I just have a few...

NO shader restoration pack (this brings back specular, makes it lok as nice as the xbox version)

NO fov hacks (I'm NOT used to playing under 90 FOV, it's uncomfortable and horribly hard)

Sound in campaign levels can happen 1/2 way through the level, or after thier supposed too, that usually happenes with my old damaged/scratched discs, but why would a patch mess that up?

None of these are anything bad/wrong about the update. The update could give you $20 every minute you play, and the same things still wouldn't work. It's purely a behind-the-scenes update that many of you don't seem to realize probably saved this game. Show some gratitude please.

Thats really sad that ppl still gotta ruin a game like that.
Btw, this patch wasnt put out to stop aim bots it just by chance stopped it for a day or 2.
As for the FOV hack, try playing the game how it was meant to be played FPS.

As stated already, this update wasn't made to stop aimbots. Also, there is nothing to say that video is actually 1.08, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

YOU play halo at 70 FOV. On my wide screen monitor I get 45-50 FOV, it's quite uncomfortable, and gives you an advantage.

I am using the FOV "hack" from widescreengamingforum.com with the new update and I don't have any issues.

Can you give me a link? My FOV hack works with NORMAL halo 1, but NOT with Custom edition, which is the one I mostly play.

Ok, I really could care less about your 3rd party hacks. This is for people to post problems and then have other people fix them. The no cd is nice, and the lead is normal again. Botters were stopped for about a day. This also fixed server crashes, so It really isnt that bad, now.. If you have any REAL problems please post.

3rd party hacks... ALL the people who have widescreen monitors (and these days its getting more and more) can't play in a widescreen format WITHOUT using a FOV modifier because without them it is SO zoomed in you cant see what is front of you without them. It actually turns the game back to how it SHOULD be seen.

No CD's have been around in every single version of halo, nothing new there, botters havn't been stopped and WEREN'T stopped intentionally, it was just a by product of the new code introduced and as for the lead, it hasn't changed at all.

I'd call not being able to play the game without being able to see as you should be able to a "problem" - although the fov program i use still works, so im ok :)

Cyon leader, mind giving me a link?

I have bitterbannan's and Dave's FOV hack, but they only work in retail halo 1, NOT the custom edition.

I don't play custom edition so I can't gaurantee this will work, but it's worth a try:

Cylon I own a widescreen monitor and have never had a problem playing this game...

As far as I see, its still a hack... Not saying its a super terrible hack like aimbotting, wall hacking, or 3rd person FoV but its still not bungie material.

Proudly showing off his new apartment to a friend late one night, the drunk led the way to the bedroom, where there was a big brass gong.
"What's that brass gong for?" asked the friend.
"It's not a gong. It's a talking clock," the drunk replied.
"A talking clock? How's it work?"
"Watch this," said the drunk. He took a hammer, gave the gong an ear-shattering pound and waited. Someone on the other side of the wall screamed: "Hey, you jerk. It's 3:00 in the morning!"

I LOVE not having to use my CD anymore. It has got me playing again.
