Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I believe he said he was pushing it out through the auto update tomorrow.(Friday)

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.

Right, duh, sorry!

This update seems to have deleted my profile. And, I don't exactly want to play the campaign all over again. Is there a way to retrieve it?

So I guess this means that until someone releases a patch the covers the original Mac version and the Universal Binary Mac version, all Mac users will not be able to play Halo on any of the updated servers, right? Who would we look to to get such a patch created, or are we all gonna be out of luck?

I've been in contact with the right person to make this happen.

Nevermind, this was my fault. I deleted it about a year ago.

Hopefully they'll make it happen, since it'd me a massive shame to have the 5 Mac players split up from the main community! ;)

Well I heard that you cant use an average bot such as the power corrupts bot or the original bitterbanana bot so i dled one (JUST TO TRY THIS OUT) and i started it up after halo was started, my halo crashed and gathered exeption data, i started the bot up before opening halo, my game gave me exeption data when it was loading the map, thus you cant use the most popular type of bot ;)

Keeep Out of reach of children!!!

after i installed 1.08 i cant play it right. stuff is invisible (but still click-able) in the menu and game. now when i start up it says i am under minimum requirements at 0mb RAM even tho I have 4gb of ram and a 3.8 quad with a 8800GTS 512. when i get to the menu it sets the resolution to 640 x 480 and no option to go up, when i normally have it at 1600 x 1200 (cuz i cant get 1680 x 1050 for the game normally). i am using Vista Ultimate 64-bit and this may be a compatibility issue even though the previous versions worked perfectly. is it working for anyone else?

yay hopefully a mac patch will come out.

I know my nickname is absolutely stupid. Consider it a sin of my youth...

Try it like this (replace with the halo ce path)

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -vidmode 1680,1050
or
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -vidmode 1680,1050 -window

It may work if your monitor supports it.


Thanks for the suggestion, the game starts as usual in fullscreen mode, edges aren't cut, unfortunately the resolution doesn't change I think, still 1440x900, because the letters of the startscreen are still blurry...maybe I'm wrong, does anyone know that better than me? ;-)

lol, im glad this has happened, it'll mean that when the use-by date of my cd is up, i'll still be able to run the game.

My other question is, when i want to make a new post in a forum, do i have to reply to someone, because that seems to be my only way

Uhm, I've got a problem, don't know why and what caused it, because I didn't changed anything. Long story short: When I launch Halo CE the loading screen pops up as usual, but then, when everything's loaded, the music of the game's menu starts and I can hear the sound of choosing the different options of the startscreen, BUT I still see the loading screen and not the menu of the game....
hope you understood what I mean ;-)

I can't even take a screenshot, because the screen is just black then, but ingame I just see the loading screen...very strange

See that? Good. Now bookmark this page, because you'll have to come back here if you want to see it again. As an added treat for our loyal users still playing Halo PC after 5 years, I got clearance to discontinue the CD check as part of this patch! This doesn't change the licensing (don't pass around your disc), and you still need your unique product key to play online, but I figure your CD is probably pretty scratched after all this time, and it deserves a break. Anyway, on to the patch...


For 5 years i have been playing, and now seriously this is the official, best update that any bungie employie has released.

Congrats on all the work you have done for us, and thanks for all the work befor hand to keep this game going for 5 years.

I am 100% sure that their already was a NO-CD Patch for it... I remember my friend gave me a link to it so I can play it with no disc so he can have his disc back. Yes I am right their was one. Then what is this for? Or was the other one not published or blah blah blah.


There are no cd patches out there for just about everything, ever. They are just unofficial, and more or less illegal, depending on who you want to argue with.
