Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

I've been playing Halo PC online for about a year off and on(I play the single player on Xbox) and I noticed its really slow even if my computer pass the requirements greatly, is this because I have Vista? Is there a way to fix this?

Try turning off decals. As far as I know, Vista and decals don't work well together.

for me they do....

try putting this into your shortcut for halo:

Target Line: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -use11

this will emulate an earlier version direct x in halo

Decals? As in the textures?

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.

Go into the video options and turn Decals to off. You don't need to mess with the textures.
