who the hell is this guy? ^ is he a mod or does he just have a stick up his ass telling everyone the rules every 5 min. in every forum?

anyway, i think there is actually something in the win XP Service pack 2 that helps out Halo, i could be wrong, you dont happen to have a vaio do you? sony put out a patch to make halo quit running like criznap and freezing too.

the least i could do.

Thanks, DEATHbySN00SN00

Actually, I have Service Pack 2 for XP so that isnt going to help. ad no i dont have a Vaio, I have a custom built PC. Anyway, if anyone thinks of any other things I can try please post.

To VII Toast, If your so hyped about the rules bro, CHANGE THE FORMS DISCRIPTION "Discussions about anything and everything Bungie" "ANYTHING"!

Thanks,
Wolfy

Dont blame VII toast. We need more people like him directing you fools around this place.Without people knowing what is going on every post and it's mom wuold be blocked becuase of stupid topic placement.

I must agree this does bleong in the Maw forums.


This forums are for talking about Bungie and their games and ideas. like futrue games or what happens when bungietakes over the world.

He's not a mod. He's just one of the 1% of Bungie.net users who isn't a -blam!-. Guess which percent you're in?

Don't blame the guy! He's nice.


Anyways, I know alot of stuff when it comes to computers, but I don't know about this.
I have a geforce fx 5200 card, and it works pretty good with that, so I don't think it is the grapich card. The rest of the computer seems good too....
I give up, I need to look at the computer to heal it =)

What the heck? VII Toast is cool. He is just helping people around with the forums. He is just saying that it isn't the right forum. And no, he doesn't spam.

We should all try to be like Toast. He's one of the few people on the forums who actually cares about the community and attempts to make it better.

Sigh,

Look, I did'nt come here to push and shuve, I just wanted answers to why my halo, which should work superb, dosent. I agree with the MAW forums, so I have posted it in there as well. Anyway, I just wanna play the game, so if anyone knows anything please post it. I have another friend who has the same problem as I, but his is with both Halo and Battlefield 1942. His friend can run his games really good on his machine but my friend's computer which is better thanhis friends has problems with his games frameing just like me. On my side, BF1942 works without a problem, but I share the same problem as him where my Halo frames badly,

Ach! Was ist los?

I think your problem is related to the sound card; on-board ones generally suck. Try disabling EAX and running Halo with sound variety on Low and quality on Medium.

Hello All,

Ive serched the net looking for an answer but could'nt find anything specific to my problem so ive come here.

Anyway, my problem is Halo for PC runs terible on my good machine, yet it runs good on my moms older laptop!? Basicly, all the effects in the game work but the gameplay is slow, the movement is laggy and almost unplayable. I turned graphics down to medium I have the resolution down to friggin 800x600 and im still haveing slow downs, expecially in the second level where you crash land on the planet and your outside. I look around in a 360degree radious and the movement is jerky and slow in spots where you can see long distances. Its terrible I can hardly play it!

My System Specs
Windows XP Professional
Pentium 4
3.4Ghz
1Gb of Rosewell DDR Ram
Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 8x4x AGP (256MB Version)
Direct X 9.0 C
On Board Sound
Newest Drivers From Nvidia
All Windows Updates.

Anyway, on my moms laptop it runs great. The gameplay is smooth and everything runs perfect. Her specs are
Dell Inspiron 8100
Windows XP Home
Pentium 3
Geforce 2 GO Video Card
Direct X 9.0c

Please Help, I hurd some stuff about FSAA and I dont know anything about it. Also someone told me something about running Halo directly from the ram or something? I run Doom 3 Perfectly with settings on High, I play Battlefield and tons of other games without a problem but so far Halo is the only one with a problem. I have the Newest Halo patch, and still expierence the same problem. I changed all the video options from steady 30fps to all the other 3 options but still no go. If anyone knows anything about how to solve this issue please respond.

Thanks In Advance
Wolfy

anyway to stay on the question asked, i had a geforce 5200 and then i laid down 250 for a geforce 6800. boy is there a huge difference in my gameplay. i recommend upgrading the video card, it is very bad.
oh and in my sig specs ull see i haven't updated my card :)
