Nobody forced you to buy it, and if you would have read the box, where it says "System Requirements" you'd know you didn't have enough computer to play it, who's the idiot now?

Really, it sucks? On my computer I have the settings on high and get in excess of 80 frames per second.

Oh wait, that's right, my computer does surpass the system requirements.

You can't expect to run Halo on a slow pc. If you have played any computer games, you know that to use them to their full potential you need to have a good pc.

My fx 5500 is a hell of alot better than I thought it would be. Its PCI too. I can have everything but specular on high at 800x600 and run smoothly. If you only have PCI slots, get the 5500 and overclock it. Plus its dirt cheap compared to the $600, what is it, 6800?

Yeah, I'm a bit skewed with my X850XT, but even with my 9600XT, it still ran better than XBox at 800x600 with max settings. Really, I have no clue what this guy is talking about.

Just wondering, how come you over clocked your new card? Is it really necessary, you'll just void the warranty on a card taht will still run 10x better than mine without over clocking it.

I think he is taking his anger at his substandard machine out in a very non-violent way. I personly think that if you are even considering playing games on your pc you should invest alittle.

Hey, I've got an 800 MHz processor and a GeForce 2 MX/MX400 64MB and I run Halo with no shadows, no specular, no decals, low particles, and medium textures at 640x480 with framerates sometimes as low as 10 fps and you don't see me complaining.

neverhood u da man, but you should upgrade. not to the best pc, but at least a athlon xp 2100-2700 with new Motherboard, and a geforce 5500 or something to play halo better. it only costslike 200.00 to do that. you can find fx cards at like 45.00!

once I save about $500 more, I will buy the computer you see in my signature. It's pretty nice, but I have no hope of a job during school cuz I've got 2 huge major projects that I must get A's on. If not, I'll have to make up for it next year, which is too late for college applications.

DAMN! That sucks you should think about buying/building a new comp. I suggest going all out so that you wont' have to make any upgrades for about 3 years.

nah, just get a pc with athlon 64 3000 or intel pentium 4 3 gigahertz and a decent motherboard. u should not spend all ur money because it can cost up to 2000.00!Now, for ur video card, get a geforce 6600 GT or radeon 9600 for good halo performance

You can't compare the 9600 to the 6600GT! The 9600 is far slower.

9600 is cheaper, by at least $100. It's about 5 years old. The 6600 is what, like 1, 2 max?

6610, that's for non-US markets, isn't it? I know they have it in Russia, and I heard that it was also available in Mexico.

What are your settings on Halo. What does that 6010 compare to for ATI cards, (i.e. 9800 SE/XT/Pro etc.)

GreenxPanda: Just look at my signature. I'm gonna build this computer soon. Actually, I thought it over and I only need like $300-$350 more to build it, not the aforementioned $500. It's gonna be a pretty sweet computer. I'm getting a 6600 256MB instead of a 6600 GT cuz it's like $50 cheaper and I don't need all that processing power right now. All in all, the computer will be about $700.
