The only issue I ran into was I had to upgrade my Graphics card to run Direct9.0. But that is not a problem, it is just an upgrade needed to run this high end game.

I'm in the exact same predicament that grease monk is in. I am getting a new graphics card. Ati Radeon 9600xt 256mb ddr. If that puppy doesn't run halo then nothing will. I know that the card i am getting can run halo everything high no problem.

You can buy it at Ati.com. Or you could get it off ebay. Or you could probably get it at circuit city/ future shop.

My graphic card isn't the best but it runs it. IN MP it had a tendency to freeze up so that I can still look arouund with my mouse but I can't run or fire and everyone els eont eh screen just kinda.. keeps going in the same direction they were going when it happens. Until I have to exit out.

The difficulty jump from Heroic to Legendary is too wide. Very commonly told, though.

Yep, thats the exact same with me Dragon X . I have a integrated SIS 32mb card, and when i run the trial version, (i am getting thefull version today! :) ), it starts up and tells me that my graphics are below the minimum requirements. You get two choices, "continue anyway", "continue in safe mode" or " cancel". Anyway, my graphics are so low that on multiplayer, the guys are all the same color white, no matter what you select your color to be. Anyway, the reason it runs is because it continues in safe mode,which automatically turns the graphics way below the games min which are if i'm not mistaken 640x480. The whole game is pixelated.Multiplayer runs o.k. i suppose. But single player campaign mode skips like hell, even though its not even in a resolution mode, and its the same story with everything, and i mean EVERYTHING turned off if possible, or turned down to the lowest it can go. thats all i have to say.

I have to turn everything down or off to play and still with a few problems. I have a 1.50ghz processor and 128mb ram. All that checks out and after updating a few drivers I could play the game. (Before I updated those drivers, it wouldn't work at all!) I'm getting an Nvidia 286mb graphics card though ($128.00). That should at least fix that problem nicely. In fact, I plan to use it in any new computer I get for years to come. I hear that others push more power for less MB, but I'm going with this. If Halo really only takes 32MB, this should let me push everything to Pluto! Or even the new planet... what’s that called again? I think it was named after a Greek sea goddess... Anyway, now I have a problem playing online. Click here to see.

I'm just a Halo Xbox vet trying to play online with a few friends. I may rock at the Xbox version, but I'm still re-learning the controls on PC. The lack of visuals I'm use to on Xbox doesn't help things either.

That's lag. There's nothing wrong with your computer.

Yeah. That happends to me too. Right before I'm kicked out of the game. (I refer you to my previous post.)

First, the fact that you guys can even get Halo to run with an igu is beyond me. Second, it even states on the box that at least a 64mb video card is neededd, which confuses me even more. I guess if you can barely play MP, that makes sense. Ok, somebody was talking about buying a new video card (radeon 9600xt) for $180cdn. Well, you are getting.. not screwed, but you arent getting any deal. Especially since its off of Ebay. If its defective, theres not much you can do about it. For $200cdn, you can get a brand new 9600xt (from Sapphire, powercolor, gigabyte etc) and not have to worry bout any of that stuff. my 2 cents.

EDIT-
Oh yea, about the blurry sniper/pistol zoom, have you updated your drivers for your gpu in the last 3 months or so?

EDIT AGAIN-
T-Man, the 9600xt is a very nice card, however, with everything turned to high@ a 1024*768 resolution, you cannot run any AA or AF (not that it matters because Halo PC suffers HUGE performance hits on any card with AA and AF enabled)

I wouldn't get your expectations too high for the 9600xt, it's not that powerful of a card, it will run halo but not on max settings.
